Climate change is not a joke, but this video is. ;D
Watch and share this video if you think climate change denial is
ridiculous!

Must-See: John Oliver and Martin Sheen Make Hilarious Doomsday
Video ;D
Cole Mellino
Last night on Last Week Tonight, John Oliver finds quite a gem.
Apparently, in the early days of CNN, Ted Turner produced a
doomsday video that CNN anchors recently reported is to be
played in the event that the world is coming to an end. And just
what exactly has CNN decided should air in the final moments of
humanity’s time on Earth? A band very unenthusiastically playing
a slow dirge.
Well, John Oliver has decided that is just an awful way for
humanity to go out. So he’s enlisted Martin Sheen to make a much
better version of a doomsday video, which encapsulates all of
humanity’s successes and failures (and there are some epic
failures). Sheen lists some of our major achievements, such as
our total domination of every other species on the planet,
becoming the first species to walk on two legs and then figuring
out a way not to (thanks, segways!) and inventing a cereal that
was nothing but cookies. Sheen reminds us not to be sad over
what we’re losing, but instead think fondly over what we had.
Wait until you see what Sheen gives us as the final image
humanity will ever see:

Star Date 344,757.093821 (late naked ape tool makers date 2066):
Gardener Commander Zarkploof Report 747: [/font][/center]
The last of the naked ape tool makers ceased biochemical
activity in the most recent revolution of the blue planet around
it's sun. It fell in a nuclear waste pool while being chased at
night by a pack of large canines. The canines left at dawn. The
ape swam, then crawled, out but lapsed into unconsciousness from
treading water for so long. It was then bitten by several large
rodents and bled to death while trying to fend them off. The
rodents, the canines and a nearby ant colony disposed of the
remains. All of those creatures subsequently died of
radionuclide poisoning. The radionuclide pollution is extensive.
We have sent probes to aid existing species in maintaining some
vitality. We are doing this in order to provide the biochemical
substrate for reseeding efforts so we won't have to start from
microscopic autotrophs in rebuilding the biological energy
absorption pyramid.
It is estimated that 245,000 local years will be required for
the nuclear contaminants (Mostly the one the naked apes called
Plutonium but there are several others) to cease degrading the
biosphere with harmful mutations.
Our DNA bank has 157% of the species populating the planetary
biosphere prior to the naked ape polluting millennium that
destroyed the naked apes. NOTE: We will file a detailed report
on the extinct species such as the giant reptiles and mammals in
regard to the reseeding timeline.
For the next 100,000 years we will seed various fungi to absorb
radionuclides for the purpose of collecting them and depositing
them in the local sun. Perhaps, because of this activity, the
time for active reseeding can take place somewhat earlier than
245,000 years. But we must bear in mind what happened on the
Zeta 382, which required an increase in wait time, instead of a
decrease. As was the case at Zeta 382, there are chemicals the
naked killer apes produced in their ignorance that, though not
radioactive, are deleterious to life and even more difficult to
eliminate than the radioactive elements. The glyphosate poison
is one of many that are ubiquitous in this thoroughly degraded
biosphere. So caution is advised.
As to the naked killer ape tool makers, we recommend the DNA of
this species be modified to prevent self awareness. It seems
that self awareness, though it does help them develop primitive
cause and effect horizon logic, does not aid them in avoiding
the manufacture of tools to wantonly exploit the biosphere they
require for life. These beings always seem to fail through the
"fool with a tool" axiom of degenerate self aware species
development postulated by the philosopher Glado the Putzenko in
his "Beings that Don't Understand Being" treatise. They cannot
seem to grasp the idea that defecating where one obtains
nourishment is suicidal when the product of defecation is an
industrial pollutant.
This planet is a very depressing and sad place to visit at the
moment. Speaking for myself and all of the crew, I request home
leave equivalent to 20 local planet years on our home planets.
One of the factors creating stress in our crew is the fact that
the naked killer ape tool makers looked so much like us.

When Do People Think That the World Will End?
HTML http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-scared002.gif
According to a poll done in 20 countries in 2012, roughly 15% of
people believe the world will end during their lifetimes. The
poll included 16,262 people from various countries such as
China, Russia, Japan, the United States, Spain, Australia, Great
Britain, Indonesia and Germany.
One in seven people taking part in the poll expressed a belief
that the end of the world is near. The results did vary from
country to country however. For example, 22% of poll
participants from the United States said that the world will end
during their lifetimes, whereas only 6% of poll participants
from France felt the same way. The poll also showed higher rates
of concern about the world ending among participants under the
age of 35.
More about end of the world predictions:
•About 10% of people thought the world would end on December 21,
2012, the end date of the Mayan calendar.
•According to a poll published in Newsweek on November 1, 1999,
45% of Christians believe that the world will end at Armageddon,
in a battle between Jesus and the antichrist.
•There have been possibly 100 or more wrong predictions about
the date for the end of the world since the 1st century A.D.

[font=times new roman]Modern Rattitudes[/font]
Watch New York’s sewer rats discuss climate change
By Amelia Urry on 4 Jun 2015
You know how we talk about climate change as an existential
threat to human civilization? There are a handful of
thought-experimenters who suggest that, when the Antropocene
does in all the “Anthro,” other species will inevitably move up
into the ecological niches we vacate. The best candidate for the
job? Rats.
Welcome to the hypothetical Ratocene. ;D The Adaptors have the
story about what a future rat-world might look like in their
podcast this week — but they also got the on-the-ground scoop
from rats on the ground. They’re surprisingly talkative: Watch
the video above to find out the hopes and fears of some of New
York City’s finest rodent residents. (Hint: They’re about as
conflicted as we are.)
And if you haven’t heard The Adaptors yet — check yourself. The
whip-smart tag-team of Flora Lichtman and Katherine Wells are
taking on the very wacky world of climate adaptation in brand
new ways, with a podcast that explores everything from
human-made tornadoes and earth-bound stars to whether we should
consider genetically modifying humans to be more
climate-friendly (cat eyes, anyone?). Not to mention they’ve got
the low-down on yak science, and a series of climate confessions
I think we can all secretly identify with.
Confession time: We have a little bit of a crush (ok, we have
quite a few) and we’re looking forward to seeing what they get
up to next. If you agree, may we suggest you subscribe to the
podcast?

Agelbert NOTE: Egocentric people will not enjoy the last part of
the rattitude discussion. Narcissists will find it "irrelevant"
and "boring". [img width=40
