Global warming.
 

What do you think about it? I think people must do mething. The world needs help. I see in Italy (I live where I can see very well Alps) that glaciers are smaller than once, and 4 or 5 years ago it snowed a lot every weinter. but now...
And you? What do you see of bad in your country? What do you think about global warming?

I think my babelfish is broken.

I don't think we can joke about this argument.

I think you'll find anything's fair game on OWF. Even raping and skinning other people's Mothers.

Global warming is badlulz.

There was no snow in Aberdeen roundabout where I live, apart from the countryside and a little bit of snow and frost:(.

Studying environmental science, I get to keep up with the global warming science, and it’s quite worrying. As important as I think it is for reusing, recycling, energy and water saving, insulation and considerate consumerism to be staple behaviours for every person, I’m not convinced we can fight off global warming. There’s too little being done to reduce anthrogenous emissions from the business‐as‐usual levels, and we’re too close to various tipping points that will exaccerbate the process. We’re not going to end the world, but there’s a lot of human and environmental suffering down the line before nature and society adapt to the altered conditions.

That said, we should retain our ability to make jokes about it as long as keep acting sincerely. Humour doesn’t have to belittle an issue, it can make it more approachable.

Except that Global Warming will generally cause more unpredictable weather not warmer weather until the poles are all melted and we have to live in fridges

All I know is that this heat wave is making my genitals itch. Anybody else?

I miss Patrick Vykkers or whichever ignorant schmuck it was that posted the last Global Warming thread.

I just miss PV.

I live somewhere that will be environmentally unaffected by GW, but I still want to walk up to Al gore and go:

MYSELF: HAY AL GORE! WATCH THIS! *DEEP INHALATION OF AIR, FOLLOWED BY ENORMOUS EXHALE OF CARBON DIOXIDE*

ALGORE: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm quite blissfully ignorant to global warming's plights and woes, if I did know more about it I'm sure I would be sad.

Let's put a huge iceblock in the sea irllolftw

Crystal meffin? Is that what you propose we do?

What must be done, must be done.

Global Warming is serious business, I have a friend from Bel Air, LA (though I haven't seen him in awhile) he says that we have to watch out for it, although being an asshole and not caring is fine too.

The problem is, we let the temperature go up by 1 degree and all the fucking plants keel over and die.

Or something.

As Ricky Gervais said:

Why would we want to stop Britain getting warmer weather?

in b4 da kastere and da hoboes

As I would say:

God damn it it's hot in florida.

If global warming is happening, no one down here notices. It's 90 degrees each day.

Florida is just the old man's Michigan.

If Global Warming was happening, everyone in Florida would be dead.

If it gets much warmer the moles will become confused and start living as surface dwellers.

What the voles will do is anyones guess.

OMG DATS HIM WOLL SMYTHS IS MAH BOI

You bitch. Good work though.

that gave it away, didn't it? It was supposed to for the sharper members.

No it was the matching IPs and mention of Rasputin

Of course, nothing wrong with skin cancer and being under tons of water :p

AIN is right guys. Me must do something. But what?

Of course! I know what action we are to partake in! We must Meth. Meth hard. Come people, go outside and Meth something fierce!

Somewhere in all that self indulgent crap Gore spouted was a serious message. Shame he's a fucking hypocrite for traveling around the world spewing fumes in his own little private jet and successfully managed to block legislation to curb greenhouse gas stuff when he was vice president.

What I do know is if this continues England will be as cold as Russia in winter. Fuck that!

Well, we have three sets of weather in Southland now, so hot you can't go outside, pouring down with rain, or monster winds that knock trees down...ah, well, at least we won't kill ourselves by war...:/

I find it fascinating that you have precisely one kind of weather dedicated to temperature, one devoted to precipitation, and one uniquely dealing with wind speed.

Meteorological compartmentalising. It's the future!

In Soviet Russia, sea levels raise YOU!

Global warming is a myth :K
Besides, haven't you seen that end of the world movie? Australians are the last to be wiped out.
Seriously it is quite worrying, but now my family is trying to do their bit for the planet, by making me walk everywhere, sure it may have seemed like a good idea at first, but I realy do put alot in my pack.
Anyways, at least my parents will quit with the "We'll finally have a waterfront" joke
The thing about Australia is that while it does not have many mountains, so global warming doesn't seem to be affecting us, as soon as something big happens, we have a whole heap of low lying island refugees, and our country's pretty flat it'self.
I mean, like at the floods we had this christmas? I could of been up there if I wasn't over seas, plenty of my freinds were.
I always thought AUstralia was pretty safe. but now thinking about it, we could be screwed before my parents say "At least we found a cure for the drought"

Some dates:
2060: Greenland and Labrador coast has glacers no more: the hot water will fall in the Atlantic, and so the Gulf Stream will be stopped. The Northwest coast of Europe in the winter will be cold as cold as North Pole now because the hot water of Gulf Stream will not warm that coast.
2080: the world has not any galcer. And a new glaciation will start.
This is what I know and what everybody can find in Internet. This is just a very small version. I don't want to be alarmist, but we must think that we can't continues to pollute the atmosphere.
I attach an image of Greenland: it proves how much the glacers has been dissolved by heat from 1992 to 2002.

Well, there is a chance that the new up coming global ice age (Why is humanity so obsesed with their doom?) could balance out global warming, unless, as Alan Gore states, global warming triggers the next iceage, in which we get a bit of both, and are screwed, which we already are.
But has anyone seriously considered seeking out a livable planet, and abandoning earth?
I mean, like the entire population evacuating earth, gradually, when a disaster is about to strike.

We wouldn't live on another planet. The Earth is the only one in the universe livable. Anyway if a new glaciation will stop Global warming, the pollution will stay.

How do we know that?
Come on, I'm sure the Americans can create a new one.
Actually, scientific discoverys have lead to a theory that there could be many more life giving planets out there.

I hope to god you mean Solar System unless of course you DO actually know everything and it is I that is the ass.

You still fail.

I blame America for Global warming. But sure they can easily make a new planet. Of course you're going to need a green card to live there. That's just good buisness. Ice Age doesn't sound too bad except for the part that a good deal of the world is going to flood. Abe is Now knows a good deal of things including the fact that he's been everywhere in the universe.

You shut your whore mouth, blaming any specific country is about as useful as saying "KILLING DUBYA WIILL SAVE US!"

Your wit Is surpassed only by your stupidity.

God you're stupid.

Alpha Centauri is though to have habitable planets(s), and a deep space probe would no doubt prove they we're all just lazy fucks.

I am hoping the Hardon cillider will end everything nice and quick, or maybe for some Resonance Cascade up in this motherfucker.

I think it would be perfectly and reasonably possible to stop global warming right now, however, that ain't gonna happen, our governments aren't going to pull together immediately and stop using coal and oil etc. completely, blah blah blah. It ain't gonna happen, they're all in denial, loads of stupid idiots saying "Oh, it's happened before!" BS...
I mean, the governments are allegedly trying to sort things out, but efforts so far have been absolutely pathetic. Virtually all politicians are old, uncaring a*sholes, so for them they're either in denial or just think they're gonna die before then and couldn't care less. That's humans and our stupid political systems for ya. And, well, the whole of human society's system.

I think I accepted that we're very much screwed a loooooooooong time ago. Just try and make the best of what we can at the moment, since it's quite clear non of our leaders, the ones that can actually do anything, couldn't care less and are far too busy beating up Lesser Developed Economically Countries for oil and making some BS "We're helping them out by shooting them all" stories.

Ah, the optimism of youth.
