more whining

"If the atmosphere was a 100 story building, our annual anthropogenic CO2 contribution today would be equivalent to the linoleum on the first floor," D'Aleo wrote.

I'm not quite sure how human activity is supposedly about to end the world, but with Bigger Al winning a Nobel prize and Hollywood producing scary movies about the impending end of civilization, this has gotten out of hand. My impression of the concept of fatalism is that people who are convinced of a certain act are likely to do what they can do to achieve it's purpose even if it's something they do not want. The net result of proposals like carbon taxes and carbon reduction without some ideas on how to replace energy production or, more importantly, reduce energy consumption GLOBALLY (not just in US), is in fact a possible cause of the end of civilization as we know it. An unreasonable solution based on an incomplete facet of a bigger picture is unlikely to bring about the salvation of mankind. I'm very tired of pointing this out.

But in the meantime, the blame thinking continues. Fears of depression, obesity, strokes and respiratory ailments all rising are now to be attributed to global warming. Obesity? I can understand strokes, heat exhaustion or respiratory function being impaired if the temperature goes up. But fat people? Give me a break people.
