The Fox Who Cries Wolf

Jack Bauer had just finished saving Madam President from a terrorist attack on the White House. My heart was still pounding when "24" was interrupted for a community service announcement. And there she was - still alive, hardly having had the time to check for bullet wounds - Madam President, with an important message: "We are running out of time. Global warming is upon us. Find out what you (and Jack Bauer) can do to reduce your carbon footprint by logging onto FOX.com."

A fictional character warning us of danger....or maybe it's meant as a subtle irony: a fictitious character warning us of a fictitious danger. Ha! Ha! Good one Fox! And now this important public service announcement from me: "Watch the BBC's "The Great Global Warming Swindle. "It's sunspot cycles, Madam President. "

Global warming is in full effect. On december 4th 2009 my houstonian friends were freakin out. it snowed for four hours and they wouldnt go out... less than a foot on the ground and half the city shut down. growing up in new york we went to school in snow up to our waists and school didnt even give us a snow day. the way people in their mid twenty's and early thirty's reacted you would have though it was another devastating hurricane they were actually...afraid. we need to recycle or for lack of a better phrase "go green". you know what i say: we need to "go think" just take a moment to ponder on the world and how functions and the answer to slowing global warming which b the way cannot be completely cured is right there.

Yea. "Go Think" is a good slogan. But you were shorter when you lived in NY and thus the snow probably wasn't that high. Check out the Great Global Warming Hoax sometime when you're not busy recycling.
