To me, the term ‘climate change’ should mean things like ‘we just broke the frigging record for snowfall,’ not ‘gee, it’s snowing outside, the Earth must be cooling.’ I guess that’s why people stopped using the term ‘global warming,’ since it obviously mystifies conservatives. I keep waiting to see who can hold the record for being stupid, but no one seems to be able to hold the crown for more than a few hours. Jim DeMint is the champion for the moment.

Truthfully, I think these guys are stupid like the Bush Administration – they sound like idiots, but everything works out the way they want – not stupid like the Obama Administration – they sound like geniuses, but nothing works out the way they say they want. But maybe I’m just being naive and both administrations just wanted the same things and used different rhetoric. What’s the penalty for right-wingers sounding like fifth-grade dropouts? Do they lose elections? Do they die in poverty? As John Mitchell said, “Watch what we do, not what we say.”
They are Iglooramuses!
You know the old story. It is probably one of the most repeated tropes there is for conservatives. Liberals had to suddenly switch gears and bury the “global warming” line and flip to “climate change” because, darn it, every winter someplace in the country it would snow a whole heck of a lot. It might even be someplace not used to lots of snow. And that just exposes Al Gore and all his alarmist friends as the ignorant clods that they all know them to be.
I don’t think I know one single conservative who doesn’t get a big yuckety-yuck out of this stupid observation. It is pointless to even try and shoot it down. They know it’s stupid, we know it’s stupid, even the media know that it’s stupid. But it gets treated like it is some irrefutable evidence that the whole thing is a liberal conspiracy and part of the New World Order plan.
This stupid thing is going to be harder to kill than a zombie.
BTW, I like the comment that is posted on the linked page.
I love this post – just linked to it from Facebook. Also wanted people to know there’s this great group you can join there – Fox News Haters. Just search their name and you’ll see a link to join. That’s one that deserves some visibility!
I meant – I linked to Steven’s longer piece! Wrong post.
It’s climate change because not every part of the world will get warmer, plus it also includes ocean acidification and damage to ecosystems.
It’s the proper term, and engulfs everything.
I swear to God if one more person tells me that climate change isn’t real because of this blizzard, I’m going to stab them in the eyes.
