Down with the fungus.

Ha, the article states that "Fungus MAY affect global warming".

The EPA will say in theory fungus is causing global warming, must be recycled and the IRS will impose a high tax on it.

The Europeans (and Canada) will say there is already a world wide crisis of fungus growth therefore all fungi will be banned.

The Australians will say (at least one of them), just killing one fungi would help the earth, so lets use a blended fungus to replace it.

Gotta love the title, "Fungus may affect global warming," as if "global warming" was actually some kind of legitimate phenomenon.

So here we have scientists studying what effects, if any, fungus has on something that doesn't even exist. I suppose I shouldn't complain though, because at least this time they're not blaming SUV's or air-conditioners.

If there truly is global warming, why, according to the article, is 40% of the Earth's land surface covered with snow? Perhaps we should vent more R-134a so all this snow melts and the fungus dies.

Bunch of dumbasses with nothing better to do. These people need to get jobs.

Read one thing, can find a counter just as quick.

From:

http://www.co2science.org/journal/1999/v2n18b2.htm

"As the CO2 content of the air continues to rise, it is likely that most plants will exhibit increases in photosynthesis and growth. This common response should lead to greater above- and belowground biomass production. With larger root systems belowground, it is likely that greater mycorrhizal colonization will occur due to greater root surface area availability. Thus, in the future, plants should possess greater amounts of mycorrhizal cohorts to help them retrieve important mineral elements from the soil. Additionally, for plant species that exhibit photosynthetic acclimation, it is likely that resource optimization for nitrogen, and possibly P, may occur. Because most soil P is taken up by plants with the aid of mycorrhizal fungi, a decrease in P uptake could allow more energy to be used in creating additional and enhanced mycorrhizal networks, that ultimately could benefit their host plants to an even greater degree."

In addition there are over a million different specimens of fungi, they generate CO2 that aids in plant growth. This can be interpreted that fungi are working for animal life for survival as without plants, we will succumb.

I have a set of encyclopedias that has something positive to say about every form of life on this planet with just a few exceptions, the mosquito, the housefly, the politician, and the attorney.

Perhaps efforts should be made to rid ourselves of these pests once and for all.

As always Karl has the solution!!

Collect as much of this fungus as poss, using the unemployed as cheap labour and process it, pressing it in to a sheet material that car body panels can be made of. Of course you guys would immediatly reject this idea of cars being made from this material, claiming that there wouldn't be mushroom in them.....I guess that you lot just aren't funguys!!




Well I thought it was funny!
