you know the wax doesn't go on our heads

Of course, it goes on your dolphin.

Why didn't people question the hole in the ozone layer as not true. The general public accepted it and we banned cfc to repair it.And it's almost completely repaired.
But so many people are against global warming an deny it's happening.Why are people not believing this yet so accepting of the hole in ozone layer?
I'm curious

That’s easy, because the merkins reflected upon the science and solution and once they realised that the problem would be solved with no change of lifestyle or additional cost to them, they retreated. It also progressed without a hitch because there were no industry lobby groups fuelling scare campaigns with misinformation.

 

[Noise]

what do you think ?

I think we are using the planet’s resources too quickly and have problems with over population across the world, but are we seeing climate change (formerly known as global warming) caused by us? I have my doubts.

no change in lifestyle, agree, but it has had a cost effect in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry

I agree over population is one of the contributing factors. Its has to be caused by us doesn't it ? we're the only ones here. There wouldn't be so many cows farting if we didn't grow them for consumption.

The way I see it, if all the greenies/lefties are wrong, at least we have a nicer planet to live on

If the right wing conservatives are wrong, we're in deep shit

 

[T.S Quint]

Btw
Anyone else see that India yogi on Sbs last night. He wrapped his dick around a pole. Spun it and rolled it up 3 times around the stick/pole. Then placed the stick behind his buttocks. Literaly steps over the stick so his dick has now back flipped and then proceeds to do squats...

You may have just been watching one of @strider’s home movies.

Not necessarily. Climate changes have happened before humans were around too.

Bingo. It’s all upside.

That vegan shit is not good for you.

Not necessarily. Climate changes have happened before humans were around too.

Generally driven by large scale events, though.

Not many of those lately.

yeh true, there were no humans around then to report back to us on what caused the Ice age

 

[Twizzle]

And we are not likely to have another ice age, too much global warming

Some of those events were due to glaciers melting in particular areas. Are we not seeing glaciers melt now?

The ice age isn’t the only one. There have been other instances of ‘global warming’ in history. And in turn the planet has also cooled following these ‘warming’ phases.

Not me. I roll my dick up 4 or 5 times

I believe the world can correct imbalances ... but not when its an over populated shit hole like now .... its got limits

We need some aliens to drop in and wipe out a chunk of us

 

[Bazal]

Yeah but there were things that caused glaciers to melt. They don't just melt on their own.

Millions of years ago it was usually meteors or large scale volcanic events. Evolution played a part too; eg when plants first evolved on land they created an ice age, and the Carboniferous period saw a large scale climate change as plant life exploded and altered the composition of the atmosphere.

This time we're the event, for more reasons that just big bad CO2...that's pretty clear.

With the hole in the ozone layer so small these days it might be hard for the aliens to find the entry point.

Yeah! All those volcanos, dinosaurs and stuff we see in the movies like 'One Million Years BC'.

I was referring to the Younger Dryas event. As far as I’m aware there were no meteors, volcanos that caused it (though I could be wrong)
