This Cracks Me Up

October 13th 2007 15:16
OK, normally I wouldn't comment on someone elses blog post (at least here on Orble), thats what the comments are for. However the sheer stupidity of this one post makes me really want to comment on it, simply to show how narrow minded some people can be.

My response (also in the comments on said blog post) is as follows:

You're probably finding it harder and harder to refute the evidence so you're trying to shift positions as if to adopt without adopting, how could you agree with a 'liberal'? If you care to look at it from a less than biased and personal perspective you might come to the conclusion that your reasoning is in fact wrong.


First off, people are going off hungry not because there isn't enough food in the world. The reasons (note plural) are much more complex than that and it goes from corporate greed to war to climate change.

Second of all, the increasing temperatures is causing a lot of head aches for farmers. We already have a massive drought problem here in Australia. Farmers are barely getting by yet you claim they should be thriving.

Finally, and most obviously, the amount of food produced on a farm is not dependent on time. You can't have 'more' harvests in the same season. Crops grow throughout the year and are only harvested when in season. I don't understand what makes you think longer seasons mean more harvest, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Naturally I'm not taking an ultimatum approach here, there is some validity in her argument though claiming that "Climate Change might very well be the greatest blessing that mankind could hope for" is a bit of a stretch. The writer seems to be at war with herself considering the amounting evidence against her cause. Considering she spent about 80% of the post explaining how she doesn't believe in 'globull warming' it would seem that she's only trying to convince herself.

Please understand when I say 'liquid' I mean *any* liquid. Absoloutely any kind of liquid that isn't going to corrode the metallic casing of this battery is going to charge it. The battery comes in AA and AAA variants and is sold in Japan, it can be recharged for up to 500 mAh. To put that in perspective a regular alkaline battery has about 1700 mAh in it.

Well it's a start, thats for sure, but what does the future hold? Well Samsung claims to have "developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on H20.". Now thats big news, and Samsung plans to put its money where it's mouth is when it releases mobile phones that use this technology. Awesome.

Suddenly dropping your phone down the toilet doesn't sound all that bad, eh?

Is That a Pink Dolphin!?

July 5th 2007 03:51
The dolphin is known as the Chinese White Dolphin, they are black at birth, turn grey, then greyish pink, then white. They are also dangerously close to extinction. What about that eh? Multicoloured dolphins going extinct before most people even know anything about them.

World Vision Lies

June 29th 2007 13:30
It disgusts me the way something revolving around charity has been commercialized to the point you have to throw some big concert to get any attention for whatever cause. Though in a way, I'm glad it's like that, you gotta spend money to make money, and not money to use to help the starving children in Sudan either.

Come on people, you see them on TV, every so often they have western names like 'Jackson' or 'Michael', don't forget the kids speak a sort of broken english. Right, born into poverty in the middle of no where, no previous education and suddenly you learn english. How much do teachers cost up there? Can we have them imported down here? Don't give me the 'volunteers' crap either, I'm sorry but plane tickets aren't free, nor is feeding and sheltering them over an extended period of time as they teach english to people whose language they can't even speak

If Global Warming Was Not Real

Jesus is Coming - Look Busy
Can We REALLY Wait Up For Jesus?
If it were a non-issue, if it weren't the cause of man, would we be able to sit back and relax? Well no, because us pot smoking hippy's will point our fingers at the great barrier reef, at the Amazon rainforest, at the increasingly larger number of endangered animals.

Of course we'd be shunned by the right wingers, who'll dismiss our claims as an empty sham, a political agenda to bring back Nazism or kill three billion people (somehow). They'll say we did not follow the peer review or 'proper science' (which ironically we did), then they'll go back to their homes and teach their kids how the T-Rex ate coconuts and 'Jesus is coming - look busy

This is one of those things that can easily be understood if you think about it for more than two minutes.

Ice is less dense than water, it's an interesting phenomenon with H20 where its V structure forces it to expand as it solidifies. Hence if you have an ice cube in water as the ice cube melts the water level decreases

Volcano
Booyah!
This is either a myth or volcano's are really, really good at covering up their tracks. I've heard some really crazy estimations, some say 'a recent volcanic eruption emitted more carbon dioxide than a whole decade of human activity'. I know when arguing with certain folks means you're not going to get straight answers or proof to back up claims, so I decided to do a little bit of research and rational thinking of my own.

Looking at Sampling Stations from across planet earth there was not one abnormal spike, surely if a volcano is going to blow well over 241 million metric tons of carbon dioxide someone would notice it, you'd pretty much be able to smell the sucker (or choke on it

People interviewed in this movie are all apparently credible, respected scientists who use cold hard facts to disprove global warming, they also want to sue the film makers sorry ass.

But why? Because their words were taken out of context to make people think that Global Climate Change is not a very real issue. The film maker got these scientists, interviewed them, twisted their words as he saw fit, put it in a documentary and said 'hey what the hey, I swindled these folks to make my movie seem credible

Solar Power to One Up Its Dirty Brothers

February 20th 2007 16:29
One cheer for good common sense and one hard kick on oil corporations mighty fine rear ends.

In five years time solar power will be cheap enough to realistically compete with its dirty brothers and sisters even in Britain where it rains constantly

May I borrow a line from the conservative writer, Andrew Bolt? ‘They’ve already lost, they just don’t know it, like the Japanese soldiers still holding out on the Kokoda track as Japan surrenders’ (sic). Such is the way of the ignorant conservatives who forcefully bend science via politics and think it magically solves the issues of global warming.

It doesn’t, as of writing the only ‘credible’ scientists who are refuting global warming being caused by humans are being paid $10,000 by oil corps, the other bunch who are refuting it believe the apocalypse will happen before global warming drastically changes planet earth as we know it
