Big Chills for Global-warming Alarmism
Don't pay any attention to your frozen thermometer. Never mind that your city is shivering under a record-setting cold wave, paralyzed by another record-setting snowfall. Do not think twice about your mounting heating bill, electricity blackouts, or reports that heating oil deliveries for your area are not available. Even if your teeth are chattering, concentrate only on one thing: global warming, Global Warming, GLOBAL WARMING. Just wrap yourself in a blanket and re-watch Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. And remember, be very, very afraid ... of global warming.

That seems to be the message coming from much of the overheated "mainstream" news in reports on the cold snap that started the winter of 2008-2009...
Barking madness from Bill Nye the Co2-hysteric guy
If you like to worry about things, you might be having the time of your life. We've got a financial crisis, which is part and parcel with a mortgage crisis and an employment crisis. We've got Human Immunodeficiency Viruses. We've got cancer. We have pure corruption creating filthy water, starvation diets, and fundamentally horrible living conditions for billions of our fellow humans.

Then, we've got climate change, which may indeed kill almost of all us in the next couple of centuries. Worse yet, Climate Change may lead to the inadvertent dismantling of our remarkable infrastructure. No means of feeding most of us may lead to no means of making electricity for most of us, and that might very well lead to the destruction of our electronic information storage facilities -- our libraries. Now, that would be serious. It would be like the destruction of the great Library of Alexandria around the first century, only we won't need any scared-crazy emperors or other dark forces to do it; everyone will be responsible.
