Well, we'll just wait and see. Either we all cook to death under our own emissions or you get a big hearty laugh at global warming proponents.


I hope it's the laugh that's coming.

Anyone else see the hilarious talking bear, paid by John McCain ad? LOL.

I know this is off-topic, delete me if you need to...I am just loving this bear.

I’d be a lot more concerned about global warming if I didn’t have a glacier in my back yard.

Wait...where are all the global warming fanatics?  Here, I'll stand in for them...  Didn't you read that global warming can cause global cooling?  This is just a side effect!  Yeah, that's it!  It has nothing to do with the world just changing like it has for millions of years (or..tens of thousands if you are a creationist following the bible).

It's Global Climate Change don't ya know?!  That's zealot speak for "we're covering all bases".  The global climate has been changing since the planet has been spinning.  I say, use your brain and do what you can to conserve resources and not pollute but don't lose sleep over it.  We're ants in the greater scheme of things.

Do you know that, in fact, you refrigerator generates heat?

Most stupid people would stop at the argument "that's stupid! A refrigerator is made to cool down things!"

Well, you are guilty of the same intellectual laziness when you say things like you just said. A cooling effect in some of the regions of the world can be a side-effect to global warming. Like in the Northeast, we will probably have colder winters since the Northwestern Passage is opened longer, because of the melting of the polar cap.

Wow! The idiocy in that argument is astounding. If one region was absorbing the heat from another and that is why cooling happened, you might have an argument. Is that what you are saying? You really think our climate works the same way as a refrigerator? You think that one region is running some sort of coolant through another region and absorbing the heat from it? I know exactly how a refrigerator works but it sounds like you don't.

How do you explain snow in Texas?

The same scientists used the same "data" to proclaim in 1975 that we were entering a new ice age.

How dare you question the Global Warming™ zealots!  They have facts and Al Gore to back them up, right?

Not even that high up. The ants will be here long after we're gone.

I believe I recently read that the big ice shelf in Antarctica, the shrinkage of which was widely hailed by the Algores as the "smoking gun" evidence of "abnormally rapid" global warming is... back, and bigger than ever.

Well, nobody considers Pascal's Wager here, eh?(minus the God part) Better safe than sorry?...Nah.

Oh well, I can only hope that it is indeed wrong, because we're not going to change either way.

Remember, everyone: one cold year is absolute proof that this whole thing is a sham. There are no such things as outliers or variables in real world data.

~Zoo

Which is exactly the point. You appear to assume this is an outlier year and not the beginning of a different trend. Where's the evidence that either assumption might be correct?


Define "safe." Therein lies the rub.

Watch OUT! The feds will nail you for harboring an endangered species!   

Translation: If the temperature gets warmer, it's from global warming. If the temperature goes down, it's from global warming.

If you disagree, you are stupid and I will use an unrelated refrigerator analogy.

So you are saying that we are only moving heat around, not actually creating anything. (That is what a refridgerator AND an AC does).

In that case, man has NO effect on global climate change. just local climate change.

Great analogy.
