Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans as Antarctic Ice Melts
by bohm inthe collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in west antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported monday.. the finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable.
the rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that it will probably speed up so sharply as to become a crisis.. this is really happening, said thomas p. wagner, who runs nasas programs on polar ice and helped oversee some of the research.
theres nothing to stop it now.

I don't believe that a "vast majority" of scientists believe in global warming.
If you look at the proponents of this unproven and unprovable, collapsing theory, most of them are funded by organizations that would benefit from implementation of the "corrective measures" needed to "combat" it. You have to know who it is that is peddling these "facts".
I could go on and on, but here are just a few articles & videos.

Im sorry, but it is just a hoax with a sinister purpose.
There are so many real environmental threats: dangerous nuclear energy, GMO crops, Geoengineering (chem trails), exploding cancer rates...
Why doesn't any mainstream media focus on these issues?

I think you are VERY ideological on this point and have no intention of ever viewing the mountains of evidence against man made global warming.
I understand why you feel the way you do, because I too once believed all of these talking heads and their fudged data, but I'm sorry to say that it just isn't true, no matter how much this has become your new religion.

Evidence of life after death?
by little_Socrates inhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/life-after-death-largestever-study-provides-evidence-that-out-of-body-and-neardeath-experiences-may-actually-be-real-9780195.html.
"experts currently believe that the brain shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds of the heart stopping beating and that it is not possible to be aware of anything at all once that has happened.. but scientists in the new study heard said they heard compelling evidence that patients experienced real events for up to three minutes after this had happened and could recall them accurately once they had been resuscitated.".
how are people having "experinces" while there is no evidence of heart or brain activity?.

In the 70's it was "Global Cooling", In the 90's it was "Global Warming", now it's called "Climate Change". That just about covers anything.
The whole point to this "Climate Change" industry is to move everyone to support a global Carbon Tax, that will be assessed and administered by the world central bank, thereby paving the way to tax every living human, allowing for the creation of the one world currency.
That is all this is about.
The "Facts" used by climate change hysterics and proponents such as Al Gore (who stnads to benefit hugely from a carbon tax) have been debunked by actual climatologists. Al Gore and Kenneth Lay (of Enron Fame) created the carbon cap and trade market!!
This is simply a financial scam, nothing more.
The ice caps on Mars change too.
This is an effect pof the sun more than anything.
human carbon pollution is a scam and a racket.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

WOW.
I'm really disappointed readuing all of this, especially you Terry.
There is SO MUCH REALLY GOOD EVIDENCE OF A HIGH-LEVEL CONSPIRACY.
People need to do their homework and study more history!!! Don't just read one book and dust your hjands together satisfied that you have the truth!
Kennedy had signed executoive order 11110 - authorizing the treasury to issue debt free currency, the revival of Lincoln's greenbacks (yes the other assassinated president). He was working on a program to dissolve the CIA and NSA and break the intelligence community into "a thousand pieces". Who ran the Warren Commission? Allen Dulles...Who was Allen Dulles? The CIA director fired by JFK!!! The CIA & The FED are the same people!! Look into the Bush family and thir connections to Dulles & the Harrimans & the Bin Ladens. PLEASE.
I get really upset when people take NO TIME TO RESEARCH!!! Most people just buy the crap they are spoon feed by the controlled media. It's a joke!! Do some reading and understand that this was a Coup d'etat!! It FOREVER changed this republic. It killed the republic. And Harry Truman, who was an insider, tried to warn us all in his last address. Kennedy too spoke of the same conspiracy. Any one of you can find all of this on the internet, just look!!!
OSAWLD WAS A PATSY - He was there, but NOT THE ASSASSIN!!!
