Back in January 2007, we were admonished:
“…you should remember this moment when you learned about this feedback loop-it is an existencial turning point in your life. “
Yes, I remember, only too well. In fact, here’s a reminder:

Get your life in order people. The big planet killing fart is coming, sometime in the next 52 days. I’ve sent an email to the editor using the contact page for this newspaper, asking if they’ll have live coverage.
h/t to The Daily Bayonet
Meanwhile, cooler heads are asking about whether climate change is dangerous at all.
Will I be ok hiding under the bed?
I don’t know. One time my dog let one loose and I felt like I would die. Is that what he meant?
What is a “resrarch” ??
I loose what seem to be planet killing farts all the time. It’s amazing how resilient the atmosphere is when I roll down the car windows, though.
Never under estimate the damage potential of a planetary fart. Plus he has one more year. And he ties in nicely with the Mayan calender.
“we will be helpless to stop the runaway Global Warming”. See you at the cliff John Stokes…
Hilarious! Pathetic! Irresponsible!
Did you read the rest of the posts from that day you linked to? That website/newspaper has some pretty whacko stories:

This from the same website that gives us:
“Scientists find Extraterrestrial genes in Human DNA”
“United Airlines employees witness Alien Spacecraft in Chicago”
“Conservative Party linked to pro-U.S. annexation cabal”
“Enigmas beg question of Extraterrestrial interventions on Human Society”
“Saddam Hussein’s execution lets Masterminds of Crimes against Humanity go free”
“The Bush Administration covers-up the “North American Union” plot against Canada”
“Doctor alleges plans underway to “Microchip” Newborns in U.S. and Europe”
Oh, and there’s more. I really hope this isn’t the way people in Toronto think
See for yourselves (www.agoracosmopolitan.com)
Oh my! And all these decaying corpses will release even MORE methane! And without first paying for carbon credits, too.
Like the ‘rapture preacher’ & the JW’s, the cagw true believers just keep changing the date….another five year reprieve?
What if we all just flicked our Bics? From personal experience I know that works well around home….
Get’em, Anthony.
I think the record-busting October snow in the NE US was just a head-fake from Mother Nature. Although, the predicted body count was caveated with the phrase “global warming-related causes”. One could argue that billions of people have died in that time frame, and then someway relate their cause of death to AGW. Or climate change in current weather-speak. Seeing how we just surpassed the 7 billion living humans mark, I don’t think you’ll get any response.
Unless one would be forthcoming from The Team.
Between this story and Occupy Wall Street protestors messing up the pretty downtown urban areas, its like its the Zombie Apocalypse…
You really do not get it Anthony do you? This was about the 99% and the extincition of the Occupy movement… sarc/off
Is John Stokes any relation to Nick Stokes?
Better cut back on the sprouts this Christmas then; it may give us a few extra seconds before we all die.
You’ll be alright in bed Gareth as long as nobody holds your head under the covers when it goes off.
The “cooler heads….” link is refreshing.
And no pun intended.
I am sure that John Stokes is busy drafting a response email to you right now. It is at the top of his to do list.
Anthony,
Al Gore, the World Bank and HSBC (New Forest Co.) are working very hard to fulfill this prophecy by 2012 using mass starvation by planting the biodiversity killing and invasive Eucalyptus trees in Africa and S. America. Burning the villagers helps too.
I remember this. To add to this hysteria there was a Science Channel documentary about the Permian (P-K) extinction event 250 million years ago. The jest of the story was that the siberian traps plume eruption (which occured for 1 million years) was not enough to cause 95% of all species to die off. Instead the plume eruption caused all the methane hydrates to gasify which sufficated the oceans and raised the planet temp an additional 5 degrees C .
At the end of the show, they attempted to make the link to the current AGW situation. Methane hydrates are the ultimate positive feedback ticking time bomb, perfect for the AGW hysteria mongers.
Another doom and gloom prediction fail, that won’t find it’s way into the mainstream headlines.
The best part of that page was the Sandra Bullock look-alike.
Got a new puppy. named him Clathrate.
I’ve heard from Santa that the Polar Bears have already been firing up the excess methane using captured Greenpeace paraphernalia – as reported by Greenpeace survivors, the bears did say “thanks”. Apparently Ms. Claus and the dwarfs are also with-holding this year’s electronic ignition devices just in case. So the methane situation up there is probably already well in hand, even if not so in my own home. And in my dear sister’s. But we passed the tipping point long ago, so the real answer is adaptation, anyway.
4.5 billion? Farting is apparently deadlier than zombies. It is too bad this isn’t a silent killer as far as the media is concerned.
Honestly, they are aware that methane turns into CO2 pretty quickly right? And that methane growth has flat-lined?
No?
can we get the stupid people unionized so we can just look for the STUPID label?
This gives whole new context to “silent but deadly”.
