Smarter than Our Man? You betcha!

Hey, can you guess what these maps mean? -



a) Some pisshead's been messing with his iMac again?
b) Our Man has run out of Fail Blog videos to post?
c) It's a map of where Our Man's comment leavers live and where they get their internet porn from?
d) All of the above?

Hmmm. Guess again. It's actually a view of the biggest culprits of global warming (fig A) compared to those who will suffer the most from global warming (fig B).

It's pretty interesting, don't ya think? What it means to Our Man is, our pols can keep talking earnestly about cutting global warming, but do nothing about it because the worst of it won't come back to bite their voters in the ass until it is waaaaay tooooo late. Yikes.

For a more nuanced (as smart folk say) explanation of what it all means, go here, where Our Man lifted this map from. In fact, there (where it says go here) is sooo good, Our Man reckons the blog is more than worthy of being named Our Man Blog of the Week. Welcome to Our Man's blog roll on the right there. Long may you continue to post smarter stuff than Our Man (so he doesn't have to).

Oh, the blog's name? Insular, Extraordinary.

Gee thanks Kim. Do you really think this is a great blog? Are you happy to associate your company with a blog that runs videos like this one -

What were you thinking Kim? And no, Our Man is a bit busy tonight to read his e-mail from you.

But thanks anyway.
