GO WARMING!

ESPN pits Global Warming against Peak Oil in a doomsday cage match:

• Round one

• Round two

• Round three

1. I put my money on the Bear, the Sun, and Chavez.

   Someone, pay up!

2. Shouldn’t it be a three-way race, with Common Sense and it’s half-brother Nuclear Power in it?

3. Peak Oil or Global Warming?  Is that all the choices we have? 

   What ever happened to nuclear devastation?  The return of the glaciers?  Asteroid impact?  Biological warfare? 

   C’mon, ESPN!  There are more options, y’know!

4. ESPN STFU.

5. ESPN’s just gone to hell all over since they changed the SportsCenter theme music.

6. There was a brochure lying around the company’s lobby this morning, glossy letter size, probably junk mail or a newspaper insert.

   It was publicising E-hour or Earth day, or whatever corny propaganda stunt about the whole world turning off electricity for an hour.

   I put it in may pocket and brought it home for the cat litter box.

   OK So I don’t have a cat and threw it in the plastic garbage bag. I wasn’t even going to recycle it.

   Do what you can, I say.

7. Oh, also I have a copy of the DVD Apocolypse? NO!.

   Now I’ve seen it, I left it prominantly standing on my desk and a curious passer-by asked whether he could borrow it. Sure!

   One soul at a time.

8. Peak Oil may look impressive at this point in time, but I’m predicting it will choke before the competition is over.

   When it comes to sheer apocalyptic fury, nothing beats the Global Warming Megareligion. It’s got tornadoes, lightning, droughts, floods, earthquakes, and just about everything else, at the ready… (/irony)

9. Snow.  In Texas.  In March.

   Except, they neglect to mention that it’s snow in Texas in March in the Panhandle where that happens every [routine] winter.

   ESPN, love the cage match, but get your shit together, okay?

10. You youngsters wouldn’t know, but in olden times, the ESPN would talk about sports.

11. Yeah, right.  And MTV played music.

    Time for the home pops.

12. Man, I just love the idea of a magma source for oil; the magma emitts (yes emitts, the greens will be on to this!) a gas which is trapped in rock cavity, consumed by microbes/bacteria who then crap out oil! I’m going to get some like-minded visionaries, start a co. to exploit this fantastic energy source; and then later, we’ll look at casimir, quantum gates and superposition energy gradients in a ZPG field.

13. It’s thought that if that process happens, it’s far to deep below the surface for us to get to this century.

14. My nominee for car name of the year - the long-awaited (by someone, probably, I guess) Fisker Karma!

15. Don’t underestimte Peak Oil. Sure it’s long odds, but warmers will be discredited by a mere fall in temperature, whereas the threat of peak oil will never fade. While ever there are resources, people will be scared of running out of them. Peak Oil might be looking tired, but there’s plenty of life in the old bugger yet.

16. #12 well, sure, but it will all end in tears if the plates that create the ZPG ever come together.

17. #16 entropy; my mistake, I meant ZPE; the quantum gaps in my mind are obviously getting bigger, if that’s an appropriate term for negative energy.
