Miami Will Drown

In the July 28-August 30, 2007 issue of New Scientist magazine, NASA physicist James Hansen says that, due to global warming, the oceans will rise so high in the next 100 years that Miami, Florida will be one of the major cities that drowns: it will be underwater. The article contains a "before" photograph and a computer-generated "after" image of the state which reveal that by 2107, Florida will be a small "stub," compared to its land mass today.


Imagine longing for the balmy, halcyon days of Katrina.

No, but I know a guy in Prague who would probably claim to! ;-)

"I'm looking forward to Armageddon and looking forward to the cleansing of the Earth."

I'm not.

Sorry, wrong thread! (But still apropos, I think.)

OH...MY...GOD...

The Charleton Heston character's signature line in every single one of his sci-fi movies. (As Moses in the "10 Commandments" too! -- Which is kind of a sci-fi movie, now that I think about it.)

Looks like she subscribes to quite a few cell phone services. Should be pretty easy to get in touch!

LOL

What...are we afraid of revealing ourselves on Mac's blog now?

Anyway - yeah, the chick in the painting is hot - I'd do her...

I 'personally' can not wait for Armageddon to help rid the world of idiots...

Fondly,

It's not fear m'dear. Sheer laziness. I used to have a Blogger account that let me sign in as me but I never used it for anything else and it lapsed. (More sheer laziness.)

I'm totally sympathetic. Passwords drive me nuts.
