Ask Mitt how this works.<br /><br />Apparently, Holocaust victims are exempted from this wacky, ex post facto Redemption. It would be most interesting to know exactly why. Imagine all these religions negotiating with each other regarding their wacky practices and juju.

Nothing here (nor anywhere scientifically literate) ever said that oceans "only rise because of evil manmade climate change". And even that formulation is wrong. What is manmade is the increasing greenhouse gas load (mostly CO2) in the atmosphere. That will cause a greenhouse effect that will warm the earth for a few hundred years.<br /><br />Here's a hint: During the Ice Ages the earth cooled (and man had nada to do with this, or damned little)as the ice built up on the northern landmsss. The ice was mdae of frozen water. The earth has a closed budget of water - there's only so much of it although its physical state - solid, liquid, gas - proportions vary. When the solid portion (ice) increases the liquid portion (the oceans) decrease. As the ice increases and the water decreases, the oceans recede. <br /><br />Thus our ancestors could walk a great deal of the way from there to here (or all the way, later on, across the Siberia-Alaska bridge). And they could stop and have a picnic at a lovely seaside spot that is now under 60 feet of water.<br /><br />All of which should be a cautionary tale for those clever enough to understand what melting ice can do - besides dilute the Scotch..<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-80682495205118645542012-03-01T10:30:55.566-06:002012-03-01T10:30:55.566-06:00Missionary Work~But, but, but you say the oceans a...Missionary Work~But, but, but you say the oceans are only going to rise because of that evil manmade climate change. Hows come they found some of this stuff under ~water???<br /> "A sixth was discovered by scallop-dredging fishermen on the seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast on what, in prehistoric times, would have been dry land."<br />Must have driven their SUV's over I guess.<br />It cracks me up how IMPORTANT you think our species is to the survival of this planet. It'll be here long after humans are gone. That's why I say, make it plastic, grocery store bagger. And double bag it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
