Global warming's rubbish
Global warming's rubbish.
I don't mean it's not happening, I mean the effects of it are crap. And I can't help feeling we've been duped. All those boffins going on about climate change and rising temperatures, making it sound like a bad thing. Everyone going "yeah, blimey, Britain will get warmer, eh? Yeah, that sounds really bad" but secretly thinking wahooooo! Outdoor swimming pool and al fresco living. Sure, we'd lose a few glaciers and some sea-side towns, but really, how bad would a warmer Britain be?
But it's not bloody like that and I think we should have been told. If we'd been told that what was meant by the cozy term "global warming" was not longer hotter summers and milder winters, but extreme weather patterns leading to the earth's climate becoming hostile and dangerous, we might have all taken it a tad more seriously.
I for one am now sick of flash-flooding, electrical storms, sudden spats of coldness, tornadoes, hail, oven-style temperatures and sudden and dramatic downpours. Is it too much to ask to want to know what shoes to put on in the morning?
Everyone, stop driving your bloody cars and spraying deodorant everywhere.

Don't own a car - can't even drive, don't want to, not interested - used roll-on deodorant for all my life, don't use ironing sprays, kitchen sprays, baking sprays, like sitting in darkened rooms, will put on a jumper before the heater, don't own a single CRT device, don't smoke. Do I get a gold star? Oops there's CO2 in beer - guess I'm going to hell after all.
We're all going to hell. Wouldn't mind but I hear the weather's bad there too.
Tell it to the Americans. Everyone there has 4 SUVs, 3 air conditioning systems and a Hummer in waiting. They don't believe in global warming, it seems.
Why not the Chinese? I don't think they "believe" in Global warming either (if you can lump a whole nation's people into one whole bucket of idealist slop then let's get it on).
"Everyone there has 4 SUVs, 3 air conditioning systems and a Hummer in waiting."
Fuck off idiot. Everyone?
Mind you I don't think it should be a matter of belief. Heard of science yet?
Try thinking numbknacker.
By the way Charlie...just been to your blog. Is that your house in the pictures. Fuck me I'm jealous. You lucky bastard!
Will you adopt me?
Speaking of aircon - anyone who runs aircon in the UK is certifiably insane.
Oh I don't know Hak. It would come in useful for all of six days a year.
And Will! Don't be rude to my guests. Don't think anyone'll be adopting you until you clean that potty mouth.
(that's my mom's saying (not exclusively, I realise). I'm a potty mouth because around her I use the word 'bloody' a lot)
What - the six actual days my blood thaws out? We've had two - I'm waiting for the other four...
Sorry. Was in a bad mood last night.
Here's some reading material for reducational purposes (pdf)...
Five centuries of shared history were reified into an abstract rejection of the past: the Atlantic ocean came to symbolize the divide between a bad modernity and an idealized present. The philosopher Martin Heidegger reflected the depth of such distorted
worldviews when he lamented, "the surrender of the German essence to Americanism has already gone so far as on occasion to produce the disastrous effect that Germany actually feels herself ashamed that her people were once considered to be 'the people of poetry and thought.'" For him and many others the development of modern mass culture on the WestCoast of the US epitomized all that was wrong with modernity.
A Brit's idea of extreme weather is an inch-and-a-half of snow, isn't it?
an inch-and-a-half of snow IS extreme. isn't it?
like the definition of a heatwave is two or more days of weather strung together when coats can be left at home and everyone walks around going "i like hot, but this is too hot" as if we live in the med or something when really, as Hak says, it only just gives us time to thaw.
(Will, that PDF looks like fun. If I was going on holiday this year I'd probably take it to read on the beach)
I think the world has gone bonkers. Global warming was going to happen even if we still lived in caves.
The Earth is just like a woman, Hormonal.
You didn't here the dinosaurs complaining did you. (just think of the tans we would get)
Yes it is a shame that the extreme weather certain places are having but it was not caused by me just because i drive a car. The media just likes to scare the public. Thats what they do best.
Yes i think that we should use things in moderation (American's) like buying smaller cars and not using too much perfume and body sprays (but dont give up otherwise you may smell), but i just think that if we all start reverting back to candles instead of using electricity people would moan about candle fumes instead. The world is going to moan whatever you do.
I think that people should start looking after themselves before the Earth. Start walking, not to save the planet, but to lose some weight and get fitter. Then you may be able to do something about the Earth.
