WARNING - These Links Could Cause Global Warming
The truth about the "Hockey Stick Curve." This is actually kinda old news, but that thing keeps coming up like a bad penny.
Besides, there are better explanations for global warming. Hey, it makes at least as much sense as this...
Speaking of global warming - Al "Tons-O-Fun" Gore tells us that cigarette smoking is a significant contributor. No really! As Jonah Goldberg points out - smoking should help with global warming. If anything, this is proof global warming is a religion. Much as bizarro-Christianity now has "Christian everything" (see myriad examples here) so global warming has become a catch-all for everything someone wants to control. How long before there is a global warming reformation?
Finally, some truth to the matter.
On the environmental activism front - why exploit them when you can kill them? This should be funny, but I can't laugh.
From "Ozone Hole" land - this makes no sense to me whatsoever. The Antarctic hole is man-made - the result of CFC's, but the Arctic hole is natural because of a change in winds increasing nitrogen oxide levels in the ozone layer. For one thing - how do they know which mechanism is working where for sure, and secondly nitrogen oxides are smog, but here they are natural? If CFC's can migrate from populated areas to the poles, why can't NOX? Could it be because they have found a new, broader, better-selling potential disaster? Just wondering.
The most grammatically strained environmental observation of all time.
Fear mongering at it's finest. Actually, its funding extraction at its finest, but it's so hard to tell the difference these days.
God save us from ourselves! Oh wait, He did that already - ON THE CROSS!
As half of a childless couple, this simply makes me cry.
Great, great stuff - thanks to Mark Daniels for posting it.
You know, when I was younger, I would have thought this a fine way to have a car accident. Now, well....
Now this is science. And as the child of someone that once bought a popcorn company, a chance to bore you to tears with popcorn trivia and science. Did you know...?
(WARNING - Completely tasteless joke follows) I know if I had sex with a koala, I wouldn't want it to get pregnanat. It's a good thing I am not that kind of "scientist."
OK, I think this "obesity epidemic" thing has gone just a bit too far.

The strange proposition that nature is apparently polluting itself...You'll excuse me while I go glue my head back together.
