We're all going to die! Again
« on: July 23, 2022, 04:32:40 PM »
Now we're all going to died from microbes that have been trapped in Tibetan glaciers melting because of climate change.
Wonder if the person who wrote this remembered that glaciers flow and have been routinely releasing frozen microbes for billions of years? Na, can't spoil a good panic.

  • I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I don't remember us all dying when the polar ice caps melt away over twenty years ago. My memory is not what it used to be.

When the polar ice caps melted it didn't kill everybody, some it just affected their memory.

Um . . . didn't we all die when the Mayan calendar ended back in 2012? Or am I confusing this with Nobel prize winner Al Gore's assertion in 2006 that the world would end in 10 years (meaning 2016) due to global warming?

The Universal Powers have released these microbes to get even with China for releasing Covid19.  :mad:  >:D

I think I am more concerned by what researchers somewhere might engineer in order to study these viruses.  The article did say they sequenced the DNA.

You bigots can have your little thawed microbe crisis,  I'm living the high life on my new beachfront West Virginia property.  The eastern seaboard is gone just like they said it would be..

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.
