But Global Warming is just a theory.[;)]

I thought it was a confirmed observation. What is a bit theoretical is to what extent some of it is part of some "normal" cycle...like the normal cycle that cataclysmically alters the circulation of the Gulf Stream when the planet goes in and out of "Ice Ages" and so on.

It's a joke. I'm making fun of a certain US politican who wants more data before he makes up his mind as to whether it really exists or not.

I know...but the only real controversy is whether the likely range of fairly catastrophic events is "normal" or not. If there is no human impact driving the changes, then things are a great deal worse than they seem.

An interesting topic!

Does anyone know of any real studies about the environmental effects of WWII? I've never heard about such studies before, but of course that doesn't mean they haven't been done!

[Charbroiled]

There was a pretty good documentry about the testing of a A-Bomb on Bikini Island and the long term impact on the islands ecosystem.

I'm glad I won't be around when the magnetic poles reverse. 50-100 years of the worst weather and climate changes imaginable![:D]

lol, I found myself thinking about valdez after I had a tanker with 18k worth of oil sink off thursday island. Since then I've lost full tankers at palembang, balikpapan, tarakan, and that base on the north side of borneo.

Kinda doubt if there were volunteers running around cleaning up oil, and soaping down wildlife back in january 1942.

Actually the oil companies wanted to pipeline the oil from Alaska to the Alberta/Montana border than pipe it from there to other location in USA.

Tankers were much smaller back then. Not the big boys we see nowadays.

Ships sink all the time - something like ONE a week on average! (Don't know what they define as ships - probably Trawlers and up).

[donkuchi19]

Think of all of the fish that are now using those wrecks as artificial reefs now though. There may have been some short term damage, but they are now homes to the fishies.

that is a good point...not many super tankers that at least i think of back then. by the way..i did a paper one time on the effects of the magnetic pole flip flop...there is still a lot of debut whether it will be done quickly or over 100's of years or more. if it is quick..we should be ok, minus some of the obvious prob. if it is slow we are in a little trouble.

Hope they do. I work in a steel mill that makes a lot of the plate for those pipelines. [:D][:D]

I did have a deep sence of irony that W says there is no proof of climate change as 4 hurricaines in a row hit Jeb's Florida. I don't believe in coincidences. [or spell check, lol]

That was in 1970 any new oil will be shipped through existing system.
Even though there is a good case to make for global warming, recent Hurricane acitivity is not. Hurricane activity were much more frequent prior to 1990s there was a lull for 10 years.

LOL, was wondering when W's name was going to get linked to this thread, oil spilling into ocean......climate changes...... my kid missed a touchdown pass......I forgot to put sugar in my coffee this morning, clearly W is behind this. Lets not make this a political thread PLEASE!! election is over for most and im glad.

By the way some environmentalist were predicting that the caribou would disappear because of the pipeline instead they tripled in size.
