"Where's the global warming?
It's freezing here."

This weekend, rock stars will jet around the world, cars and buses will clog traffic, and elaborate sound stages will be set up to burn massive amounts of fuel to send the message to fans at home that they had better conserve their energy or face the allegedly dire threat of global warming.
The Live Earth concerts, which start this Saturday, July 7, are also one last chance for Baby Boomers to relive the "flower power" activism of the '60s. In a recent interview in Rolling Stone, former Vice President Al Gore invoked music icon Bob Dylan to promote the importance of these concerts. Citing Dylan's '60 anthem "The Times They Are A-Changin'". Gore rambled: "What's the old Bob Dylan line? 'Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call/Rattle your windows' - what's the rest of it? - 'for the times they are a-changin'."
But there's just one problem with invoking Dylan to hype the global warming scare. And that is that Dylan himself has expressed skepticism -- to the same magazine -- at the notion that global warming is a catastrophe. When he was asked by Rolling Stone founder and publisher Jann Wenner in the magazine's 40th anniversary issue if he worried about global warming, Dylan replied with an unexpected rejoinder. He asked Wenner, "Where's the global warming? It's freezing here." Wenner, who has blanketed Rolling Stone and his other magazine Men's Journal with doom-and gloom climate change stories (that often bash my organization, the Competitive Enterprise Institute), quickly moved on to other topics after he received his comeuppance.
Yet Dylan's latest statement may signal that in the global warming debate, the times are changing. Even independent-minded celebrities are now questioning the establishment media orthodoxy that the debate over global warming and its effects are all but over.

Dylan has always been Dylan. He’s always stood alone, or led the way, and follows nobody and no fads. He was around even before the Beatles. He’s always gone down his own path and remains the ultimate individualist, unlike these sheep-like idiots in the music world today.
It's all about MONEY, nothing else.
Hypocritimus leftus caused eleven global warming and icing cycles with its flatulence.
According to TimesOnLine, I was right.

Did you post this as a separate thread?
Hi, Eric.
Didn’t post the link as a seperate thread. Just posted it as a link. Have never posted a seperate thread. Don’t know how.
If you wish to use the link in another thread, feel free.

Hi, Eric:
You could also use this link “borrowed” from Hot Air’s “Picks & Clicks”.

It means it has run it’s course.
Will only go down, or less, from here.
Saying is Happy Days went downhill since Fonzie jumped the shark in a later episode.
He’s Joplin without the pain; Kerouac with acne; Kristofferson minus the tonal ability all mixed with a dollop of Aged Muir strained through a wet brandy snifter on edge and best drunk from a paper cup.
