This time they're seriousth
The science behind global change/climate warming/excessive farts trapped in a greenhouse is sound, but sensationalist stuff like this doesn't really help advance the cause. It just allows people to say that they remember hearing this 15 years ago, and they're not underwater yet.
I watched this video about rising sea levels. The guy was saying you will find a ton of retired US Navy living in Arkansas/Missouri Ozarks because they were told by the Navy that is the safest place for when sea levels wipe out East Coast and chaos ensues.
Long story short, the guy said the cause wasn't global warming but the arrival of Nibiru and gravitational effects on Earth.

Kinda reminds me the opening monologue to Escape From LA..
for whatever reason I'm more concerned with rising temperatures triggering the earth doing a giant 180 and making one of those Ice Age things happen

Man, your ability to take both sides there means you should work for NASA. :thumbsup:

Actually, I already posted this article in the appropriate thread. Your thread actually.

LOL. I don't even read that thread anymore since it's way out of context of the original post.
