Some Say In Ice [Dec. 9th, 2007|12:11 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
For some reason, Russky climatologists seem to have missed the consensus memo.  "They simply state that a new little ice age is imminent."

This is bad news for Chicago.  We need all the warmth we can get.  That's why I support Global Warming - for the sake of our local economy!

And for once I sympathize with the Russians.  One serious ice age, and their country is kaput!

It's like the thermostat wars in office buildings.  You can never get the temperature "just right" for everybody.

I decree the thermostat
Cannot change from where it's at.

At least, that's what I will decree
Once it's set to suit me.

Oh, but that's why the Eco-nuts have changed to the term "Global Climate Change". Heads I win - Tails I win.

I know. I told my mother today that the San Diego mountains got one of the earliest snowfalls that they'd ever had today, and she replied, "Oh, it must be all of the moisture in the air from GLOBAL WARMING!"

Uh, no. Actually, it's just been frigid in San Diego lately, and we're heading into our rainy season. And I'm kind of on the side of slight human-caused global warming, but even I know that you can't declare every single seasonal deviation to be the fault of SUV drivers.

So now, whenever someone pulls this crap with me when talking about individual weather incidents, I've taken to putting my index finger in the air and stating earnestly, in the manner of a science film circa 1954, "It must be global warming!"
