Global Warming Video

I found this while cruising around break.com and liked it. While it is basic and I learned the same thing in 7th grade, it takes a nerdy white collage professor with a white board to make it seem relevant.

After eagerly anticipating a warm winter here in Montreal, I am disappointed to note that it is getting colder...damn was hoping for no snow this winter.

Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize, for his work on global warming.

Also his alarmist propaganda movie was ruled inappropriate to be shown in British class rooms without a strong disclaimer.

For me, the most compelling argument is his point about Giant Mutant Space Hamsters. I think we need to start working on those giant traps right now! Better safe than sorry.

As for "global environmental destabilization", I've always thought that humans were obsolete and it's long past time for us to go extinct. If it wasn't a large meteor, a super volcano or the loss of our magnetic field we would have wiped ourselves out sooner or later to make way for the next dominant life-form.

No way.  Nature will time us out only after many thousands of years if not a million years.

Nope, we'll have to get rid of ourselves on our own to be time efficient.

Goddammit, I just got done using that phrase!  :angry: You did it before me without me knowing! This means war! :angry:

So, I'll get the chess board, you get the tea and crumpets. Except I need cocoa not tea.

If natural means take too long in killing our race off... then it will probably be too late. Technology has plenty of room to develop, and there's more than one planet in the universe. Habitable, or otherwise, is not likely to matter too much. With enough technology, we may not even need planets... apart from resources, perhaps.
