#1 Darwin Award territory?

This line makes me think it's a satire/hoax though:

"At least James died for something he believed in", said Mrs. Schneider. "He died while trying to raise awareness of the enormous toll that global warming is taking on the Earth."

What better way to raise awareness of warming that by freezing?

#2 I am partial to awarding the "dumbest thing ever said" award to the grieving missus: " "He kept talking about when they 'get down to chili', and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies",
anybody got a picture of her: bet she's a blonde.

#3 ...pilot, Jimmy Dolittle.

This has been a test of the Emergency Bullshit System. Please calibrate your detectors accordingly, using these EcoEnquirer articles:

Penguins "Fed Up" With Media Attention

EPA to Mandate Reductions in Emissions from Volcanoes

California Town Bans Tsunamis

Evidence of Hurricanes Before Global Warming?

#4 Sounds like hims and the missus may have had some personal or communication probs, or she seriously flunked Geography 101, given the overwhelming difficulties in saying "South Pole" or "South Pole Ice Sheet/Cap, Honeymuffin", in the Queen's English. Five-or-less short words, or lack thereof, have officially killed a man.

#6 Not only that, Angie, but look at this:

http://www.ecoenquirer.com/Bush-jets-and-Katrina.htm.

"Did Bush Jets Influence Hurricane Katrina?"

I hope this is satire.

#7 I'm with Angie. This stuff is tongue firmly in cheek.

If you'd like to see how stupid an environmentalist can actually be, check out the documentary "Grizzly Man" from your local Blockbuster. You will not believe it. My wife said it was almost like 'Reno 911' as brilliant satire but it's real!

#8 I saw the headline, Phil, but was disappointed by the article. Not subtle enough. I was hoping that it would be something like: Authentic TANG documents provided by Lucy Ramirez prove that F-102 jets, such as those flown by President Bush in his youth, are the sole source for today's global warming.

#9 Assuming those jets are the same distance from the camera as the eye wall, and the eye wall is about ten miles wide... how big are the jets?

#10 Yup Phil I was thinking the same thing them damn jets must be freaking hugh. :)

#11 The Super Hurricane Jets are just another secret in the Rove-Cheney-Haliburton conspiracy.

You all are destined for a visit from the black helicopters now!

#14 "At least James died for something he believed in", said Mrs. Schneider. "He died while trying to raise awareness of the enormous toll that global warming is taking on the Earth."

Activist and Journalist, what no attorney? This really is the stuff of internet humour. Thanks for the insightful message Linda. (why do I have a mental pic of Mother Sheehan right now?). Most of us will eventually "die having done something we believed in." But most of us are not careless and stupid.

#15 If you Google "global warming activist James Schneider," this is the only article about him that comes up.

#17 Well, without Schneider's output of hot air, global warming should now be alleviated. Wait a minute! I've got an idea!

#18 Funny thing is, even though articles from this site have been linked at RB before (and, thus, I knew it was satire), I read the thing and thought, this could be printed in NY Slimes any day now as Gospel Truth(tm).

#19 Now if he had called it "climate change" instead of "global warming" LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO NOW, he'd still be dead but he wouldn't look as stupid.(yeah, I know it's fake)

#22 It's a satire, nobody is that stupid. OK, maybe Cynthia McKinney, and Mel Gibson, and Cindy "I gained 5 lbs on my hunger strike" Sheehan ... but not that many people are that stupid.
