#2 The Guardian is only printed on paper from trees that died of natural causes.

Besides, us Murcans are gonna be wiped out in the tsunami of 2007, so the earth's resources only have to last another two years or so.

#8 ...backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields...

I will bet thaqt Zero of them are leaders in real earth science or even work in earth science.

Water withdrawals from lakes and rivers has doubled in the last 40 years. Humans now use between 40% and 50% of all available freshwater running off the land

And what the hell is wrong with that?

Earth to idiots: the planet is a closed system. Water doesn't escape into space or anything. Humans and animals take water in, use some of it for nourishment and hydration, and then either breathe or pee the rest of it out. It evaporates back up into clouds which then rain/snow/sleet water back to earth. Some of the water is locked into ice sheets and glaciers; the amount changes depending on the season.

So what exactly is the problem?

Other than these moonbats are idiots of the first order, that is.

I'm dying to see Steve Milloy fisk this piece of crap.

#13 RE: the direction sign of Doom. Why are they picking on Fairbanks, winter ice fog capital of the US?

No used water for us up here! No sir! We only drink newly minted water. From virgin hydrogen and oxygen molecules we make the finest dihydrogen oxide. Ya wanna live in a sewer, go swim in the sea. Yep!

#14 AP, I combine dihydrogen oxide with some CH3CH2OH (C2H6O) to give it a bit of edge. Some other compounds as well, their composition is a trade secret. Yum.;-)

#16 You must be careful how you extract the Carbon atoms, 2x4. You must only borrow them from CO2 molecules, otherwise the Feng Shui is all f**ked up.
