As far as I am concerned, you are more than welcome to this North American winter weather. Take it, please. With my blessing. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, howling winds and all.
One (1) degree F tonight.
I want my global warming. I demand my global warming. For years now, ever since they stopped howling back in the seventies about the new ice age and started howling about global warming, I have been promised that if I would only continue my gluttonous overconsumption of fossil fuels, I would soon be able to throw away my winter woolies.
I have done my part, and no one can claim that I have not. I have driven to the corner store, even back when I was healthy enough to walk. I have mowed my lawn religiously, or paid someone else to do it. With BIG mowers too. I have ridden recreational vehicles. I have purchased goods made in third world countries with lax environmental laws so that their foul smoke stacks would produce a disproportionate amount of smog compared to the factories here in the developed world. I have done my part like a good American consumer to jack up those greenhouse gasses.
And what am I getting for all that expense and effort? Twenty years ago they swore to me that by the year 2005 the world would be ten degrees warmer, the coastal areas would be underwater, and that the frost line would be north of Quebec. Well I will tell you folks, I am considerably south of Quebec right now, and
I AM FREEZING MY COJONES OFF!
I want my global warming. I have worked for it. I paid for it. I deserve it. And by Henry I am going to have it or SOMEBODY is going to be very sorry.
