Wow, 384 pages — so not a graphic novel, which was the impression I got from the cover image.

The blurb makes it sound a bit… Pythonesque, if you know what I mean. But that might be another wrong impression.

In any case, it must be a good read. I’ll add it to my list.

What a shame. Those who deny basic facts, like evolution and climate change, are lacking education. They want to ban anyone with alternate opinions, this is not intelligence; its ignorance. Also, they CAN be a Christian and also believe in climate change. Don’t they realize that? Believing in climate change is not incompatible with Christianity at all (I say this because the vast majority of these denialists are Christian).

I am not sure which is worse: An indifferent facebook or a facebook committed to doing the right thing in the worst possible way. What the hell are they thinking?

Oh never mind, they are just not thinking.

I got the book on your advice many moons ago and enjoyed it a great deal. Can’t wait to see your take on the post-climate change future!

Windy, both Gareth and I leave open the possibility that this was just some error by facebook. Having said that, both of us get regular junk mail, death threats (which I assume are generally bogus, but still…) and so on and so forth all the time from the gaggle of winged monkeys organized by various anti-climate science groups. The idea of a dozen or so of them clicking the “this is a bullying site” button on that facebook’s page is not even close to a paranoid idea. It is a reasonable conclusion, though certainly not proven.

So, to answer your question, yes I’ve considered that I might be paranoid and decided I’m not.

Have you considered that you are a condescending asshat?

Greg, have you considered the possibility that you are paranoid? Seriously this column is right up there with those written by militia members who believe that the black helicopters will be coming for them any day.

I second Greg’s praise for the Aviator. It is a good read.
