The Litany Marches Ever Onwards

Fucking hell is it just me that finds the whole "litany" put forward about global warming is getting sillier and sillier and seemingly more desperate as time goes on?

I am listening to the Today Programme on Radio 4 when some bint from the Worldwide Fund for Nature come on to tell us that not only are Polar Bears drowing but now the penguins are in danger too.

Now apparently the Antarctic Peninsula, the bit that sticks up towards South America, is warming up and the poor little loves are running short of food. Ok fair enough, penguins are lovely little animal and noone wants them suffering. The fact that penguin populations have always fluctuated historically and that not all population were being hit, some were even expanding, was not mentioned. The Antarctic Peninsula represents a mere 3% of the Antarctic and is the only bit that is actually warming, this also was omitted from the report.

The Larsen B Shelf collapse was also mentioned and linked to a possible rise in sea level despite the self evident fact that this shelf was sea ice and as it was already floating in water is cannot affect sead levels but hey let's not let the scientific facts get in the way of a good story.

But listen it gets worse. Some student in America has discovered a new species of Dinosaur which was 8 metres long with teeth "like bananas". Roamed the earth in the mid cretaceous period when the Earth was much warmer than today.

Do you think they could resist that fucking open goal? No way. In pitches the interviewer and asks if there was any possibility, with glabal warming and all, of creatures like this roaming the Earth again as the Earth warms? I shit you not they actually discussed the possibility of this, on FUCKING RADIO 4 !!! .

"The dinosaur seems to have evolved because these shallow seas divided up the land so it led to different groups of dinosaurs in different places - that has implications for how life reacts to high temperatures and high sea levels," explained Brusatte.

I give up.
