Okay, I just met my friend's new girlfriend and somehow we got on the topic of global warming. I made this one point... she was speechless. It was like I just told her that up was down and down was up:
"We've been burning fossil fuels for over a hundred years now and yet there's been no perceptible increase in sea levels. I mean come on, shouldn't the maps have changed just a little since the early 1900s? Shouldn't a city or two be under water? And people still believe in global warming... Give me a break."
I'm sure someone's thought of this before but I still thought I'd share it since it's pure gold. This is my follow-up joke though, don't steal it!
"I mean honestly, what have the sea levels been waiting for for the past century? For the Mayan calendar to end? For the last Bon Jovi concert? If they would just rise a few inches, I'd have beachfront property right now."
Once the Fall Semester rolls around, I think I'm going to grab a video camera and pose this, and a few other simple questions to some college professors I know... :cool:
