Great discussions with my co-workers this morning. The viruses affecting bees, sonar affecting whales and dolphins, evolution, super volcanos, ghosts and then bam - GW.

All of a sudden I have to bite my tongue.

It's sad that a scientific theory has taken on almost religious connotations.

"Huge drought in X-place. Global warming."

Bite my tongue.

"Look how hot it is right now. Early spring. Global warming."

Bite my tongue.

"Look at the huge amount of storms we've had compared to the past. Global Warming."

Bite my tongue.

Nothing they mention is outside the norm but anything they see - global warming.

MMGW is real. Just what effects it is having and what, if anything, should be done about is debatable.

Your co-workers are probably being dumb by assigning everything outside the norm to MMGW.

Buy into?

Do you 'buy into' gravity?

You should tell your co-workers hard proof is now showing a specific family of pesticides are the likely culprit in the bee problem. A group in Italy matched the use of a specific and widely used pesticide to the beginning of EUs appearance of colony collapse. It is a used on corn. EU approved it or use in 98-99 and not long after the colony collapse syndrome started to show up.

This. Unfortunately the debate is entirely dominated by people who on one side who are in complete denial and people on the other side who think we're about 6 months away from living in Waterworld.

People who say, "Look! We had no winter! WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!" are just as focking stupid as those who claim that global warming does not exist every time the mercury drops below freezing.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

Things caused by Global Warming:

"asteroid strike risk, asthma, Atlantic less salty, Atlantic more salty, atmospheric circulation modified, attack of the killer jellyfish, avalanches reduced, avalanches increased, Baghdad snow, Bahrain under water, bananas grow, barbarisation, bats decline, beer and bread prices to soar, beer better, beer worse..."
