Are you looking for the CURRENT VERSION of the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler?

Sir Christopher sent us this one, which had us scratching our Imperial Noggin. We’re still scratching it, actually (sorry, no link. It’s the Associated (with terrorists) Press, and they apparently have a problem with bloggers sending them traffic these days, and far be it from us to ignore their wishes).

New research compiled by Australian scientist Dr. Tom Chalko shows that global seismic activity on Earth is now five times more energetic than it was just 20 years ago.

OK… And…?

The research proves that destructive ability of earthquakes on Earth increases alarmingly fast and that this trend is set to continue, unless the problem of “global warming” is comprehensively and urgently addressed.

???

Obviously they’ve stopped even trying to put together a hare-brained, lame-arsed “connection” between various calamities and Glowbull Wormening. Now it’s just assumed.

Let’s go over it again:

We have more and bigger earthquakes than we did 20 years ago. This “proves” that Glowbull Wormening is real and needs to be stopped.

All fish live under water. All mackerel are fish. Ergo, I need a raise.

We give up. The debate is, indeed, over. It’s impossible to argue with somebody that profoundly retarded.

Update: It seems that SeeBS has gone and done what nobody thought was possible— They’ve lowered their credibility to levels not seen since Baghdad Bob was seen shouting “There are no Americans in Bagdad!” as M1A1 tank crews were rolling behind him on camera shooting moons. (B.C.)

    On Drudge yesterday, the salmonella outbreak on the tomatoes is ALSO due to global warming. Bush should be glad…now everything that USED to be blamed on him can be blamed on global warming. I know *I* would sleep better knowing that. :em02:

  7. Bill H, Resident Car Guy Comment by Bill H, Resident Car Guy UNITED STATES

    Global warming is causing earthquakes? Lessee how this shakes out for someone who lives in San Diego:
    1) We live in what is considered at various times either a desert or an arid land.
    2) Deserts can be uncomfortably hot, especially during the Summer, because:
    3) the sun warms the earth, causing global warming.
    4) We have earthquakes as a regular part of the landscape, which apparently are in no way connected to:
    5) the fact that SoCal is formed on one of the most fractured parts of the North American Continent.

    OK. I’m on board. :em41:

    On Drudge yesterday, the salmonella outbreak on the tomatoes is ALSO due to global warming.

    After the deadly shark attack near San Diego a while back, the idiots showed up, right on cue, to state that shark attacks on humans are caused by Global Warming.

    They’ve become their own parody.

    but let’s not forget the third “go to” scapegoat:

    Water shortage blamed on Israelis, not global warming

    i take that back:

    The Israel Meteorological Service says that Israelis have only themselves to blame for their current water shortage.

    Living in SoCal my whole life, there was always talk about “Earthquake weather”. Back then, the scientists told us that was just wives tales, being quakes originate miles below the surface of the earth and surface temps have no relation.

    Now they’re trying to tell me that a 0.01 degree increase in surface temp causes earthquakes. :em98:

    You would think that with this latest pseudoscientific turd in the punchbowl, even the most severely retarded amongst us (politicians) would recognize that the science of climatology has been hijacked by agenda-driven, grant-grubbing Marxist/Stalinists! Worse still, the Marxist/Stalinist press reports every word out of their mouths!

    We have crimes against humanity, hate crimes, etc… Why not charge these asswipes with crimes against science? It seems only the ones without any concept of intellectual integrity get the limelight, cash, and I assume, chicks.

    Shoot, in Fort Bend County Texas during the 80s, iffn you weren’t on your second child by the age of 15, you were considered a “late bloomer” (or really REALLY ugly)! :em01:

    If you have ever wondered why The Major is overly pessimistic, dare I say outright cynical, it is because I have personally witnessed, and continue to witness, countless examples of enslavement by entitlement. If… no, WHEN the fragile fabric of civility shreds to pieces during the next national calamity (depression, nuclear assault by terrorists, natural disaster, etc.) there will be MILLIONS of completely helpless people in blue state urban areas recreating the Katrina meltdown on an unimaginable scale.

    My advice: get out of the urban areas and into rural America where you can easily set up a defensive perimeter with like-minded neighbors who ain’t gonna put up with that bullshit!

  40. hitnrun Comment by hitnrun UNITED STATES

    This is just sad. It’s one thing for them to be unscientific about something entirely plausible - industrial gaseous emissions effecting the composition of the atmosphere - but now they’re stomping Popper into the ground by linking every possible phenomenon to CO2. And doing it with the assumed mantle of geological science, no less.

    Let me make this entirely clear; it is not only not true, but not possible for any “global warming” that doesn’t bake humans into sticky puddles of grease to have a significant effect on the seismic shifts of massive….massive things that contain so much solid and liquid matter that the human brain literally cannot conceive of them, using instead words like “plate” and “shelf”.

    A 0.6, or even 6.0 global temperature shift will cause an earthquake when a human fart collapses a house.

  41. Eyas Comment by Eyas UNITED STATES

    OFF- Topic. Waayy off-topic.

    Sorry, but there’s no other topic to put comments on this:

    Re-Defeat Communism

    Stealing a page from the Leftist playbook. Specifically, bumper stickers which read “Re-Defeat Bush” during the 2004 Presidential Campaign.

    I just want to make sure that everyone here is on the same page that some Democrats are now OPENLY calling for COMMUNISM.

    Marxine Waters’ recent statements received almost no coverage. A member of Congress — in the middle of a Congressional hearing — in public — televised — calls for nationalizing an industry, and THIS doesn’t make news?!

    Now Hinchey (D - NY) OPENLY calls for nationalizing refineries, and STILL, very few people talk about it.

    Democrats have been wanting to Nationalize the Healthcare industry for years.

    We must distinguish this from mere Socialism.

    For some reason, Americans have been conditioned to scoff at accusations of communism — as if it is not at all REAL. As if Communism is not only NOT a threat to America; but that Communism no longer holds any negative connotation.

    WE have to make a BIG DEAL about this. Rush gives it passing lip-service, calling certain people Marxists. Forget that term — (”Marxist”). Forget the term “Socialist”. America needs to be reminded that Communism is ALIVE and WELL in this country, and in our government, TODAY. America needs to be reminded that Communism is EVIL.

    We may never reach the Communists themselves. We may never reach Obama-backers.

    But, the ill-informed, passive, MSM brainwashed BULK of America — the “moderates”; the “independents”; the non-voters, the “American Idol” audience — they need to be ROUSED from their slumber.

    There is an ACTIVE coup d’etat in the offing — PRESESNTLY. As in, NOW. TODAY. YESTERDAY.

    This cannot continue to be ignored any longer.

    I don’t have a solution. I don’t currently have suggestions. This post isn’t for discussing how to “fix” things. It’s not designed to come up with answers; or ways to fight the IMMINENT Communist threat.

    I just need to know that I am not the only human being on the planet who is aware of the severity of this problem.

  42. baslimthecripple Comment by baslimthecripple UNITED STATES

    OMG, this guy is clue FBAR. The gist of the argument is that the earth’s core is a nuclear reactor and must be cooled by radiating heat into space. Global wormening lessens this and could trigger melt down of the core which could literally tear the planet apart. Parody is impossible with people this stupid.

  43. LC  MuscleDaddy Comment by LC MuscleDaddy UNITED STATES

    Here’s the thing about Global Warming, though:

    I keeps the vampire attacks down.

    ……….

    Seriously - GW exists AND there hasn’t been a single, documented vampire attack since the ‘consensus’ was reached.

    How can we ignore such an obvious connection?

    Clearly, to “comprehensively deal with” Global Warming would be to consign our progeny to an eternal torment of blood-sucking, undead existence!

    I’m going to go out & idle the truck for a while….

  45. Unregistered Comment by curmudgeon1 UNITED STATES

    The thing to do is expose all of the fraud committed by these ’scientists’ that can be discovered. Their piety of pretense in having nor wanting anything doesn’t bother anybody. What does is that they don’t want other people to have anything, which is none of their g-d business. What has been done to the Gorebecilie must be done to every high profile scientist daring to tell us how we should live.
    If Comrade O gets elected by the federal governments beneficiaries, remember the sagas. “If it be so ordained, another way will be found.” We should respond as the corrupt commissars did, and take most of the economy underground. They took state resources and went into business for themselves. Don’t think that won’t happen. Communism can’t ever work because combining that sandbox mentality with phony altruism yields the result I just stated. Find my previous post proposing a general strike. Lock the doors of your shops and barter products and services among ourselves.
    This takes us back to the global-smarming scientists who really want to be social engineers. Along with the rest of academia and the media, their mission is forcing their idea of perfection down our throats by controlling our attitudes, appetites, and consumption. 35 years ago when the first handgun bans were being debated, Ben Bradley was still managing editor of the Washington Post. He was asked in an interview why he advocated gun control. I remember this response: “Most Americans are like Archie Bunker. And all he cares about is his pickup truck, his bar b qued steak, and his six pack. And someday ‘WE are going to telll him he can’t have those things anymore, and all Hell’s going to break loose.” It’s “someday”.
