Ann: ' Most scientists do not contend global warming is a fact. It's a controversial subject in the scientific community, yet liberals continue to take Pelosi & Gore's hysterical position. koan: my son in law has a PHD in atmospheric chemistry and studies gloabal warming as a full time profession. He says most atmospheric scientists do believe global warming is real. But let us say it is still in doubt. Do we jsut ignore it? This could be the result. C2O releasing methane hydrates which are 23 times more of a greenhouse gas: The Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) extinction event, informally known as the Great Dying, was an extinction event that occurred 251.4 million years ago,[1] [2] forming the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods. It was the Earth's most severe extinction event, with up to 96 percent of all marine species[3] and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct; it is the only known mass extinction of insects.[4] Because so much biodiversity was lost, the recovery of life on earth took significantly longer than after other extinction events.[3] This event has been described as the "mother of all mass extinctions".[5] The pattern of extinction is still disputed [6], as different studies suggest one[1] to three[7] different pulses. There are several proposed mechanisms for the extinctions; the earlier peak was likely due to gradualistic environmental change, while the later was probably due to a catastrophic event. Possible mechanisms for the latter include large or multiple bolide impact events, increased volcanism, or sudden release of methane hydrates from the sea floor; gradual changes include sea-level change, anoxia, and increasing aridity.[8]

Koan is like the cartoon character that runs around with a little black cloud over his head saying-------"The Sky Is Falling" This is just like his guru Al Gore who calculates his carbon credits and continues to expand them as he flies the globe advocating others should change their ways------while sucking at the finances of America via the Democrat Congress. Edit: Obama is also a 'chicken little type charactter'-----saying we must change, we must change------what a bleak image these leftist Dems have of America. mj
