Scrappleface: Obama’s ‘Cash for Cardigans’ to Cut Carbon Emissions

“The data, which we recently misplaced, is irrefutable,” said CRU director Phil Jones, currently on involuntary sabbatical. “By combining carbon-credit trading with weather stripping, vegetarianism, cardigan-wearing, alternate-day respiration, and other simple lifestyle changes, we can stave off the destruction of billions of acres of wildlife habitat, and perhaps save humanity as well.”

Under the Obama “cash for cardigans” program, citizens would receive a one dollar credit toward woolen wear for each degree they reduce their thermostat. The White House said this means a senior citizen, living on a fixed income, could receive a $45 cardigan at no charge, simply by turning the thermostat back to 27 degrees Fahrenheit.

"If you look at a chart tracking the average leg length of tarantulas," Mann said, "it just shoots up in the mid-1970s. The graph looks like a hockey stick. And they're on every continent. No one will escape their wrath."

Jones and Mann said they arrived at their new theory of global giant bug warming "as an alternative explanation for the data that we no longer have to support our first theory." This particular interpretation of the data was chosen, they said, "mostly because it's really scary to little children."
