April Fools joke or not, the launch titles for the 3DS are a joke. But they do have a lot of upcoming games that have a lot of potential, we will see then.
Keep in mind though that the US is one of the only countries who haven't signed the Kyoto protocol. It's highly unlikely that the reason is that the US government truly believes global warming doesn't exist rather than a powerful corporate lobby against having to make expensive changes to their modus operandi which might put them at a disadvantage to nations like China. That's why they've gone out of their way to prove climate change scientists, and as a result the US is one of the only countries who truly believe that global warming is a bunch of bullcrap. It's not some bizarre conspiracy theory, it makes perfect sense business/politics wise and really has nothing to do with science.
@Mr_Clark The article states that there have been errors and exaggeration in the amounts of water vapor and its true effects on climate change by some researchers. This is true. Nowhere in the article does it present solid evidence arguing against the global warming phenomenon, but rather points to weaknesses of previous studies/calculations. Again, that is always open for discussion. But your quotes are from 2003, that's over 8 years ago, science moves fast. Kind of easy to choose tidbits of an article and use the quotes out of context to make a point. Science is defined as systemic branches of knowledge based on observation/experimentation, not a holier than thou philosophical ethos for the right to an opinion, give me a break. Some people still believe the world is flat, don't believe me? Google it. They're entitled to their opinion, doesn't make it right. In this case when people's evidence is "lol global warming is a bunch of crap, go check it out idiot", which has been the argument of most of the people here, it's hard to take them seriously. You're basically the first to actually use any quotes besides their own general knowledge to make an argument, and there's nothing wrong with that, you're free to argue otherwise.
@Sickmxc The rate of deforestation has slowed over the last 10 years, but each year an area roughly the size of Costa Rica is still destroyed, according to a comprehensive forest review released today by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 25 March 2010 Look, even if you don't believe in Global warming for whatever reasons, you can't deny the acceleration of environmental damage that's going on so alarmingly fast. We live on the planet too, and until idiots like Evan 21 realize that we are dooming ourselves. Glacier melting means that the sea level is gonna rise, and besides habitat damage, it's gonna flood major coastal cities which are economic hubs. Even minor temperature and seasonal changes can ruin entire crops, and food shortages won't bode well with population increases not skipping a beat it's a formula for disaster. But whatever, keep lulling yourself into a false sense of security and pretend that everything is alright, that always works out right?
@Sickmxc What are you basing your statements on? Link me a solid/scientific source instead of what you hear from your dad. National Geographic: "Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth's surface. (See an interactive feature on how global warming works.)" "Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it." And to counter your brilliant scientific point /sarcasm: "Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today's changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less." 100 years of alarmingly high increases in temperature, which coincides exactly with the time of the rise of the industrial revolution and the burning of fossil fuels. Coincidence? Would be wishful to think so.
