Yo, person,

I just wanted you to know that, as you put it - your crap spelling - led to some really great humor/humour, however you spell it Down Under! And, you wern't even trying to be a comedian!

I thought about stand up but the episode of Seinfeld where that woman hisses and boos him during a show seems too likely to happen, not just by one person but by almost everyone.

Gore’s global-warming testimony expected to draw big crowds
By Kelly McCormack
March 19, 2007

When former Vice President Al Gore testifies on Capitol Hill Wednesday about the dangers of global warming, committees in both chambers expect huge turnouts.

Not only do committees plan to open overflow rooms to hold staffers and members of the press, the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee will re-locate to a larger room.

“We’re seeing extremely strong interest in all quarters,” an EPW staffer said. The EPW hearing will be held at 2 p.m. in Dirksen 106, “a pretty large, theater-style room,” a second Senate aide said. “It’s one of the biggest we have. … I assume there will be some protesters there.”

The EPW staffer said the hearing “could run as long as three hours.” Gore, who recently won an Oscar for his documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth,” is slated to speak for 30 minutes before taking questions.

No one is testifying on the Republican side, the Senate committee aide said. GOP staff did not return calls for comment by press time.

Things aren’t looking any less claustrophobic in the lower chamber, where Bjorn Lomborg, a former director of the Environmental Assessment Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, is slated to testify for Republicans.

“It’s going to be a nightmare,” said a House aide who is handling media requests for the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Energy and Air Quality panel and the House Science and Technology Committee Energy and Environment subcommittee joint hearing. It is set for 9:30 a.m. in Room 2123 of the Rayburn Office Building.

I know. These endless circular debates are not my cup of tea. I just posted that to keep those who indulge informed.

Powerful new tool to track carbon dioxide by source
Article here.

Scientists from NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) announced today a new tool to monitor changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by region and source. The tool, called CarbonTracker, will enable its users to evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts to reduce or store carbon emissions.

What valis said. Or rat-arsed. Or bladdered. Or hammered. Or leathered. Or, err ... stuff that's not appropriate & it's probably easier just to say the list is endless.

my personal fave has always been 'sideways'. Dunno why, but the 'man, I got way sideways last night and ended up naked behind a 7-11 in a strange city with a sucking chest wound and a barbie doll' has always packed that extra ooomph needed to get the point across.
