#2 Abolish the human race, and end anthropogenic global warming once and for all. What's not to like?

#3 How about if we start with abolishing the AGW crowd first - you know to kind of test the waters and make sure it'll work eh?

#6 How soon before watermelons march for anthropogenic nuclear war and demand taxes for more HEU?

#7 Ah yes, but the beneficial effects of nuclear war could be negated with cow flatulence. The only thing that can save us is for America to give all its wealth to the third world, become vegetarians, only ride bicycles, and to eliminate capitalism in favor of socialism. And kill everyone over 30 years of age, except for the elite, who are exempt from all the restrictions on everybody else.

#8 Someone missed the memo that nuclear winter theory has been thoroughly discredited.

#9 I thought the concept of nuclear winter had been around for a while. Careful now, this is NG quoting a group AAAS for the sociatal view of nuclear war.

Artists have been using the concept of gaist activism, as we call it now, in books and movies for a while now usually as a premise for world wide mayham - quick examples would be Soylant Green, 12 Monkeys, 28 Days Later. What is concerning is that here is an international AGW advocate framing the concept of a just war; likely a nuclear war againt an industrialized country or countries as they are the greenhouse producers if you will. Otherwise they would be talking about a series of detonations in no-man lands like deep sahara as a cure - they are talking about war. Such a scenario would, in that frame of mind, be most beneficial if there would be the maximum destruction of all contributers of named greenhouse gasses. That includes demand for cattle; people.

That is, many AGW followers are also anti-war at least at the surface.

#10 Has any of these morons even thought about the radioactive dust that would be thrown up in the air if this happens?

Great, no more GW but cancer for everyone! Yay!

#11 Who needs nukes, 1 or 2 volcanoes can put out more dust than we can generate with all of our nukes. Compared to nature, man's just a piker with an ego the size of a red giant while being a dirty brown dwarf.

Nukes, hah.

#12 That's it, Silentbrick!

We'll use your drilling expertise and our nukes to drill several holes down to the supervolcano at Yellowstone, blow the nukes and let nature do the rest!

No more global warming, no more USA and a huge population decrease due to mass starvation! A green fantasy! Brilliant!

#13 Got seaweed? Its what to eat after a nuclear war, and you can get it as it washes up on the beach- contains potassium iodide KI or KIO3 to lessen radioactivity uptake! DISCLAIMER: **results may vary** Side effects may include vomiting. Smirk.

#14 Got seaweed?

So the post-apocalyptic world will belong to the Japanese, the sushi-makers, and the cockroaches? ;-)
