Hilarious! And though there's obvious hyperbole, I agree with the premise.

Patrick - Merely fantastic! Great usage of a fine S & G song, wickedly funny. Sending 555 copies to Al Gore. ;D

Pay attention: Global warming is sending the polar icecaps closer to the equator, making for climate change in both directions. Honestly, you conservatives need to remember that men like Buckley wanted you to think.

I recall a 1980's novel "A Creed for the Third Millennium" in which the government moved the population of the northern states south for the winter. The premise then was a new ice age. Then the prevailing orthodoxy switched to global warming. Now it's simply called climate change. But whatever you call it, the solution is always to let politicians take more of our money, more of our freedom, and deprive us of proven technologies. Perhaps my bias stems from living in Kansas City, where you can get any kind of weather, any time of the year. The newscasters are saying that the temperature could reach 70° F tomorrow or Thursday. After fighting 10 inch snow falls, that's change I can believe in.

Good one, Patrick! It could be worse (see): http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/therollingstones168.shtml

Patrick - The official government nomenclature is now "Global Climate Disruption". I don't think there is an appointed czar yet, so it falls under the juristiction of Science Czar John Holdren. Check out some of his writings from the 70's, especially those authored with Paul Ehrlich. ;D

Czar is a hereditary ruler. There was only one at a time. The correct name for political officials meddling in areas they are unqualified for is "commissar". I keep trying to get our side to use the right name.

I think you left out a verse: "Don't talk of love", etc.

The reason for that "Creed" was a latte-70s study by NASA that the Earth was undergoing a period of cooling (despite the gas-guzzling cars of the late 60s-early 70s), and we'd all be freezing by 2000 or 2010.

Note yesterday that global climate change turned a fertile savanna into the Sahara desert, and they didn't even have the Prius then. Even some who do support the warming theory believe that it's just another of those cycles that Man can't really do much about, though of course we shouldn't be polluting anyway. No vote, due to the missing verse, but you're spot on about being an excuse for more Gov power. ... and why does Al Gore fly around in a private jet to preach his message?

Michael Pacholek: Too bad there aren't any liberal leaders who want liberals to think.

I loved the ice cream truck following the plow! That said, it was almost 60 here in Ohio today. Akron's melting snow alone could probably raise the ocean level. My driveway is finally wide enough for my car again...

Sounds just like the winter we just had here in the UK! And we're all bullied into reducing, reusing and recycling here on an almost daily basis. The silliest things are the signposts put up around the edges of certain towns declaring them 'Low Emission Zones.' Yep, that's right - our government can even control how the air currents move around environmentally-friendly towns.... no matter how many big lorries trundle through them on a daily basis! And some overpaid quango spent actual money putting those things up... *sigh*...!
