Whoopty-shit.Being the janitor doesn't count.Sucksassandballs, I went to college.
I]It was a major university.
Uh huh. Given the fact that you're completely full of shit, I feel comfortable in flushing your opinions down the toilets you cleaned.All the guys named "Dave" were smarter than you, even the ones who were a little dented.
What's race got to do with anything, retard?So DDD. Tell us why you like to keep proving the gene pool of the white race has gone completely to shit.[/I]
Roxy says you can't have indoor plumbing. But that's okay, since you'll have to burn your own poop for heat.THAT'S the financial advice I was seeking Daveman.. Any idea of how to put together a representative YURT portfolio??
Yurts R Us | Gadling.com
Say it. Go ahead and say it. I know you can. "I want a yurt!" Yes! Say it again: "I want a yurt!"
But if Roxy gets his way, you won't want one, but it's the only place you'll be able to live -- except for caves.
Roxy is desperate to destroy civilization. Well, for everyone else, that is. He wants to continue enjoying modern amenities.
They DO look fine on the front lawn.... Well that's it then --- I'm all in on yurts..
What's race got to do with anything, retard?
Oh, yeah -- you're intellectually bankrupt.

DaveDDD, do you deny you, sucksassandballs, Fatass, bigretardedqueenofcalinkey, and any of the other deniers at USMB are WHITE MALES?
Don't you think an accurate recount of denier-background is you are TRASH?
Are you the piece of trash, who wants to pretend he isn't a RACIST?
Aren't you the same piece of trash, who had to be corrected, about RACIALISM?
Do you think I just write about "DaveDDD," without knowing how you and the other shitbag white boys you surf with are all really, fucking stupid?

Rasmussen: October 2011, not out-dated, if you read fucktards, named Michael Barone
Gallup: March 11, 2010, getting old
Tehrantimes: Current 2012 Washington Post-Stanford poll
Scitech: Same poll
Huffingtonpost: Same poll
You sure are a dumbshit, sucksassandballs. You posted the same poll, three times.
What is interesting is how Rasmussen I believe used warming and climate change, interchangeably, which indicates incompetence, and then if you read his idiot writer, Barone, you realize Rasmussen is for shit-eaters.
The Washington Post and Stanford University found stupid Americans, polled them, and I write flames, at other stupid Americans, and I should think something is proved?
Hey! Post and Snodfart! If you want some more STUPID AMERICANS, we gottum, at USMB. Poll the bitches; take your pick.
But they still cant post up one single link that displays in any substantive way that all their "consensus science" is relevant in the real world. I put that challenge to the other crock ranter of this forum, Rolling Thunder back in October of last year. What do I get back from these two? Zero links and lots of hystrical mental case obscene rants.
Hey, sucksassandballs!
You pasted up three different links, to the SAME POLL.
You don't have an IQ above two. So why not just post the same shit TWO times, shitty-idiot?

You know you are right s0n...........so I figured I'd go ahead and post up something more recent anyway..................
So.........as I frequently point out in this forum.......for all the thousands of science graphs and links posted up by the alarmist k00ks in the ENVIRONMENT forum, and for all the daily bomb throwing what has happened since 2007 in terms of the public's concern about global warming????
IT'S FALLEN CLEAR OFF THE LIST!!!!!!

The P*T extinction was rapid, probably taking place in less than a million years. Although it was much more severe in the ocean, it affected terrestrial ecosystems too. A prolific swamp flora in the Southern Hemisphere had been producing enough organic debris to form coals in Australia, but the coal beds stop abruptly at the P-T boundary. No coal was laid down anywhere in the world for at least 6 m.y. afterward. A large change in carbon isotopes occurred across the P*T boundary, which signifies an important and global drop in photosynthesis that lasted a long time.
There is some evidence for an impact at the P*T boundary. The continental collisions that formed Pangea in the Permian would account for a major drop in diversity but not for a sudden, enormous mass extinction. Perhaps most important of all, the Permian extinction coincides with the largest known volcanic eruption in Earth history.
In addition to plate tectonics, the Earth also has plume tectonics. Occasionally, an event at the boundary between the Earth's core and mantle sets a giant pulse of heat rising toward the surface as a plume. As it approaches the surface, the plume melts the crust to develop a flat head of basalt magma that can be 1000 km across and 100 km thick. Penetrating the crust, the plume generates enormous volcanic eruptions that pour hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers of basalt‹flood basalts‹out over the surface. If a plume erupts through a continent, it blasts material into the atmosphere as well. After the head of the plume has erupted, the much narrower tail will continue to erupt for 100 m.y. or more, but now its effects are more local, affecting only 100 km or so of terrain as it forms a long-lasting hot spot of volcanic activity.
Plume events are rare: there have been only eight enormous plume eruptions in the last 250 m.y. The most recent is the Yellowstone plume: at about 17 Ma it burned through the crust to form enormous lava fields that are now known as the Columbia Plateau basalts of Oregon and Washington, best seen in the Columbia River gorge. North America drifted westward over this "hot spot," which continued to erupt to form the volcanic rocks of the Snake River plain in Idaho (Valley of the Moon and so on), and it now sits under Yellowstone National Park. The hot spot is in a quiet period now, with geyser activity rather than active eruption, but it produced enormous volcanic exposions about 500,000 years ago that blasted ash over most of the mountain states and into Canada.
A massive plume eruption took place exactly at the P*T boundary. A new plume burned through the crust in what is now western Siberia to form the "Siberian Traps," gigantic flood basalts that cover 2.5 million sq km in area and are perhaps 3 million cu km in volume. The eruptions coincided exactly with the P*T boundary, at 253 Ma, and lasted at full intensity for only about a million years‹the largest known, most intense eruptions in the history of the Earth. They lie across the P*T boundary and were formed in what was obviously a major event in Earth history.
But as their methods for dating the disappearance of species has improved, estimates of its duration have shrunk from millions of years to between 8,000 and 100,000 years. That's a blink of the eye in geological terms.
"I think paleontologists are now coming full circle and leading the way, saying that the extinction was extremely abrupt," Becker notes. "Life vanished quickly on the scale of geologic time, and it takes something catastrophic to do that."
Such evidence is merely circumstantial -- it doesn't actually prove anything. Becker's evidence, however, is more direct and persuasive:
Deep inside Permian-Triassic rocks, Becker's team found soccer ball-shaped molecules called "fullerenes" (or "buckyballs") with traces of helium and argon gas trapped inside. The fullerenes held an unusual number of 3He and 36Ar atoms -- isotopes that are more common in space than on Earth. Something, like a comet or an asteroid, must have brought the fullerenes to our planet.
Becker's team had previously found such gas-bearing buckyballs in rock layers associated with two known impact events: the 65 million-year-old Cretaceous-Tertiary impact and the 1.8 billion-year-old Sudbury impact crater in Ontario, Canada. They also found fullerenes containing similar gases in some meteorites. Taken together, these clues make a compelling case that a space rock struck the Earth at the time of the Great Dying.
But was an asteroid the killer, or merely an accomplice?
Many scientists believe that life was already struggling when the putative space rock arrived. Our planet was in the throes of severe volcanism. In a region that is now called Siberia, 1.5 million cubic kilometers of lava flowed from an awesome fissure in the crust. (For comparison, Mt. St. Helens unleashed about one cubic kilometer of lava in 1980.) Such an eruption would have scorched vast expanses of land, clouded the atmosphere with dust, and released climate-altering greenhouse gases.
The detection of buckyballs by themselves is ambiguous. They can be made on Earth by forest fires. Analysis of samples from just above and below the boundary in Japan, China, and Hungary indicate that the buckyballs are concentrated there. More importantly, there is a sharp increase in the abundance of helium-3 at the boundary. The ratio of helium-3 to helium-4 is typical of helium trapped in carbonaceous meteorites, and much different from Earth rocks or atmosphere. The ratio of argon-40 to argon-36 is well below that measured in our atmosphere, and trends towards values typical of buckyballs in meteorites. Becker and colleagues conclude that the gases and their buckyball containers are extraterrestrial. A big impact spread them all over the world.
Pretty good UC Davis blog and some NASA:
----------------------
Well, that's nice to know. Some body from space almost certainly clobbered the Earth, at the end of the Permian period, to enhance destruction, which was underway.
All we are likely to do is surpass the PETM, since our GHG out-gassing is much more severe, while humans are busy with chainsaws and pollution, to completely thwart forests, of course, with the help of human-caused warming and derivative media, like beetles.
We will see volcanism, as Long Valley, Yellowstone, and other ripe magma chambers mature, while heavier seas press chambers, plates, and faults, to cause eruptions, which tend to occur, at relevant high tide periods.
Since the P/T happened, 251-253 m.y.a., with GHGs and volcanism, we will approach that level of extinction, but we will likely not surpass it, since we might just have some humans left, who can zap asteroids and comets, if one should stray, toward Earth.
But will humans be smart enough, to re-green the planet? The presence of fucky-ball heads, like CrosstardPunk suggests otherwise.
Some D-rat like black Obamney will neglect his battle order, get on TV, insulated by his cult, and then he will claim he will "fight," ask for money, but he won't have a majority in Congress, while he "fights" himself, like a typical attorney, taking people off, with other attorneys, on whatever side, in whatever courtrooms. I won't be giving $5 to this bozo.
Meanwhile, I don't see anybody claiming to have found irridium or shocked quartz, such as from the K/T extinction, 65 m.y.a., but if all we need to see is bucky balls, here's how they look:

PSRD Hot Idea: Impact at the end of the Permian
------------------
The Siberian traps eruptions happened, 251 m.y.a., concurrent with a suspected carboniferous asteroid impact. The Deccan traps eruptions happened, 65 m.y.a., concurrent with a known asteroid impact.
These major eruptions may have happened, opposite the area of impact. They squirted their basaltic lava, in a relatively short time, but they continued, for a million years or more, each.
We will eat shit. Humans will die. But if we don't get whacked, by an extraterrestrial object, all we will eat is eruptions, preceded by heavier seas and tides. So re-greening is a very, very good idea. Somebody tell Monsanto, we need more than blue corn.
But will black Obamney or white Obamney get'r'done? Crosstard sure won't.
Strange -- where'd the mad skills in Geology come from? Eh Gollum? Did you borrow them for the day?

Liberalism grants one expertise in any subject.
That's why the left looked to Barbra Streisand and Sean Penn for their views on geopolitics.
I think that the estimate of the effects of the Arctic release are too high, but, given what we have already seen from the clathrates, something to consider.
