Global Warming to Blame Again
Of course, we're always hearing that global warming is to blame or is a threat for many calamities, but here's the latest.
Global warming might cause an increase in illegal immigration as people "flee storm-ravaged or sun-parched regions" to find refuge in the U.S., according to an expert (Devra Lee Davis, director of the Center for Environmental Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute) who addressed a gathering on climate change in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. ..."Even HIV/AIDS can be thought of as a climate-related disease," she noted.
Wow! Global warming is to blame for a lot. With this expanded knowledge, now I can state with confidence why the Braves didn't win their division this year. Yes, it has to be the fault of global warming. Don't ask me how. Just accept it. However, we shouldn't stretch this too far or kids will start blaming bad grades on the same thing.
What has global warming done to you today?

All I have to say is that Arnold Schwarzenegger has gained quite a bit of respect for his environmental efforts in California. Maybe some other Republican politicians could learn a little from him.

Moose, political leaders should be doing what is right, even if unpopular, rather than what is popular and possibly wrong. I don't consider the typical California voter knowledgeable enough about the science of global warming to want to take actions on the matter just because they like that. Californians are costing themselves money, and possibly jobs, by jumping on a bandwagon following a trail with no map.

"What has global warming done to me today?"
Why we've had the most georgeous weather all day causing me much consternation just knowing that tomorrow I may boil alive - or freeze to death - depending on which way the political wind blows.

Global warming has forced me to wear tshirts year round... oh, wait, this is Florida.
