An Inconvienient Truth, - Global Warming

[PMC]

Nuclear Fusion and nuclear fission are two separate things entirely.  The former promises cheap energy and reduced radioactive waste having long been a holy grail for cheap and renewable energy.

That puppy just got another kick in the guts.

Talk about completely missing the point.
:roll:

the former vice president invests in enough renewable energy to make up for the home's power consumption.

Let's hope Mars warms up enough for all the dry ice to sublime and maybe the increase in temperature and surface pressure might liberate some water. That'd get the terraforming crowd all excited ;-)

Speed up terraforming, hit Mars with an asteroid.

These are available, unless they hit earth first. :-P

Asteroid "2003 QQ47"  potential strike date March 21, 2014

>>>"carbon offset scam"

Al Gore buys his carbon offsets from himself.

Looks like there could be plenty of water to liberate too...

When the viking probes subjected the martian soil to heat and water vapour, a considerable quantity of (presumably chemically bound) oxygen was released.

Should knock a comet, preferably one rich in tholins and what not, into a collision path with the place :lol:

With a comet Mars could even be repositioned to a closer orbit!

Green Beer:

Take a "Koelsch" glass (0.2 litre), fill one small finger's breadth of "Curacao Blue" in it and fill up the rest with beer (preferably Koelsch).

You'll end up with a "toxic green" looking beer - and if you happen to have more than 4-5 glasses of it, the night might become interesting...
 :-D  :-D  :-D

Aaaah, so that was the junk I had in Berlin 12 years ago.

Ah!  My college Rugby team had a variation on that called a "Green {bleep}".

Take one pint glass, add a shot of Vodka and a shot of Blue Curacao.  Fill the rest of the glass with Kronenburg or Lowenbrau (Loony Brew) and serve.

This was usually followed by frequent baring of one's derriere and the singing of lewd songs.

@Dandy, does it have a similar effect on your side of the North Sea?

The programme claimed to lay bare all the fallacies that have created the "great myth" that is man-made global warming. However, the programme itself was riddled with holes. We mention a few of these issues below, and provide links to other websites that have done a good job of outlining the programme's flaws.
As New Scientist's editor, Jeremy Webb, put it: previously climate sceptics were seen to deconstruct the arguments of climate change scientists. What was different about last week's documentary was that it constructed a complete argument to explain why our planet's climate is changing - in essence, variations in solar activity.

We had a similar one in days gone by "The Green Monster":

Half pint of super-park-bench-wino-strength white cider
Half a pint of Warstarter(Warsteiner) or Special Brew (I love you, yes I do, gonna spend all my money on you!)
Shot of Vodka (or window cleaner ;-))
Shot of Blue Curacao.

Drink 4 of them in a row, if you live you are harder than me! :lol:

You can bet on that!
(Even without the Vodka!)
