Noah, Wherefore Art Thou?

Posted by monza gorilla , 28 July 2007 · 28 views

This one follows on quite neatly from the "Are We Insane?" entry. Here in the UK, as some may have noticed, there has been quite a lot of flooding. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's global warming! It must be! Al Gore says so. So does Madonna. It's true! But. Let's look at it rationally as opposed to hysterically. Rain falls from the sky. It lands on the ground. It percolates into the ground. Unless some blockhead has built eleventy squillion houses and the mother of all car parks on it. Rain has a hard job percolating through concrete and asphalt. Does no one ever learn?

:huh: I didn't get it!

What has global warming to do with percolation?

Exactly! Nothing at all!
It's one of Steve's anal orgies. Something bad happens (the floods) and instead of saying "ah, how stupid we were to concrete over the land so that the water couldn't soak away, and how stupid we were to build on known flood plains, and how stupid we were not to upgrade the storm drainage systems", we immediately blame it on something convenient like global warming.

And before global warming we blamed it on God punishing us for our sins... we never were a rational race were we? Science was supposed to be the new 'rational thinking' but even that has turned into the same ol' sugar coated bulls##t. I wonder when we'll move onto something new, or whether we will revert to old.

Weren't aliens gunna kill us?  Wasn't the sun gunna come too close to the Earth and we'd all die?  Don't unibrows mean you have syphillis?

You mean...SCIENCE WAS WRONG?!  No way.

The world's gunna end in a couple billion years when the sun explodes like it's supposed to.  The end.

The government's just tricking us into thinking this so we spend all our money on new hybrid cars and new light bulbs and blah blah blah.

You Brits have concrete? I thought it was all cobblestones and forests like the old Robin Hood movies.

One amusing note about 'global warming'....I love how cars spewing carbon monoxide gets confused with naturally occurring carbon dioxide. To think, all this hub-ub over one little oxygen molecule....Yes, we are an insane race. Give 'er over to the cockroaches I say.
