Global Warming = Giant Lobsters! Yum!

Someone go tell Steven King, that the lobstrosities in his Dark Tower series are on their way.

If you want to know the reality of global warming check this out.

I saw this, but wondered when they said they're not certain if body mass will grow along with shell size. Hopefully...om nom nom.

The real question is, how good will they taste?

why? because CO2 and CO are both 1.5 times heavier than the atmospheric gas mix. this theory disproves CO2 as a greenhouse gas.....carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are too heavy to reach the upper atmosphere and create a blanket that traps heat. Venus does it with a super elevated NH3 constituent of it's atmosphere.

The question is: Will they grow bigger and be delicious -- or will they grow really big and find us delicious?

This raises an interesting question I have only considered recently: What if the AGW hypothesis is generally correct, might it be beneficial to the environment?

Certainly, most pollution is awful..but is CO2 really bad?

CO2 is plant's number one food. More CO2, more plants. In greenhouses, they artificially pump CO2 to increase yields.

More plants = more good, in my book.

Co2 is toxic to air- breathing animals. Sit in an airtight room and as you breathe out Co2, the concentration increases. When it gets high enough you will eventually die. There have been whole villages wiped out by Co2 eruptions coming from lake bottoms. They suffocated because the Co2 displaced the air.
Also, while lobsters may grow bigger, the shellfish they feed on will decrease in number because Co2 disolves their calcium based shells.

But with more CO2 in the ocean, their shells will dissolve.

Why is it that Americans are the only people who don't think global warming is real?

@buddhaflow

If only that was the case.

That will make up for the hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, flooding and famine. :/

Tough call.
85% of the world's scientists vs. a deaf Ron Burgundy with an agenda.

Before you accuse scientist of being mad islamic marxist out to abort your babies and let gays into your pantry, please remember that scientists base their work on empirical evidence. That means that they may not get it right all the time but at least their default position is "I'm probably not right". Can the denialist blow-hards say the same?

It's fine to debate the specifics of global warming, how it's affecting us, in what ways, and at what rate. But at this point I treat the "logic" of the "global warming is pure bunk" crowd with the same respect as I would Holocaust deniers. Let's focus on working out a solution together and stop wasting time.

I, for one, welcome our lobster overlords. Please accept this big tub of melted butter as a welcoming gift.

A solution to anthropogenic global warming exists, but it is almost never mentioned. And until that solution is addressed, all other 'solutions' are merely so much water treading.

I treat the "logic" of the "gobal warming is man-made" crowd with the same respect as I would people who believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.

sorry I'm Jewish, so this is no good for me since I can't eat them anyway.

angelino - that's because you have no interest in evidence and would rather tow the party line of people who have vested interest in continuing with business as usual.

Clowns. Thats all you have on the climate change deniers side. No evidence, no facts, just as wishy-washy an argument as anyone but, as 'people' pointed out, you lack any interest in objectivity or seeking the truth - you're just on a mission to prove you are right. At least people on the science side of this are open-minded.

I am tired of the onus of proof falling on people who recognise climate change as a real problem. Why should we have to prove that humans make an impact? If the evidence on the other side is so strong, then why isnt the onus on you to prove that human activity has negligible impact on the environment? Good luck on that.

All current evidence shows humans have *some* impact - and need I remind you that humans have no god-given RIGHT to unfairly impact the world. If we make any negative impact, dont we have a duty to change that? If you believe the religion fairytales of life then we are supposed to be the GUARDIANS of the world and living things. So much for that.

2000-2010 looking to be the hottest decade in recorded history.

2009 looking to be the fifth hottest year in recorded history.

I wish that everyone had to get their stance on climate change tattooed on them, so in 50 years if the shit hits the fan, then we can know who to slaughter. Selfish humans.

I could be paddling a rowboat down Market Street in San Francisco after the poles have melted, and there will still be conservative fanatics who deny that humans are responsible for Global Warming or that it is even real. I invite you to my web-pages devoted to raising awareness on this urgent issue: http://pltcldscsn.blogspot.com/2009/12/conservatives-still-deny-global-warming.html

Man, I was beaten by the first post, flux! I was gonna say:

Didachick? Dumachum? Dadacham?!

LOLidiots. Global warming is real, and that's somehting which I am not disputing, but even if it weren't you'd have to be an idiot not to take action against it in case the small number of zealots with their fingers in their ears and blindfolds turned out to be (shock, horror) wrong.

I'm actually more shocked by the fact that Angelo says he has no respect for people who believe in Santa. It's December for Santa's sake!

I hate people, so I purposely drive a Hummer (the original huge one) and I don't recycle, reuse OR reduce. I water my lawn so it's nice and green and I by individually wrapped prunes and throw the wrappers on the ground. I'll be dead when anything bad happens, so suck it.

splint:
.......AND you're gonna have a shit life.

tp: maybe you didn't hear me, I drive a HUMMER!
