The planet has "warmed" since major league baseball was integrated. For the sake of mankind, action must be taken immediately! Mebbe it wouldn't be too big a risk to wait until after the World Series (latin players pose a real, but smaller risk - 97% of morons agree).
That the temperature rose by 1 degree is not a validation of his hypothesis that emissions would cause warming. There could be any number of causes. He just happened to guess the outcome.
Very scientific.
Around the turn of the millennium, one “theory” the progressives were pushing was that AGW started with Christianity.
