MESOPOTAMIA — Onlookers erupted in shouts of ridicule for a prominent local man, as apparent idiot Noah decided to build an ark when he could have just paid more taxes to stop climate change.

Despite his fellow villagers suggesting he simply pay his "fair share" in taxes to avert a potential upcoming climate catastrophe, the patriarch chose instead to invest heavily in construction materials he would use to build a gigantic boat.

"What a moron," one witness said. "Look, we've all heard the rumors that something really bad is bound to happen with our climate, but we've all agreed that the best solution is to just pay more taxes and make climate change disappear. Instead of going along with that plan, ol' nincompoop Noah here would rather build an ark."

When asked for comment, Noah explained his seemingly shortsighted actions. "Yeah, call me crazy, but I don't think paying more taxes will do anything," he said as he and his sons continued construction on the enormous ship. "Everyone thinks giving more and more money to the government will solve everything, but I have some inside info that nothing will stop what's coming. I'm just gonna build my ark."

Populate an ark
Don't forget two ravens
For the raven mad

Citizens can't pay sufficient taxes to mobilizes the resources needed to stop climate change (assuming the AGW-CO2 science is correct).

Governments will have to create the money, as will become apparent this century as global temp keeps increasing due the emissions from burning fossil fuels.

[Noah's  Flood was caused by rising sea levels (and the breach of the Bosphorus),  not human-induced climate change].

I doubt it. They are just pissed off about the laziness of posters to think for themselves.
