If you listen to the global warming hysterics, you'd think the surface of the Earth were about to burst into flames at any moment. U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is seemingly about to be given a vote of no confidence at any given time, gave us just 50 days to save the world. Prince Charles was a bit more cautious, giving us seven years.
I was listening to a talk format liberal station on the way back from work (yes, I try to listen to all sides, plus, I get a good laugh out of that station). The apparent failure to get a binding agreement by which the U.S.A. would sacrifice its sovereignty and large amounts of its citizen's incomes to foreign powers was being treated like a funeral. There was dire talk about the fate of the planet and quiet optimism we could still save it. The near PBS decibel commentators spoke of an Earth no longer recognizable in just a thousand years as men will have disappeared from her surface. There was even talk about how the U.N. had understated the temperature increases it estimated in the coming years to prevent panic and that the reality was certainly two and a half times the numbers being handed out. There was talk of how, soon enough, they'd be having climate conferences on the tops of mountains as they watched the rising seas swirl up beneath them.
The guys on the radio sounded sincere, and he really came off as a good guy, legitimately concerned. I feel sorry for him. The good news is, if he believes all that crap, then he's probably looking forward to a visit from Santa soon.
