Pirates disrupting climate change research

I understand why our Navy is helping keep the scientists safe but deep inside the dark places of Pan_Yan's heart he wishes he could see another outcome.

[Nervous Tick]

I don’t see what the big deal is. Just make up some data from the no-go area. It’s what “climate” scientists do everywhere, anyhow...

[Little Ray]

I’m still trying figure out why we don’t sink the “motherships” and machine gun the survivors in the water, then lay waste to the coast of Somalia.

[nuconvert]

lol.

[MrB]

Pirates?

“Muslim Pirates”

[MsLady]

LOL....that’s hilarious and oh so true.

[MrB]

Satan’s minions stepping on one another’s toes.

[Mobties]

Exactly!

And with that thought in mind, why don’t we just discontinue all these this junk science “research”?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Brush up on your Differential equations people!

if Piracy stops Global Warming research AND the number of pirates leads to an increase in Global Warming, the total system behavior is probably going to require some fairly complex DiffEqs!

[Redleg Duke]

What???? You want to solve the problem?????

You obviously didn't get the memo!

[Reeses]

[Red Badger]

Exactly. Piracy has been around ever since man first set out on the seas. The penalty for piracy has always been death. Instant. Fast. No questions asked.

But we are so ‘civilized’ today to the point that we as a species have become a danger to ourselves by not recognizing the dangers all around us and reacting accordingly......

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Ooops sorry - temperature increases as the log of #pirates Decreases - yikes this is confusing!!!

[Pan_Yan]

Reeses put up a prettier graph but 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten got it posted first. I’ll wait for the pie charts and the addition of a time component before I decide on a winner.

[DejaJude]

Global warming is caused by pirates? Then it would be man-made.

[Pan_Yan]

If you look at the graph temperature goes up as the number of pirates goes down, which would not only explain the drop in temperature the last decade it tells us we have a worldwide shortage of pirates.

[rhombus]

Don't worry, the Chinese navy will keep he seas safe from piracy.... or maybe the Russians.... hahahahhahahaha ;-)

[KarlInOhio]

Someone needs to tell Grand Admiral Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherds that the Somali pirates are hunting whales. Then we can see how the pirates cower in fear to spud guns, stinky butter and moderate speed one engine drive bys.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

What? Are they cutting down Rain Forrest trees to make their peg legs?

[DejaJude]

oops! Maybe Obama will hire pirates as part of his green jobs platform.
