The patent office just approves anything that gets in for the past... well at least twenty years? It's seriously broken. Apple has a design patent on rectangles with rounded corners, approved recently.

The thing with the ice sheets melting is that its basically become a point of no return thing. See, part of what the poles matter is that the ice they have actually reflects sunlight away (being sheer white and all). But, if they've melted into sea water, then that water is capable of absorbing and retaining the heat, which in turn raises temperatures and further enables more ice to melt, rather than the water re-solidifying. Antarctica then has the caveat that, as an actual landmass simply buried under ice, rather than a huge chunk of ice simply covering a continent sized area, the water runs off and thus can't be back in place to freeze over the same area again. Long story short, we really should have been paying attention. And of course, for all the politicians talking about oh they'll let the next generation deal with it, I am arguably in that generation, so I say: Screw them for leaving the mess to us. Edit: Please tell me this gets on either show tonight. Seems perfect with the apparent environment theme. Astro Nut fucked around with this message at 13:18 on May 15, 2014 |

Not paying attention has never been the problem. Corporations with deep enough pockets to convince the world that there's nothing we need to pay attention to is the problem.

I think the easiest way to put Global Warming into perspective is to simply say it's been ten loving years since An Inconvenient Truth. Of course things are much, much worse.

If people just called the thing Climate Change like they should you'd have less dumb fuckers making that stupid joke about how it's snowing in Alabama so Global Warming can't be possible.  Just to say "poo poo's changing, yo, and it's because of us that it's happening so quickly and we're not equipped to handle it, so let's slow down and think this through."

Strange Quark posted:Wasn't climate change a term invented by Republican spinster Frank Luntz to make global warming sound less severe though? Yes, but it's a better description of what the results are: not merely warming, but a complete destruction of temperate zones. Hence record lows and extended blizzards despite the overall yearly temperature being a record-breaking high 8 years out of 10.
