Global Warming, Please

I drove by the bank thermometer display at around midnight last night, and it read "4." It apparently dipped down to "0." Tomorrow night, the low is predicted to hit "1." I'm in New England, but this is cold for March, no? Later this Spring when the mercury bursts into the 90s, some troglodyte posing as a man of science, who in an earlier age would have divined the apocalyptic meaning of lunar eclipses, will shout: "See! This proves global warming! This proves man has wrecked the planet!" That won't prove global warming anymore than today disproves it.

I don’t think I’m ever going to have to worry about GW. But, if it does happen, I have no problem sitting on a warm beach in Worcester in March.

In what category did "An Inconvenient Truth" win the Oscar for? Science Fiction?

Global warming has been hitting countries across the globe. Wether we like it or not it is the reality that we are going to face.

But there is still hope, if we just make one step at a time to solve this problem.

Going for Hybrid and Biofuels could be a great factor in reducing pollutants.

For 100% emission free, Electric Cars is the ultimate solution. Lets go for green and help save the planet.

It’s interesting to me how the Leftist agenda mongers have latched onto this Global Warming farce. My middle schoolers were forced to watch Al Gore’s fairy tale and both came away questioning the “facts” presented in the film.

What’s the point? Well, if you consider that the Left loves to use scare tactics to control people and that they are typically lovers of big government by way of stripping the average citizen of their money through higher taxes and that convincing the masses that Global Warming is a crisis worthy of immediate monetary attention, them it all makes perfect sense.

"Hey, are you driving a hybrid? GOOD FOR YOU!"

"I GUESS SOME OF US JUST CARE MORE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT THAN OTHERS."

Don't worry about global warming. Worry about the spread of Smug.

An Inconvenient question...

If Global Warming is bad, that must mean the Earth is already too hot, or at just the right temperature now. Just what is the proper temperature of our planet? How do we measure it? Where do we measure it? When do we measure it? Okay, that's more than one inconvenient question, but who can answer it? Al? Bill Nye? Uncle Rico?

Daniel, toasty in Vegas whether there's Global Warming, or not.

Honestly, the worst case scenario is something like the sea level rising 3 centimeters. Maybe thats a lot to a trained scientist, but to me it seems like the proper response is "so what?"

Beach weather all year 'round? I can handle it.
