It was a joke, and a funny one. Aren't you the one usually critcizing others for not getting your humor?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! :har::har::har:


This is, simply, the absolute funniest damned thing I've seen in MONTHS. Damn, I needed that laugh.

*gasp...*

*whew...*

so your saying you're utopia would have none of the things listed on that board in the picture??

...I don't think i wanna live there...

I'm saying I have no utopia and all those things already exist.

-smog problems in major cities
-children getting atshma or starving due to droughts (possibly connected to desertification)
-rainforest being cut down every day (makes oxygen -> lets you breath)
-most of our energy being in coal or petroleum (which comes from where people hate us)

Smog created by the people that live there...leave, no smog.
Children have always died and mor live now than ever...some say population is a problem.

Developing countries have no right to develop?

But our coal/petro energy resources have been greatly curtailed by law or policy...we could do more...the worrld should love us for the sacrifice.

yes it is a problem. but we are smart. I know what you're alluding to, and population control is not really an option. Besides you'd probably be the first one on the picket line when they said "you can only have one kid"

50% chance of snow...in HOUSTON!
 

For crying out loud, snow in H-town? This will be the third time in 6 years. That's unprecedented in the history of the world. Global warning, my a**


And I don't care if you call it "global climate change", I'm leaning toward calling it bs.

hehehehe, Still going to call it BS when you slip on some ice in the morning? :D

I don't even want to hear about it. I'm only a few hours to the north and I've been living in a frozen hell for 2 days. :DL

I can't go anywhere because the streets are full of people who can't drive on ice, I have no water because the pipes froze, I have nothing to do because they shut the rail yard down; and to top it all off, TXU keeps cutting my power. Small stuff compared to what's going on in other parts of the country, but here in Texas it might as well be a new ice age.

Sounds like your complaining like a proper brit:D

Here is some good news.

How much you wanna bet on come summer:

"Its so hot why can't the scientists do something about global warming!" :rotfl2:

Thank goodness there is no difference between weather and climate - we just have to check what the weather is doing in Houston to see if the climate is changing or not. All those satellites, Antarctic science labs and computer models can be replaced by a simple thermometer at Neal's house.

But surely you will be raising the alarm about climate change when you have a heat wave, right?

global warming doesn't mean it's getting warmer *everywhere*. In fact, climate models predict lots of places will in fact get much cooler. Which is exactly the reason why theres "global" in front of "warming". The average temperature across the globe will rise, but there are countless places that will cool down.

Anyway, you can believe or not believe it, there currently is NO scientific body anywhere on earth that does not believe the earth is warming as a result of human activities. The number of dissenting scientists is continuously decreasing, the few remaining can't get much backing for their claims.
Everybody is free to believe what he wants, but not believing in global warming would be the same as saying you consider yourself more knowledgeable than the professionals.
