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.

Hobo 01-13-2008 11:04 AM

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.

Hobo 01-13-2008 11:14 AM

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

OANST 01-13-2008 11:15 AM

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

Nate 01-13-2008 11:30 AM

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

Mac Sirloin 01-13-2008 11:51 AM

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!

Leto 01-13-2008 11:53 AM

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

mething
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.

Strike Witch 01-13-2008 12:44 PM

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

Or something.

Why would we want to stop Britain getting warmer weather?

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.

OANST 01-13-2008 01:00 PM

Florida is just the old man's Michigan.

Fuzzle Guy 01-13-2008 01:09 PM

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

Disgruntled Intern 01-13-2008 01:12 PM

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

What the voles will do is anyones guess.

You bitch. Good work though.

Mac Sirloin 01-13-2008 01:47 PM

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

Hobo 01-13-2008 01:54 PM

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!

Wings of Fire 01-13-2008 02:34 PM

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!

skillyaslig 01-13-2008 05:58 PM

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...:/

Wil 01-13-2008 06:35 PM

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.

Bullet Magnet 01-13-2008 06:44 PM

Meteorological compartmentalising. It's the future!
