global Warming assholes

During the coldest first week of April in seventy years from the Rockies, to Texas, to frigid golfers at Augusta National, and on to Southern New England, my thoughts turn to cable television in the early 1980's, to the old MTV commercials, when various music celebrities told us that "I want my MTV!" I'll paraphrase that by stating "I want my global warming!" With Spring a cruel joke of the calendar this year, as it was also last year, and the year before that as well, the long sunny evenings give us time only to admire the hardy joggers dressed as if it were January, as $2 a gallon heating oil burns up and out our chimneys, you have to wonder how bad can global warming really be?

Does anyone remember that the global warming nazis, and I do not use that word lightly, promised us a decade ago that winter would be but a memory in New England in 10 or 15 years? I do. One does realize that they never made any promises about Spring, however. All we hear about is gloom and doom, but how can all of global warming be bad? It certainly will be better than coldest spring since the 1930's. Better than the widespread loss of crops. Better than the increased burning of gas and oil to heat homes nationwide. It is possible for us to actually produce FEWER 'greenhouse' emissions over the course of the year, if it were not so cold.

The only people really complaining about global warming, are those who have nothing to lose. The rich, mostly liberal groups, celebrities and politicans, whose own lavish lifestyles are justified by 'carbon credits,' warn us almost daily about how you and I are destroying ice, causing droughts, and killing species on a wholesale basis. What bunk. Ice records reveal that is accreting in places like antarctica, while the ocean near the poles is warming. The sun is putting out more energy today than

There is simply no climatic evidence of the horrors promised. There is no one starving any more in Africa than starved in the 1980's when we had the horror of global cooling. Africa's problem is overpopulation in marginal areas, not global warming. The monsoons in Asia do no more damage today than they did then either. We hear of hurricanes, Katrina evidence the end is near, yet no one recalls Camille, or Gloria, or the 1938 Long Island Express, until reminded of them. As the warnings of latest disasters are screamed across the television almost nightly, as you shiver in your cold home, the daffodils do not come up, and the forsythia refuses to bloom, global warming is not all bad. Nothing natural is all bad.
