Construction of Ark 2.0 starts today.

Yeah and it's starting with that big bag of hot air at Mother Jones. The new ark will have to hold 3 of every animal. Can't leave out the trans-gender.

Oh excellent, a dissenting voice of reason. Great! Please, toby's ass, quash this sky-is-falling queer San Franciscan witch-science with the cold light of hard fact. We can't allow the homosexual and transgender agendas to dictate our national discourse or policy, right? Right! GLOBAL WARMING IS FAKE BECAUSE IT'S GAY! I look forward to your point-by-point evisceration of Mother Jones' obviously browneyed argument. TOBY'S ASS POWER GO! Your fan, Vlad.

The bummer is that, unlike other crises in history that we've overcome with ingenuity and technology, by the time the world leaders take global warming seriously it will be far too late to fix it. The ocean's algea will die and then we will all be fucked.

I don't care about algae or survival; I just want to see toby's ass's guts ripped out by marauding hyenas in a vigorous and exhausting roman-sausage-circus-type scenario.

My prediction: six generations in the future, people will be living under the water at the poles, where the temeprature will be more or less acceptable. Most of the land as we know it will be arrid desert, and the equatorial lands will be completely devoid of any life.

The image that pops up in my head is a desert vulture pecking away at a dry, crusty remains of a fiber-optic cable (part of the former Internet backbone), exposed by land erosion and harsh desert winds.

To add insult to the injury, people will have huge ears like chihuahuas, useful in dissipating excess heat.

Gents, the process is irreversible. Time to start making long-term plans, allocating money on all kinds of research necessary for survival. Oh wait, we can't. Our deficit is too large, we already owe our ass to Korea and Japan.

WHO THE MOTHER FUCK ARE WE TO THINK THAT WE KNOW HOW THE EARTH BEHAVES!? Global Warming is real, in the sense that the earth has natural warming and cooling trends. Now, to say that humans have had no impact on the climate would be silly, however, global warming is yet another attempt to bring about the new world order. You see, with you idiots scared, you become docile, just like sheep .

I think the Earth and it's climate (and the universe, as far as that goes) are far too complex to be predicted by computer models. Chaos theory rules. Stephen J. Goulds theory of punctuated equilibrium, Chaos Theory, and Quantum theory would probably make better models if they were more amenable to prediction. But they're not and we live in a fractal world.

Any one who tries to predict the climate 25 or even 15 years from now is fooling himself. We can't even make weather forcasts that are accurrate for more than a week.

hahaha! YES! Global warming theory is a vast conspiracy by a shadowy organization of hack scientists to keep us frightened so they can control us and have an unlimited supply of cheap pocket protectors and booze and strippers with glasses like the 'Hot For Teacher' video. FUCK!

Um, scientists?

Agreed. Fine. But look at it this way. Most reasonable people can agree that pouring shit into the atmosphere is bad, right? Then some sciency people come along and say 'if we keep pouring shit into the atmosphere, the increased mercury content will attract rogue sentient meteor people who will enslave us all and there will be no more beer.' Well shit, that's alarming, but I doubt it's true. My doubt, however, does not change the fact that pouring shit into the atmosphere is bad, and that maybe we should do it less.

Global warming?????? We have had over 300' of snow and had record cold in Syracuse NY last two years. Explain that Prof. Egghead.

omg. my feet are sweaty.

'if we keep pouring shit into the atmosphere, the increased mercury content will attract rogue sentient meteor people who will enslave us all and there will be no more beer.'

No more beer? NOOOOOOO!!!

Ima gonna start recyclin' an stop huffing paint from CFC charged cans tomorrow!

Unfortunately global warming plunges us into ice ages instead of giving us hawaian summers. Sad but true. It also gives us hurricanes with ethnocentric names.

Hurricane Niger Please

The polar meltdown in theory (ice age theory) causes the initial melting polar ice / fresh water runoff from global warming to stop the gulf stream current flow, which currently brings temperate water to the northern hemisphere around the Atlantic to Europe and down. The Gulf Stream continues and surrounds the Pacific Ocean and comes back to a full loop around the planet. The current also distributes the heat energy further north from the equator moderating the planets overall temperature extremes.
That transfer of energy from the water also fuels the jet stream which moves and creates weather patterns as well. A round trip for a specific molecule of water is on the order of three thousand years in this current full round trip.

The human race will live in two narrow bands of arable land around the planet at lattitude. Desert exists towards the equator, ice and snow towards the poles. Very little weather at all.

The good news is we will have no more hurricanes with ethnocentric names.

Thanks guys, nothing cheers me up better than a good internet fite.

And, OMFG Lin Chih-ling injured in horse fall!!11

The sky IS falling vladtweaner.

Munch away vasu diva.

Your logic and your diction both vie for 'worst character flaw.' Welcome to you!

OH IT IS, IS IT WELL I guess you should then I'm sorry never mind I've lost interest.

OH!

He totally went there! See, first , he called you a 'diva', a wicked play on your name (MASSIVE lol there, never gets old), then implied that you chew on ass! TOTAL across-the-board burn, dude!

Poot!

I'll post this here since it is relevant.

Also, fuck you tobysass.

Add to that a drought in the rainforest, we have fucked this planet up.
