here’s a simple solution, dont watch tv for the news, what did your mothers ever tell you about not believing what you see on tv?

I think that this is so funny – but really it is so true not to single out the people in the northeast of America (new york and washington DC) you are not the only part of the Earth – just cause it is colder there it is not in most other parts of the world where record temps have risen – you are in fact a small fraction, this Global Warming hoax stuff does get pretty tiresome though specially talking about about it so much

Good post…and amazingly similar to mine today!

I think there are MANY reasons support for climate change action is waning. Some are clearly psychological and the nature of the threat. It’s distant, diffuse, etc. I actually think we shouldn’t really talk too much about ‘climate change’ at all and just keep it all in terms of the many reasons to cut carbon that have nothing to do with climate change (national security and competitiveness, profitability, health, etc — sorry to be self-promotional, but see my piece on this here…http://bit.ly/5ofCv1)

Anyway, the current way of talking about climate is sort of failing in this country. We do need a new approach…

Thanks for this great post. Both videos are pretty hilarious, but they make such great points. It reminds me of a point Friedman made in “Hot, Flat, and Crowded” about if global warming isn’t true but we still take the steps to prevent it, what is the harm it’s going to cause?
