Listen to the experts, they said. Well, there was some confusion about which experts to listen to, y'see. There's no global warming! Yes there is! No there isn't! And now that they all agree, too late: we're all going to die! Must be a conspiracy!

Hey thicko! It's really simple! Yes, global warming is happening. No, the amount of rain during Spring Break isn't a symptom. Yes, the World'll be flooded before you get one laid.

No worries.

Dude, I suggest consulting a branding company for your upcoming grey goo, killer meteorite, and alien invasion threads.

That bear is totally pulling faces at itself in the water.

The ice sheet is shrinking at a rate of about 10% per decade, with Arctic summer temperatures climbing to around 2 °C higher than they were 50 years ago. About 1.3 million square kilometres, an area equivalent to three times that of California, have been lost over the past four years.

Did anyone else think this was about the cease and desist put on the Biggie album?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpost: No, God isn't dead. Remember, the Bible prophecies include increasing natural disasters on a global scale never before seen. The world will come to the brink of total destruction before Armageddon!

If, in the future, you ever find that a day's wages only buy you a loaf of bread, switch to Christianity! Pronto!

Not sure which is more tedious right now (considering they both remind me so much of 2002): 9/11 conspiracists or global warming alarmists!

It's about time that we fell in love

You know that I've been trying

It's about time that we had a laugh

You know that I've been crying

Too many people, too many troubles

Too many mouths are lying

If everybody laughed for just one day

You know that'd make me happy

Too many troubles, too many troubles

Don't know how we live so long

Too many troubles, too many troubles

It's time for us to live and laugh and laugh and laugh

It's about time that I said Hello to all those lonely people

When I was at the back who could never talk back through all the tears and sadness

You never really know who's there beside you

Who will be your comfort

If everybody laughed for just one day you know that'd make you happy

Too many troubles, too many troubles

Don't know how we live so long

Too many troubles, too many troubles

It's time for us to live and laugh and laugh and laugh

o what does it matter if the world ends tomorrow, for i have been banned from the noize board for being an aja/d poster, which i never was. try to imagine the horror of seeing your name on an admin log sandwiched between esteban buttez and dom passantino, as though two intact aja/d posters had been chewed up and you were the resultant paste.

Since I am 51, I am readier to die than I used to be. And a good thing it is, too.

People compare global warming to conspiracy theories? Wtf?! What were you taught in school?

I've been following with some interest the "3 degrees from disaster" thing which the ITV science reporter Lawrence McGinty is doing at the moment:
