You know, we should chat about global warming

How many nations are there in the world? How many of them are UN member states? Please be specific.

FYI - Over the decades, on other websites :eek: , I’ve been in discussions concerning Australia’s self-proclaimed control over it’s Australian Whale Sanctuary and the Australian Antarctic Territory. I learned that only four (4) member nations of the UN recognized Australia’s claim; the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France and Norway. I also learned that 189 do not recognize Australia’s claim.

What I found interesting about the repeated media outlet’s claims of “nearly/almost 200” nations allegedly having signing off on COP21 is the astonishing lack of detail. With all of their man-power, time, and money, why couldn’t the media outlets provide an exact number? How lazy are they? It’s not as if another nation joins the UN on a weekly basis.

Then you agree that the agreement has to be ratified before it’s legally binding.

If we agree, will you let the Mods take mercy on poor Smeghead and close the thread?

Gee Whiz, are you actually trying to blame me for Smeghead’s dilemma? How desperate are you? Are you actually claiming that I’m the one keeping this thread open? I’ll respond to posters who address me. They may not like my response but life’s a bitch. I assume Smeghead is an adult and has internet access.

Have you made your request to ANY of the other posters who have posted in this thread?

FYI - I believe the proper procedure is for Smeghead to contact the mods via the little red/white triangle located in the upper right corner. You can do it for him if you believe he’s, for whatever reason, unable to follow instructions.

So why are you so distressed that these articles won’t specify the exact number of countries in the world? Do you think they’re hiding something? Does this oversight somehow invalidate their efforts to control the world’s pollution? “Oh dear, we can’t take part in saving the planet. We don’t know if we accounted for every nation in the world. Did that coup in South Sudan divide the country yet?”

Don’t you care about Smeghead’s feelings?

I find it interesting that the media outlets are too lazy to actually verify the stories they publish. The UN/COP handed their fawning media a press release and the media published it unquestioned. They must assume that people like yourself won’t ask any questions, either.

doorhinge, any comment on the unexpected and potentially devastating warming of freshwater lakes? Or is that just part of the normal cycle, and we should ignore it?

Engaging him discursively is a waste of time. Just make fun of him. You know, because he’s fucking stupid and such.

Don’t you care about Smeghead’s feelings?

Why should you ignore it? Global warming has been occurring since the last ice age. I would think it reasonable for you to expect it.

No, I care about yours. You seem really upset about something and I’m here to help. :slight_smile:

Is there a video link to the UN’s press conference? Maybe we can see if any reporters ask questions. That should settle if they’re publishing “unquestioned.”

You keep repeating the same thing as if it’s potentially earth-shattering but you provide no reason why we should care. So far, all the UN is doing is announcing goals. All you seem to be concerned about is whether the math is right.

No, but from what you chose to quote I agree that you’re either irredeemably stupid or willfully ignorant, and probably both. It also reconfirms my assessment that it would have been easier to explain it to a cat.

And please keep repeating that “global warming has been occurring since the last ice age” in case anyone still has any lingering doubts about the veracity of that first sentence. When you keep repeating it like a mantra of the mentally challenged even after the facts have been carefully explained to you, no other conclusion is possible except irredeemable stupidity or willful ignorance.

:sigh: Worth a try.

Of course, this is very likely the most attention he’s been paid in ages. Possibly ever.

I dunno. The Bridgegate thread supplied him with plenty of nourishment.

Reread my post about you getting fat on ice cream. It will explain why the argument you just made is so laughable.

You can lead a troll to water but you can’t make it think.

Doorhinge, you’re a complete fucking moron.

Ya’ know, for a complete asshole, Doorhinge certainly gets a lot of ink.

I think Trump has stolen Doorhinge’s playbook

Let the moron have the last post. That should be a rule. Save the hamsters!

I think the tornadoes were Jesus sending a message about gay sex. Among the dead are sodomites, as well as libtards who support queer marriage, sodomy, progressive taxation or baby killing. Among the patriotic real Americans whose lives were also sacrificed, many have cousins or acquaintances who are queer or Democrat. (And of course the Lord redeemed some of his chosen people as well.)

The storms had another good effect. Already the libtard blogs are “crediting” the extreme weather to Algore’s climate change. :smack: But just as God planted the dinosaur skeletons to test our Faith, so he changes weather to entrap atheist “science” lovers into sinning with their thoughts and losing their Salvation. Win-win.

Hail Mary, Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Did everyone have a Merry Christmas? I did. Family, friends, whiskey - another great Christmas week.

subterraneanus, you’re a complete fucking asshole.
