Just before 11 last night as I was happily dozing off, all the iPhones in the house start broadcasting some emergency signal alerting us that some shit was going down with a Blue Nissan Versa. Not having a clue what the hell an AMBER alert was, here's me thinking it was some shitty compact car loaded with explosives bout to blow some shit up. Turns out some kids got boosted all the way down in San Diego so the powers that be decided to wake all of California up just in case.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm all for not abducting kids or whatever, but you don't have to wake a nigger up over it.

Wait so AMBER alerts just automatically pop up on your phone regardless of anything, if you live in the US? Fuck that noise.

Yep, I think you have to have a newish phone, most folks at work got it. I guess we can count ourselves lucky it wasn't at 4:00am like those poor pricks in NY a few weeks ago.

You can turn them off in iOS, under Notifications, Government Alerts. I left it on, ya know.. for the kids n all.

Every so often I think "well, maybe we're not completely fucked" then something reminds me we probably are:
New records for sea ice loss, greenhouse gas in 2012

The world lost record amounts of Arctic sea ice in 2012 and spewed out all-time high levels of greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, international climate scientists said Tuesday.

[MadMax]

Must suck for the guy that's running this realm. Thinking about our spaceward endeavours, Will it be like when you play civ and you fail cause you didn't quite get that research done in time. Will the realm master get us to another planet in time? (So we can rape another ...)

[Pimp-X]

Holy fucking shit.

[MadMax]

Well played.

Sums it up rly.

[Pimp-X]

You're not suggesting that we have seasons and that they're cyclic, are you?

[Lightspeed]

lolz, who would have thunk Pimp-X is a climate change denier. Damn, another topic I'll have to avoid in case he gets all sensitive and starts banning.

Climate Scientists July 2013: THE ARCTIC POLAR ICECAP IS RECEDING!!!!!
Climate Scientists January 2013: THE ANTARCTIC IS EXPERIENCING RECORD ICE LOSS!

Also, lolling @ "climate change denier" - that is a borderline godwinning post.

[Pimp-X]

No kidding.. back to the

[Lightspeed]

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, it sounds like you're suggesting no news here, everything is fine. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the tone?

People realise the issue with climate change in the short term is weather extremes, right? In a stable climate records should be rarely re-made rather than frequently. Warming is the long term problem, although we're going to be fucked before warming becomes a direct global issue.

[CCS]

Did you also study climate change at Wikiversity?

[Lightspeed]

Cripes, of course, how could I be so stupid. I don't have a doctorate in each of the fields related to climate change, so I have nothing to worry about!

[CCS]

It's the fact that you're a total wanker and act as though you're an expert on everything that spoils anything you have to say.

Hahah, that's rich coming from you.

That's your opinion, shared by some, not by others. I don't act like an expert, I'm just willing to push the bounds of my knowledge, I love it when someone robust is able to explain to me how I'm wrong without needing to have a cry. Some people seem to think what they know was surely known by all humans since the dawn of time... except stupid, bad or otherwise inferior people. That doesn't seem to enhance the quality of such people's lives.

The irony is that my style of written communication has largely formed as a response to NZGames.

So... because you read some shit about climate change... and even though there is plenty of conflicting evidence... the stuff that you've and and choose to believe is fact and Imp-X is wrong? Cool. Like I said, total wanker.

[Lightspeed]

But science tells us God's not real. Everyone here knows that. I didn't realise that everyone had a doctorate in God-not-being-real, this clearly being the only way one to have any degree of scientific certainty.

we generally refer to it as rational thought. Taught in; basic education 101, they expand on these principals in; how not to be a gullible cunt 121.

But don't let that get you down, LS. you're an alright guy.

[p01s0n]

now you've fuckin done it

^^ From the guy who says there's plenty of conflicting evidence regarding climate change. As if there haven't been repeated announcements and publications from the scientific communicate stressing their strong consensus about their certainty of the seriousness of climate change, a far stronger consensus than many things we are willing to act decisively on.

Oh, but wait, those announcements were made it part through the media and I once said don't get your science from the news, so surely that must mean I believe anything published in the news must be bad science.

[Lightspeed]

Oh, also car alarm fob black spots fucking suck. At least I manged to get it to work in time to cancel the tow truck.

[[Malks] Pixie]

What grinds my gears? When only the retards on both side of the climate change "debate" are the ones doing the arguing.

Yes. Because there is. But you refuse to believe it. Standard lolspeed stuff.

No, that's a massive, massive exaggeration on anything I've every said. Standard lolspeed disingenuous stuff. It's like Godwin's Law but for nzgames. When lolspeed jumps the shark it's like lolspeed's law. Except lolspeed's law is one that is recursive, much like a fractal.

[MadMax]

Dayam. Was hoping my ott post would be the end of the discussion.

[fixed_truth]

In what specific aspects of climate change do people think the conflicting evidence should make us skeptical of the current scientific opinion?

[Pimp-X]

Do I need to jump in here to keep this plate spinning or have you guys got it covered?

[CCS]

As long as lolspeed is involved, we're going in a circular direction anyway so...

I sound like an expert to you because you're stupid. That's the only conclusion I can draw if you're not trolling about climate science. You're just so. fucking. dumb. That goes for any other idiot who think they're on solid ground questioning climate science.

[CCS]

The thing is, lolspeed, I haven't even offered my opinion on climate change. But you're acting as though I have. You've made a massive leap in logic and you're calling me stupid? I think you should consider not being an intellectual fraud before you go around calling people stupid.

I need to correct you on this. I don't think you sound at all like an expert. I think you're a mealy mouthed cunt who acts as if he is an expert on account of reading some shit. I know for a fact that you're not at all an expert.
