Global Warming Today - Two Sides
Well, tonight's low temperature forecast for where I live is 15 degrees F. Where's global warming when you need it? And, in today's global warming news, here's how the two sides approached the issue.
For the skeptics:
SENATOR INHOFE ANNOUNCES PUBLIC RELEASE OF “SKEPTIC’S GUIDE TO DEBUNKING GLOBAL WARMING”
Senator Inhofe has challenged the media in a series of speeches and hearings to stop the unfounded hype.“The American people are fed up with media for promoting the idea that former Vice President Al Gore represents the scientific “consensus” that SUV’s and the modern American way of life have somehow created a “climate emergency” that only United Nations bureaucrats and wealthy Hollywood liberals can solve.” (Click here for pdf file of report.)
For the fanatics:
Crucified Santa gains few fans for B.C. artist
A Vancouver Island artist (Jimmy Wright) has put an effigy of a crucified Santa Claus on his front lawn, causing some neighbours to complain it’s traumatizing their children.
"All I wanted to do was to promote a dialogue," Wright said. "Global warming is consumption-driven so there’s the argument. We have to come to terms with our hang-up on consumption."
What an idiot. Global warming worshippers never quit showing how nuts they can be.

It's just amazing how someone doesn't mind traumatizing kids, etc. to gain converts. As a local radio host said here in Cincinnati, if you have to do something like this, you must have had a terrible childhood.

"Promote a dialogue" means "get someone to listen to me." Nothing more.
Remember that when museum curators are trying to get you to pay attention to crap art, as well. They want a dialoge, because that the real point to them They get to talk,

Why do liberals think it's their "Duty" to offend people, but then turn around and get offended by the slightest of actions?

The police should watch this guy and arrest anyone who visits. Surely there is room in the 'rubber room hotel' for a few more.

The artist's exhibit has to be for shock value because it makes no sense. First, to be consistent with the point the artist is trying to make, Santa should be crucifying something that represents the environment rather than the other way around. Second, what's with a crucifixtion anyway? That's Easter. This is Christmas. Put the Three Wise Men in Mercedes if you want to make an environmental point.
