NEWS FLASH: Planet Earth's warming climate demonstrated to possess weapons of mass destruction

These weapons include chemical (drought = less H₂O), biological (more rapid spread of disease in hotter tropical climes), and a de-facto nuclear capability that has already wiped out most of the city of New Orleans.  We missed our chance for a preemptive strike; clearly, the time for retaliation is now!

A public-service announcement: PLASTIC IS POISON

As far as I know, swallowing solid plastic objects doesn't cause a big problem because they go straight through your digestive tract without being broken down. But when exposed to liquid for longer periods, or when heated, plastic starts to leach hazardous chemicals into that liquid. Here are some safety tips:

• When you buy bottled water, don't reuse the bottle more than once or twice.  (In other words, don't make the same mistake I just found out I've been making for the past three years.)  Reuseable water bottles may have some protection against leaching.


• Storing liquidy or acidy foods in glass containers is a good idea (source).


• NEVER MICROWAVE PLASTIC.


• In general, plastics number 3, 6 (styrofoam), and 7 are the most potentially dangerous, although if a #7 container also has the letters PLA on it, then it's a safe and biodegradable plastic (source).

Thank you for your attention.
