Tex Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I guess the hope is to make people so guilty that they just leave their car at the pump and go dry hump the nearest tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dry humping a tree sounds dangerous. Splinters would get in sensitive bits. Though sap might alleviate that problem a little. What if a tree impregnated a woman? Is that how Groot happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 All 50 states hit with below-freezing temperatures on Tues, even though it is not even December: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/18/364972644/baby-its-cold-outside-all-50-states-hit-32-degrees Was apparently, the coldest November day since 1976: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/all-50-states-register-freezing-tuesday-temperatures-2014-11-18 More than 350 record lows, and record low high temperatures for 42 states: http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/arctic-cold-outbreak-november-locked-20141110 Well liberals, let's hear it. I'm all ears!!I honestly don't care about global warming, anymore. It ranks about as high on my radar as abortion. WTF am I going to do about it anyway? Even if the Earth is going to end up having its atmosphere boiled away due to global warming, in some deep freeze due to climate change, exploding like Planet Krypton, or spontaneously hurling itself out of orbit and crashing into some dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, I will be long dead when it happens, and I won't have any kids\descendents when it happens, either.

pavonis Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I considered being serious here for a second, then realized dear CM is just trolling.

Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh yeah, that old familiar line of reasoning. The last 5 years we saw X, so that necessitates the next 5 years having X. Fun quiz for everyone: what logical fallacy is Ender committing? This is multiple choice: A) No true scotsman B) Correlation implies causation C) Hot-hand D) False dilemma E) Begging the question I didn't claim any action should be taken. I didn't say that you did. Gee, my post went completely over your head, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Let's all waste each other's time exchanging talking points, because everyone here is so reasonable and willing to change their mind when faced with new data! Hooray for the Lyceum crowd being not-asshats! Great description of yourself! Put another way, get outta here with your holier-than-thou bullsh-t.

Carrie Mathison Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 An aspect of climate change is more extreme weather. Instead of steady rains spread out over a longer period of time, you get intense inundations. Be honest, you just literally pulled that out of your ass right now. Plus, I don't think anyone was claiming nor even discussing whether the rate of rainfall has increased. Before we talk about something like warming, perhaps you should think about working on something a little less complex: basic reading comprehension.

Ryn Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think "global warming" is a "best intentions" kind of term. It maybe meant to be helpful, but it really needs further explanation to be understood. (I had thought it as something like "affected global climate," but I'm not science-educated enough to make an argument if it's a better term.) About the recent weather, I like this National Geographic post, and that is complimentary to other articles that one effect of global warming/climate change is extreme weather of all conditions.
