While you've still got them. Burn even more oil in even less efficient
cars, and the atmospheric CO2 levels will go up even faster than they
are going up at the moment, the ice caps will slide off Greenland and
Antarctica, and you won't have a Florida at all, and the Californian
and Alaskan coasts coast will be a long way inland from where they are
now.

So you'd better extract the oil while you still can ... and not leave
it around for your grandchildren (who will face an increasing risk of
having to learn to breath water, if your children don't relocate
further inland quickly enough).

It's familiar right-wing thinking - they grab everything they can now,
because they are going to screw up the future so comprehenisvely that
none of their descendants are going to be around to take advanatge of
anything they might leave unexploited.

The creep quoted obviously doesn't believe in global warming, so feels
free to ignore it. By the time global warming gets bad enough that
even inland idiots like Jim Thompson can't ignore it, it's going to be
much more difficult - probably impossible, with a significant
proportion of global resources suddenly vanishing under the rising
seas - to do anything about it.

Brain dead in, Nijmegen
Perhaps this second flood will fix the major problem by reducing the
world population.



Bill is too stupid to realize that Phoenix is 1100 feet above sea
level, while Nijmegen is list at about 22 feet above sea level? My home
is abut 100 feet above sea level so if Bill gets his wish, he will be
dead, long before either of us. I wonder if he even remembers that
floating ice displaces the same amount of sea water as it will after it
melts?
