I Love Stuff Like This

[Trilby]

Hm. I thought that the premise is that global warming will create severe, wildly fluctuating weather as the pond heats up. NOLA had a tornado recently (like adding salt to a fresh wound) and then there's the 12 feet of snow in Oswego, NY (sp?)

Presented for your erudition, my summary of the current state of the Global Warming debate:

The Left and Scientists - "Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! We're destroying the planet! The weather is going insane! Didn't you see "The Day After Tomorrow"?

The Right and Business - "Please. This is all a perfectly normal cycle. There isn't enough data to support Global Warming. Besides, its bad for the economy. May we please cut down some more forests and sell them to the Japanese, now?"

There. Saved you all that time reading up on things. No need to thank me.

Not quite. We have another problem. Therefore we must innovate. Only wacko extremists are going "Aaaaaahhh!!!!" But then wacko extremists must change facts and rewrite history to entertain their emotions.

Grab a rope in the middle. Those two flaying ends banging one another - those are the left and right wing extremists who fear and deny. Higher intelligent is the upper center of that rope - where centrist are located. Centrists learn the latest problems, innovate, and make those problems irrelevant. Global warming is another problem just like air pollution, ozone depletion, acid rain, etc. Shot the wacko extremist and then we have solvable problems. Notice those wackos (Urbane Guerrilla and Ronald Cherrycoke) don't have any serious education.

Centrists have long acknowledged the reality of global warming. Only wackos - especially the rightmost wackos – are going ‘Aaaahhhh!!!!” as they again try to stifle innovation.

Classic extremist must hype the problem as a major disaster to be ignored or to fret over only for a political agenda.

The left and right are both at the bottom. Intelligence? Move up the rope where centrists reside. If you think there is a left and right, well the wackos had you stretch out the rope to make them look better.

Exactly. I don't know how a snowstorm changes anything. It's not like the global temps are going to spike 20° in a year.
