Earth Day

So it seems today is Earth Day.

It struck me today that with all this talk of global warming, there's one rather obvious solution to a heated-up biosphere:

Nuclear Winter.

That's right, folks. It may sound like killing a fly with a mining truck, but consider the overall benefits:

It would reduce the human population of Earth, thus significantly reducing our carbon footprint.

It would wipe out several thousand species, but hey, they were going to be extinct anyway, and the biosphere will recover... eventually.

It would stop the war in Iraq, or at least take it to a more manageable level.

It would make life interesting for those humans who survive the initiation phase

No one would worry about porn on the Internet anymore.

People would be born with superpowers.

It would send a clear signal to aliens: Don't fuck with us.

And it would generate significant cloud cover, so we won't be able to see the Big Rock when it comes.

See? I have the solution to most of our problems, right here. Nuclear Winter: Stop Global Warming Now!
