HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (CNN) -- Leaders from the world's eight major industrialized nations "accepted the latest scientific evidence" of the dangers of global warming Thursday...
Well, halle-fuckin’-lujah. Next up on the global agenda: accepting the latest scientific evidence on gravity. But don’t get too excited:
..."accepted the latest scientific evidence" of the dangers of global warming Thursday but set no targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Cuz we wouldn’t want to actually do anything about the problem. Oh, and also, the U.S. government is scaling back efforts to monitor the effects of global warming from space.
Meanwhile:
• some Australian towns may be abandoned due to lack of water
• one third of the continental United States is in drought conditions, and it’s spreading
• Greenland is melting fasting than anyone previously imagined
• we’re just learning that vast areas of Antarctica melted in 2005
• the southern ocean is saturated with CO2
But don’t worry, because global warming is a gift from God, and will cure poverty.
But really don’t worry, because geeks are on the job, gaming for the planet.
I love geeks, but I’m not sure I want to leave the entirety of our future in the hands of gamers.
