cjstaples noted a CNN story proclaiming that Jupiter's signature red spot is shrinking. Over a 10 year study, the giant storm lost just over half a kilometer per day for a total loss of about 15%. Scientists know about shrinkage, right?

    Impose "carbon caps" and expensive "cap and trade" plans that kill industrial growth and limit the ability of poorer countries to improve their standard of living! Who CARES if they're starving to death, this is the PLANET we're talking about SAVING from HUMANS!

    Denigrate and attack any doubters! This is FAITH we're talking about, doubt and dissent CAN NOT BE ALLOWED!!!!

    Another fucktard trying to hijack a thread with an anti or pro global warming rant. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHRINKAGE OF JUPITER'S GRS! Mods: this is flamebait and offtopic.

    And it doesn't even make any sense.
