A disturbing report out this week states that the world's penguin
population is in dramatic decline with more than a fifth of their
species facing extinction - and the reason given is down to a marked
increase in homosexual and lesbian behaviour amongst the birds.
"They
simply aren't breeding," says zoologist and gay animal expert, Petter
Bockman. "Sixty years ago, one in ten pairs were gay. Today, it's
closer to one in four. Their global population has fallen by over half
during the last 100 years and now stands at less than 10 million."
The
report explains that three penguin species, the Humboldt, Fiordland
Crested and the Yellow-eyed are most at risk, as their extreme
gender-bender behaviour has reduced populations by up to two-thirds.
The
Humboldt, found mostly in Chile and Peru, have only 12,000 pairs left
of which 1 in 2 are presently gay; The Fiordland Crested, from New
Zealand, have just 3,000 pairs where again 1 in 2 are gay; and the
worst example, the yellow-eyed, also native to New Zealand, have a mere
1,500 pairs, of which only 250 are heterosexual.

Al Gore has started pushing his next wacky vision in order to combat
his none existent global warming. He has started to call for all
greenhouses to be banned.
Many
greenhouses are injected with extra CO2 in order to make the plants
within them grow quicker and produce more luscious crops.
'Some
of the greenhouse owners pump up to 1500 parts per million of CO2 into
their greenhouses,' Gore yelled, as he stamped his feet on the ground
like a spoilt brat. 'We can't have this, it may give the impression, to
some people, that plants actually like CO2 and it isn't, after all, the
deadly poison that we try to make on that it is.'
Bey Tech, the
world's number one producer of greenhouse CO2 generators and black box
burners told us that most plants evolved when the planet had much more
CO2 in its atmosphere than it has today, that is why they grow better
when you introduce more CO2 into your greenhouse.
'Gore and his
anti CO2 plebs are just closet commie nutters,' Bey Tech's managing
director told us. 'They're just looking for a way to take everyone back
to the Stone Age, they should be strung up and quartered for what they
are doing. We need more CO2 to grow more crops and help the world's
starving millions.'
The story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.

“Correlation is not causation!” say the science types. The meaning
of this timeless refrain is clear: Just because you find two metrics
correlate, throughout space or time, does not necessarily mean one
metric is a causative agent of the other. Science cannot be useful to
us if it doesn’t measure reality, and part of reality is the coincidence.
Scientists must therefore be prepared for the eventuality in which they
invest treasure and ego into investigating causation, and ultimately
find out it just isn’t there.
Reverend
Al seems to have missed this. If you’ve watched his movie, you know an
important part of his theory is that two curved lines happen to match
up. He regales us with a story about one of his former classmates
accidentally discovering the theory of continental drift with his
observation that the eastern shoreline of South America is shaped very
much like the western shoreline of Africa. Then he looks at the
correlation between CO2 saturation and something called the mean global
temperature or some such. And wonders aloud: Huh. I wonder if we have
the same thing happening here?

This is the passenger plane experts say could help the aviation industry become green.
Developed by little known UK based budget airline EasyFly, it could cut carbon emissions by 25 per cent thanks to its construction from lighter materials such as compacted cardboard.
A
model of the plane goes on display at the Science Museum today as part
of a new exhibition focusing on the environmental impact of air travel.
EasyFly
says a full-size version could take to the skies by 2016. The firm is
discussing the project with Boeing, Airbus and Rolls-Royce.

I recently had major heart surgery. I now have more bypasses than
the St. Louis metropolitan area. It is one of those experiences that
makes you reflect back on your life and question the direction you are
going in the future.
Several weeks after my surgery, my physician sat me down and asked,
"Mr. Shorr, do you know what caused your heart disease?" I immediately
replied, "Of course, global warming!"
After watching hours and hours of television during my recovery, I
can honestly tell you that global warming is the cause of every malady
on this earth. It causes the rain
to fall or droughts to happen. It causes tornadoes and hurricanes. It
causes elephants to stampede. It causes children to watch "Spongebob
Squarepants" and reruns of "M-A-S-H."

 THE LIBERAL MEDIA is often accused of exaggerating the effects of global warning in order to advance our own selfish, narrow-minded agenda of limiting the growth of big business, restricting free enterprise, saving the planet, etc. And yet, we journalists have a duty to the truth. And so it is at the risk of being unfairly attacked once again that I feel I must call your attention to a recent news story in USA Today. I'm quoting it verbatim: "As climate change warms the nation, giant Burmese pythons could colonize one-third of the USA, from San Francisco across the Southwest, Texas and the South and up north along the Virginia coast, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps released Wednesday. The pythons can be 20 feet long and 250 pounds. They are highly adaptable to new environments."

Hollywood is about to release a remake of the science fiction classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
This
time, rather than coming to earth to warn us about our dangerous foray
into the nuclear age, Klaatu and Gort have returned to caution us about
-- wait for it -- global warming!
Honestly, you can't possibly make this stuff up!
As marvelously reported Friday by Vic Holtreman of Screen Rant (his delicious picture to the right, emphasis added):
