And lives in Texas :-) MG it won't be the sea level rise you will have to worry about it will be lack of fresh water MG if I was you I'd buy shares in the ammo manufactures as your going to need a truck load of ammo as Martin says your gona have to kill a hell of a lot of people |

Fresh water? Heh. Private well or two... Plus 2 major rivers (and a heck of a lot of lakes and creeks) in the immediate area. And 'stills' have a lot more uses than just makin' moonshine. Grow a lot of my own food too. Truck load of ammo? <evil grin> |

Truck load of ammo? <evil grin>DHS already bought up every last round ... Not *all* the ammo... <evil grin> Rough guess... I would say that there is likely, in private hands, at least 100 million rounds of ammo just in this *county* (and there are 253 *other* counties in Texas). Besides, I can make ammo.. not that hard. Even can (and have) cast the bullets. And I am far from the only one around here that can. |

That's it Now way your Mad completely I say ... Texas is off my places ta Visit ...... Nothing wrong with Having the equipment to make the ammo I just wouldn't keep to many made . And Licenced to own Guns Raw materials to make and store is one thing ...having them already made dangerous . When I say having the ammo made I'm talking more than 2 dozen or so up to 100's |

The private civilians of Texas are better armed than the military of many nations. 'Off your places to visit'? Likely a wise choice. |

We can't buy bullet proof vests here . can you buy them without a licence or other crap ? Then maybe I'll put Texas back on my Bucket list |

This is what MIT says about Global warming now What are the implications of the 478-ppm measurement to human life? The link to the page called "400 ppm CO2? Add Other GHGs, and It’s Equivalent to478 ppm " http://oceans.mit.edu/news/featured-stories/5-questions-mits-ron-prinn-400-ppm-threshold |

There are many cities that will be flooded in the future. London is already at high risk. The Netherlands? Louisiana US? Manhattan New York? Instead of cars in the streets there will be Vaporettos instead. Forget subways. |

The Netherlands lie below the sea level, dams are built to stop the water, so in case of a flood, they will be first to have a go here in Europe. The very name Netherlands tells us what Holland is. I have travelled across a dam there once. It looked like this at the time. But the height is only 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) above sea-level! Well it could be fixed! |

I don't know where Hansen was talking about in 1986 with his '12 days of >= 100F' temperatures by 'the middle of the next century'... But that sounds like a normal summer around here... 6 years BEFORE he said this, we had a heat wave down here in the Dallas Texas area. Summer of 1980. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/dallas/headlines/20100806-Dallas-Fort-Worth-heat-wave-of-1868.ece 69 days that summer of high temperatures > 100F... 42 of them in a ROW (June 23rd to Aug. 3rd). Oh, and the relative humidity around here during the summer is usually around 70% to 75%. That is... HOT. I still can't believe you had the stones to criticize our use of air conditioning in the other thread. It gets hot around here, with the usual humidity, people start DYING (especially the elderly and the very young) without it. Now then, I am not denying Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC) or even Greenhouse-gas induced ACC (GHG-ACC). But one must set priorities for energy use, and around here A.C. tends to be rather high on the list of priorities. Or... do you want people to start dropping dead? |

Or... do you want people to start dropping dead? He does as that will reduce CO2 released. |

Or... do you want people to start dropping dead? Major IIRC you have long advocated reducing the global population. |

Or... do you want people to start dropping dead? Yes, I have... But as Clyde says it is not really feasible. You are not going to get agreement from the people to 'do themselves in'. Furthermore, as Clyde says, perhaps it would be a better use of various resources to quit trying to stop ACC and instead start working on adapting to it. |

It gets hot around here, with the usual humidity, people start DYING (especially the elderly and the very young) without it. Isn't it just an artificial way to keep people alive who would have naturally died in early times before it was available and still do in countries where air conditioning isn't a common item. Therefore, yes I do, critisise the excessive use of air conditioning in the US. |

Please instead criticize the dolts in NYC who insist on a dress code in a glass tower in a desert of a dark suit and tie because that is the way it is done in NYC. Please also criticize the efficiency experts who have concluded that maximum profit comes at a temperature of 72 F for human workers.I still can't believe you had the stones to criticize our use of air conditioning in the other thread. It gets hot around here, with the usual humidity, people start DYING (especially the elderly and the very young) without it. While you are at it also criticize the obesity epidemic. |

It gets hot around here, with the usual humidity, people start DYING (especially the elderly and the very young) without it. Then, if you are going to criticize that, then kindly start criticizing other things such as medical/health care... Oh, and agriculture... After all, according to you we can't go on keeping people alive through artificial, technological means, now can we? |
