   It IS the cycle.

   Nope, it doesn’t work that way.
   The climate is determined by sun spots.
   This looks like the smoke from the exhaust pipe is going into the smokestack. Pretty lame and something a 1st grader might believe and draw. Look daddy, the car is killing us. Yes, son, since we don’t have a car we must demonize those that do.

   It is a cycle that is now moving faster than it use to. Too much CO2 already. Still more gigatons to go to give us a real Hot House Earth. Very little life will survive then, maybe not humankind.

   The people with the PhD’s and equipment say the sun isn’t the cause. Cool upper atmosphere, hotter lower says as much. Should be easy to understand unless you and the corporations that back you have another agenda.

   then explain to me why wher the ice caps have melted they found trees and plants you mean they have plants that grow under the snow and ice with out sunlight.where did all the plants and animals come from that made all that oil in the deserts of arabia. And the ice flow that carved the great lakes.

   Go and learn something about plate tectonics and the past configuration of continents – what is now Antarctica wasn’t always at the South Pole. Then you can come back and act like you have a brain.

   First, love the graphics…
   …………………..
   Second, these FOX viewers are getting their science from Bill O’Reilly, who said, “tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that.” And they believe him!
   …………………..
   Maybe you could put up a graphic to show the correlation between the full moon and the high tide. It might help them understand why Sandy coming ashore with a full moon was the worst possible scenario for the surge height.

   Here’s an address to a graphic that shows the relationship between tides and the movement of the moon.

    Seems like every time your caps lock gets stuck the absurdity factor increases.

    The best expanation for tides follows:
    Imagine a baton being twirled. it revolves around the center of gravity.
    Imagine a very large baton with the moon on one end and the Earth on the other.
    The Earth os much heavier so the center of gravity is about 1800 miles beneath the Earth’s surface.
    The Moon’s gravity pulls water toward it on one side, and the slinging effect produces the water bulge on the other side.

    ^ More scientific mumbo-jumbo. Tides flow because God wills them to flow.
