Hold on now. People in Arkansas take their weddings serious.

#7 human activity? I think all those belching, farting cows may have something to do with it too.....

#8 This has got to be wrong. No changes occurred until Bush assumed control of the world's climate in January 2001. It's been all downhill since then.

#9 This reminds me of one Larry Niven's novels that is online in a downloadable form--Fallen Angels. Situated in near future, sci environuts get blamed for causing an ice age and unfortunately, public opinion has turned violently against scientists and science in all forms as a consequence.

#10 CF... Remember Pres. Reagan once said Cows were causing some of the global warming. The lefty elites laughed. But, he turned out to be right...

So, I propose this. Vegetarians have to eat fewer beans a source of protein, and give up their ways. They are causing global warming by their diet!

Am I right?

#11 LOL, BE, you've invoked this image of spotted vegetarian slowly crushing the greenery between teeth all day long. Udderly awesome!

#12 I can't recommend Fallen Angels. It struck me as pretty sloppy and self-indulgent and larded with "in-references". They had too much fun writing it--they've done much better. Nice description of the Greens, though.

#13 Sobiesky - Re: Vegans... Require them to take Beano as a Federally Mandated Daily Supplement.

Secret Rove Memo:
Once we've got them eating Beano, we buy GSK via a front company and we begin adding Soma to the formula. Gradually, we ween them from CNN with the VR Moron News (indistinguishable from the original) and then give then a taste of wireheading. It won't be long until they're begging for a permanent connection... soon they're meat puppets who don't reproduce. Viola!

Good luck talking to them, BigEd. They think their sh*t doesn't stink.

#15 It appears to me from looking at that map and chart that, if we cut back on global warming, a lot of those blue states will get covered in glaciers. It just might be worth it.
