Dinosaurs. Yeah. I said it. Motherfucking dinosaurs. Reduce your emissions or else dinosaurs will come back to life, find where you live and eat you.

It's been speculated that dinosaurs possibly reproduced asexually thus making all the offspring clones of their parents. This would mean that they would thrive as long as they were perfectly suited to the environment. However as soon as the environment changed there wasn't enough biodiversity for them to evolve and adapt to the new climate, vastly speeding up their extinction.

It's still not something we have to worry about seeing as we're pretty damn good at adapting.

It's always interesting how scientists gibber endlessly about all the species that will become extinct, but don't mention all the new ones that will evolve to the new climate. Like Dinosaurs. :)

I, for one welcome our new reptilian overlords. :)

I think if we can should get em young, tame them and keep them in zoos for everyone to see.

What could possibly go wrong?

Don't be a fool!

Blowing the stock up would be a much quicker way to pollute, you also get the burning plastic fumes going into the environment aswell.

You are always very quick to welcome our new overlords of any persuasion... Almost too quick, I might add :D

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to riding my Triceratops to school. That'll be cool!

Boy, am I glad I didn't mention DinoRiders - although I did mention riding a dino :D (Those were after my time... which is actually too bad! I'd've loved them!)

I was fucking right! Goddam global warming is a plot hatched by the dinosaurs to get themselves back on top!

Me and my friends would used to joke that it should be Mentrual Cycle... "Harness the Power! Menstrual Cycle!".... I guess you had to be there.

What are you basing that on? We've lived a fraction of the time that the dinosaurs and several other species spent on earth, and we've already managed to come up with several innovative ways in which we might wipe ourselves out.

Maybe the fact that we can design weapons and technologies capable of wiping us out is a surefire sign that we're not going to...the same brainpower that produces atomic weapons and combustion engines can also develop solutions to climate change and alternative sources of energy.

Who knows, if we're not careful, I may no longer be posting:

"Arrrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! I'm a pirate! Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

Instead some horrible lizard might be posting:

"Rrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!! I'm a velociraptor! Rrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"

"NORWICH: Global warming over the coming century could mean a return of temperatures last seen in the age of the dinosaur and lead to the extinction of up to half of all species, a scientist said on Thursday."

ThOSE scientists are wrong and are not in the loop with the newest hippest vast majority of climatologists meteorologists and accurate predictors of future global temperatures atmospheres and all heat sinks in the land on the sea and in the air who are all in 100% blind agreement with eachother prior to and especially after gathering data. Earth will not be near the same temperature ranges that occurred when dinosaurs were common. It will be much tooo hot for dinosaurs. The Earth will heat up to the temperatures it was when the demons from hell could walk the planet without freezing their tails off.

We will be overrun with demons again, On the plus side demons are at least slightly better to be infested with than yapping purse sized dogs or insurance salesmen or mimes.

I'm not questioning that we are capable of developing solutions, but rather whether we can overcome our path dependency and cultural bias toward unfettered growth, and actually implement them.

They just seem that way because they're cold-blooded and capable of eating their young. :p
