It sure seems like just about everything can be blamed on anthropogenic global warming these days. From acne or the end of beer as we know it, to psychiatric illness and smaller brains, it all can and has been attributed to that evil global warming. And of course it’s all our fault for improving our lives through the use of energy. More specifically it’s all or mostly America’s fault.
As crazy as the alleged effects are, the causes are getting pretty absurd as well. We all know that CO2 is the alleged culprit. 
We are also told that we have to make drastic changes to the way we live - even pay taxes on the CO2 we are responsible for. But now we can add research to the seemingly endless list of human activities contributing to global warming. According to Hervé Philippe, a Université de Montréal professor of biochemistry, his own research produces more than twice the amount of CO2 than the average American. (44 tons vs. 20 tons respectively).
I did my PhD on nucleotide sequencing in the hope of advancing our knowledge of biodiversity, but I never thought that the research itself could have a negative impact on biodiversity,
he said, during a recent biology department symposium.
The solution?
For universities, he recommends having less frequent international conferences, increasing the use of video-conferences, avoiding research on well explored topics, reducing publications and evaluating the amount of CO2 produced by research projects
So there you have it: Global Warming is official caused by hot air from the researchers themselves.

How dare you mock such a serius crisis! our planet is dying because of us and moron wingnuts like you MAL-agent are the main problem!!
You prevent people from taking action now by pushing debate when there is no room for debate
we all have to act now or we will all kill ourselves - look at what happened in myanmar! you murdered hundreds of thousands of people with your carbon polluting waste filled pathetic capitalist existance. You murdered 3 million people in iraq so you could drive your dam SUV around and your are still killing people!!
you have no soul you capitalist fuck
I was waiting for the punchline, I thought: surely such an over-the-top comment must be satire. Apparently not, shellie actually believes “we murdered” hundreds of thousands of people in Myanmar with capitalism (and here I thought it was a storm).
It must be a orderly and convenient world shellie, where all of the wrongs and sufferings known to mankind can be explained by a blind hatred of capitalism.
shellie, I have killed no one either directly or indirectly.
Despite your poorly articulated ranting against Capitalism, I am still a Capitalist and proud of it.
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to how you managed to get a computer or internet access without partaking in a bit of that Capitalism yourself?
I’m sure it had to be produced by some big company somewhere and then delivered by some other company that used fuel that came from oil.
shellie - is this your car?
fuck you malagent and you too independent both of you are capitalist pig bastards. there is not point in talking to you about the damage you are causing and the people you are killing
you are too busy drinking and driving in your suv listing to bible tapes to discuss the real issues
you are not interested in fixing the crisis you have created by being an all consuming capitalist. all you want to do is talk about science and make of of those like me that want to fix the mess you made
who cares if the earth is getting cooler that does not mean that you are not causing global warming or that we dont need to do something to stop the warming
Shellie,
I’ve considered a thorough response to your baseless accusations, and generally attempts to insult me specifically and capitalism in general.
However, after careful consideration I have just decided to block your IP address and let you whine else that I have stifled your “free speech”.
I will say this though: Yes I am a capitalist. I would like to thank you for your repeated visits to the site. Each time you view a page you contribute to my retirement fund.
