A Countdown To Global Catastrophe?
An anonymous reader writes "From The Independent: The global warming danger threshold for the world is clearly marked for the first time in an international report to be published tomorrow - and the bad news is, the world has nearly reached it already.
For the full story, see this article."
Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, biblical?
Ray: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor... real Wrath-of-God-type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies.
Venkman: Rivers and seas boiling!
Egon: 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanos. Winston:The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria!
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

I live in Michigan, US. I want global warming about now. It's about 0 degrees here. The sensor in my tire froze and broke now saying my car has low air pressure in the tires. I step out side and feel my noze hair freeze. BRING ON THE GLOBAL WAMING!!!!!! I need to thaw out.
Evolution or ID?
"For the full store, see this article."
Apparently so.
Does anyone have a link to the actual report?
Just search scholar.google.com for Dr. Chick N. Little...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more

He's being sued by my law firm - Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe.

Winston:.... since I've been with these guys I've seen $h1t that'll turn you white.
Evolution or ID?
SCO has a supervolcano???
Linux most get a bigger super duper volcano, we can not have a supervolcano gap!!!
I think we need a good end of the world situation. I look forward to leading hordes of bad people in the search for pleasure. I plan on wearing a cool mask and driving a highly tuned car o' death while screaming "Give Me Your Oil!!"...but that's just me.

...
From the summary: The global warming danger threshold for the world is clearly marked for the first time in an international report to be published tomorrow
www.timcoleman.com is a total waste of your time. Never go there.
And it breaks new ground by putting a figure - for the first time in such a high-level document - on the danger point of global warming...
And that figure is.... 42.

'Global warming' hype reaches fever pitch But critics doubting data compare ideology behind movement to Communism, Nazism
Man, they don't get past the sub-header before invoking Godwin's law. Now that's good journalism!
"Why can't everyone just be straight with me?"
"Because we live in a bendy world, dear."
That may be true, and even though the general state of the Earth should be highly prioritized, nothing (and I mean NOTHING) can ultimately compare to the question of Human survival.
The Earth is truly nothing without us.
Dale: "If we take control of this global warming thing we can grow pineapples in Alaska!"
Hank: "We don't live in Alaska, we live in Texas where it gets 112 degrees in the shade. And if it gets one degree hotter I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Yeah, sorry about that, the fleet's a little delayed. But we'll get to it eventually.

"The risk of nuclear war, during the cold war, was not a certainty..."
Fry: "This snow is beautiful! I'm glad global warming never happened."
Leela: "Actually, it did. But thank God nuclear winter canceled it out."
the world ended in the 1100s and the 1500s when the temperatures were that high before, so this is just academic.
If we all get together and act quickly, we can still reverse this. Just stick your air conditioner in your window the other way around, and turn it on full blast. If every AC unit in the USA is turned on reverse full-blast like this, we should be OK.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
We need to make sure Earth is still here for when the Galactica arrives....

Well, apparently National Geographic hasn't heard of a little place called Atlantis. They had cars. Flying ones. And what happened to them? They got flooded. Hmmmm... sounds like global warming to me. And who told us about them? Oh yeah, that's right. The Egyptians.
I may twist orthodoxy to partly justify a tyrant. But I can easily make up a German philosophy to justify him entirely.
I want my great great grandson to live too... and I want him to rule over the remnants of mankind with an iron fist and will of steel. The coming environmental disaster will be the beginning of our dynasty... or maybe the robots will take over.
Dear sir or madam,
In the future, when posting to Slashdot, please never cite another source and talk about their "opinions". Only refer to their views as fact, dogma, the unequivocal truth. This way others will respond with their facts and we'll start a flame war. By honestly presenting an opinion, others may take a moment and reflect on what you have to say, and may even choose to better themselves. We don't want that now do we? I didn't think so.
Regards,
The Management
you will know about it again on slashdot the day after tomorrow
So you're saying you are an eco-nut? This is confusing.
I'm trying to improve my English. Please correct me on any spelling/grammar errors in this post.
Hmm...well, it would certainly slow the outsourcing of jobs to India, that's for sure...
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
How much do we commit?
We commit whatever it takes to build and stock 15 Vaults in SoCal, that, when the time is right, the Vault Dweller can rise and make things right in the world.
PS: Always stock extra water chips.
I know what you mean. The National Academy of Sciences are just a bunch of lazy/bad scientists. Ditto for the community of Nobel Prize winners. Now W., there's a scientist.
Go easy on the Trekkies, earth women won't sleep with them so they're hoping somewhere, somehow, there's some alien pussy they can get.
Any more commenting on this crap would be a waste of electrons.
Heh, my laptop appears to have a sense of humour. About 5 seconds after posting parent, it complained about low battery power.
