The Birnbaums must be vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is amazing how much stuff people will drag across the country in order to do the same things they can do at home.
Mind you, I’m not complaining. They bring millions of dollars into the local economy, and I like to see people enjoying themselves.

I was on my new bicycle running an errand.

I was in my canoe, fishing, and plotting the death of all jet skiers who don’t show consideration for others.

Jen Sorenson: “I was uploading my snarky political cartoon to a data center on the northeastern power grid where it will live forever on a spinning array of disks with fans blowing on them.”

Jen: I know you can ignore the right-wing nut jobs without my help. Still, let me say this cartoon is magnificent. Thank you!

I’m surprised the Birnbaums aren’t in a 45’ Prevost Motor Coach towing the matching trailer holding the Hummer H-2, the 20’ boat, the Harleys, and the twin jet Skis, all of which they “need” to get “back to nature” without sacrificing ANY of the comforts of home!
Also, I hope the nitwit that invented the “Leaf Blower” dies choking on exhaust fumes!

The landscape company trimmed my hyacinth with a gas powered hedge trimmer.
Then they used a leaf blower to blow the clippings into the street.
Then they have a vacuum truck that drives around at about 20 mph, vacuuming up the clippings.

Erupting Super Volcano (probably Yellowstone) will Stop before Killing everyone.

Come on, masterskrain, we all know that Global Warming is a scam, right? Sure we do! Pass the CO2 and chill out!

Leaf blower, worst invention ever.
1) noise pollution
2) air pollution
3) blows trash around

Whatever happened to brooms?

Scientists trying to determine how the Earth might change as temperatures rise often look back in time to a period around 3.6 million years ago called the middle Pliocene, when concentrations of carbon dioxide ranged from about 380 to 450 parts per million. (Today they are nearing 400.)
A study published yesterday in the journal Science analyzed the longest land-based sediment core ever taken in the Arctic and found that during this period, from 3.6 million to 2.2 million years ago, the area around the North Pole was much warmer and wetter than it is now.
In the middle Pliocene, summer temperatures in the Arctic were around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 14 degrees warmer than they are now, the study found.

Should the Yellow Stone Caldera explode (it will sooner of later) the earth will be covered in a blanket of debris and the skies will be so dark the temperatures will fall by 10-12 degrees for at least a decade.
About 75,000 to 70,000 years ago another caldera exploded from Mt. Toba in Indonesia. (It is lake Toba now 20 miles long, 60 miles wide and a mile deep.) Humanity became extinct all over the world, only a core group of 6,000 survived in Africa. Animal and plants died. It will be like an extinction event.

Does this not prove the point that climate changes.. with or without mans help?
The discussion should be how to stop fouling the very place we live. However… to stop using plastic.. hydrocarbon fuel.. electronics..air travel.. would change the lifestyle in an unacceptable way to most people.

Humans are driving a little further down the road toward extinction everyday.
