I'm going to jump people in the park and dump my carbons on them.

1/11/2008 3:11:13 PM

Yeah right. 30ish years ago it was all "OH NOES GLOBAL COOLING WILL KILL US ALL"

1/11/2008 3:12:51 PM

just in case you guys missed the memo, it's referred to "global change" for this exact reason

just FYI

I can't make this shit up.

haha

MY CARBONS...LET ME SHOW YOU THEM

1/11/2008 3:31:24 PM

snow in baghdad?

thats a pretty literal example of "hell freezing over"

Quote :

"it's referred to "global climate change" "

close enough though

1/11/2008 3:32:07 PM

lets put our effort into debunking global warming

rather than helping keep this finite resource clean

and then call ourselves intellectual

whether it exists or not

why not try to live cleaner?

1/11/2008 3:33:15 PM

I think it's precisely unintellectual to go about fear mongering over something that doesn't exist, that would require us to put untold amounts of resources towards "fixing."


That sounds like a brilliant idea!

1/11/2008 3:35:25 PM

Scientists sure are dumb, aren't they?

1/11/2008 3:36:44 PM

No politicians are.

1/11/2008 3:37:26 PM

ha...i graduated with my focus in environmental sustainability and i am disgusted by the fear mongerers

is global climate change a reality? yes...if you disagree, you're wrong
is global climate change a direct effect of anthropogenic activies? yes...if you disagree, you're wrong
is global climate change going to be the end of life? get real, people

i do think we're overdue for some cleaner, more environmentally-responsible living, so if this is what it takes, bring it on

climate change doesnt happen overnight, if what we've done the past 100 years is about to screw up the planet, then there not much we can do about it
but we can stop it from getting worse

or not much we can do about 2 billion+ chinese and indians and their pollution

1/11/2008 3:49:44 PM

i betcha they're about to unveil a new emmissionless engine or something

1/11/2008 3:51:12 PM

maybe we can make an engine thats only exhaust is water vapor

nah scratch that, since water vapor is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than co2

1/11/2008 3:53:10 PM

^nah, for one reason or another that aint workin out

im tellin ya they're sitting on something they dont want us to know about

1/11/2008 3:57:59 PM

1. cut new hole in ozone layer over already arid middle east
2. "shoot" co2 and heat out of that hole...since hole is over middle east, extra heat wont melt any ice
3. profit

They rebrand when they find out that the evidence doesn't support their mission.


global cooling -> global warming -> climate change -> global change (how much more generic can you get? I mean they can't possibly be wrong with that branding scheme).

you know whats happening?

bagdad is cooling, the poles are melting
sounds like a magnetic pole reversal
the new poles will be in the middle east and the middle of the pacific ocean

therefore global warming is still going on, just the poles are changing

you're exactly right.....but if it wasn't for something along these lines about 5 years ago, we wouldn't even know/care that it snowed in baghdad

1/11/2008 4:09:07 PM

yeah, and if you havent noticed its nice and warm outside today

1/11/2008 4:09:51 PM

Y'all are hilarious.

If we had adopted technocracy in the 1930s, this wouldn't be a problem.

1/11/2008 4:14:09 PM

So when the temperature's well below normal, can I claim that "global change" is not happening? Or are the alarmists right whether it's too hot or too cold?

Q. Too hot?
A. Global change.

Q. Too cold?
A. Global change.

Q. Too wet?
A. Global change.

Q. Too dry?
A. Global change.

Q. Who's responsible?
A. Dumb Bush.

Q. But. . . .
A. STFU--you work for Exxon, neocon!!!1

I don't know if you heard, but we had this depression going on.

^^ you are a perfect example of why this thread is pointless...the facts are there, but those who disagree with them tend to rely on semantics to "refute" them

That was why the movement was relatively popular at the time.

I can fart and cause global change.

What a fucking useless term.
