Davey Boy 2.0 Posted June 7, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 WASHINGTON, June 6 — A panel of top American scientists declared today that global warming was a real problem and was getting worse, a conclusion that may lead President Bush to change his stand on the issue as he heads next week to Europe, where the United States is seen as a major source of the air pollution held responsible for climate change.Will it make a difference?

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted June 8, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 What does raping monkeys have to do with Global Warming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Jeepers man, it has everything to do with it. Arent you paying attention? There was a quick cure if, when the winner was not around, the loser got a glimpse of a sexually receptive female monkey. His testosterone level promptly rose. It surged even though he had no chance of having sex because he was in a cage looking out at an unobtainable female - the closes scientific approximation of a guy looking at a stripper. (John Tierney, The New York Times, November 9, 1998). This ether is getting to me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 "He had the craziest gang in the West. LSD-25 was legal in those days, and Kesey's people were seriously whooping it up. It was a whole new world. "Do it now" was the motto, and anything not naked was wrong. The best minds of our generation somehow converged on La Honda, and Ken Kesey had room for them all. His hillside ranch in the canyon became the world capital of madness. There were no rules, fear was unknown, and sleep was out of the question.

Booche Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 but what about the looming energy crisis? I think Bush HAS to increase carbon dioxide emissions from power plants....... Global warming and other so-called greenhouse gases are directly related to human activity: methane, ozone, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons. And the cold June we are experiencing now? By 2100, temperatures are expected to increase between 2.5 degrees and 10.4 degrees above those of 1990. Which is great for us, we can got to Grums or to the Come Together Festival and not have to worry if it will be cold. Our children and great grandchildren will be thanking us.....
