I'm cold...

...and that's funny.

It's easy to find things these days. The internet is a super-highway of information. I can sit down at my computer and, within 10 or 15 seconds know just about anything I want to about anything, anywhere in the world, or anyone any time in recorded human history, thanks, for the most part, to Google and Wikipedia.

One of the most prevalent topics on the Internet, and indeed all over the world, is that of Climate Change. It's "An Inconvenient Truth" that will eventually kill us and our lobsters, wreaking havoc over the globe.

Some backwards and uniformed (and probably politically incorrect) people, like me, still say "Global Warming." With this comes the idea that Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant (Are you breathing right now? Tut, tut, tut! You should be minimizing your "carbon footprint" by abstaining from breath!), and the idea that eventually, if things don't change, the earth will turn into a lifeless ball of scorched rock dotted with the charred ruins of the factories and automobiles that brought about their own doom.

In winter, I find this hard to believe. Two recent news stories, here and here, seem to agree with me, citing places in the US with temperatures in the minus 50s and inordinate amounts of snow in China. The story in China is really ironic, because of this article, whose headline states that the Norwegians are telling the Chinese that they should do their part to stop climate change. With the prognosis that Oslo might get above freezing once or twice this week, it seems very ironic that Norway is pushing to make sure the world doesn't get any warmer, and even worse, they're pushing a country that is having huge logistical and superstructural problems because of snow.

My hands are cold...enough with the conservationism, ok?

Brrr. I find that funny...
