The Cooling World

There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production- with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only ten years from now.

With all of the nitwits gathering recently, it's a good time to review what they said 30 years ago.

Being from Minnesota, I think this global warming cycle we're in is pretty neat...

[The Great RJ]

Let's not forget the 1970's book The Population Bomb that predicted we all be starving to death by the year 2000 due to over population. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the world's demise by global cooling/warming, over population etc. are greatly exaggerated.

One of my favorites!

[Bommer]

Too bad Global Warming, is a crock. It should be embraced and welcomed, seeing how everyone is b!tching on the high cost of heating oil and gas!

[headsonpikes]

As best as I can determine from the literature, we stand on the verge of a resumed Ice Age.

Cranking up CO₂ levels is probably our best available expedient to stave off the glaciers.

I think I'll go burn a few old tires now!

"With all of the nitwits gathering recently, it's a good time to review what they said 30 years ago."

This is why the left likes muslimes so much. mo-ham-head said all kinds of contradictory stuff, so he came up with the rule of supercedence: The last thing he said is right.

The left lives by that, even if the contridiction came 3 days ago, versus 30 years ago. Hence: I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it.

[Yo-Yo]

The difference was, back then the whole world wasn't blaming the United States for Global Cooling. Now Global Warming is just another code word for US bashing.

Well I am the founding member of the Iowa Citrus Growers Association (ICGA). Maybe we should talk; I could help you set up the Minnesota version.
I envision orange groves along I-35 from Iowa all the north to Duluth, and from Duluth north to Grand Marais.
I am seeking investors right now. Interested investors can email me at oneborneveryminute@suckers.com

[AbeKrieger]

I have been using aerosol products for years in the hopes of having beachfront property without relocating.

As if that had an impact.

[SJSAMPLE]

But, "everybody agrees" about Global "Warming", just like they all agreed on "The Coming Ice Age."

[pabianice]

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[LachlanMinnesota]

Does that mean that we need to import more illegals to harvest the fruit? If so, I may have to re-think my position.

[HereInTheHeartland]

We have a lot of underemployed Hawkeye fans here in Iowa, they could probably be be brought in to do the work!.

[VOA]

bump

[LachlanMinnesota]

Yes, but do they eat much? I wouldn't want to have them eat up the profits. Are you trying to start some system for getting illegal Iowans into Minnesota? Maybe we need border guards on the Iowa border!

[HereInTheHeartland]

"Yes, but do they eat much? "

They wouldn't eat any of the citrus products. They usually stick to french fries and sugary soft drinks. They usually get a good discount at the counter of where they work.

[LachlanMinnesota]

Good, because we feed our illegals lutefisk for lunch while they work the fields. Keeps out the riff-raff unless they bring their own food. Every had a lutefisk enchalada?

[TheBigB]

Gawd, that movioe blew major chunks. :) I took a date to see it when it was in the theater. I spent a lot of the remainder of the evening apologizing for it.
