save mankind from self-destruction.

These people truly have a Messiah complex. In their minds, the earth is doomed without them.

How about we plant a huge Space Fern on the moon? Or orbiting plant hangers? Not only will they suck up the CO2, they'll give this dreary old world some ambience, and please the metrosexual crowd.

"Maybe they will hang when the global cooling kicks in."

Did you allow your "Big Brother Propaganda Machine" subscription to expire?

Global cooling is global warming. Rain is global warming, as is snow. Ice building in Greenland and Antarctica is also global warming. Polar bears sunning themselves on the tundra is also global warming.

And finally, Mars is warming because the exhaust from SUVs is escaping through the ozone hole and attaching itself to Mars.

Paraphrasing Rush, when the Libs start screaming and hollering that the 'Pubbies are doing something bad it usually means that the Dims are the ones actually doing it.

Sorry for not being clear. This scream will be directed at Al Gore when global cooling kicks in. "You LIED to us!! YOU PREYED ON OUR FEARS!"

And vast, trackless stretches of Siberian tundra ...

... will become farmlands.

I don't think there's anything more dangerous than a nitwit with a lot of money.

Hey Branson, you genius, why don't you offer a prize for people to extract the REAL greenhouse gas -- water vapor?? (Oh, that's right, we already have that -- it's called rain)

Technically, those are cooling towers, not nuclear power plants.

At least we'll be able to turn the carbon sinks off when the ice age hits.

You are right. I can do it today but the carbon footprint is about 10,000 times the removal rate. Now if I only had a reactor to power it then we could ....naw.

I got it! Shut down Virgin Airlines first and then all the airlines. Just think of the waste they are putting into our atmosphere.

[...to come up with a way of scrubbing greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere in the battle to beat global warming.]


If he builds a way of scrubbing CO2 out of the atmosphere, what will happen to all the innocent plants?

It's amazing people take these "scientist" to heart.
