Duh! or, If You Can't Beat It, Politicize It!
So, today the world's top climatologists issued a report saying that humans are to blame for global warming. What a surprise! The real surprise is that this report actually hit the world, in spite of years of aggressive Bush administration intimidation to declaw or downplay scientific reports to this same effect.
The White House's response? "Oh yeah? Well, uh, unexpected stuff will happen! And you'll lose your jobs!" Seriously, I'm waiting to see if the next statement involves terrorism...'If you stop driving your car or start paying attention to science, then the terrorists have truly won.' Jesus.
How anyone who doesn't still believe in fairies and magic can deny global warming is utterly beyond me. The only thing that's more distasteful is turning the topic into political fearmongering. We SHOULD be scared. We NEED to be afraid for our environment and what's going to happen to our world, cause we ain't going anywhere else. At present levels, we're looking at the end of seafood in 50 years; die-offs of sealife and hundreds of other geographically limited species; rampant pollution, and quite possoble the end of problems we can just ignore. If you're not afraid, you are not paying attention.
Or, I guess, still believe in unicorns and that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.
