— Ace Stupid new global warming scare-video that Dave in Texas sent.
He notes the climate freaks seem addicted to 9/11-ish imagery. First a hundred planes crashing into the WTC to illustrate the death toll at the (global warming caused, presumably) tsunami, now bodies falling from the sky past skyscrapers.
Bear bodies, yes. But still.
They keep trying to say, "Hey, have you ever noticed that what we're doing to the earth is exactly like what Al Qaeda did to us on 9/11? Except we do it every day?"
And the answer continues to be: No, I didn't notice that, nor did I notice it the other dozen times you've suggested it to me. The two things are nothing at all alike, and every time you say so, you're risking a punch in the chops.
Which part of the word "No" don't you understand? The "No" part, or the part where I key obscenities into your car?

... peer review seems to serve three purposes. First, it rewards the hives that have the most successful data torturers. Second it singles out mutant hives for elimination. Third, it allows the Alpha Grantwriters to expense drinks.

I'm calling bullshit. A polar bear at terminal velocity would explode in a bloody mess, not hit the curb with a smear.
C'mon!

In other words, is this the equation they're putting forward in the ad?
DPB = WGGSA/400kg
DPB (Dead Polar Bears)
WGGSA (Weight of Greenhouse Gasses from Stupid Airplanes)

2) The ApocalyptoNuts live in this state of fear every minute, but they leaven it with the feeling of superiority that comes from the Messianic "I'm solving the problem that will save us all" mindset.
3) Factored against the number of people they move, is flying to a location any more polluting than other modes of transport?
4) They try to pick the noble animal as 400Kg, something people perceive as 'cute' or 'inspiring,' but they don't mention that that could also be equivalent to Rosie O'Donnell, and I'd sure as hell enjoy seeing thousands of them plunging from the sky.
5) There ain't no Global Warming, so fuck off with the Carbon Panic, douche-bags.

It's actually much more pathetic than saying: "Take a flight, kill a polar bear." They're really only saying that a polar bear weighs as much as the stuff that spews out the back of a polar bear, knowing that most people have been so thoroughly indoctrinated into thinking "Human Activity = Dead Polar Bears" that they'll just nod their heads without thinking about it.

You know if all those endangered species tasted good, they wouldn't be endangered. Then again Polar bears aren't endangered.
This video isn't even a "save the polar bears" video. Its a look how big of a carbon shit you make when you fly. I didn't bother going to the website though I'm betting its one to discourage you from flying. Even though flying is probably better off. I remember hearing about at study that as long as a plane flying from chicago to New York is half full its producing less polution than if those people decided to drive.

In all seriousness, if we kill one polar bear every couple of miles shouldn't we find to way to fuel our planes with polar bear blood? I mean we're killing them anyway, we might as well use it.

I bet polar bear farts produce more than 400Kg of GHG's durring the average lifespan of a polar bear.
Dropping them out of planes when they are young would probably reduce the amount of GHG's pumped into the atmophere!
So, are they saying we should exterminate the polar bears via dropping them out of planes to save the planet?
Posted by: theBman at November 23, 2009 05:43 PM (pBNEK)
It is quite simple:
More global warming means fewer polar bears.
Fewer polar bears means fewer polar bear farts.
Fewer polar bear farts means less global warming.
This problem seems to take care of itself, really.

When I was a bratty, little, snotty-nosed kid (not too long ago), I had a cute, little Teddy Snow Crop hand-puppet that my mommy gave to me, you know, one that looked like a fuzzy polyester polar bear cub that actually talked baby-talk sometimes when I put my hand up its ass. (Or maybe it just squealed.)
In any case, now, I ask myself, could I shoot my cute, little Teddy Snow Crop? No, I think not. So save the polar bears. .

Hmm... don't know. I'm told they're pretty lethargic at that time of year from stuffing their faces. My brother-in-law has come face to face with a grizzly on a trail (snuck right up on him) in the summer and just yelled at it, never took his .30-06 of his shoulder. The bear turned and went the opposite direction. Said his heart had never beat so fast.
When the women go berry picking there's always a designated bear spotter, but that's not the biggest concern. It's the caribou heard that comes charging out of nowhere.
