Best Thermageddon Scare Headline Ever: Oceans To Boil Dry
From The Scotsman. Check out this headline:
"A GLOBAL warming Armageddon in which the oceans boil dry could theoretically happen on Earth, researchers claim"
I guess they think "researchers claim" sounds better than "scientists say." I mean they could be sandwich scientists, right? But the best part is the sourcing...that's right, none.
Hell, when they wrote Batboy Attacks or Elvis and JFK Meet Space Aliens At The White House, the Weekly World News crew would at least make up a Dr. R U. Pullinmytit from the Estonian Research Society.
Apparently, after drinking enough whisky to think this one up, anything else was too much work.
How much do you suppose they'll have to drink to top it? More importantly, how can I help? ;-)
PS: Perhaps this is their source.

Enough Luddite Hockey Stick Truthers run around with their hair on fire, it could boil the oceans, I guess!
I don't think mere alcohol can top that. You want a better headline, you're going to have to spike their whiskey with a little acid.
Proof--You forgot "scientists say." ;-)
Eric--Yes, psychomimetics would be the way to go.
soooo if the oceans boil dry, then steam clouds form, so the atmosphere could support those steam clouds, the entire oceans would become clouds? Would this create rain you think??
Theoretically, the moon could be
made of Swis cheese after all!
In a few more billion years, when all of the hydrogen in the sun has fused into helium, the sun will go nova and, yes, the oceans will boil away. We need a 5000% tax on everything so our wonderful government can fund research on a solar renewer to prevent this catastrophe. Hurry! We don't have much time to prepare!
So, Ogrrre...what kind of commission you getting?
Well this is going to stink.
