Gee, If Only We Could Rename Global Warming, People Would Care. Snicker : Stop The ACLU

If you have to reframe your talking points, it might not be the talking points, but the issue itself.

(a) sometimes the problem is, as Roy Rogers said, the things you know that just aren’t so

(c) change the name from ‘global warming’ to ‘happy pink ponies’, if you want, and if ‘happy pink ponies’ involves more leftist lies masquerading as settled science (mass first world starvation, wild animals going blind because of chlorofluorocarbons, etc.), then pretty soon ‘happy pink ponies’ will also be a code word for “progressive liberals, gay marriage and other such issues.”

The Reference Frame: RSS MSU: 2nd coldest April since 1999

RSS MSU data for April 2009 are out. The global temperature anomaly, 0.202 °C, is 0.008 °C warmer than the figure from March 2009.

It makes April 2008 the second coldest April since 1999, after April 2008 that was even colder, mostly due to the La Nina conditions. April 2009 was also a whopping 0.65 °C cooler than April 1998: the latter month's anomaly, 0.858 °C, remains the hottest reading on their record: the El Nino of the century is to be blamed.
