7670. alistairconnor - 9/10/2008 4:39:41 PM Experts offer scaled-back sea level rise forecast
What's astonishing is that the media have got this backwards. The IPCC report predicted 18 to 59 centimeters by 2100. These people from the University of Colorado predict between 80 and 200 centimeters, i.e. roughly four times as much.
This study is the highest informed estimate ever published, and sets Con up to lose his bet. 7671. magoseph - 9/10/2008 4:41:27 PM I remember the Vespa, this one: 
I never did any fooling in France--now here, that's another story.
7672. thoughtful - 9/12/2008 4:49:13 PM AC we call them mopeds here and my cousin had one...was riding along when the front wheel got stuck in a grate on the side of the road and he went right over the top...suffered brain damage. Be sure she wears a brain bucket (helmet). 7673. goodwinejoe - 10/19/2008 3:13:53 AM Perhaps she would like one of these instead. No helmet necessary!

7674. alistairConnor - 10/20/2008 12:49:59 AM Well I'm sure she would Joe!
She just needs to find herself a rich daddy.
(But not just yet. She's only fifteen.) 7675. anomie - 10/20/2008 1:11:47 AM Those mopeds and electric bikes are great, but dangerous here. If I were king I'd mandate bike and scooter lanes (protected) be built along along all streets, roads, highways, thoroughfares, and bridges.
In the US you'd need at least a 150cc to keep up with traffic. Otherwise you're roadkill. 7676. thoughtful - 10/20/2008 2:56:26 PM Thanks Joe, very cute! 7677. concerned - 10/20/2008 7:26:43 PM Lorne Gunter: Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof
7678. goodwinejoe - 10/22/2008 4:47:58 AM Click on play upper left to hear Michael Oppenheimer
I think I will go with Michael Oppenheimer, a member of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change and professor at Princeton over Lorne Gunter right wing blogger. 7679. wonkers2 - 10/22/2008 5:15:04 AM Me, too! Are you by any chance a plumber? 7680. concerned - 10/23/2008 7:17:46 AM Lorne Gunter: Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof
Ooops!!!!!
There goes the justification for the existence of all the global warming chicken little nazi bastards! 7681. wonkers2 - 10/23/2008 5:45:39 PM Digital TV is coming soon! 7682. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/23/2008 5:56:06 PM Good laugh! 7683. jexster - 10/25/2008 4:22:12 AM In First Policy Speech, Piglin Blasts French Fruit Fly Research
Concerned must be the sorry sack of Moose Shit's science adviser 7684. wabbit - 11/5/2008 3:08:28 AM While the election rolls on, one decision has been made: Over the objections of the nation’s television broadcasters and other groups, Federal regulators on Tuesday set aside a disputed slice of radio spectrum for public use, hoping it will lead to low-cost, high-speed Internet access and new wireless devices.
The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 to approve the public use of the unlicensed frequencies, known as white spaces.
A coalition of powerful groups, including broadcasters, Broadway theater producers and sports franchises, hoped to derail or delay the decision. They have argued that their own transmissions — whether of television signals or from wireless microphones used in live music performances — could face interference from new devices that use the white spaces…
…In a blog post, Larry Page, Google’s co-founder and president of products, said he believed engineers and entrepreneurs would be quick to build devices to take advantage of the white spaces.
“We think that this spectrum will help put better and faster Internet connections in the hands of the public,” he wrote.
But the phone companies and cable companies will find a way to charge us more for bandwidth anyway.7685. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/5/2008 3:17:55 AM This planet! 7686. wabbit - 11/5/2008 4:04:00 AM LOL! 7687. jexster - 11/9/2008 3:23:43 AM CA TGV

 7688. jexster - 11/14/2008 5:38:35 PM More proof recently that Concerned is right and AC wrong about global warming. Thanks to fossil fuel related brown clouds the earth is actually cooler than it might otherwise be
So fill er up with some of that 60 bbl oil and enjoy life again 7689. jexster - 11/15/2008 1:21:15 AM Is this some kind of sick joke?
