that must be what it's like when geoff's wife lets go of the side of their above-ground pool

[xer0s]

But old, innit?

[scared?]

How is this climate change?... This shit prolly happens all the time and is rarely noticed is all... Grow up...

[Eraser]

Here we go...

[losCHUNK]

Good news is that the Antarctic is getting record highs for sea ice and the Arctic ice is up on previous years

[plained]

come on guys!

recycle your juice boxes and cereal boxes faster!

we can stop this!

[scared?]

anyone who lives north of 32°N is a moron...my suggestion is to move south...

[xer0s]

Yeah, there's no doubt we're contributing to global warming. But like you said, there are record highs for sea ice right now and these things fluctuate. We could easily just be in another normal climate cycle. Another ice age could happen any time. The world will go on doing its thing, with or without us...

Tomorrow's forecast calls for a dusting of snow with a chance of Ice Age.

[xer0s]

I know right!

When I say any time, I'm talking within a few thousand years, which in the grand scheme of time, isn't that much...

[scared?]

clueless moron...its not a normal climate cycle...events usually cause climate shifts...humans are doing the slow motion moronics event into extinction...dont pretend its something else...

[Whiskey 7]

Extinction sounds about right ... ...

That's like saying you can keep yourself cooler in the summer by leaving your refrigerator door open. Sure, you might feel a bit of momentary relief by letting the cool air from the fridge drift around your skin, but overall the fridge is generating more heat through the back of the unit heating up your house more than before.

Climate change is happening, and it's getting significantly warmer, faster, at an increasingly faster rate, and it is due to human intervention. What brief sense of cooling that you may think you feel is caused by more extreme weather conditions fluctuating as the global average temperature increases. What you're saying about highs of sea ice is untrue, huge swaths of ice shelves have collapsed in recent years and they aren't being replaced. Any thickening of ice is caused by higher amounts of precipitation as more water is being heated and evaporated in other parts of the world and freezing in the arctics.


That documentary "Chasing Ice" is on Netflix. It's a good watch for anyone interested.

[mrd]

All I need to see is some asshole bury a 30FT pole into solid ice and come back a year and the fucking thing is laying on its side because 30FT thick of ice has melted in a year. See you all in hell.

[Tsakali]

this is why I'm waiting before I upgrade.

Some people believe those who live in colder climates have a higher IQ because it took more intelligence to survive natural selection in those conditions.

Is it nice and toasty in Texas today?

You have kids right? I wouldn't be making jokes if I were you...

[seremtan]

his kids will be too busy trying to survive in the ever-bleaker world of 21st century capitalism to worry about climate change

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

trying to survive in the ever-bleaker world of 21st century capitalism

which will be made vastly more difficult due to climate change

[scared?]

serious question...why is puff such a pretentious faggy douche?...something to ponder...
