What I want to know is 
 
A) how does he put his arms down?  Obviously he can't put them down very far..
B) how does he sleep?  One thing for sure, NOT on his side!

Less beans--less methane.  Simples.




So it's the Mexican's fault ?


And Boston--for the baked variety.  LOL

I love it when they say "man made global warming is real...we're having the worst floods for 300 years" -- oh, so there were floods as bad as this 300 years ago? Well gee, what could they blame it on back then? 




Zactly !

I must say, I'm relieved that you guys are smart enough not to fall for the Global warming BS. I have hope for humanity once again.

But will it make any difference now we know it's almost certainly our fault?
 



No. It will not make much difference.
 
The world population has been sustaining a massive plague for decades now. Unlike the bubonic plague, the only substantial transmission of HIV is via infected needle sharing (not drug addiction), or via sexual contact with an infected person. The epidemic has not been slowed by the obvious and simple expedient of using clean needles or avoiding dangerous sexual practices with persons of unknown HIV status. The infection rate is finally being brought down by the use of effective antiviral treatment. No such effective anti-warming treatment is on the horizon.
 
If the clear risk to an individual from HIV will not result in behavior changes that could save his life, the abstract and distant threat of the inundation of places where he does not live, or the loss of species that he does not eat or otherwise benefit from is unlikely to do so either. Add the pressure of a gigantic commercial and industrial system run by extremely wealthy politically influential people who as individuals stand to lose far more than the average individual if any change is made to that system, and the chances that human society will act to avert an environmental disaster that it causes are remote.

Just curious, mind.  But where exactly do you 5%ers get your info?  Are you all climatologists or some such?  You're tilting at a pretty definitive windmill, aren't you?

Sadly, it's often easier to disagree with evidence when it doesn't suit one's worldview.
 
That makes it all go away.
 
In future, I think we may well be remembered as the generation who were in possession of all the facts, but were so selfish we did f*ck all about it.

I find it interesting how many people claim that they "know" what the truth is, when in fact they have very little real knowledge or expertise regarding the subject in question.
 
I can understand someone who lacks expertise in something withholding personal judgment, but I just don't understand why any intelligent person would want to argue from a position of ignorance.
