Harsh Winter Inspires Obama Climate Panel
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 13 February 2010 | John Semmens

Posted on 02/13/2010 4:11:07 PM PST by John Semmens

A decade of declining global temperatures combined with some of the worst winter weather ever seen in the nation’s capital has inspire President Obama to create a Climate Service Line Office to “combat the damage this weather has done to our campaign against global warming.” Obama Administration’s Commerce Secretary Gary Locke has been charged with responsibility for setting up the office.

“It is difficult to keep people focused on the need to fight global warming when they’re digging out from three feet of snow,” Locke observed. “How can we hope to convince them they should pay higher taxes or higher energy prices to help keep the temperature down when they’re trying to stay warm?”

Locke pointed out that “in this kind of environment, the need for our counterfactual message is greater than ever. That’s why we’ve got to establish this Climate Service Line. Rather than having to settle for home-made conclusions based on what’s going on around them, people can call our office and get the approved official position on what’s going on with the climate.”

That’s why we’ve got to establish this Climate Service Line.

How do you know BO/BS doesn't already have one?

The Glaciers are coming! Really, doesn't take too many wet winters with lots of snow before the polar caps start their advance toward the equator.

Earth is alive, I tell ya. If we're getting too warm, she'll throw snow, water vapor, and volcanoes at us. If we're getting too cold, water vapor will dry up, volcanoes will go dormant, clouds will disappear, and the sun will shine through like it has for the last million years. Equilibrium on a stick.

Doesn't matter what we do or what the sun does, Earth will compensate because it has a 'life' of it's own.

Parallels to a womb are beyond my expertise but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point this place doesn't give birth to something. Don't know what it'll look like but Mom ain't so bad. Dad's been firing-off comets in hopes of hitting a place like Earth so it's safe to say he's a pretty big dude. Life is all about reproduction and our universe is no exception.

Thanks John. That the Obamanoids or anyone else thinks we can manipulate things on this scale only proves their ignorance. The forces at work are way beyond our interference and will (again) define our insignificance.

Is “counterfactual” a real word? Sounds to me like it means against the facts, but what do I know.

They need a Climate Hotline to deal with Climate Emergencies. A trained counselor standing by twentyfourseven.

It’s getting more and more difficult to discern satire when reading about this administration.

Rock On! The leftists are getting hit on all fronts and even the right isn’t responsible. They built this hellhole of socialist fear and now must explain it. Mockery is quite in line right now. Add sars, the pandemic, ddt, ozone holes, acid rain and any other man-made scheme so far, I’ll say you have a lifetime of work ahead of you.

A decade of declining global temperatures combined with some of the worst winter weather ever seen in the nation’s capital has inspired President Obama to...call it quits and head home to Kenya.
