According to many scientists and meteorologists, the world has actually
been cooling these past three years. Even as I write on this winter
day, there are record cold spells all over the land. What is the
Leftist response to "Global Cooling?"
Some just ignore it. Since Al Gore told us the debate is over, anyone
who disagrees must certainly be wrong. After all, Al won the Nobel
Prize and the Academy Award, so what would some mere meteorologist know?
Others explain that the cooling is really a bi-product of the melting
polar ice caps. "You see, this causes a chain reaction in the
weather which means that, well, yeah, sure some places will get colder,
but clearly...CLEARLY this is due to Global Warming and you just darn
better believe it, Bub!"
Still others, have abandoned the phrase "Global Warming" and have
replaced it with "Climate Change." This is the most clever maneuver of
all. Now, no matter what happens weather wise, our own carbon emissions
must have caused it, be it rain, shine, sleet or snow.
Why does the government have such a vested interest in Politcally
Correct weather? Because people who want to control others never
come out and admit that they want to control others. Instead they look
for an opportunity to warm their way into our lives, (no pun intended)
and solving an alleged crisis is the best scenario money can buy.
Did you notice our Democratic Congress salivating as the auto industry
CEO's asked for a bailout? "Sure, we'll give you the money. But
in return, you will make the kinds of cars we tell you to make with the
kinds of emission controls we mandate. Say goodbye to those evil
SUV's. What kinds of cars will we allow? Oh, let's just say
something one step ahead of a horse and buggy. Come to think of it, we
might actually return to the horse and buggy someday but we'll discuss
that one later."
We even had a town in Connecticut tell people how long they could keep
up their Christmas lights, because somehow Christmas lights also
contribute to our climate change. When asked to explain what colored
lights had to do with Global Warming, one of the councilmen said, "They
are not Christmas lights! They are holiday lights!" See?
The Leftest agenda has found its perfect storm.
Remember the story of Chicken Little? An acorn fell on his head
so he and his friends went to tell the king that the sky was falling.
Along the way, Foxy Loxy offered to accompany the little band. By the
end of the trip, he had eaten Henny Penny, Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky
and finally Chicken Little himself. The king never did find out that
the sky was falling, but then again, it didn't matter because the sky
never fell anyway. And this was not the last time deception came
from a word spelled ACORN.
Someday, shivering around the fireplace on a cold winter day, we will tell stories to our grandchildren such as; Chicken Little, Global Warming and other fairy tales.
"So did the planet really change, Grandpa?"
"Well, the climate didn't change, Junior but yes, our lives on this
planet did change. They changed indeed. Better get to bed now.We are
only allowed to light the fireplace for one hour. Besides, it's a three
hour walk to school tomorrow and I need extra time to stop off and pay
our walking tax for the research of biodegradable shoe material."
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
