Har Har Har Global warming crap

[mistermack]

Having vanquished the climate change theory so comprehensively, it should be even easier to dispose of the idea that we will eventually run out of fossil fuels. After all, in 1972 the Club of Rome has predicted that we will have run out of the stuff in 1992, har har har.

The IPCC have learned a big lesson from those kinds of predictions, and are determined not to make the same mistake.
That's why they constantly make predictions for global temperatures by the end of the CENTURY.

Egg on the face of a corpse hardly matters.

Way to miss the point.

Apply Poe's law of course.

MM defeated the warming mythers? :orsonclap:

Well done sir.

Thanks, but it was an unfair fight.
The global warming lobby had some big guns, but they never had any proper ammunition.
They're just firing blanks now, hoping the noise will scare people.

Yup. Every time some pundit predicts peak oil, some oil company discovers some vast new untapped reservoir of oil under the 70 percent of the planet that hasn't yet been explored for oil.

And then there's all that methane hydrate to be harvested...

The Russians are going to send the Olympic Flame to the North Pole in a nuclear-powered ice-breaker.

They have about ten of them, and are currently building the world's biggest ever.
Don't those crazy Ruskys know that there won't BE any ice soon, except in the coldest part of winter?
They can just wait for summer, and sail round the arctic with no problem.
It's one of the bonuses that we are promised from global warming. It appears that the Russians don't believe all that bollocks, and are putting their money where there mouth is. Wikipedia's page on nuclear powered icebreakers is quite interesting : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_icebreaker

Global warming deniers are now officially called Koch Suckers. A relative of a famous Ratz lady came up with the term. If you post batty stuff and come up with supporters, I will call the group on the thread by that name.

Koch Suckers it is, then.

And I'll call you a motherfucking cock-sucker. How's that sound? Fair?

Can you get treehugger in there somehow? Stick to the topic.

Well, when you fuck your mother you chance getting her pregnant with another microcephalic moron who will do little more than produce CO2 to help warm the planet and suck cock as well, so that ought to qualify.

Which reminds me, if you believe in AGW, then it is your sacred duty to save the planet by immediately going out to your front yard, pouring gasoline over your head, then slitting your belly, allowing your guts to spill out and then lighting a match.

Why the gasoline? Well, it's better for the environment to immolate yourself than to allow your body to decompose, which generates methane, which is far more harmful to the ozone layer than the carbon monoxide caused by burning your body.

If you don't do this, you are a gross hypocrite who shouldn't be talking about AGW at all.

Not true. A decomposing human body doesn't generate methane.
Methane is produced naturally by special bacteria in bogs, which operate in conditions of near-zero oxygen. Also, in the guts of termites, and the stomachs of bovines.

It's a common misconception that decomposition always equals methane.
Actually, many bacteria in soil break down methane, and methane only persists for an average of 20 years in the atmosphere before it's broken down.

I could decide to be buried in a hole in a stable glacier. Where do I find one?

Glaciers are, by definition, not stable. They are always moving. In the Alps they somewhat regularly find the bodies of climbers who fell to their deaths decades earlier sticking out of the glacier as it moves and melts.

Probably the last place to go will be Antarctica. Go bury yourself in the soil down there, you'll be mummified by the lack of moisture and your corpse could last thousands of years.

Manmade global warming seems to be fading out from public discussion completely.
It hasn't been mentioned on the news for ages and ages.
I think the politicians are letting it die a slow death, rather than admit they fucked up.
But with the current oil price lows and shale gas boom, don't expect to see new windmills sprouting everywhere. The price gap is just too wide now.
