The earth's slowing is causing gasses to collect thus increasing global warming.
It's like you and your buddies are coming from the taco bell and somebody emits a greenhouse gas just as you're coming up to a construction site and have to slow down. You all begin to experience the usual symptoms: nausea, headache, teary eyes. These symptoms persist because the vehicle is proceeding at a low rate of speed. Eventually you pass the construction site and are able to increase speed of the vehicle and, very important, dissipate the noxious fumes that have accumulated in the vehicle by means of increased air circulation. It is, my dear scientific brethern ( and sistern), increased circulation that provides the dissipation of greenhouse gasses and it's pleasant cooling effect.
Now 'scuze me while I get on with my own dissipat'n.
How could you possibly consider that this has not been a serious thread?
It is for this very reason that I can't go to Taco Bell any more. Those greenhouse gasses start building internally and soon there are some localized and very catastrophic climate changes.
