the collapse of large parts of the ice sheet in west antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists reported monday.. the finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable.
the rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that it will probably speed up so sharply as to become a crisis.. this is really happening, said thomas p. wagner, who runs nasas programs on polar ice and helped oversee some of the research.
theres nothing to stop it now.
Hmmmmm The Girl next door have you actually looked up Prof. Carters credentials? The guy is not a climatologist, but a geologist / paleantologist and his views on climate change have no credibility within the scientific community.

Jesus position reminds of poor old Prince Charlie, waiting forever his dear old mum to kick the bucket so he can have some real influence. Jokehover might actually let Jesus do something in the next 900 years of his reign.
.....of course I haven't forgetton Jesus and Jokehover aren't real!

Do they teach Science Including evolution? Do they teach myths such as creation as science?
in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.
nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.
the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.
leaving the university with my degree!.
exams are finished and it's just a matter of days before i walk.. i was certainly stressed about doing this.
i'm older than my classmates and armageddon was sooooo close!
Well done Billy!!!
Did you end up in the Canadian oil sands or somewhere less hostile?
I thought I would share an article about the development of trichromatic colour vision and how a study of the differences in the genes responsible for production of the different opsin (light absorbing) proteins in old and new world monkeys found in the retina gives some insight into how colour may have evoled. I wonder if the Awake! will publish a synopsis of this work as part of it ambition to provide dubs with a university equivalent education?

nimrod and the tower of babel-is this history or biblical myth.
god confused their lauguges?.
sounds quite comical when you think about it.
James Brown, are you seriously telling me that you believe that?
Language has evolved as Homo sapiens has spread across the globe not the other way round. You really should stop gaining your world view from a book of ancient myths.
i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?
