Europe’s having a really coooold winter – caused by GLOBAL WARMING!

Climate scientist: Europe’s really coooold winter is caused by Global Warming! Reminds us of an old joke: a salesman was going door to door selling alligator repellent. “Don’t try to con me,” one lady who answered the door said, “There’s no alligators in Montana!” “See, it’s working already,” said the con man, “That’ll be $12.95!” Hey, betcha Global Warming causes lower unemployment rates as well as folks leaving the work force.

  • I guess the Brits can't read German. Otherwise "Die kalte Sonne (The Cold Sun)" would wake them up.

    Nah. They are liberal lemmings. Facts are just annoyances.

    By the way, thank you Bonfire of the Absurdities for telling us about the cold sun.

  • If anyone thinks that the Cult of AlGore will ever change remember the three tenets:

    FIRST
    If it is warmer than normal it is due to global warming.
    If it is cooler than normal it is due to global warming
    If it is the normal temperature it is due to global warming.

    SECOND
    If there are more hurricanes than last year it is due to global warming.
    If there are fewer hurricanes than last year it is due to global warming.

    THIRD
    Warmer temperatures are global warming.
    Record low temperatures are just weather.

    FOUR
    Shut up.

  • Interesting. Uhm... it is winter right? So isn't winter allowed to be cold and freezing cold and wow it is very cold and have highs and los depending on what the weather wants to do? When it is summer and it is nice or very hot that is part of life right? This whole drama annoys me. It reeks of scam.

  • Al Gore is in his bunker and as you read this, he is trying to come up with a way to blame all this on George W. Bush. ;)

  • Yep and it is warmer than last year in Minnesota which is due to global warming, it is normal in Hawaii which is due to global warming. I have a pimple on my ass, and now I know what caused it.

  • Not only does 'Global Warming causes lower unemployment rates as well as folks leaving the work force', it also necessarily makes energy costs skyrocket, and we must not constrain skyrockets too much, cuz they just go off sometimes when you do that! We've all seen the picture of that happening in iran.
