Ah!

You see cosmos cannot name any acid oceans, because there aren’t any.

You see folks, climate alarmist love to use catch phrases like ocean acidification.

Those who know your basic science know that pH above 8.0 is not acidic, it is mild on the alkaline side like baking soda as I described earlier.

If oceans were acidic, fish and other ocean life would be dieing in masses. They aren’t.

Let the arm flailing continue by the alarmists.
----------------------------------------

Regular,

You seem unable to understand that the very widely used phrase &quot;ocean acidification&quot; means &quot;the ocean is becoming less alkaline&quot;.

Perhaps you should devote your life to convincing the world to use &quot;becoming less alkaline&quot; instead of &quot;acidification&quot;?

You could start by contacting the people at these 2 links.

		<description>&quot;The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA)

Washington, DC - Congress is considering sweeping
legislation that will provide new benefits for many Americans.

The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans wholack any real skills or ambition.

&lt;b&gt;There you go BlueJay sounds like this was written by you and for you.&lt;/b&gt;

&#039;Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society,&#039; said California Senator Barbara Boxer.
&#039;We can no longer stand by and allow People of inability to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing.&#039;

In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack any job skills, making this agencythe single largest U.S. employer of Persons of Inability.

Private-sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement &#039;warehouse&#039; stores (65%). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons of Inability (63%).

Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million &#039;middle man&#039; positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.

Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given so as to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable
employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability into middle-management positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.

Finally, the AWNAA contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the Non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, &#039;Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?&#039;

&#039;As a Non-abled person, I can&#039;t be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them,&#039; said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Michigan, dueto her inability to remember rightey tightey, lefty loosey. &#039;This new law should be real good for people like me,&#039; Gertz added. With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Said Senator Dick Durban (D-IL): &#039;As a Senato with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our
duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy, with some sort of space to take up in
this great nation and a good salary for doing so.&quot;</description>

		<description>You got taught a valuable lesson there BJ.
Or, are you still too ignorant and full of pride to accept that too?

&quot;That you’re a punk?&quot;---BJ

Well, I guess that answers that, ha.
Oh well, maybe we can keep working on it awhile longer.</description>

Name those acid oceans cosmos…

Thank you for proving my point, Regular.

dumb
gullible
ignorant
misinformed
deep in denial
lacking credible scientific knowledge

The above = AGW deniers, and ocean acidification deniers.

Hey cosmos, how about the mud-filled coral reef that was found that wasn&#039;t supposed to be?

Quite a discovery eh?

Scientists didn&#039;t think such a thing existed until they discovered it.</description>

		<description>&quot; I called you out. YOU accepted.
And then you punked out.&quot;

Like a complete childish fool you called out a anonymous BLOGGER that got under your skin, to meet in a cold parking lot, ha!  What an idiot.
You got taught a valuable lesson there BJ.
Or, are you still too ignorant and full of pride to accept that too.
I would never bring it up again BJ if you and your fellow jackals wouldn&#039;t.  Tell misfit, or whatever, to quit being your mouth for you.
I have to admit BJ, &#039;misfit&#039; or whatever makes you look like a genius, I&#039;m surprised his computer will even accept commands from such a numskull.</description>

		<description>&quot;Got a question for you, are you a friend of BJ’s?
I would sure guess as much as you are even more a repulsive immature imbecile as he.
He was easy to lead down a path of his own choosing, leaving him standing in a parking lot in the cold wondering what the he11 happened.&quot;

   That&#039;s YOUR side bawks. 

   And it is pretty much exclusive to you and a few other nic switchers.

    What is it a MONTH since then?

    And here you are still calling me names and CLAIMING victory.

   

    The upshot for MOST bloggers?

     I called you out. YOU accepted. 

    And then you punked out.

    We can revisit it as many times as you would like.

   Oh? And any reader here knows.

   I didn&#039;t &quot;wonder what happened&quot;. I posted the same day that you did not show up. Just as I figured you would not.</description>

		<description>Hey misfit,
Got a question for you, are you a friend of BJ&#039;s?
I would sure guess as much as you are even more a repulsive immature imbecile as he.
He was easy to lead down a path of his own choosing, leaving him standing in a parking lot in the cold wondering what the he11 happened.
I imagine you are even more clueless.</description>

‘Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups’
A Little Gun History Lesson

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to
1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves,
were rounded up and exterminated.

———— ——— ———
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5
million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

———— ——— ——
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 194 5,
a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend
themselves were rounded up and exterminated

———— ——— ———
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

———— ——— ——-
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,
100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

———— ——— ———
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979,
300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

———— ——— ———
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977,
one million ‘educated’ people, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

———— ——— ——–
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.

———— ——— ———
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced
by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed
by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers
more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now
in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide,
assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up
44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up
300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them
in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too! While
figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed
robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the
past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey
is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults
of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain
how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and
expense was expended in successfully ridding Australia n society
of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts
above prove it.

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information. All news in this country is “coached”
by government thru influence-peddling to AVOID telling you things
you SHOULD know.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and,
yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

The purpose for guns other than food, is: (1) to protect your
property (2) to protect you and others from injury and (3) to
protect your common law unalienable rights. [These go FAR beyond
Constitutional Rights and are a gift from the creator.] The history
of government is one of usurpation of people into slavery. For anyone
who doesn’t believe this then go back and examine the Declaration of
Independence and understand that “the People” declared themselves
INDEPENDENT of government. [Never to be told again by government
that they are NOT to have the means to insure their freedom.] When
you have no weapon, your slavery is guaranteed by government it’s
just a matter of time.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late! When only
government has guns, they will force “law for government” [aka
statutory law&quot;] upon you –when ironically it’s really meant to
control them. With guns, the People declare the independence of
their separate lawfulness only common with people.

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind
him of this history lesson.

With Guns……. .. ….We Are ‘Citizens’.
Without Them…….. We Are ‘Subjects’.

When there was NO INCOME tax was when EVERYONE understood EVERYONE
had a right to a weapon ..coincidence?

Gun Owners and Tax Deniers defined the freest and most prosperous
time in the history of the world. Never forget this heritage.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they
knew most Americans were ARMED!

During WWII the Nazi’s decided not to invade Switzerland for each
Swiss common man was a trained sharp-shooter with a gun. Hitler
used the German word for “porcupine” to describe how his troops
would suffer.

Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor
had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 &amp; was Naval Attach to the
U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor &amp;
our Army had been deprived of funding &amp; was ill prepared to defend
the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the
Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his
reply was that he had lived in the U. S. &amp; knew that almost all
households had guns.

If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control
message to all your friends!

AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced<br />
by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed<br />
by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers<br />
more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now<br />
in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide,<br />
assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up<br />
44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!</p>
<p>In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up<br />
300 percent.  Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them<br />
in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!</p>
<p>It will never happen here?  I bet the Aussies said that too! While<br />
figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed<br />
robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the<br />
past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey<br />
is unarmed.</p>
<p>There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults<br />
of the ELDERLY.  Australian politicians are at a loss to explain<br />
how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and<br />
expense was expended in successfully ridding Australia n society<br />
of guns.  The Australian experience and the other historical facts<br />
above prove it.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians<br />
disseminating this information. All news in this country is &#8220;coached&#8221;<br />
by government thru influence-peddling to AVOID telling you things<br />
you SHOULD know.</p>
<p>Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and,<br />
yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.</p>
<p>The purpose for guns other than food, is: (1) to protect your<br />
property (2) to protect you and others from injury and (3) to<br />
protect your common law unalienable rights.  [These go FAR beyond<br />
Constitutional Rights and are a gift from the creator.] The history<br />
of government is one of usurpation of people into slavery. For anyone<br />
who doesn&#8217;t believe this then go back and examine the Declaration of<br />
Independence and understand that &#8220;the People&#8221; declared themselves<br />
INDEPENDENT of government. [Never to be told again by government<br />
that they are NOT to have the means to insure their freedom.] When<br />
you have no weapon, your slavery is guaranteed by government it&#8217;s<br />
just a matter of time.</p>
<p>Take note my fellow Americans, before it&#8217;s too late! When only<br />
government has guns, they will force &#8220;law for government&#8221; [aka<br />
statutory law"] upon you &#8211;when ironically it&#8217;s really meant to<br />
control them. With guns, the People declare the independence of<br />
their separate lawfulness only common with people.</p>
<p>The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind<br />
him of this history lesson.</p>
<p>With Guns&#8230;&#8230;. .. &#8230;.We Are &#8216;Citizens&#8217;.<br />
Without Them&#8230;&#8230;..  We Are &#8216;Subjects&#8217;.</p>
<p>When there was NO INCOME tax was when EVERYONE understood EVERYONE<br />
had a right to a weapon  ..coincidence?</p>
<p>Gun Owners and Tax Deniers defined the freest and most prosperous<br />
time in the history of the world. Never forget this heritage.</p>
<p>During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they<br />
knew most Americans were ARMED!</p>
<p>During WWII the Nazi&#8217;s decided not to invade Switzerland for each<br />
Swiss common man was a trained sharp-shooter with a gun. Hitler<br />
used the German word for &#8220;porcupine&#8221; to describe how his troops<br />
would suffer.</p>
<p>Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor<br />
had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 &amp; was Naval Attach  to the<br />
U. S. 1925-28.  Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor &amp;<br />
our Army had been deprived of funding &amp; was ill prepared to defend<br />
the country.</p>
<p>It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the<br />
Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his<br />
reply was that he had lived in the U. S. &amp; knew that almost all<br />
households had guns.</p>
<p>If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control<br />
message to all your friends!</p>
<p>AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!</p>

		<description>In Kansas, hills were formed that were later buried or worn away by wind and water. Seas covered parts of the state, then disappeared. Giant sheets of ice called glaciers moved into northeast Kansas, then melted. Rivers changed their courses. The climate changed -- sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes wet, sometimes dry. These changes are what made Kansas look the way it does today. 

Nasty weather they had back in the day...</description>
