Pharrell Williams: “Happiness Is Your Birthright”

The gloomsayers tell us that somehow all this warmth will dry up the world too. Seems to me that it would step up evaporation from the oceans. We’d have cloudier weather on average. And adequate rainfall. And with all the extra CO2, we have a greener world. It’s enough to ask the dinosaurs to return, almost.

Happiness might be yer birthright, but tackiness is what you settled for.

[COBOL2Java]

One may hold whatever opinion they wish, however misinformed. It’s a free country.

[HiTech RedNeck]

s’excuse, s’accuse?

[MeshugeMikey]

Our First TRULY Tacky American President

[dennisw]

I’d be happy too if I was worth 80 million like this little putz

[nascarnation]

So he’s one of Baraq’s “millionaires and billionaires” eh?

(His residence of record is Florida...SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[Fungi]

Weird Al does a better rendition than the tattooed “happy one.”

[Fungi]

Yes.

The "Experts" have no clue as to what atually would, or would not, happen in the event of a significant climate change.

Their models don't work and their predictions have all been flops.

The only thing they do know with certainty is that their government money will dry up if they don't go along with the program.

[9thLife]

I dig it. Weird Al is so on top of his game.

[bgill]

I’m not happy with the usurper.

“..all this warmth will dry up the world too.”

Cooling dries things up - more water locked up in the ice. I’m not sure if it was noticible during the “Little Ice Age” - I’m sure the colder temperatures were the main thing.

But, get ice shields a mile thick over Chicago, and that is a lot of trapped water. Most of the world would be cold and dry.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well it seems strange that people should be complaining about greenhouse effects of human generated CO2 without expecting the benefits that can be had from a greenhouse.

Rise in sea levels could push civilization inland. It still beats being under a mile of glacier all hollow. Who says we are excused from the threat of climate change to the colder? If we could miraculously choke away all our CO2 that could be Gaia’s punch line.

[Starstruck]

No. The pursuit of happiness is your birthright.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“International Day of Happiness”

Can it get any more Orwellian????

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Mr. Pharrell is a bit short in the history and philosophy departments. A good essay on the meaning of "the pursuit of happiness" is at " What the Declaration of Independence really means by 'pursuit of happiness'. It's an excellent interview with religion professor Brent Strawn of Emory University, June 30, 2014

[cripplecreek]

Happiness is something we have to find for ourselves.

[trisham]

Exactly right.

[9thLife]

FReepers of good taste would especially appreciate Foil.
