It is now official. We are all going to die.
We know this because of an article linked by the Drudge Report that quotes a celebrity on this issue. I have never heard of the guy before but that doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have many fools of this level in my circle.
I quit reading after a few paragraphs but it seemed that this member of the English nobility stopped reading after he finished Al Gore’s Earth in the Balance. He is convinced that climate change will wipe out human life in about 17 years. Didn’t he hear about Obama being elected and how the oceans were going to stop rising and global warming would cease?
Maybe he didn’t get the message in South Africa. He may have also missed the information that the Arctic ice increased this year and the polar bears are doing just fine.
Another case of, “Don’t confuse me with the facts. My mind is made up.” Or as Big Al so wisely stated, “The debate on global warming is over.” For some it is an article of faith on which the debate never began.
So have a great 17 years. Rejoice. I think the microbes are scheduled to survive.

Another 17 years, I'm not complaining. Just before I really get decrepit and all my money runs out it'll all end. (Bunch of conceited fools, suppose the believe in evolution too).
ReplyDeleteThey never seem to be fools enough to sell their houses to me at a discount though.

I'm not sure I WANT to live 17 more years in this increasingly wicked world, although I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. When my time comes, though, I'm sure it won't be climate change that gets me, thouh it MIGHT be "hope and change."
ReplyDeleteI think you can count on that. Think of it as 17 more years of writing about all the things the city slickers have never experienced.

My goodness, there sure has been a boatload of "end times" deadlines during my years on this planet; so many folks want to be prophets.
ReplyDeleteI know. I remember when an evangelist in my denomination wrote a book and set a date. Fools come in all persuasions. Of course there are the people who buy the books....

Wait... was that Big Al Yankovich that made that statement? (or Big Al Gore, who is even goofier)
ReplyDeleteAt least one will admit that he is a comedienne.
