Global Warming side effect---massive fires

[Capn Sunshine]

Boy, remember Australia last winter? And now us in So Cal? Imagine how bad it would be if Global Warming were real! The official White House policy statement says it's not

Lucky for us, huh?

1. Because this

has never happened before, right?

No fires in California.

But this year...the sun targetted you specifically.

Whole planet to choose from...and you got it.

Puleeze!

Global warming is no longer on the back burner. The Senate is putting the issue front and center tomorrow when they are scheduled to begin debate on the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act, a bill to curb the greenhouse gas pollution that causes global warming. This historic vote will put your senators on record as "for" or "against" common sense, effective approaches to global warming.

Tune in to C-SPAN2 on cable television, or you can watch and listen to C-SPAN online, beginning Wednesday, October 29.

4. It's nearly November. Is this normal?

The planet's getting seriously fucked up.

5. keep talking # 1

(deleted comment to avoid further deletion). This, and the fires in Australia, are MOMENTOUS, HISTORIC FIRES HERETOFORE NOT SEEN.

GET IT YET? MASSIVE, HISTORICAL PRECEDENT-TYPE LARGEST IN HISTORY FIRES.

a PREDICTED SIDE EFFECT OF GREENHOUSE WARMING.Together with melting Polar ice caps. A stream flowing in Antarctica. An ever-growing hole in the ozone layer.

Good thing the Bush administration says it doesn't exist. Or we'd be in real trouble.

Anything else I can explain for you?

6. Then make sure you never...

study the geologic history of this 4+ billion year old planet we inhabit. The earth will be here long after man is gone and some other creature will come to dominate. Way back before the dinosaurs, the earth was an uninhabitable primodial soup, but life still existed and evolved. Of course none of this is a license to f*ck up the planet, but it seems to be in man's nature to do so.

8. Some men anyway..the rest of us get called treehuggers

[DrWeird]

10. Do you deny...

that global warming is due to human emission of greenhouse gases? What does your creationism textbook say about the subject?

[SahaleArm]

11. WTF?

Did you read any of what I had to say? How many creationists believe in evolution or that the earth is billions of years old. Sure we are accelerating massive planetary change but it's not like this hasen't happened before.

9. nothing to see here. move along

no global warming

fires just happen

blame the arsonists

and put away those marshmallows and coat hangers.
