Pirates and Global Warming

Pirates and Global Warming
“Decreases in relative pirate populations and corresponding increases in global temperatures”.



As the above graphic clearly illustrates, there is an undeniable coloration between decreasing pirate populations and global warming. As the relative numbers of pirates have decreased over time, mean global temperatures have increased at an approximate corresponding rate.*

Are you a Pastafarian by any chance?

It's a little early in the morning for this, but thank you for your in-depth research!

So can we conclude that the lack of pirates increases global warming? The remedy is obvious. We need more pirates.

There were many on here once, but we are slowly fading in numbers.

Ramen!

I bet the flying spaghetti monster smokes pirate kake.

I will buy a parrot today and maybe start making a peg leg.... For the good of mother Earth.

Probably a cycle like the medieval warming prior to the little ice age.

He's got a chart, it's obviously true!

Piracy....fun for the whole family!

I prefer this chart, which clearly shows that the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the feudal lords of the High Middle Ages really needed to rein in their use of fossil fuels:

It was those hot gold earrings and those cooking plumed hats. Arrrggg.

So you prefer fallacies. Good call, genius.

Thanks for the link! If the chart I posted is inaccurate, I would certainly like to know, and a calm, rational discussion of it will certainly be of more use than a sarcastic insult.

You could have easily found out that the chart you posted was inaccurate by a quick google search. So maybe research for yourself first before spreading more disinformation. How about a rational self-check rather than having to bottle-feed?

But, the pirate chart...it's accurate right? I say this as they should not be inversely proportional. The more warming...the more water....hence more pirates,no?!
