TODAY IS DOOMSDAY . . .
« on: January 27, 2016, 03:44:09 PM »
 . . . according to Al Gore, who a decade ago predicted that we only had 10 years to save the planet.

The Doomsday Clock based on this Nobel Prize winner's prediction began on January 27, 2006 and finally ticked down to "0" today.

It's at the bottom of the right hand column . . . http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/

And here's the story of the Doomsday Clock's origin . . . http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2006/01/27/algore_we_have_ten_years_left_before_earth_cooks

Say goodbye . . .

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Hey, he said we have until today to reverse it and then we have no hope. Well, they say it's still going on, so there's nothing we can do to save the world now. 

Looks like it's time to do away with all the global warming crap holding back the economy!

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

So he apparently said we had ten years before we reach a "point of no return."

So I guess we can scrap all the cap-and-trade/Kyoto/carbon credit schemes. It won't help now.

Algore measures time in inverse dog years.  So he really meant 70 regular human-years.
