The Gods Have Made Them Mad

It used to strike me as impossible for global warming to cause cold weather. Then I realized that I could chill a soft drink in the oven if there were no room left in the refrigerator to bake a cake.

Up until then I did not know that the same cause can have opposite effects. In my unenlightened state, it never occurred to me that carbon dioxide could cause both excessive heat and excessive cold, both drought and flood.

I should have known. After all, we calm hyperactive children with stimulants and cure addiction to drugs with addicting drugs. When the government goes too far in debt, it borrows more money. We achieve diversity through uniformity. We overcome racism with racism. When children don't learn, we send them to schools that don't teach. We question authority by believing the authorities.

Not so long ago, most people believed that God controlled the weather. Now the scientific establishment believes, or at least pretends to believe, that warm weather, cold weather, floods, and droughts are caused by carbon dioxide released into the air by the burning of fossil fuels, that, in other words, human beings control the weather. They think that we can prevent the climate from changing on a planet that has had billions of years of changing climates. The scientific establishment has put humanity on the throne once nigh universally said to belong to God.

It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry.
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don’t you cry.

You’ve got to watch that CO2, since it is .035% of the air that we breathe.

Brilliantly written.

It’s terrible. CO2 has increased so dramatically that Oxygen modules have become so scarce that H2O has become H6O, global warming water!

Ask a liberal what the Interglacial Warming Period is and you will get a blank goober stare. Ask what the Younger Dryas period was and they will probably call you a racist.

CO₂ is 350% of the air we breathe?

That is 35 one-thousants of a percent as I read it.

Just playing the enviro-nut for a post :-)

I went down to the local welding supply and got a bottle of CO2. I just crack it open every once and awhile and presto, no more heating bills. Be careful though, if you raise the CO2 level more than a couple parts per billion inside your house it will spontaneously combust.

Thank You, I needed that!!

They went mad because they thought they were gods. Humans lack the capacity to be gods. Saints, yes, there has been a few. But gods, no way and no how.
