Welcome to the Cellar, vidacita.
I think it was last week they noticed the broken shelf had moved, and might become a shipping hazard.

Scientists agree that the Earth is warming. They are almost certainly right.

My point is that the earth has been warming for tens of thousands of years and that there is no need to panic.

And I was making a less obvious critique of the selective use of "evidence" proferred by the "sky is falling" crowd. If its too warm, its global warming. If its too cold, its global warming.

To pick up on HM's point, the earth used to be one continent. Now, its several continents. The earth used to be an ice cube. Now its not. We could shove a cork up every tailpipe, exhaust pipe, bovine butt and industrial smokestack on planet earth and the earth would still be getting warmer. Just like it has been for a long, long time.

Like they say, if you don't like the eco climate, just wait 50 thousand years.

eyep.
We get ice storms in SC, but not as thick.
This was just over a year ago, and the power was out for over a week.
Makes the argument to bury power/utility line.
