NEWS: The real Republican face comes out of seclusion ‘It's just been a real hard time,’ ex-lawmaker says The Associated Press Updated: 10:11 p.m. MT Nov 17, 2006 URL: msnbc.msn.com WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, who has been in seclusion for weeks, attended a visitation Friday for his father, who died this week of complications from cancer. Foley checked himself into an Arizona facility Oct. 1 for what he said was treatment for alcoholism. “It’s just been a real hard time,” Foley told The Associated Press. Foley resigned from Congress on Sept. 29 after being confronted with sexually explicit computer messages he sent to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Soon afterward, his attorneys announced that Foley was gay, suffered from alcoholism and had been molested by a priest as a teenage altar boy in Florida. The Rev. Anthony Mercieca, who has retired to Malta, has admitted having inappropriate encounters with Foley, including massaging him in the nude and skinny-dipping together, but he denies having sex with Foley. Church officials are investigating whether Mercieca had inappropriate contact with others. On Friday, reporters and photographers were camped out on every corner surrounding the Quattlebaum-Holleman-Burse Funeral Home in West Palm Beach, as Foley’s friends and family milled about inside. Services for Edward Foley, who was 85 when he died Tuesday, were set for Saturday. Criminal probe Florida authorities said Thursday they had opened a criminal investigation into whether Foley broke any laws related to his lurid communications. Federal authorities are also investigating. Foley’s attorneys have said he never had inappropriate sexual contact with a minor. Meanwhile, a House ethics committee is looking into whether senior GOP officials hid what they knew about the computer messages. URL: msnbc.msn.com

Dummy. 1. Global warming causes climate CHANGE which includes changes in the ocean currents which can bring about ice ages in parts of the world when the currents no longer suck cold air away and replace it with warm air. 2. Global warming causes climate CHANGE which we can't even imagine or predict. If you like unpredictable and violent CHANGE then go burn more coal and wood and oil. 3. The hottest year: "Global average surface temperatures pushed 2005 into a virtual tie with 1998 as the hottest year on record.[1] For people living in the Northern Hemisphere—most of the world's population—2005 was the hottest year on record since 1880, the earliest year for which reliable instrumental records were available worldwide.... Nineteen of the hottest 20 years on record have occurred since 1980." ucsusa.org 4. It doesn't matter what stupid believes, the weather will continue to become more VIOLENT. Weather affects how civilizations develop. It affects what crops we grow, what animals thrive, what diseases we get, how our psyches function and so much more. Temperate climates are good, extreme climates are bad. Predictable and stable climates are good, ever changing climates are bad. You can think whatever nonsense you like, it doesn't matter because climate change is here.

What a dumbsh!t you are... ...Human-induced warming is superimposed on natural processes to produce the observed climate. Because these natural fluctuations (which are always present) play a role in determining the precise magnitude and distribution of temperature in a particular year, record warmth in any one year is not in itself highly significant. What is noteworthy, however, is that global average temperatures experienced a net rise over the twentieth century, and the average rate of this rise has been increasing. When scientists attempt to reproduce these twentieth century trends in their climate models, they are only able to do so when including human-produced heat-trapping emissions in addition to natural causes.... ucsusa.org

Whoops. Or why it is called global, which includes oceans and land below the equator, and... Dutch bask in warmest autumn in three centuries Nov 19 5:47 PM US/Eastern The autumn of 2006 has been the warmest in the Netherlands for over 300 years, 12.5 percent hotter than the previous year which was already a record, meteorologists said. "Beating the record by more than one degree centigrade, that is exceptional," the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute said in a statement. The average temperature for the months leading up to November 17 was up to 13.5 degrees (56 degrees F), as compared to 12 degrees last year, which was already the hottest autumn on record. The average over the last three centuries for this period of the year has been 9.9 degrees. At least three factors are responsible for the increased temperatures, the Institute said: global warming, winds from the south that have blown over the Netherlands more than in most years, and a slower cooling down after an exceptionally hot summer, especially in July.
