Very early this morning, Tubbius, the Great and Portly ruler of Treadwellia, was seen wearing a fluffy, yellow bathrobe with soft, pink, bunny slippers as He toddled out of His own front door long enough to very slowly and carefully pick up His newspaper from His porch. Then, with quiet, breathy, "Mmph mmph!"s, He turned and shuffled inside the royal palace again. During this time, eager citizens snapped a total of 248 pictures of His Corpulence. Most of these watchers immediately left to sell their images to both local and national news outlets; others merely went home to upload the shots to online social media accounts. The few citizens who stuck around the palace, snooping from all possible angles for more photographs, managed to catch His Immensity in the role of being a parent; a few minutes after claiming the paper, Tubbius was seen cradling a snoozing Baby Tubbius in the palace nursery, warm smiles on the faces of both father and son. One lucky soul even found a better angle for photographs; his shots also include a drowsy Mrs. Tubbius in Her own red, fluffy robe and slippers with Her Heaviness standing beside His Holy Hoggishness with Her white hair up in curlers. All is very well in Treadwellia.
We are!! The Cat and her Monkey will be attending an Animal House™ party this Memorial Day weekend as a prospective member. The brightwork is polished, the Monkey's hair and beard have been trimmed, and new white sheets for the toga-making contest have been procured!! (Monkey hopes to demonstrate that even a stinkboat skipper knows how to use a sewing machine.)
The Cat appreciates the name of your region -- the best way to roast hot dogs is to torch the kennel!!
Have a great weekend, folks!!
I'm in the mood for a debate. Unfortunately I will not be able to answer, so there's this monster.
"Climate change is natural it's happened before".
Yes, the climate has changed in the past. Often due to an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, which is actually a pretty clear indication that increase in carbon dioxide will increase temperatures.
"But, Ethuoze, CO2 concentration is only increased because temperature is increased, not the other way around".
It is true that many warming events began without carbon dioxide levels increasing first; however, once the warming began, carbon dioxide levels increased, greatly amplifying the warming. Of the warming events we have record for, 90% of the warming took place after the carbon dioxide levels increased.
"It's just that the sun's been getting hotter".
No!
"The data these scientists are using are wrong because they put the thermometers in cities where there is heat sources and asphalt to heat everything up."
The heating of the planet shows up when you look at weather stations in cities or in rural areas, it shows up when you look at satellite data or thermometers that are sunk deep in the ocean.It's everywhere. Scientists are not stupid.
"The earth is actually cooling."
No, I mean it's not...it's not, at all. 2000 to 2010 was the hottest decade ever. Ever on record.
"But it's not warming up as fast".
If you pick the years from 2009 'till now the trend line is indeed not as steep. But the climate doesn't change on the scale of years. That's like looking at a picture made of five pixels and trying to figure out what it is. It's just not going to be very clear. That's why we look at decades and centuries of data.
"They predicted an ice age in the 70's".
A small research team did say that and the news media talked about it for about two weeks. But the vast majority of peer-reviewed science during the 70's said that the climate was warming. Because of - you guessed it - carbon dioxide emissions.
"You're just cherry-picking the data that support your hypothesis".
Data supporting global warming comes from like every branch of science:whether it's biology, with animals ranging farther north, or epidemiology, with disease ranges spreading, or agriculture, with yields increasing in temperate areas, increased water temperatures, decreased snowfall, earlier snowmelt, rising sea levels.
"But Antarctica has more ice now than it used to".
No. But interestingly, it does have more sea ice than it used to. There is land ice, the ice that exists on the land of Antarctica (which is a continent)
and then there is sea ice, which (for the most part) forms in the winter and melts in the summer.
The land ice, the glaciers, is what you have to worry about, and that is melting at an alarming rate.
Now, why there is more sea ice in Antarctica now than there has been previously is an interesting question. One that has been studied.
"Fossil fuels... they're great". On this point, I agree with you.
I think fossil fuels are miraculous. They are a precious resource.I'm not gonna rag on anyone who works hard providing inexpensive energy and the freedom and happiness that it provides. But there are costs to burning fossil fuels. So we have to use them less, by choice and through hard work.
We have to develop alternatives, we have to be more efficient, and we have to change the way that we live our lives.
But as long as we agree that there is a problem I have complete faith in humanity's ability to solve it. Because solving problems is what we do best.
I am at work, that is why I am not able to answer immediately. Probably at 4:00 or 5:00 PM ET.

Participation is optional but encouraged.

I'm glad you like it.
Ah, thanks.
Well, I guess I had ceased to exist over a week ago - and didn't pay attention.
Well I'm sure the residents of Lazarus will be pleased to know Tupac is not dead.
Funkadelia and Trackeendy
Hi, people of Lazarus. We've finished constructing your embassy!

The rockets red glare!
On my way to citizenship. Already working on the Oath.
Loft its your turn to continue the rp.
Anyone finds it ironic that Cormac wrote the resolution to liberate The Arab League?
Opinions?
My proposal just needs more approvals. I don't understand why this is stressing me out. :P
I think it's a huge over reach into my government's institutions.
Against the idea of the assembly coming into regions like that?
