Global warming... reminds me of when everyone was going batshit over El Nino.
Well, there's two sides. The environmentalists who say we're causing great harm with our greenhouse gases and heating up the earth and melting the polar ice caps and raising the water level and fucking shit up. I can agree that we're fucking shit up. That just goes with being human is seems.
But there's also the fact that... the earth could just be doing its normal thing without heed to us and our silly technology and interwebz. During the age of the dinosaurs the earth was warmer than it is now as well. Much warmer. I think people are more subtly worried about their own lives and how being on a warmer earth effects THEM rather than just the environment. We could all drop dead tomorrow and the Earth still might be 3 degrees warmer in 50 years. We'll never know. We only have data based on things we dug up since no one was around to stick a gauge in the air to measure the temperature, and even 100 years ago we didn't give a rat's ass in the first place.
