Best of the Web Today: Four More Years - WSJ.com

Let's see, four years: That would mean that we are all doomed if nothing changes by January or February 2013. And we have at least two prominent scientists saying the same thing, and as we've all learned "scientific consensus" is always right.

Or is it? We have some questions: From what data did McCarthy and Hansen derive this deadline? How long have scientists "known" that the beginning of 2013 was the point of no return? Can anyone find an example of a scientist in, say, 2007 saying we have six years to act, or in 2002 saying we have 11 years? Is it a mere coincidence that the deadline is almost exactly the same as the end of the term of a new president who gives indications that he may be both gullible enough to swallow global warmism and egomaniacal enough to believe he can save the world?

It looks to us as if these predictions are no more than political punditry pretending to be science. [Via Gore Lied]

With the impending apocalypse is it any wonder that I don’t have time to give my son the proper upbringing he deserves? Bottles need to be sorted green, brown, and clear, for crying out loud! I haven’t got the energy left over after that to prepare three square meals, with home grown organic veggies.

My son is just going to have to suck it up for the sake of the planet. Gosh, I hope he turns out ok.

Global warming is dead. An inconvenient opera??? - allvoices.com

La Scala officials appear to have completely lost their marbles.

We've gone from a hokey slide-show, to mock-umentary, to books and world tours on private jets. And now these upper class-ites, want to create an actual opera on the subject. This must truly signal the end of global warming. (One can only hope.) I suppose this can be likened to that aging actress desperate to show the movie world 'she still has star-power.' Right before she signs the contract to do ten consecutive 'Depends' commercials.
