Put on your hip-waders; invest in gold, canned food, guns, and dogs; and get right with God, because the day after tomorrow is coming sooner than we thought:
Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN’s Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, Al Gore said on Thursday. Recent evidence shows “the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us,” climate campaigner and former US vice-president Gore said.
There are now forecasts that the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years, he told a gathering at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Rest assured that The Waterglass will continue to bring you news you can use up until the great Global Warming Climate Change Catastrophe sends us all into a tailspin of self-wrought destruction at the hands of an angry Gaia.
Do you think that if the world held their breath for 2 seconds all at the same time that we could stop global warming? We could call it, World Breath Day. That way, we’d release 2 seconds less of whatever it is that’s causing global warming (ozones or something) and we wouldn’t have to hear about Al Gore anymore.
Just get your guns and dogs, you.
You’ll need ‘em.
Isn’t there a solution that doesn’t include dogs and guns?
Something I had not thought of is that Al had 8 years as VP and he did nothing – zero – about GW. During that time, the Senate overwhelmingly rejected Kyoto and nary a peep from Clinton or the VP – wonder why?
David – Have you read the new Glen Cook books yet? The Instrumentalities of the Night series – very good.
I’ll tell you why, Kurt.
When VP Gore suddenly found himself not elected president in 2001 and out of the White House, he realized that he didn’t have a single thing that could be considered his legacy (besides the internet). He hooked his wagon to global warming because it was an environmental issue where you didn’t actually have to prove anything and didn’t have to show any actual results.
Funny you should mention that, Kurt; I recently started rereading the Black Company series. I’m up to the Second Book of the South now. They’re almost as good as I remember them. When I’m done I’ll get the Instrumentalities of the Night series on your recommendation.
And no, Josh. There is no solution that doesn’t include dogs and guns. You have to protect your gold and canned food once the Day After Tomorrow hits.
I think I’m going to have to exchange our weiner dog for something a little more threatening…
Keep it. There’s good eatin’ on them li’l wiener dogs, mmmmmm hm.
