F*ck that. My global warming threads are better.

One thread is about melting glaciers and warming ocean temperatures.

The other one is about droughts and weather.

Yeah, it's weird because the weather has been constant all over the planet until just recently.

Interesting. Between these threads causing warming and the energy-drain of the healthcare threads causing cooling, this forum is causing climate change.

I'm starting to think that ignorant pro-global-warming people are just as annoying as ignorant anti-global-warming people.

In other news, in the UK, "climate change belief" has now been given the same legal status as religion.

Climate change belief given same legal status as religion - Telegraph
In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Michael Burton said that "a belief in man-made climate change ... is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations"
Which means that people in the UK can't be forced to pay green taxes any more, since it's against the law to force religion or belief onto people.

Sweet.

Im sorry but the correct answer is the majority of weather and temperatures as we know them are dictated by the temperature of the ocean currents.

I find it interesting the type people who call everyone else ignorant and see themselves as one of the only sources of common sense; and when they don't have an answer to something they, without fail, always resort to a drunken frat boy like answer to appear cool... saddly, even on the internet to people they don't know.
