Weather Channel founder wants to sue Al Gore
axerton:
Ok, in a very simplistic view on our future, depending on global warming existing or not there are four options
1: Global warming was all just a big hoax and we do nothing about it.
Result: We go on living just as we have, though eventually we run out of fossil fuels.
2: Global warming was all just a big hoax, but we act as if it wasn't.
Result: Our quality of living deteriorates for a while, but we are now attached to a renewable energy sauce.
3: Global warming exists and we act to counter it
Result: similar to 2
4: Global warming exists and we do nothing about it
Result: Life as we know it is wiped out.
Now I know 1 is the ideal option there. But personally I would much prefer to do something about it and end up with option 2 or 3, than end up with 4 because we were too busy praying it would be 1.
Inlander:
Precautionary principle, basically.

Why is 1 the ideal option?
I'd have thought 2 would be better, given the inevitable depletion of resources and consequent price rises, which we're already seeing.

Seriously?
Which one did you find amusing? Was it the one where Kerry is swiftboated? The one where a furious Uncle Sam punches a mosque into dust? I put a link on the last one to give it some context because there was a similar situation! Was that the funny one?
I genuinely don't find any of those funny in the least. A few of them are actually jokeless.
Leinad:
Well the one where they completely ignored everything good about Islam struck me as amusing, having been on the receiving end of that as a(erstwhile) Christian, and the one about the Weather Channel was kinda funny, mostly because my mom raises chickens, and if you anthropomorphised them this is exactly how they would act.
And yeah, the "holy place" one was funny because it reminds me of playing tag when I was a kid. One of the kids who was "it" got really pissed off at all the teasing and beat seven kinds of hell out of the slowest kid.
