I have a boner already.

We are SOOOOO on the cusp of peak EVERYTHING. That's why I'm livin' large now. Old age is gonna suck more than usual.

you're all invited to New Zealand. We'll be closing our borders in 2014

I ain't got the mad skillz NZ needs. I'd get kicked out in 2011.

you know about sailing... we'll trade an Indian who doesn't for you

Deal. So when the polar icecaps melt and we have to live like that shitty Waterworld movie, you'll all know how to excape the smokers on jetskis. And krsna will tattoo a map of dry land on Tricky's firstborn, and then we'll carve out the blubber from Danzy and use his carcass to sail all of humanity to a new tomorrow.

This just... might... work.

for now it's the best plan we got

I would have no qualms killing Danzig for use as a sail boat, or for sail boat/heating materials.

How would you counter the putrefaction if you were to make said me-boat?

For the smell:  OZIUM!

well, and maybe some gas masks...

So, water levels globally would probably rise only about 100-120 meters if all of the ice in the whole world melted into the ocean.  We'd never be in a Waterworld-type situation.

Besides, the real concern with increased CO2 in the atmo is much more impactful to a Waterworld-type scenario than even the water levels...  CO2 dissolves into the ocean, increasing the acidity of the ocean globally.

Can't have a maritime way of life if all of the seafood is dead.

Fuck you, Poindexter!
