Christmas and global warming

I have to say that I’m ambivalent about global warming. Intuitively, it seems to make sense, but why the cliimategate cover-ups? Also, wasn’t the next ice age being heralded a few decaes ago? If those weren’t enough to make you question global warming, we have some people espousing ideas that are just insane.

Two of my favorites appeared this week. The first suggests moving to a global policy of allowing couples to have just one child. Sure, you may love your kids, but their birth is causing the Earth to warm. At some point, they will surely be the death of us! Now, there might be two feet of snow outside your house, but trust them: The little tikes are warming the planet.

My other favorite involves your diet. It seems that becoming a vegan will slow global warming. All that meat and dairy you’ve been eating has been contributing to a warmer planet, and this warming has contributed to lots of snow and cold temperatures lately. Wait, is that right? I’d better think it over while enjoying a milk shake.

The global warming cult really fans the flames of climate change doubts themselves. We can accept the rationale behind more efficient cars, but when you tell people they shouldn’t have two children and should avoid a burger at McDonald’s, you start to look like a fool.

WIth the holidays quickly approaching, it makes me wonder if there will be a push to convince people not to decorate for Christmas. After all, those strands of Christmas lights and illuminated Santas could be the death of us.
