Well, I tend to agree with you, except that you probably gave politicians too much credit...

You know what annoys me the most? Those commercials that say "Let's make the world a better place for our children". Fucking hypocrites. If you want to make the world a better place... Don't have them!

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Note that the actual guy in charge DID let the questions continue. It was underlings who were trying to cut him off.

Everything is falling to pieces in Copenhagen and we are doomed. Discuss.

So we had record snowfall a few days back. I thought "The climate change deniers are going to be all over this one..." but if any said anything, they're quiet now - all the snow's gone and it's sweater weather.

This is true. And if humanity manages to keep growing without wrecking the planet, it'll only be because life is made more and more miserable as we get crammed into smaller dwellings and pay a fortune for energy efficiency. In a morbid way, I think it's interesting that the cost of living (measured in hours of work) could be forced back up by all this.

Ah, I'm not touching that, conclusions drawn from observations with negligible statistical weight can be bad for your health!
As I'm sure Dabir knows, it's unfortunate that both sides fallaciously point at short-term events like this. Skeptics do it because they have little else, and greenies do it because the general public loses interest unless you have something tangible to show them.
In Australia, 2009 was our second warmest year on record (and it did actually feel that way), and the ten years just ended was the warmest decade. Over the past 70 years, each decade was warmer than the one that went before. These are the figures for an entire continent for most of a century, and they only point one way.

Here's an idea - giant floating cattle ranches out at sea
That'll solve the food problem
