Dear Volcano,
We are going to have to fine you for excessive emissions.
xoxo,
EPA

    Hey! Maybe Al can sell it some carbon credits :)

  2. Mick says:

    Don’t forget to stop breathing too.

    • PortlandMark says:

      Science fail: life itself is carbon neutral. Breathing animals don’t introduce CO2 into the system, they liberate it from more complex chemicals as a byproduct of metabolic action.

  3. Kn0wledge1ne says:

    Is this strike 3 Rando?

    • Oh f*ck yeah.. this is just as craptastic as the other ones.

    • It’s like the opposite of an EWAdams LOL. It’s just as preachy, albeit slightly more smart ass. It’s not funny. And I don’t like this guy’s LOLs in general. So PK struck out looking in the bottom of the ninth of game 7 of the World Series with the bases loaded and its team down by 1 run.

      • wowyousuck says:

        You’re just pissed cause he actually made it up there. I think it’s funny, and an excellent stab of wit at the EPA’s ridiculous standards. Congrats cheezbuddy!

        • Oh yeah. Because I’VE never made it to the front page. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! The ones I’ve had make the front page have been way funnier than this piece of crap. And I’m sure the conservatrolls think anything that criticized environmental standards is funny, no matter how dull it is. (Please note I said conservatrolls, not conservatives. I make a distinction.)

          • I apologize to you guys if that came off as really egotistical. That egotistical rant was aimed at one jackass who ripped me. So, moving on…

            • wowyousuck says:

              Yeah, cause I TOTALLY ripped you. Burn to Rando… you’re funny. :)

              • I guess I could have read that the wrong way. I thought you meant I was jealous. I’m not jealous…although I am a little annoyed that this particular caption writer made the front page. jking is one of the most partisan conservatroll caption writers around. I can think of a couple who are worse, but not many.

                • It's so obvious! says:

                  In through the nose, out through the mouth, Rando. Pretty thin, shi!tty, and stinky-ass sock. Don’t touch it, or you’ll get teh Athlete’s Foot on your *ahem* self! :)

                • wowyousuck says:

                  I wasn’t implying that you were jealous, which is why I said pissed. If I was implying jealousy, I would have used the word.

                  And anyway, I thought it was funny. But I assume that I don’t matter, being a “conservatroll” or a “sock” or whatever you guys call me these days.

                  • paws4thot says:

                    I don’t think its funny, but because it’s too nearly true to be funny rather than because the idea of the EPA taxing a piece of geology directly is unamusing.

          • Smurf says:

            Just as a matter of interest Awesome Randoness, how many front pages have you had? Are you the record holder or something? Are you trying to say you had more than EWAdams, for god’s sake? Now c’mon, your ego knows exactly how many. Out with it, now. Do not wake the dragon in moi.

  4. Nebton says:

    Is this the wrong time to point out that volcanoes emit less than 1% of the carbon dioxide of human sources (including food raised for our consumption)?

    • Alex says:

      That might be the truth, but it’s not TRUTHINESS. Get it right next time.

    • Captain Oblivious says:

      This might be picking the fly sh#t out of the pepper, but the caption was referring to emissions in general, not just CO2 emissions.

    • UnhappyVegemite says:

      Volcanoes also have a cooling effect on the earth’s atmosphere thanks to large quantities of sulphur released in to the upper atmosphere and all that ash blocking the sun. E.g. when Krakatoa blew the world’s temperature dropped by an average 0.5 degrees. And did you know the bang from Krakatoa was so loud that the sound waves travelled around the world 7 times!!

      Also Mt St Helens was only a 5 on the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) when the hotspot at Yellowstone last erupted 640,000 years ago that was a 8 which is about a billion times more powerful than St Helens or to put it another way, the explosion was more powerful than all the nuclear weapons on earth combined!!

      Volcanoes are so cool

      • dissimilitude says:

        Oh, yeah. When Yellowstone goes again, it’s going to be spectacular. I’ve got some batteries and canned food ready. ;-)

        And I’d agree that volcanoes are pretty damn cool.

        • keithybabes says:

          So the best thing the USA could do to combat global warming would be to drop a few nukes onto Yellowstone. I’d pay good money to watch that. :lol:

          • dissimilitude says:

            Well, it’s probably something that would go a bit too far the wrong way. Unless you’re really looking forward to a nuclear-winter type scenario.

          • casprd says:

            ok go back and read the science about “global warming” again. the net effect is similar to what happens with the volcano, i.e. the short term trapped heat melts the polar caps dumping mass amounts of fresh water into the ocean causing the currents to slow which will lead to rapic cooling possibly to the level of an ice age. That’s why it’s referred to as climate change.

          • tuffie says:

            Or instead of introducing more nukes, they could just artificially add sulphur to the atmosphere. That kind of geoengineering is feasible and being considered by some scientists.

        • UnhappyVegemite says:

          Just as long as you aren’t anywhere near it (South America should be ok) the pyroclastic ash spread over a good 60% of the North American continent. Say isn’t the bible belt located near that region? Who says volcanoes don’t know how to pick their targets well :twisted:

          I kid of course, well maybe just a little serious
          
          
          		
          				
        • PortlandMark says:

          If you don’t live on the Eurasian continent, or in South America, might as well forget it. When Yellowstone goes, we’ll lose most of North America.

          Okay, okay, the eastern seaboard and parts of Mexico might survive.

      • It's so obvious! says:

        And vulcanologists are SOOO HOTT!!

    • keithybabes says:

      I emit less than 0.0000001% of the world’s CO2 but people are always lecturing ME to cut down, so why should volcanoes be exempt from the nagging?

    • bad fairie says:

      that might be nebs, but you have to admit that they do tend to release it all at once for the most part.

  5. blah says:

    its actually mostly steam that comes out of Mount St. Helens and only every once in a while.

    you really couldn’t of found a higher res picture?

  6. d says:

    A solution would be to take the UN building and plug the volcano with it.

  7. slaggingham says:

    Irony is that volcanic eruptions actually cause COOLING.

  8. Nailin Palin says:

    P.U. This lol stinks more than the volcano.

  9. Default User says:

    You know, if it had been a larger picture, and didn’t have all that text in the way, it would have been a really nice picture.

  10. Again says:

    NOT FUNNY

    You’re making light of a very real and very threatening situation with this stupid caption.

  11. Cowlifornia says:

    Good thing that isn’t in Cowlifornia, as CARB would make it replace it’s perfectly good engine with a new one, thus forcing more businesses to go under… meh. Oh, and they do it without any regulations :P

  12. Xellos says:

    um…I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet, but that’s Mt. St. Helens in Washington State. At least i’m fairly certain it is.

    • bad fairie says:

      an internets to you, of course it is st helens, located at 46.2° N, 122.2° W and currently at approx 8365 ft (varies according to how she’s breathing)

      • Smurf says:

        How is it a she?

        • Smurf says:

          I mean, god is a HE, isn’t she?

          • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

            The mountain is a she. Saint Helen – Martyr in the first half of the twelfth century. Her feast is celebrated 31 July. Her life (Acta SS., July, VII, 340) is ascribed to St. Brynolph, Bishop of Skara, in Sweden (d. 1317). She was of noble family and is generally believed to have been the daughter of the Jarl Guthorm.

            • PortlandMark says:

              St. Helens also figures into local native legends as a woman. Mt Hood and Mt Ranier (sorry, I don’t know the native names) were thought of as two warrior spirit/mountains who used to get into fights over Mt. St. Helens, because she was a pretty, young female spirit/mountain. At least, that’s what the Ranger stations and interpretive centers roundabout here say. :)

        • clueless says:

          Silly, Mt St Helens has always been a “she” because before her partial mastectomy she looked like a perfect beautiful breast. Yes, guys, she was the great boobie in the sky. Men would look at her and, ahem, go blind.

  13. AdC says:

    First time I heard this joke is when Mount St. Helens erupted

  14. Poncho says:

    Damn….the Democrats are even getting on Mother Natures ass……

  15. MWS says:

    Does the EPA really end letters with “Hugs and Kisses”?

  16. macABERDEEN says:

    Oh no! *said like Bruce from family guy*
