This global-warming/climate-change stuff is a great racket. Over in England right now, they're locked in the jaws of a very early freeze-up. The roads are iced, the plows overworked, and people are angry. But there's a precious subset of the English population that are not enduring the frigid and premature torments of a northern winter. They're the climate-change activists, bureaucrats, politicians, puppeteers and NGOs -- the class of professional alarmists who've been banging on about global warming for close on two decades now. This bunch has exempted itself from the rigors of English November, traded their sackcloth and ashes for sun-wear and tropical breezes.

Rex Murphy, the TV newsman with a face for radio. He’s the ugliest and often the smartest guy on TV
And to think that God does not have a sense of humor. The temperatures at Cancun were also unseasonally cool during the Global Warming Gabfest.
"The Gore Effect"--proof that God has a sense of humor.
“The apocalypse at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Parasailing to Armageddon.”
Excellent writing. Well worth a read for a Sunday chuckle.
Enough fruit to make a cake!
I can hear Rex Murphy reading this:
They’re toasting their pasty, righteous, caterwauling epidermi on the golden hot sands of Cancun, Mexico, flopped out amid the bikinis and barbeques while they attempt to spell out a future of rationing and want for all the rest of us. Flown there on taxpayer or foundation money, meeting up with all their buddies from the bust that was Copenhagen, the grim, grey priesthood of “sustainable” living are convening in one of the great sybaritic strips of the entire Western world. The monks are in the cathouse.
But hey, if you’re going to do Armageddon — do it in Cancun. The apocalypse at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Parasailing to Armageddon.
for later
You have to hear Rex Murphy to appreciate him. He’s the ultimate Canadian oxymoron: an intellectual Newfoundlander, who dispenses biting satire with a surgical wit and roguish charm with which our most Eastern citizens have become famous. For you older Americans, think Lum and Abner with a PhD.
bttt
He writes like my fav Mark Steyn. I’ll have to give him a read.

Denigrate & defund all anti-truth collectivists. Destroy all UNaccountable bureaucracies.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
I hope they all drank the WATER!
True. Many criminals never stop until they are incarcerated or eliminated. Why isn't Al Gore brought up on fraud charges? How many young minds has he poisoned in government indoctrination schools? Why isn't IPCC dismantled? Hell, for that reason alone, why isn't the UN dismantled?
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
Great article. Making fun of them is the best way to put an end to this nonsense.
Here is England last winter, in January:
