    Yawn, hardly a stunning invention.

    I was expecting something like cold fusion. Any else is just amateur.

    Global warming is a myth.
    • Food shortages
    • Water scarcity
    • Fossil fuel depletion
    • Deforestation
    • Icecap depletion
    • Population explosion
    • Acid rain
    • Reduced fertility in European males
    • Species extinction
    • Tectonic upheavals
    • Rising sea levels
    • Freakish weather
    • Methane pollution


    Dwindling resources and climate change is all a myth perpetrated by big business, supported by our governments and the media.
    Trust me, It's all just to keep the peasants in line.

    If this isn't a joke post (sometimes hard to tell on CUK), I'd say something in the vein of Fuel cells?

    And switch from the old mantra that the world is warming to the new one, it is warmer now than it has been for a long time.

    FFS, and people can't see through this bollux?

    Oh, is it that artificial meat thing? That was all over the news last week, or the week before that.
