What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign waking up and seeing snow and remembering that this time last year, I was probably sleeping. But a few hours from this time last year, I was definately outside in a skirt and t-shirt, enjoying the beautiful sun...

Confound global warming and the fact that it isn't actually warm!

(Pssst to those talking about the typo thread - we don't usually mention the name of the one who made the mistake; that saves them from feeling put on the spot.)

It's beautiful in Dundee probably thanks to our old friend CO2

I assign the frankly bizarre proposal to combat global warming by limiting greenhouse gas output.

"Hey, all these gases we're pumping into the atmosphere are slowly heating the planet up!"

"I've got an idea! Why don't we continue to pump even more of the same gases into the atmosphere, but at a marginally slower rate! That'll beat global warming for sure."

Alas, alas, its probably the best we can do

And I bet we won't do even that...

People who don't bother doing small but harmless things, especially if that is the reason why they don't do them.
