Add CommentThe only one I really have a problem with is the mug. Seriously, I may be convinced that global warming is a real phenomenon, but that doesn't mean we have to go out there sensationalizing it in a bogus fashion. That's just going to convince more people that it's all a joke.

There is a strong consensus that we may already be past a point of inevitability, where we cannot react quickly enough to prevent massive changes.
So, ultimately, the joke is on all of us.
I was given one of these mugs for Christmas and within three weeks nearly all of the heat sensitive image had fallen off (due to mistreatment I reckon).

Check out www.myfiddlehead.com. We use them at my school and they really save electricity. You replace fewer PC's also.
