So unlike Will Rogers who said, "All I know is what I read in the papers!".

Re: Smoke one for the Wilkins Ice Shelf

Global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the
cooling effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists
have said.

The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel
Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the
summer.

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting
some to question climate change theory.

But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and
they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.

The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on
record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average
surface temperature has risen by 0.74C.

Sounds bigger if you call it 3°F :)

It would sound even bigger if you called it 50 F.

But it's only 1.35 F.

"Only" is relative. It doesn't sound like much, but it can be enough to
kill off entire species.

OK, good. Now, let's find the exact temp needed to kill off
all spiders, and work toward that.

(And "only" meant "incontrast to 3 F".)

You act like they don't do some pretty valuable things like keeping us from
being up to our shorthairs in bugs.

Spiders seem to prefer me to bugs, and while I have untold skillions
of them on my 1/2 acre, they haven't yet put a dent in the bug
population. Another liberal theory shot to pieces.

One GW theory says that warmer climate creates more mosquitoes that carry
malaria and could not otherwise exist in colder regions.

Go to central Alaska in the summer and see the swarms that are so thick they
create a gray cloud.

Well give all of them their walking papers and see what the bug situation
becomes.

It shouldn't count if the company gave me the phone to test a product,
and I don't even know the number...

Also, "yeah!" -- were the hell are those mosquito-eating spiders? I
want some!

Those spiders don't automatically eat mosquitoes, you have to train them.
Put a mosquito on their nose and tell to sit still until you command them to
"EAT"!
