'If you put govt in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 yrs there'd be a shortage of sand'~M. Friedman

We've only got 50 days left.  At least according to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.  He delivered the dire warning in London yesterday, so now we're down to 49 days.  He said if the world doesn't come together and reach an agreement on how to tackle global warming by the December UN Summit in Copenhagen, the future of humanity looks pretty bleak.  So actually, we have more than 50 days to live, we only 50 days to save the planet.  So I guess I'm sensationalizing a little bit for dramatic effect.  Also, I'm not sure if he is referring to the entire planet or just to Great Britian.  If only the United Kingdom is doomed, I can live with that.  But if it's the entire world - Let's get busy people.

My guess is there's too much to get done in the next 50 days, so I don't think an agreement is going to be reached by then.  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Hey, I just had an idea.  Let's take a poll on what everyone plans to do in the time they have left.

 

What do you plan to do in your last 50 days?

panic
party like its 1999
pretend like the world is not going to end
make a wish list and accomplish as much as possible
write a memoir
spend as much time with family as possible
sell all my stuff
ask myself "Why me?"
accept it
all of the above

I'm still pissed at Xenu for detonating those bombs.

So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

Bah!  I listen to the reports presented by shell and others. There is no problem at all with our environment. Its just some random stuff going on that we cant do anything about.

I read about 30 pages of the current proposed treaty after I heard about it on the radio (interestingly, you do not hear of it on any other media outlet) and the thing is scary. I do not mean simply scary for Americans, but any developed country who still cherishes an ounce of democracy.

We will become slaves to third world countries in the form of "Climate Debt" payments. Our Constitutions will be overruled by the Treaty's proposed laws. Our sovereignty will be lost forever. Talks of a world government ruling body and the use of an international monetary instrument is extremely frightening.

This is not over dramatization - the language is stated clearly in the treaty - this, by all means, is an attempt, from my perspective, to change the structure of the United States (and other nations who dare sign off on this).

What does this mean? It means we have one last Constitutional right, rather duty, to perform and it lies within the following words:

"...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

I think we should just bring back CFC's because I'm sure that "they" made it all up about the Ozone layer.  I am no environmental zealot, but to ignore the impact that we have on our planet until it becomes grossly apparent is asinine.

Heresy! Jesus didn't look like that at all!

Where are his CLAWS!? How is Christ supposed to rend the nonbelievers, and cradle the chosen to his scaly bosom without raptor hands!? I hope Raptor Jesus smites the hell out of you for your lack of accuracy, when he comes back, it's gonna be like Jurassic Park 5: The Redeemifying.

 

Anyway.. if the planet is doomed, we shall have to take to space. Unfortunately, there's only so much room in an infinitely expanding universe, so I propose we send our most valuable minds into space first. Senators first, Congressmen second, Lawyers, Clowns, and Televangelists shall pierce the heavens with their mighty spaceshuttle!

Then, once that ship, (USS Goodwill Gift) has devastated the galaxy, Earth shall rise from the ashes, as a new Galatic empire! We start by blowing up the USS Goodwill Gift, then we sacrifice Al Gore to curry favor with the Elder Gods. Using their dark power, we beat the shit out of everyone Socialists, and conquer  spread a green message to the universe.

Ah, Gordon Brown is pushing for a world government. That treaty that will be signed even says so and has all rights over our constitutions as well as others. Pretty much thier plan is to eradicate the worlds population by a 93% margin. It seems as if a scalar waves for a weather event, a viral outbreak or by codex alamintarius which will claim that the nutrients in our food is poison. Anyways its coming and I told you so... =(

Wait a minute I made a mistake. I was watching "That's Impossible" on the History Channel and they said if I can live until 2060 they will have figured out how to help us live to be 1,000 years old. Then if you make it that far they said we could possibly live forever.

I'm telling you its all a Russian/Canadian joint scheme to thaw out their frozen waste lands in order to take control of the world.

 

First they get wealthy off the oil

Use the oil they sold to increase global temperatures to melt their frozen countries

?????

Profit

 

 

...  p.s.  George Bush and Obama both are secret canadians.  I can see it in their eyes.
