I created a thread to discuss the global warming tangent.

So I'm going to talk global warming. Let's get a couple of things out of the way. Global warming is real. Global warming is bad. Global warming is caused by man. We should do something about it. So, why bother with a thread? One of the things that bugs me about the "debate" on global warmi...

You're a citizen of Ireland? What the fuck are you waiting for? :) From what I've read, they have some nuttiness of their own going on. (I've never lived there, but mom did.
