   HilariousI wonder where all the laughs are coming from, as the audience doesn't seem to be having a very good time whenever they show them.
   Obviously she's just a comedian, but the scary thing is that a lot of people actually seem to think that way. Warming = no more bad winters, no more blizzards, all the time lying on the beach. It's a pity that most current beaches will be drowned by then. And joking about global warming will just enhance the belief people want to have that it's nothing serious.
   Ignorance or feigned ignorance can be funny in some circumstances, but when it has to do with something real or serious, then I find it more terrifying than humorous. Look at the U.S. president.

   I liked that.Sarcasm doesn't work for everyone. The laughs were canned and were obviously designed to contrast with shots of the concerned and silent audience, probably one that was watching "An Inconvenient Truth." I think there are levels of humor, as there are levels of morality. Some levels of humor are beyond the reach of many. Japanese humor is either on a higher plane than I can comprehend or a lower one :)

   well, yes and noI liked the shot of the happy young family climbing Mount Everest.  And, BioD, no doubt you appreciated how sneakily she knocked that guy off his bike.  The parody of the "hockey stick," based on projections of her sweater budget, seemed to do things backwards; but in fact, I believe her point, and can anecdotally support it.  On the other hand, taking the blanket from the homeless man was over-the-top.

   Yea. Really funny.A bunch more dead people and refugees. A bunch more extinct species. More disease and general human suffering. Oh, but milder winters. That's funny.
