ISIS Surrenders in face of Climate Change Conference
Vanity | 12/10/2015 | ArGee

Raqqa, Syria

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.

"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."

An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.

Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."

According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.

"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."

So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."

I have not personally tested it, but it says so in the African Mammal books.

Thought I'd check up on this evil Nor'easter that we were projected to get.

Looks like its fangs have, for the most part, been pulled. Right now all the whateveritis on the radar is off to the east.

Here's the not-necessarily-ACCUrate WEATHER projection now.

I stay out of giraffe spots. The barstools are way too high.

Looks more like Jersey is in the 1-3” area.

The snow if any probably won’t hurt the daffodils and crocii as much as the cold. Matter of fact, a blanket of snow could insulate them.

My daffodils are blooming and looks like we’re not getting snow. But we are projected to drop to 24 tonight and 25 tomorrow night so they might not like that much.

It’s a wait and see thing since I can’t do much else.

Yes, I saw a newborn giraffe at the Salt Lake City zoo, and I have never forgotten that, as it happened before the advent of so many video cameras. THIS birth was documented, so the video was available.

That was a long time ago, and to this day, I feel sorry for any baby that has to be “dropped” from so great a height.

But, apparently, the babies suffer no lasting damage! <3

And with that, I’m off to bed. I am very tired, and I have a busy day tomorrow.

Please, all of you, take care of you and yours. And everyone in your care, no matter who they are.

Ta.

And then the giraffe came out, and it said: “Hey, you guys!”

“Goonies” reference.
