Top 10 lists are popular this time of year, so I gave in to the peer pressure. Heres my Top 10 list of totally true climate stories of 2014. Kind of like that movie Fargo, which was not based on a true story, but was a totally true story.
10. Weather did not even occur before Henry Ford automated the production of the automobile. No, really, look it up.
9. Climate modelers discovered that the Earth is not warming nearly as fast as their models predicted. A multi-billion dollar effort is now underway to make the climate system warm even faster.
8. The Koch Brothers were discovered to be extraterrestrials out to destroy the Earth. If you havent heard that yet you are one of the stupid people who were deemed to be not trustworthy enough with the information.
7. Global sea ice reached a near record maximum, due to a bust-gut effort by Exxon-Mobil which has been making ice cubes in China and shipping them to the poles.
6. Global warming causes cooling. This had always been expected, but it was finally proved by two French literature graduates who Googled it.
5. Its Bushs fault.
4. A viable replacement for fossil fuels was finally discovered: Solar Freakin Roadways. (If solar panels tilted toward the sun and kept clean are a good idea, then putting them on the ground and running over them with 10-ton trucks is even better!)
3. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists surveyed agreed that if the global warming issue (and their government funding) went away, their careers would end.
2. The 420th U.N. climate meeting in Lima, Peru, was finally made carbon-neutral with jet travel fueled by methane gathered from unicorn herds, and carbon offsets purchased from Al Gore which will go toward planting of 5.3 billion trees which never die.
1. Carbon dioxide (necessary for life on Earth) was discovered to be different from carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas). The full implications of this finding are still being investigated, but are not expected to interfere with continuing plans to increase energy prices and keep Third World people from becoming First World.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
The question still stands, however.
Naw, you're cool. I can see that you have your "hands up" ;-)
