Two things,
1. could you tell my hands were cold and stiff when I typed the above? holy
crap...
2. Glad to see some guys in here don't buy into the Global warming thing.
but let's add to that, how about

California is going to fall into the ocean.

the Y2K joke. I worked for a good sized bank at the time and was on one of
the many Y2K testing and compliance teams.

spotted owls can only live in one kind of tree, then found nesting in a
store sign.

Right, rip down all the ****ing trees, who cares? Dump more CO2 into
the oceans so they become more acidic and kill off the little beasties
that fish eat. Who cares? Well, maybe the folks that eat fish. And
anything else.

I love your Y2K joke. I worked my ass off fixing and testing computer
systems so they would function properly after 1999. Lots of other
people did the same thing. Oh, nothing happened! That's because we
worked our asses off making sure that nothing would happen. Money
wasted I guess. Asshole.

Actually, virtually all scientists agree that the world is getting
warmer, and almost all agree that human activity is having an impact.
Even the lying *******s running our government sort of have to admit
it.

And yes, California may very well fall into the ocean. That doesn't
mean I don't go there sometimes. But sometime in the next few thousand
years it is going to have a nasty earthquake. Perhaps you can be there
to enjoy it.

And for your assertion that there is no global warming because it's
snowing outside, global warming means more energy in the atmosphere.
That means a more active atmosphere, with more extreme events. Colder
colds, hotter hots, deeper snows, heavier rains.

Useless to worry about it or try to do something about it, unless you
give a shit about our kids and their kids.
