you spent part of Christmas weekend stuck in a foot of snow - er, make that “climate fluff” - you may have found yourself asking “Whatever happened to all that ‘global warming’ Al Gore kept yelling about a few years ago?”
Good question.
According to members of the government/science funding axis pushing the theory of Anthropomorphic Global Warming - aka “Your Pick-Up Is Frying Our Planet” - the mountains of snowfall across North America actually prove the Earth is warming. Believe it or not, they say, warming actually makes the Earth colder.
Sounds crazy, but as the Potsdam Institute of Climate Research announced last Tuesday, man-made global warming could cause “polar winds to make their way to Europe and North Asia, whereby the probability of cold winters triples.”
See? More cold proves global warming.
That very day a Professor Stephan Rahmstorf released a report saying climate change means “we have to anticipate milder winters rather than cold ones,” and that even our “cold” winters have gotten “warmer.”
He says more warmth, not more cold, is proof of global warming. And who is this nut? He’s a scientist at the same Potsdam Institute.
Which is why “climate change” is the perfect mantra of the modern bureaucrat and big-government activist: The evidence always proves you right.
You might be surprised, for example, to learn that “from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming.” You might be even more surprised by the news that, since 2002, temperature trends have been downward, though by statistically insignificant amounts.
But the real kicker is that the guy who happily reported these facts is uber-warming activist...

The 1939 movie “Christmas Carol” includes the lines about population control, both at the beginning when the men show up at Scrooge & Marley to collect for the poor, and when the Ghost of Christmas Present confronts Scrooge with his own words.
The 1939 version starred Reginald Owen as Scrooge, and Gene Lockhart (Lost-in-Space mom’s father) as Bob Cratchet.
I stand corrected. I don’t think I’ve seen that version. Thank you.

I highly recommend it.

Though it takes some liberties with the original text, it is the closest movie rendition I’ve seen.
