Paul,<br><br>Will you stop posting this crap for Christ's sake. You don't know what the f**k you are talking about. What "recent" prediction that is viable would make such a broad predication about 2012. NONE.<br>
<br>If beliefs should be totally based on evidence, then why not criticize those who believe in Jesus Christ? Because the evidence for global warming is so much more plausible than the evidence that Christ has risen from the grave that it isn't funny.<br>
<br>If belief in Christ gives us reason for belief that we can vote on or belief that matters to general debate, so does pretty much anything else. Rational discussion is pointless.<br><br>Best, Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

"Over 4.5 Billion people could die from Global Warming-related
causes by 2012
<p><i>Hydrate hypothesis illuminates growing
climate change alarm</i></p>
<p>Compiled by John Stokes </p>
<p>A recent scientific theory called the "hydrate
hypothesis" says that historical global warming cycles have been
caused by a feedback loop, where melting permafrost methane
clathrates (also known as "hydrates") spur local global warming,
leading to further melting of clathrates and bacterial growth."<br>

Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelarates into a
greed-driven horrific catastrophe."</p>
<br>
Apparently, 4.5 billion of us could die from global warming before
2012, which is in about 6 and a half hours from now. Be warned!<br>
<br>
I hope that this is either a joke website, or just rampant alarmism,
because I, for one, don't want to die tonight.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
