    The 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.

    Hey, until MILLIONS of people are affected or start dying it IS a joke to just about everyone.

    Some people still do not believe this, but they also think the world is flat.

    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).

    At the moment the mug is only showing a small part of Australia to be above sea level, so I'm moving there as soon as I can, just to be safe.

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