Left-wing attempt at humor: Poking fun at those idiots who are skeptical that trace amounts of CO2 are overheating the planet

Paul Abrams: Republican Surprise: Comprehensive Plan to Reverse Global Warming

The bill, authored by freshman Tea Party Member Ben Quayle -- whose Vice-President father, Dan, once promoted a manned-mission to the sun, proposing to avoid its extreme heat by going at night -- is called the "Reverse [Non-Existent] Global Warming With a Stroke of the Pen" Act. It outlaws Fahrenheit, substituting Celsius for all temperature readings, reports and thermometers, and thereby instantaneously reduces all temperatures.

"Fahrenheit, like fluoridation of water before it, is a socialist plot. It is designed to make people believe the temperature is hotter than it is," said Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK). "They want you to believe, for example, that it is 68° in Tulsa, whereas we can now say it is only 20°. That is more than a 3-fold difference. In my part of the country we don't call that hoax, we call it a lie".
