Blech... skinny bimbo. Not to mention... she is no longer an heiress. She got written out of her grand fathers will due to all of her crap shaming their name.

And who hasn't seen her nude already? Her sex tapes 1 and 2 have been out for years now.

IT"S GLOBAL FREEZING!! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

SOMEONE CALL THE UN!

Global warming A new fear monger tool by the UN!


Dont be fooled.

Maybe Time can reprint their 1974 article on global cooling entited "Another Ice Age?" with fantastic observations like:


Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years.

Hmm, sounds an aweful lot like the current-day global warming crowd.

LMAO! Never fear. I'm sure they already have a back up plan in case the weather didn't cooperate.

You guys might want to actually read the article...




Record sea ice growth rates after a record low may sound surprising at first, but it is not completely unexpected. The more ice that survives the summer melt, the less open water there is for new ice to grow. When summertime ice extent hits a record low, on the other hand, large areas of open water provide room for the ice to grow once temperatures cool off enough. While summer warming of the upper ocean surface can cause wintertime sea ice regrowth to lag initially, as the fall season progresses and sunlight weakens, the rate of energy loss from the ocean increases. That heat loss coupled with a large area of open water creates ideal conditions for sea ice to form rapidly over large areas.

Basically the ice was growing at a rapid rate just because the warm season melted so much damn ice. Its not talking about the amount of ice, but the rate of freezing. The amount of ice is still probably in line with the global warming trend. After all global warming certainly exists, remember it is the CAUSE of it that people are debating.

Don't talk to me about Global Warming till I don't have to split wood anymore.
