Time has jumped on the global warming bandwagon like chicken little screaming the sky is falling. They have a neat little infographic describing the "trouble spots", with the US is listed as public enemy number one. They have a huge graphic of a fireball right over Missouri, and have us listed as producing more "greenhouse" gases than any other country in the world. They also list CO2 production levels produced in all the "trouble spots", and state that arctic ice melting will cause the oceans to rise and flood coastlines around the globe.
Since when did CO2 become a bad thing? Years ago it was CFCs, now it's CO2, which is something that every human produces. Am I supposed to feel guilty for breathing. Perhaps I shouldn't exercise, because that produces a lot more CO2 than if I lounge around on the couch. CO2 is what plants breath, and increased levels will cause plant life to flourish. Also, where do they get off spreading lies about the oceans rising? The Arctic ice cap floats on the Arctic Ocean. It is like a large floating ice cube in a glass of water. When the ice melts, the water level remains the same. I'm tired of these environmental wackos that have the arrogance and ignorance to think that we have so much power to fuck up the world.
Next they'll be wanting us to do something to stop plate tectonics. North America and Asia are going to collide with each other in several billion years. We should act now to stop this cataclysmic collision.
