Damn those Americans and their massively wasteful recreational structures. This will teach them a thing or two!

Yeah, the roof is inflatable. It's weird walking in/out of the metrodome because of the very noticable vacuum.

Meanwhile we have yet to have any accumulating snow in Denver this year. And it's 65 degrees right now.

Should actually be a noticeable excess of pressure(positive pressure) to keep the roof up. A vacuum/negative pressure wouldn't go very far in keeping the roof up.

Pressure n00bs.

Does it suck or does it blow?

And is it hard to get out in either case?!?

Since it's not getting warmer, it is now called climate change. Not sure what is changing, but they say it is.

The climate is constantly changing. Trying to fight it is pointless. Trying to deny it is just ignorant.

There's a huge difference between long-term climate change and today's forecast, but I wouldn't expect the right wing zombies to understand that.

It is a fallacy. Remember the sinking island pictures you posted?

After the Easter earthquake in Baja last year, some of the mountains in the area sank by 5 feet, that doesn't mean the oceans have risen.

As usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
