Okay, I give up. Let them tax my green house gas emissions. Just one thing I want to know. . . how much is it going to cost me to fart?

Headlines are just becoming a chain bark now. Mindless, pointless and annoying. This anti-UN meme makes me feel particular pathos for the subby. Put your shotgun down for 5 minutes, the possums aren't going anywhere. Then you'll have time to read some books. B-o-o-k-s.

How the hell do you put a limit on global temperature?

Does this mean if it's really hot one day we have to block out the sun the next?

Mr. Burns is dusting off his Sun Blocker.

This will of course lead to heat credits. If it's cold here in Denver, I can sell off that unused heat to a warmer city and make a fortune!

YAY!

I see they have a massive global consensus of all 18 scientists. Good thing they aren't depending on a minority to make such a massive statement! GO UN!!!

If every company would just sponsor an iceburg, we could keep 5 billion polar bears from drowning.

FTA

The panel's recommendations include a series of steps to cut the rate at which temperatures are rising. Chief among them are a global agreement on an acceptable ceiling for temperature rise and finding ways of adapting to cope with the damage already done.

I'd say Subby nailed it, even if it is stretching it pretty far.

Playing Devil's Advocate for a second-- what'd going to happen if some kind of concrete evidence appears that humans aren't nearly as responsible for climate change as we think now, and that it is actually a function of naturally occurring phenomena and external (celestial) factors?

95% of the world seems to have thrown their beliefs behind the predictions of, well... weathermen, basically. What IF they're not as tuned-in to this whole global climate thing as they think they are? It HAS been known to happen before...

You can pass legislation that the sun will rise in the West on alternate Tuesdays.

Nuff said?

Then we cleaned up our emissions, thereby lowering air and water pollution, and can relax our regulations. Oh noes!

Phil Moskowitz, did you actually turn on your computer, go online and come to Fark so you could complain that there are too many cliches, they are too sarcastic, and Farkers need to read more books? You, sir, are a special kind of tool.

How much will it cost to keep you from blundering into every climate thread and trying the same tired-ass joke?
