TICKING TIME BOMB
Posted December 15, 2008 by Shakti Sombrero
I don't know what kind of nasty black tar Indoles has been shooting down there in the previous post, but not only is global warming still barreling down on us like a train, it's a full on TICKING TIME BOMB READY TO EXPLODE ON YOUR FACE. Ace AP reporter Seth Borenstein, hero to hardcore environmentalists, brings us another editorial masquerading as news along with a healthy dose of moronic scaremongering:
Obama left with little time to curb global warming
WASHINGTON (AP) — When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. Now it is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid.
...
Global warming is accelerating. Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.
...
Scientists are increasingly anxious, talking more often and more urgently about exceeding "tipping points."
"We're out of time," Stanford University biologist Terry Root said. "Things are going extinct."
...
Gore called the situation "the equivalent of a five-alarm fire that has to be addressed immediately."
...
Scientists fear that what's happening with Arctic ice melt will be amplified so that ominous sea level rise will occur sooner than they expected.
That's grade-A journalism right there! A tip of my cap to Mr. Borenstein for managing to squeeze more fearmongering into a single article than I've seen in a quite a while.
Ironically, 2008 is on pace to be a slightly cooler year in a steadily rising temperature trend line. Experts say it's thanks to a La Nina weather variation. While skeptics are already using it as evidence of some kind of cooling trend, it actually illustrates how fast the world is warming.
Whoa whoa whoa Seth, time to sip a nice glass of hemp juice and just calm down...we're done here.
