Delightful irony. You are ten times more self-righteous than the religious conservatives you demean.

For those who are pro pollution - How about breathing in the methane cloud coming from my ass? Your lungs would make a fine filter.

Thanks for doing your part.

Alan Evil is wrong again. I give money to charities that benefit me.

Charities for the most part are social disasters (Don't get me wrong when charity goes to research). Just like social security, the largest social disaster of all time. The millionaires create jobs, provide families with financial securty, and self worth. Social security, charities do not provide an infrature for correcting the social issue. They are bandaids. How many poor or middle income people provide jobs? Think before opening mouth.

dmw, you are on the verge of having some sense. But Barbara Boxer. She has very little sense. I bet she is one of those hypocrit liberals. Is she tooling around in an electric car and conserving energy? Or is she riding around in a limo - leave it run driver while I go in and tell them how pitiful there lives are and I am the one that can fix it? When she begins practicing what she preaches, that is when to listen. At least I practice what I preach.

Just goes to show how removed from reality you must be to think that I am on the verge of having some sense! :lol: I could make speculations all day about people and what they practice vs. what they preach - they are only phrases that start with, and I will quote you here, "I bet "-and do not in fact mean that they are correct. Here's one for you: I bet Tripper is an uneducated louse on the hide of mankind who has nothing better to do with his/her life than be a troll! I will quote you again, "Think before opening mouth!"

Ayles Ice Shelf Before (2002) and After (2006):

On August 13, 2005, the Ayles Ice Shelf on Ellesmere Island in northern Canada broke away from the island and floated out to sea. According to news reports, the break took less than an hour, and Luke Copland, director of the University of Ottawa’s Laboratory for Cryospheric Research, described the break as evidence of the Arctic’s rapid response to warming temperatures.

The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite observed the area before and after the ice shelf breakup. The top image, acquired on August 14, 2002, shows the area three years before the ice shelf broke free. In this image, melt ponds mark the surface of the shelf. The parallel configuration of the melt ponds suggests that the ice had been compressed like an accordion into ridges against the coastline. Beyond the ice shelf is ice known as fast ice—sea ice that holds fast to a coastline or ice shelf. Farther out to sea is loose sea ice, floating on the ocean’s surface in plates of varying size.

The bottom image shows the area on July 1, 2006, almost a year after the ice shelf broke free. In this image, what remains of the ice shelf is also littered with melt ponds, but without the parallel pond configuration. Beyond the shelf remnant is compressed sea ice, which makes a blue-and-white mosaic. At image left, snow or glaciers on Ellesmere Island appear smoothly white against the bare, brown ground.
