When Monsanto gets done poisioning our seeds with weed killer and GE
poisons us with mercury filled light bulbs we won't have to worry about
global warming, Armeggedon, or meteorites........

This is timely and 100% accurate;

Oh yeah, remember all those horrible hurricanes that would be upon us from global warming?

Eh....not so much.

Which is how global warming can cause more snow, less snow, no snow, avalanches, heat waves, cold snaps, wetter wets, drier dries, gingivitis, delirium tremens and irritable bowel syndrome  . . . all at the same time!

Global warming — is there anything it can’t do?

It is a wonder that anyone believes the warmist tripe anymore. Of course, they NEVER get called on the predictions that have failed to come to pass.

Carlin is generally spot on. Comedians like him can tell it like it is because its comedy, even if it does have a point.

Lets think about some of the engineering feats people have proven capable of.

1. Nuclear weapons

2. Strip mining and moving mountains

3. Dams creating lakes





I think we're capable of making things a lot worse. We not be able to stop things, but we can certainly screw them up more.

nope. I don't see a lot of warming going on.

Warning: The explanation involves SCIENCE - you know, the subject in which many of you do not "believe."

Please explain then, why it was on the OPNION page of the NYT...

The reason being inside a closed area where you might have something like a car running is bad is because it produces carbon monoxide, the reason this is so deadly in large doses is it bonds to the hemoglobin in your blood and it can no longer transport oxygen.

Billions of heads of cattle producing billions of cubic feet of methane gas for decades...no effect.

Aerosol spray can usage for decades all around the world...no effect.

Here's the net of 50 years worth of CO2:



Note the scale is only 1%.

Mowing down of BILLIONS of trees and large plants over two centuries (remember, trees eat carbon dioxide)...no effect.

Within the US the amount of forested lnad has risen slightly over the last 100 years.
