Do you know what I hate?
This morning I was watching my favorite news show, Canada A.M. and they got to the section of the show where they read people’s letters. Yesterday’s question involved global warming. It turns out that someone had said that the temperatures lately are roughly five degrees lower than normal and therefore that means that there is clearly no such thing as global warming because it’s colder out, not hotter.
And what I hate most of all is that I so desperately want to argue this “it’s colder so there’s no global warming” point with these people but I can’t because it’s impossible to argue anything after my HEAD HAS EXPLODED.
You’re preaching to the choir with this one. The long term trend over decades is global warming. During that long term there will be lots of hot and cold fluctuations both above and below that global warming trend. When I hear the argument that you did I want to give the person a “stupid slap.” One comedian might say, “Here’s your sign.” Some clearly don’t understand. The others are either in denial or willing to risk it all for a bit more of what they consider the good life with the minor result of global warming. We’re losing the ice at the poles. No cold snap will help that. How to turn that attitude around? I have no idea.
seriously!!! i was listening to a local public radio station and they were interviewing some 15yo girl about her anti-global warming website. it was so angering to hear this little twit getting ANY sort of attention (other than a swift boot to the head). she basically thinks she’s smarter than the whole of humanity’s scientists. i hope people who don’t believe in global warming drown first in a pool of oil-soaked water that happened to catch aflame!
Sherry, you’ve got to quit beating around the bush and simply say what is on your mind. lol
