LOL. This thread has got humorous.
Did you actually say that Noco or is it just a quote from somewhere ? I realise you are way out there but supporting Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.
It just doesn't make sense anyway.
And what the hell is it doing in this thread ?
LOL. This thread has got humorous.
WASHINGTON (AP) In what many experts are calling one of the most serious cases of mass hysteria in modern times, the U.S. government today released its National Climate Assessment, a sobering 840 page summary of a wide variety of normal climate occurrences which are leading to physical symptoms such as adolescent psychiatric problems, great wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
The report is gripping the nation like a global warming polar vortex trapped in place by the swirling toxic vapors emitted by a swarm of possessed SUVs.
The report contains claims of U.S. floods, droughts, severe weather, and heat waves, all of which are not unprecedented compared to centuries past, but are nevertheless known to be the fault of humans.
Ronald Wobbles, the report’s lead author, was quoted as saying (I am not making this up), “We’re already seeing extreme weather and it’s happening now”. This finding stands in stark contrast to 100 years ago, when ‘we saw extreme weather that was happening then’.
Climate deniers, known to be the same paid shills who once worked for the tobacco industry, were quick to pounce on the report’s findings, claiming that there is no evidence supporting either the view that U.S. climate has gotten worse, or that Elvis Presley had finally returned to Earth with a great new diet plan.
The report received a warm welcome from many politicians, lobbyists, government-funded scientists, insurance companies, media personalities, and Hollywood. “I can even see climate change in my back yard!” was a common refrain voiced by astute observers, presumably relying upon many decades of precise temperature measurements capturing the fraction of a degree temperature rise around their back patio on a NIST-calibrated Wal Mart thermometer.
Experts familiar with the mass hysteria outbreak have little hope that an antidote would be forthcoming any time soon. Said one psychologist who declined to be identified, “All we can hope is that the hysteria will run its course in the next several years as higher energy prices, brownouts, and blackouts set in.”
A little sarcasm makes light of a situation or brings home an obvious point but a whole article ridiculing the possibility of human caused climate anomalies is absurd. That dude should have a look in his rubbish bin before collection day and ponder where the human waste is going and growing!

Dismissing both sides ?? Not really TS.. Simply a clever little piece of fairy dust to sort of "surprise" a reader.
But no -- just a neat way to ridicule the whole issue.

Anyway who cares about Climate Change and what effects it may or may not have on billions of people. Isn't the whole point of society/economy at the moment the next quarterly earnings figure ?
Or alternatively the cutest cat video one can pass around ?
Or the latest celebrity story?
Obvious isn't it ? The rest is just Booooorrrinng !!
And the future can take care of itself like it always has.
Agenda 2014
The United States has unveiled a new regulation requiring the power sector to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030, one of the strongest actions ever taken by the US to combat global warming.
With hopes for major climate legislation long since vanished, it forms the centrepiece of the Obama administration's climate change strategy.
When finalised, what is being called the "super bowl of climate change" is expected to have an effect that extends far beyond the US.

Smurf, I don't think Hugo Chavez is doing very much right at this moment....
Perhaps simply a preference not to recognise it as such and rather another 'reason' to be indignant?Does not anyone recognise "satire" when they read it?
Yeah, right. Purely aspirational as far as I can see. Happy to be corrected. When he gets legislation through then I'll take it seriously.But what is this? Obama has decreed 30% reduction of Co2 emissions in the power sector?
Apparently all was entirely civil with Mr Obama agreeing Mr Abbott had a mandate to do so.
The disappointment for Labor and the Greens must be immense.
The useless point scoring is really progressive on here of late.
And do not be too concerned for the Greens, polling indicates 17 percent nationally and with the continued unseasonal weather, which few here would wish to change, we can expect the Green support to continue upwards.
Green support is continuing upward because they have become more populist, temporarily setting aside their obnoxious totalitarian socialist agenda in favour of power.
While the two majors stubble over themselves to look like idiots, they pick up some of the protest vote.... or have you not noticed PUP also doing well?
To do something about climate we need first to walk with feet on the ground.
Or maybe on water like JC.
