Global Warming?

Try this test, true or false:

1) Global temps are rising.

2) Oceans are warming.

3) The Arctic is warmer today than it’s been in at least a century.

You guessed it: They’re all false. False “facts” that the average American assumes are true.

Bitter Cold Grips Northern States...

Below-Zero Temps Close Schools...

Chilly cold spell sweeping Hawaii...

They can only mean one thing: Global warming!

Yes, 42 below zero in Minnesota this week is proof of global warming. So was last summer’s European heat wave. No major hurricanes hit the US in 2006? Global warming. Katrina? Same thing.

Bad weather, good weather, your car won’t start, your kid flunks a math test, erectile dysfunction, whatever. Such is the miraculous power of climate change kookery. Everything that happens proves you're right, especially the stuff that proves you're wrong.

Thanks to an unquestioning media, the American people have been conditioned to see iceberg conditions in Indianapolis and blame global warming (or, if they’re Patriots fans, a vengeful God). We don’t think, we just assume. In fact, we’ve all but stopped thinking about the issue of global climate change at all.
