Ah Southpark, the most reasonable of Republican counter-arguments.

7of7: Ah Southpark, the most reasonable of Republican counter-arguments


1)I'm not a Republican.

2)It wasn't a reasoned counter argument, it was snark.

So it's like New Orleans but with a warning then?

Um, doesn't venice have a sinking problem. Even without global warming they'd be screwed.

Good.

They probably deserved to die.

/Not really serious here
//But I'm depressed and I don't give a fark.
///Sla.. oh the hell with it.
////Life sucks.

Venice does have a sinking problem, but it's relatively small when compared to its stinking problem.

"Global warming is causing sea levels to rise more rapidly than nature once allowed.

What the fark does that mean? Global warming isn't natural? Do they have some information that nobody else does?

a visit to amsterdam before its destruction should be in order. personally i hope venice sinks, i have a small collection of venetian crystal which would become priceless if such a thing were to happen.

just kidding, i simply hate venetians.

Wow. There are still people out there who believe humans haven't helped with global warming.

Pre-emptive Global Warming thread strike:

1). It's happening
2). No, it isn't
3). Hockey stick graph
4). Manbearpig
5). Pirates
6). Ecofasists
7). Neocon poopflingers
8). I like cake

End .... scene.

Can you bury that whole IRS investigation going on regarding my taxes for 2005 as well, please?

I never said I didn't believe humans helped. I'm saying nobody has proven anything one way or the other. There are many studies that "prove" both sides.

Seed magazine is the G.O.A.T.

Venice is built on swampland. Up until a few hundred years ago they would periodically demolish and build up the land as it contiued to sink and sea levels rose. However, a few centuries ago they stopped doing this and the city became a museum piece.

In short, the city is farked, climate change or no climate change.

... and I can't even close off an italics tag.

Oh, thank the gods. I thought we were in trouble there for a moment. I'll rest better tonight knowing that the United States government is on the case!

Venice? Buh Bye. Vermont is on the list. For the love of all that is holy stock up on maple syrup now!

Sorry, Venice has been sinking for hundreds of years. Even before the advent of the industrial revolution.

Let me guess, you're getting a kick out these replies? :P

/All I came in to say

Articles like this give Al Gore credibility... this alone discounts any valid argument.

Venice smells like dog shiat and raw sewage. Enjoy!

"Wow. There are still people out there who believe humans haven't helped with global warming."

Yep. And smarter people than you, too.

If you goto this webpage and look at the response to global myth 1 you will see a graph of CO2 concentration over the past 1000 years.

1000 years.

1000 farking years.

I am a statistician by trade. I cannot buy into global warming when I see junk science like this treated seriously.

Why should I give an estimate of CO2 concentration levels from the year 1000 serious merit? Its a farking joke.

They're guessing.

You really think we KNOW what the CO2 concentration was in the year 1000? We may have a guess. How accurate do you think that guess is?

1000 years of data, my ass.

1000 years.

Get some perspective.

1000 years.

Why do I repeat it? Because crap like this is the basis for pro-global warming arguements. Bring me CREDIBLE evidence.

1000 years.

StatJunkie: Why should I give an estimate of CO2 concentration levels from the year 1000 serious merit? Its a farking joke.


I would just like to point out that the site stated mission is "Saving the Planet one joke at a time", so I'm pretty sure that it is in fact a joke.

I would suggest that deadpo3t try a little harder to find a more credible source from a more scientifically literate author next time.

Ahh Global Warming, and Evolution should be in the craziest myth creature link

Oh, for Christ's sake, what do you folks think is going to happen? The pretty Vermont foliage will happen in Canada and God knows the place needs -something- interesting, the reefs around Newport Beach will warm up and get prettier fish. Things are going to move, folks. What we know now as the tropics are going to be hotter, but the stuff in the article is going to move toward the temperate zones. Pity about Venice, though, moving that would be a biatch.

Being gloomy about global warming is like being gloomy about tides. Global warming is happening no matter whose fault it is, and it might not be such a bad thing - and if the ocean levels rise about 680 feet I will have beachfront property.

Venice is sinking without global warming. Venice has been sinking since the time of the Romans. They used to just tear things down and build on the rubble to keep up pace, but now that everything is a an indestructible landmark, they are sinking into oblivion.

That's your problem, and Bjorn Lomborg's. You're not SCIENTISTS. Estimates are not the same as guesses, and there are methods of determining how accurate the methods are.

There are thousands of really smart people who have spent their lives trying to figure out things like this, and you disrespect them to go on yelling like an idiot that they're just making "guesses."

Rockdrummer:

"Wow. There are still people out there who believe humans haven't helped with global warming."

Yep. And smarter people than you, too.

I seriously doubt that. I'm really smart, and there aren't very many serious deniers in 2006.

maxjenius: They used to just tear things down and build on the rubble to keep up pace, but now that everything is a an indestructible landmark,

That's pretty much the problem everywhere.

By what stretch of the imagination is Vermont the "most rural" state?

What I remember of Vermont involves weeks when it never got above -10F, lows around -30F; I suspect that there are a few more years before things change to balmy.

the nation's second least populous state, and its most rural

Most rural? Aww shucks, and here I thought that went to us North Dakotans..

MisanthropicSway: Most rural? Aww shucks, and here I thought that went to us North Dakotans..


Wyoming is the least populous state, and we make a great case for most rural, too, for better or worse. I live in one of the big cities at 30k. It's not as cold or snowy as Vermont or North Dakota either.

Wyoming is a beautiful place...I've often thought of moving there, but I love our snowy cold winters too much to give them up.

/will take 6ft of snow and -30F over a yucky hot day anytime
//wonders if they need any Literature instructors in Antarctica

MisanthropicSway: /will take 6ft of snow and -30F over a yucky hot day anytime


We don't get as hot as you do in ND, either. I looked at comparisons with Minnesota before moving here, and it had lots less snow and 10 degrees warmer in the winter, while also being 10 degrees cooler in the summer without all the rain/mosquitoes.

The NSF does have a program to allow artists, including writers, to winter over in Antarctica. You might look into it.

So it's like New Orleans but with a warning then?

New Orleans had plenty of warning. That's the annoying part.

I'm torn between making snarky jokes about "government to the rescue" or being depressed that it's entirely plausible that top government officials actually read fark.com.

Maybe Al forgot that 30 years ago the same scientists were scaring us all with this:

No that was the media, not the overwhelming majority of all climatologists. There's a difference. Learn it, and stop making shiatty, fallacious arguments.
