Errr, actually, more like not.
See, we've been having unseasonably cool weather for, oh, the whole friggin' year so far.
Wanna see?
And just in case you can't see the fine print:
Now, that's a bit cooler than usual for us.
So, what's the big issue gripping the nation today?
Hmmm?
Why, Bill Clinton yapping on about global warming, of course. Because, you know, all this COLD WEATHER is clearly caused by the GLOBAL WARMING TREND, and stuff.
Of course that's it. And what did Clinton say? That global warming was a bigger threat to us than terrorism?
Wooooo.
I'm scaaaaaared.
Oh, and speaking of GIGANTIC, DANGEROUS, HUGE-ALMOST-BEYOND-COMPREHENSION threats that kinda went *poof* on the environmental lobby, the Antarctic ozone hole is closing up. Of course, all the wonks want to claim it's the CFC bans causing it to close up - except for the fact that the hole is over countries which produce essentially no CFCs to start with, and didn't obey the ban in any event.
Um, so what you're saying is, it was caused by us, because our CFCs go up into the sky and then move 8000 miles before doing any damage? As opposed to the ozone hole forming because the Antarctic doesn't get as much sunlight as the rest of the world - which is why it's the ANTARCTIC - and ozone is manufactured when sunlight hits the atmosphere? You're absolutely, positively sure it's our fault?
Mkay, good luck with that.
