North Atlantic Ocean not salty enough? Blame global warming. North Atlantic Ocean too salty? Blame global warming.

Global warming is best understood by the those smart environmentalists who aren’t hung up on inconvenient contradictions like we knuckle-draggers are.

There is something is this quote that sounds a good deal
more George Orwell and 1984. Like: Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.Posted by baslimthecripple on 2007 08 26 at 03:55 PM • permalink
#5 Arabs must all have first rate intelligences then. They have no trouble holding at the same time 1) the idea that the Mossad was behind 9/11 to blame the poor innocent Arabs for it and 2) the idea that it was a great victory for Muslims won by Al-Qaeda, whose Arab hijackers are martyrs.
Frankly, that sort of thinking doesn’t sound very first rate to me.

Get used to it Peter M. I can see no way Howard can win this one. Won;t that be just peachy?
Then all the little new age fairies will be out to play and massive government deficit spending will cure all possible ills for ever for everyone. Why, no child will live in poverty, nobody will be permitted to own a non-solar hot water system, the islamofascists will stop being terrorists and will all become shop
stewards, and all union leaders will live in Hunter’s Hill.The dumb bastards have even just announced that they will establish a British-style NHS. The shadow Health Minister to control this behemoth of death, disease, incompetence and waste has experience working for unions – and precious little else.
So she’ll be good at that, eh?
And the media is simply ignoring this stunning announcement. Let me tell you, the medico’s ain’t.
And what about the union tax on all non-union members the bastards will bring in? Not a peep.
Anyone who lived thru the Whitlam years understands what is coming. It will be very rough. And it will take decades to fix up the mess and the debts. Rudd? Nah.
The name is Ludd.
So start saving
, have a plan to survive a 50% interest rate rise and prepare for real domestic budgeting. And pray the recession does not kill your job.MarkL

Prohibition whiskey was, as I recall, a big help in managing this trick. But you’re really better off working out that one of those ideas has to be better than the other…

I can’t wait to see the “working class” rise in anger over the cost of the 60% greenhouse emission cuts we have to have. Once they realise it is a con, can you ever imagine they’ll vote greens or labor again?
Now that I think about it, I can see why climate change is being blamed for both sides of the weather / climate equation – they can’t lose!

Meh. Those boffins are just trolling for another grant. I’m beginning to think street hookers have better professional ethics than most scientists.
