Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It did a lot to make me think that organizations trying to protect the environment publicly are either nuts, have no respect to their target audience, or have some weird anti-industry message.
As opposed to more silent but respectable messages, like Dirty Jobs having occasional recycling jobs that got me really interested in making sure waste materials went to the right place.
Haha yeah, reducing over-consumption would definitely mean humanity as whole would be hungry and poor. yep. not a doubt
edit: that seems to be a trend. Cameron's Avatar had the worst environmentalist message
all tied up in some bizarre technophobia and noble savage shit
Easily my favorite Nicktoon from those days.
I was also surprised by how much metal doesn't come from fresh ore but from re-smelted parts and scrap.
then why is it so cold

Man, in the words of the immortal Ian Malcom,
Life will find a way.
Life in some form will continue. Sure it might not be all that recognizable as what we have now. But the planet itself and life in general is going to be doing okay unless we just blow it the fuck up.
it's weird
no one bothered to throw any "well if global warming is such a big deal, why are we getting this huge blizzard, huh?" questions my way this year

global climate change/shift is way more accurate
or I guess global our grandkids are fucked
answer me that tough guy
those whippersnappers
no respect, kids those days
if you wanna get technical, that's because our records only go back a century or so
and technically shifts in temperature occur normally and are cyclical
it's just, we're kinda way ahead of schedule on this one
Good job, everyone.
"climate forcing" would be even more accurate
STEAM ID
yeah pretty much
historical including ice core samples. above normal rate being at a faster rate than those normal cyclical trends
Now watch as we interview the dumbest possible person we could find who doesn't agree with us, thus proving opposing positions are dumb, like that person.
Nah, it isn't a misnomer. That's a common myth
A quick google search would tell you
That's from the Wikipedia page for global warming, but NASA backs it up as do many other organizations
global warming means harsh winters and an eventual ice age right?
ice age's are warm aren't they

It's "I couldn't care less".
I'll confess I'm surprised you've noticed me at all. not really a noteworthy poster
what sort of time scale are we talking about here? cause the next glacial period isn't due for 15 to 50 thousand years, depending on which way CO2 levels in the atmosphere go. The Day After Tomorrow wasn't based on real science
higher global average temperatures are all anyone reputable is predicting for the rest of the twenty first century. we're already up 1.4 F since the early 1900s, and it'll likely rise anywhere from another 2 to 11 degrees by the year 2100, depending on various factors. there's even a theory that global dimming could be having a cooling effect currently and partly hiding the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming
so yeah, global warming caused by humans activities increasing the levels of greenhouse gases is driving climate change. not a really dumb misnomer
sorry if I'm nitpicking. there's a lot of misinformation floating around on climate change, and I feel like it's an important enough issue that correcting it when I can won't hurt
anyway, on a related note, here's an interesting interview with the former president of the Maldives on the Daily Show. the Maldives are a series of low lying islands in the Indian ocean that are disappearing because of rising sea levels. most of the 200ish inhabited islands will have to be abandoned this century. Mohamed Nasheed, the guy in the interview, is trying to raise money to buy land in India, Sri Lanka, and Australia for the people to relocate to. not trying to plug a charity or anything, sometimes it's just cool to see people doing good things
