2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record
The Bad Astronomer writes "Last year was the 9th hottest year out of the past 130, according to NASA and the NOAA. That's no coincidence: nine out of the ten hottest years on record have been since the year 2000. It's long past time to face facts: the Earth is getting hotter, and to deny it is an exercise in fantasy."
But who the fuck cares?
Ohs Nos! Those poor kids in Canada are going to go without 20 feet in snow! They viking will re-invade greenland and start a grape growing empire! Dogs and cats sweating together! OMG OMG OMG!
APOCALYPTIC VOLCANOES OF HOT GRITS!
I said no... but I missed and it came out yes.
Woah... That's not bad for rented fingers. Who's your supplier? I've been looking for a decent set.

Now they just claim it isn't caused by humans. Global warming deniers are the new creationists - moving goalposts every time they are proven wrong because they can't stand what science is telling them. They have zero credibility.
But there are lots of them
Boo hoo to the farmers. They had their day.. in the middle ages.
Food comes from the supermarket these days, smartass.
Global warming is a hoax, just like the science of modern field crops.
Bah to science, let all stories about global warming get 150+ comments bitching about nothing!
You've never heared of the 'little ice age' ?
They are little ice age deniers.
Several years ago called. They want their debunked myth back.
I don't always use unix-like operating systems; but when I do, I prefer FreeBSD.
Umm yeah. Even if your oversimplified notion of how things will turn out for Canada comes true, you haven't considered the fact that Canada has a highly aggressive and heavily armed neighbour to the south which will suffer from global warming effects and may want to expand into other territory. Oh, and they have an irrational hatred of anything French.
Common Shitdot reply. Act like you know something that no one else knows and get all melodramatic about it.
I say let those bitches bring it on. They ain't going to do shit. There's too much TV to watch and too many games/songs/movies to be pirated. They'll never lift a fucking finger and neither will you.
This planet is mine to shit on and I plan on doing it. There's no reason for us to get heady about ourselves and think that the universe needs people. It'll do just fine without us and we'll be dead when it all goes down either way.
