Global warming rode back into the news today when…
What?
Oh, yes, because of hyperbolic errors, global warming had to dump its maiden name.
Now it goes by the more amorphous label “climate change.”
The heat, if you will excuse the exquisite pun, is off the sycophantic leftist army of mainly young and unmarried who are prepared, nay, eager, to believe their betters’ latest funny-looking claims.
“Global warming” had to be bagged because left-wing scientists outrageously had overpromised.
They remind me of the apocalyptic preachers who make us grin with their end-times forecasts. When they outlive their predictions, they are dropped from the newspapers faster than an ex-spouse, says a veteran ex-spouse.
Left-wing scientists and their empty-life cheerleaders (“We don’t need no evidence to believe the truth”) should be penalized just as unceremoniously with their embarrassing skein of worldwide failures. (They won’t because the monopolistic left-wing media enables them and is in precise sync.)
Something about polar ice caps melting by the turn of the century.
Freshly tropical Alaska morphing into the new South Beach, northern branch.
Something about California, Florida and other coastal states sinking into the oceans.
But, hey, nobody is perfect. Right, leftists?
The periodically silly Los Angeles (We Don’t Embarrass Easily) Daily News was back at its old lemonade stand this morning. The lefty boys were wringing their greenhouse gas-emissioned fingers this morning merely because a normal person, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), figures to gain new power in the order-restored Senate in January.
Mr. Inhofe agrees with us that the climate change catcalls from the looney corner of the left have engineered what is so far the scam of the century.
Mr. Inhofe and I carry the same message to the lefty boys at the Daily News:
• When you hear the balmy phrase “climate change,” think apocalyptic preacher.
• Or, if the planet starts to warm a few millenia from now, come back and try to sell your scam all over.
