Can you imagine?
With the weather finally warming, I look back over the last couple of weeks and wonder if you can imagine how cold it would have been without global warming?
More big businesses needed
This concerns Brainerd being a tourist trap. Brainerd needs more high-paying jobs or entry level jobs for people who have been out of work for a long time with a better salary than the minimum wage. Brainerd needs to be a big business town. The only big business we have is the paper mill. I want to see Brainerd like the Twin Cities and Duluth with big businesses.

Add comment!!CLIMATE CHANGE!! That the
!!CLIMATE CHANGE!! That's the new phrase. Al Gore had it right. He talked about the storms the south just went through. He was just too caught up on the phrase "global warming". Swim little polar bear, swim.... b(o_o)d
you mean we never had tornados like this in the earths history?
do you know that we havent?
Were you here with the dinosaurs or for that matter any time before man?
Climate change has been happening way before God got that lil twinkle in his eye and spawned man

Global warming
Why is it some just don't get the global warming thing? Man has created most of it with the industry polluting the air, and so on. It's a proven fact the temperature of the earth is warming up. Get over it.
sure btlebb59, how about these facts
During the cretaceous period the sea levels rose all over the world resulting in the submerging of at least one third of the earth’s land area. Why there was so much water can be attributed to three possible reasons.
There were no frozen poles during the cretaceous (or jurassic), this reason alone meant that water levels were generally higher during the Mesozoic era.
In general because of the higher temperatures that existed during this time a thermal expansion of the ocean waters meant a greater volume for the same mass of water. If we look at the temperatures on the ocean bed today they are close to 3-4 degrees centigrade whereas during the cretaceous they would have been as high as 15 degrees centigrade which demonstrates a real difference in overal temperatures.
Question, did the dinosaurs drive suburbans and use coal for heating?
its the earth doing what she does
There is no question the climate has been changing, it has been changing since the earth was made. Only a fool can not admit that.
There is no question man has made an impact on the earth, only a fool would say we havent.
However, the cycles of the earth, including this warm up cycle, are just that, natural cycles. Only a fool will not admit to this
i_disagree....
you sure state a lot of facts that can't be proven. Were you there? Maybe because most of your comments are so far out it's pathetic.
"The only big business we have is the paper mill."
Wow, you got to get out of NE Brainerd more!!
Drunk Boy?????
I really don't drink, and I can't prove anything more than the scientists have already proven. And, I don't need to prove anything to you.
