- nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -9/+47Hey, in some cultures they eat insects . . . global warming might just end hunger around the world.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34In order to better prepare for the new threat to free society I suggest we all watch Starship Troopers.
"The only good bug is a dead bug!" - cerilia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31I hate mosquitoes.
- MusicalGenius, on 10/12/2007, -14/+32Most people don't understand that global warming isn't the end of the world and here is why.
The earth goes through a cycle up and down of warming to ice age to warming to ice age..
^^^^^ the bottom is ice age the top is warming ^ ... right now we are closing up to the top. Getting up to the top is natural. What most people are REALLY worried about who actually understand this is though this is natural, we are actually getting to the peak just a little faster than normal. That is what scares people. It really shouldn't. We can do many things to slow it back to normal, though the U.S. government isn't helping this AT ALL. Even if we don't get much done, we have the technology to bear what would have come anyway. Global warming is not a volcano everywhere we are all going to die concept. It's a renewal of the Earth just as forest fires are often needed for the land. Global warming is going to come no matter what we do. If it's coming sooner than normal we shouldn't try to stop what is naturally needed we should try to adjust ourselves to it. If we stopped every forest fire, we would be killing our ecosystem. We need this to come. People who cry about it the most are usually the most uneducated on the subject. Yes I will get sunk, and I don't mind that and understand cause this is long. What I'm hoping is that it will still get read and some people who didn't know the almost completely unpublished truth about this can actually see something educative. - TransmitThis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16more insects will give rise to more birds,
more birds will cool the earth because of the shade from there wings
and the flapping... - greenamp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18*****.
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13better go invest in some OFF! stock...
- ShakeWell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12ah... in its original form
- withincontext, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17Don't we have this same problem with uneducated Republicans in the South? They breed like insects, as well.

(human effect on climate + natural climate variation) > (natural climate variation) - ReverendRodger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12The unusually warm winter last year created some problems down here in Alabama. Namely that yellow jackets didn't really die off like they should have, so we ended up with some massive yellow jacket nests.
Here's an article for reference (be sure to look at the picture on the right side):
http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060717/NEWS02/607170317/1009 - zeeeej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
- chrismcelligott, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Great more bloody flies, just what an Aussie summer needs.
- VanceXT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8MmMMmmm, emotional health points.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Unless you are an exterminator. Job boom!
- withincontext, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Sure, let's make it a ***** for our kids to live in once we're gone. Entitlement FTW.
- withincontext, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Global warming can cause record lows in the winter, you *****. Go educate yourself, preferrably on the cause of the last Little Ice Age in Europe. Basically, decrease the salination of the ocean by melting fresh water ice caps and you stop the Transatlantic Belt from bringing warm water up the coast to Europe. In turn, the atmosphere cools and the freezes.
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Global warming does just mean that the average temperature will be higher. It doesn't mean that you can't set record lows. And, it is perfectly reasonable to have more extreme variations in the weather. Your argument show a lack of understanding along the lines of people who think evolution means man evolved from chimpanzees.
Man has far more power over the earth than you suggest. Do you really think man will just give up and die? Human history has been a constant struggle against nature. Man will go down fighting, if he goes down at all.
Bottomline, climate is a system that we do not understand, yet. We don't know why temperature can vary significantly over a short period of time. But, you admit man as some impact. The question is how much and can man do anything to stop or reverse it? I subscribe to the don't just give up philosophy. You seem to be the opposite. - XZanatos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@MusicalGenius
Cycle my sunburned ass. Just take a look at the CO2 from all the past iceage-hotage cycles going back 600,000 years and you will see the now is COMPLETELY different. The CO2 concentrations are more than 100 ppm higher than they have been in over 600,000 years and still growing. - Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10News like this just bugs me.
..what? I'm just chitin around. - nesibus, on 10/12/2007, -12/+17of course.. all the things that we lose cause of global warming...we gain more of whats annoying.
- azzkicar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5At this rate by 2050 we will all eat mosquito eggs and cockroaches for protein source. Hey, some cultures are already doing it. Better get a head start. Mosquito egg omelets anyone? Yum!
- wozley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6There are enough roaches in the world today. Gazillion too many.
- Natfly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So you say its the warm winter?
"But experts haven't determined exactly what's behind the surprisingly large nests." - Llan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"typical Eco-Nazi response, you insult first then try to say go educate yourself.
Why did the Ice Caps melt to cause the little Ice age? Also since the ice caps will melt because of this global warming cycle does that not mean that the same thing will happen again and the temperature will again moderate, just like it did then?"
The links have been posted hundreds of times on each and every global warming thread. If you still are unable to go and read them, what shall we do? Come to your house and read them out loud for you?
Some people just don't want to learn. - William01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes Smoov, leftists and scientists are colluding in a huge conspiracy against you, oh-righteous-one of the mobile abode. Now go under the house and fill up that right front tire in case you have to make a quick get-away.
P.S. They're sending your wife satanic messages through the satellite dish so you might wanna cover it with foil between Wrestlemanias. - krewemaynard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE eventually.
- ThrasherC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Holy crap! That's a bunch of yellow jackets! If only I knew how to make them do that to my ex-girlfriend's car.
- ReverendRodger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Natfly
If I remember correctly they figured that the large nests were caused by the warm winter. The insects didn't die off like they should and instead of small nests with one queen you ended up with monster nests with multiple queens. - HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10Insects are at the bottom of the food chain.
If food at the bottom of the chain is plentiful, the result is that everything else is better fed and better off.
Someone please let me know when we'll be going into a global cooling cycle that kills all the food. That's when I'll get my panties in a bunch. I won't be an idiot about it and blame any one nation's president though. - leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Mosquito outbreaks well into autumn; this sucks here.
- rezonq3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That joke never gets old. :D
- repins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5sorry to break it to you, but it's not just Republicans...but ignorant Politicians general that seem to breeding like flies.
- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"In the Tibetan philosophy, Sylvia Plath sense of the word, we're all dying. But you're not dying the way Chloe is dying."
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did you mean: beetles? Half of the Beatles are dead already. I don't think there are any more.
- greymaxcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3no big ... I use Windows, I'm use ta bugs,,,
- vikingcoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You're referring to Monckton's article. There's only one small problem with it. He doesn't know what he's writing about.

"Sunspot activity is peaking right now"
Sunspot activity is currently at the bottom of its 11 year cycle.
http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/images/ssn_predict_l.gif - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3just one more reason i am never moving back to mississippi. compared to the south, the insect population in the west is nonexistent
- leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2More spiders, more geckos, more lizards. I have no problem with that aspect, its just all the damn mosquitoes.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9Maybe the increase in insects will ultimately cause you to be able to use "their" correctly instead of "there."
(due to the increase in spelling bees) - ThrasherC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Here's another one:

My god...they're everywhere! - vikingcoder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3There is a big difference between being able to "stop a volcano, tsunami, or hurricane" and pumping more GHGs (primarily CO2) into the atmosphere every year than all volcanic activity in the entire 20th century did.
Destabilization is a lot easier than stabilization. - fraggle35, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I wonder how much was spent researching the obvious.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm on the third floor of my building and a bunch of ants seem to like my closet......but not the one more conveniently on the bottom floor......
- bryclark21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We may not be able to stop global warming, but we are real good at killing bugs. Mmmm poison.
- grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1upstate NY in the summer, by the lake...
this is old news. - bryclark21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You retard, scientists cant even decide what a planet "is." Now I am ok with science with real science, but when you start talking about science where the rules change day by day, you'll have to pardon my skepticism. I am one of those people who doesn't just believe a scientist because he has phd written after his name.
By the way, predicting the future is way easier when it is 1+ years away so you can wave your hands and idiots will follow. - techweenie1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm a total wuss when it comes to Spiders, they freak the crap out of me...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2As long as there are more caterpillars. I really like them. All fuzzy 'n stuff.
