I thought it was humorous. It also serves as an example of how
global warming <span id="misspell-1" class="mark">alarmism</span> can and does get out of control sometimes.
Or did 4.5 billion people die and I missed it?<br>

Will you stop posting this crap for Christ's sake. You don't know
what the f**k you are talking about. What "recent" prediction that
is viable would make such a broad predication about 2012. NONE.<br>
<br>
If beliefs should be totally based on evidence, then why not
criticize those who believe in Jesus Christ? Because the evidence
for global warming is so much more plausible than the evidence
that Christ has risen from the grave that it isn't funny.<br>
<br>
If belief in Christ gives us reason for belief that we can vote on
or belief that matters to general debate, so does pretty much
anything else. Rational discussion is pointless.<br>

"Over 4.5 Billion people could die from Global

<div><i>Hydrate hypothesis illuminates growing climate change

<div>Compiled by John Stokes </div>
<div>A recent scientific theory called the "hydrate
hypothesis" says that historical global warming cycles
have been caused by a feedback loop, where melting
permafrost methane <span id="misspell-3" class="mark">clathrates</span> (also known as "hydrates")
spur local global warming, leading to further melting of
<span id="misspell-4" class="mark">clathrates</span> and bacterial growth."<br>

<br>
Apparently, 4.5 billion of us could die from global warming
before 2012, which is in about 6 and a half hours from now.
Be warned!<br>
<br>
I hope that this is either a joke website, or just rampant
<span id="misspell-6" class="mark">alarmism</span>, because I, for one, don't want to die tonight.<span class="yiv279875712HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
