The AP reports that "Antarctic Ice May Vanish in 7,000 Years" Now scientists are trying to predict the climate 7000 years into the future, when they cannot even get this week's weather forecast right.

Guess what, the Earth will probably vanish in as little as 5 Billion years when our sun goes nova and swallows the planet. Oh no, what do we do? Ban SUVs?

Has anyone else noticed that environmental alarmists are riding both sides of the equation? On one hand they predict global warming and cataclysmic events if we continue to burn fossil fuels at the current rate. On the other hand, they predict widespread shortages of fossil fuels in the near future. If the latter is correct, am I not just hurrying the process by driving my SUV? Am I not just ensuring that we are no longer able to burn fossil fuels in the future and thus preventing global warming?

I think it's all a matter of perspective. Besides, the largest consumer of carbon dioxide (and maker of oxygen) is not trees, it's plant plankton. Who destroys all of this preciousss, life giving plant plankton? Whales. I say, we slaughter all the whales to prevent them from eating the plant plankton. After all, it is probably just a big whale plot to flood our coastal cities like New York. The whales have had their eye on our coastal real estate for years, which explains why they are always heaving themselves onto our beaches.

How's that for conspiracy theories?
