That's right. All of us.

Quote:

Global warming is 'irreversible'

Generating station in Sun Valley, California
Politicians must offset damage from man-made pollution, the report says

A team of environmental researchers in the US has warned many effects of climate change are irreversible.

OK. Now that it’s inevitable I’ll scrap my catalytic converter for the platinum, cut down the trees in my back yard for fun, and take the long way home from work. Enjoy your inevitable demise.

Quote:

The scientists say the oceans are currently slowing down global warming by absorbing heat, but they will eventually release that heat back into the air.

I expect this to coincide with the octisquid invasion.

You don't understand the plan Vlad. We're going to boil the oceans to kill the octosquids. Thus, not only ending their threat, but we'll be eatin (already cooked!) calimari for years to come. Yum!

Yes but at what cost!

Re: We're all Dead

There is never any "cost". Government has taught us that. Congress will just pass legislation to shift the temperature scale so our temperatures remain "normal". Global warming defeated at the stroke of a pen.

Well we can just stop caring then.

~~forgive me mother nature I have consumed~~

Pull the plug and sink the rainforest I mean the have little fishes that swim inside you urine-tube and lay eggs there. I am not going to miss them. Ok tigers are cool, give them what they need.

I think you're confusing the words "irreversible" and "inevitable".

Yes, let's just halt all sorts of pollution immediately so it won't get any worse either.

Re: We're all Dead

Don't human beings emit carbon dioxide as part of our biological processes? Wouldn't mass suicide be the only ethical solution to the problem of man-made global warming? I mean after all, that's 5% of total climate change that would halt immediately.... We'll leave it to the polar bears to figure out how to make solar activity stop causing the other 95%.

What ever are you thinking of!

Think of all the methane dead bloated bodies are going to make!

And you can’t dig a hole and pull the dirt in on your self either! Think what you are doing to the soil…

Do you see what a hopeless mess it is now!

don't automatically equate industrial chemical polution with the possibility of CO2 induced AGW, thats as stupid as; "Why do you hate freedom" argument.

No, we should stop all machines now, then kill all CO2 emitting animals and then ourselves, it's the only way to save us! :smash:

According to the Sunday Times the possible (and increasingly probable) extinction of bees will get us well before the rising sea levels etc. And maybe they're right?

Bees aren't going extinct...last I heard the story was being blown out of proportion by bee keepers who had been using an illegal weedkiller/fertilizer/whatever chemical beekeepers use.

Read this.

So in terms of its intended rhetorical association, Unstoppable = Burn Baby Burn. But let’s not confuse Irreversible with Unstoppable. One means no turning back, while the other means no slowing down. They are very different words.

There is also an explanation of why the word Irreversible has been used.

Never fear. The current stimulus package includes provisions to fund beekeepers and fishfarmers

Lets think positively.. If sea level rises too high, then we can build a city on the ocean or up in the sky. Like starwars. Then we send the good old George Lucas movies to other planets and then human beings can live off with the moneys that alien tourists drops.

Alleluia!!

I know you're kidding but bees are quite important for many plants and they make honey, too!

We're all Dead

True, from the moment of conception, for us all and our ancestors and descendants.

We don't really understand this "life" stuff anyway. Birth, death; we're always in-taking and out-putting, consuming and shedding. Our atoms fly all over the place and interact in ways we don't perceive or understand with everything and everyone around us. And everything else's and everyone else's atoms interact with us, in countless, almost infinite combinations and dynamics.

That we want to move our atom fields around more quickly than we can achieve with our own legs, so we mimic faster moving dinosaurs by sucking up their remains and burning them to make wheels spin that we can ride, seems a quite natural, logical progression. That we haven't yet figured out how to squeeze every last drop of that dinosaur juice efficiently, and so spew the dino-juice leftovers into that number one resource we share: air, is troublesome, but fixable, if we try harder and get smarter. Past history shows that we can. It's just a matter of time and effort.

Flame throwers, old hat…but the Tannerite, now that is cool!

Wouldn't sending the prequel movies to other planets be considered an act of war? We don't want to provoke alien civilizations into coming over here to eradicate Jar Jar Binks. :laugh4:

n fact, a major reason to end man made CO2 emissions RIGHT NOW is that they are likely to be bad for squid.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7783971.stm

Seriously, our cephalopod overlords might, just might, tolerate ape men inhabiting the less desirable parts of the planet. What sort of puny organism wants to live under less than 5 tonnes pressure per square inch anyway? But when they start acidifying the oceans? No way baby. Here's the deal:

Quote:

The squid may start to hunt different fish species, especially in shallower water where oxygen levels may be higher

Yeah, hunt different "fish", right.

I guess solar activity is responsible for at least 95% of our planet's excess temperature over deep space. Unfortunately its the 5% that's the problem.

Okay, it has been 10 years since I've played Magic, but can you counterspell a creature?

Regardless, you then play this card:

Yeah. That's how I normally get rid of annoying creatures anyhow. That's why its called "Countering", I'm not sure about the spell part.
