Gobal Warming - It Is Now
FOUND by Ryan Delehanty in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
A glimpse of the impending epidemic that is "Gobal Warming." Notice the stink lines rising from the earth. Become aware please!

Look out! The Earth is plummeting through space! I didn't know that global warming would also make us fall out of orbit.

Also, the "then" ice burg looks a bit like a kkk member, so maybe it's a good thing it's shrinking.

those aren't stink lines, it's the earth scratching its nails on the chalk board to get our attention.

This totally looks like something my 10 year old would make and hang around the neighborhood. I'm so glad our youth are concerned about the future of the earth.

Become aware. Our planet needs more wares!

Not only that, but did you notice how gobal warming affects the placement of the continents on the globe? I think the glue that holds them to the ocean floor must be melting, too.

Night in gale
I saw this shortly after midnight and the first thing that popped into my head was "George Gobel", so I went to look for him on YouTube and got sucked into Johnny Carson-land for another hour, staying up way past my bedtime. You grown-ups out there will remember what I'm talking about. Don't go there unless you have some time to kill. Haha!

Sorry, I'm off the subject.
Also Night, if you ever have the time, check out "animal" for the muppets. He accompanied several great singers on the drums. And his duel with that really famous drummer is awesome.

"Be aware please. Global warming it is now. Soon swim you must. mmmMMmmm."

I thought the same thing, Effie. If global warming shrinks Klansmen, I'm gonna go back outside and start my car up again. And maybe I'll have some Aqua Net instead of coffee this morning.

The pictures of shrinking icebergs look like those pictures of up close pimples shrinking. My first thought this morning, global warning = good skin.... nice!

I think Al Gore, on the bus during a lecture tour, was brainstorming to come up with a title for the sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth," and accidentally dropped his notes in Halifax along the way.

Global Warming...IT IS NOW!

Sure we may all be under water soon... But if you believe the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," it will all freeze up again pretty quickly. All you need to do in order to survive, is hole up in the nearest library and wait. (Oh: And try not to get eaten by wolves.)

Just please, please take some time to determine which books to burn first. Do, indeed, start with the tax codes; and never, never burn the rarest of the rare (just like in the movie).

Thank you.

I think those are heat lines rising up from the earth--hence "warming". But stink lines could be appropriate, too!

Lady, you also have to stop using the Styrofoam cups in your break room. THEN we'll leave you alone.

Lady Brandy,

Don't forget the cool spiral fluorescent light bulbs; you need to use those, too.

I love this kid! In honor of Earth Day the company I work for has stopped ordering bottled water as of today, gave everyone cloth grocery bags, a coffee mug & a rust proof water bottle. Yay! Let's keep this Earth in a fab condition so my kids kids kids can play outside. Thanks to everyone who cares!

Not stink lines, steam! As in melting polar icecaps and evaporating water.

Make fun all you want, troops, while you still can. Someday it won't be quite so funny.

Wombles have known this for a long time, as have the more intelligent humans.

Those might just be stink lines: If everything heats up as much as it's supposed to, things could get pretty putrid 'round here.... Like an old ‘fridge which has never been emptied. *shudders at the memories*

not so clever in naysaying? doomsdaying?
If it is, as many leading scientists say, really too late to abate or reverse climate change, I guess our alternative is to observe major human and animal migrations as well as the drift of arable lands to new regions. I don't want to sound callous, but it will be pretty fascinating to watch how we deal with all of this. And I guess my money is on that fact that we WILL be watching how we deal with this, for better or for worse, because I can't see the tide changing though so many (myself included) wish it would.

I'm not saying to continue unsustainable practices by any means. Let's keep improving our sustainable living, but I think climate change is our future. We and our children will be both spectators to and actors in that epic transition.

The first thing to go when you have gobal warming is the l's. They melt too easiy. Seriousy. Oops, too ate.

Global Warming is a lie. its so the global elite can create a "carbon tax" to supply the New World Order.

They should explain to these kids that global warming would be a bad thing, were it not for the oncoming ice age.
With any luck, things will even out; Mother Nature knows what she is doing, and it is arrogant for mankind to think we can skew it one way or the other.

@Chad in the future Are you kidding me?!! Please, please tell me you're joking! You must have believed that going into Iraq was a good idea too! And all the other big and little lies Bush has told the gullible.

C'mon wake up, even George Bush is starting to come around about the damage we've done the Earth.

I really like this. Obviously a kid drew it, and it's sad that this mess that we're leaving behind for them will be theres to deal with. But the fact that the next generation's eyes are more open to these problems then the last ones were at least shows that there's hope.

Duh in USA
Of course, ice floating in water displaces it... plus the fact that ice takes up more space than water...

I smell bullshit.

@ duh in usa

Geez, that's amazing. Using fifth-grade science you've spotted the gaping flaw in the scientific thinking of the world's climatologists with all their fancy doctorates and what-have-you. How could they all be so completely blind to what is so manifestly obvious?

You deserve the Nobel Prize.

............

Meanwhile, the find looks like a draft version of a poster assignment. Good on the kid for doing a draft. In my day I would've launched into the one and only version to get it over with, and eded up handing in the 'Gobal' version. Possibly with an all too obvious 'r' crowbarred in there, or above with the always handy '^' symbol.

(People in restaurant gasp)

Moe: And I can tell you where you can put your freakin sodi too!

I don't know why but I find this picture very graphically appealing. It reminds me of the posters we made in elementary school when I was in "The Three Rs Club" and "Kids for Saving Earth". The incredible shrinking ice berg is the best part.
