In my view, Global Warming is the "Y2K" of the new Millenium. We will all spend snootfuls of money and get ourselves into a state of apoplexy for a non-event.
Global Warming is the "Domino Theory" of the New Generation.
Global Warming is the new "Rock-and-Roll" that is going to degenerate Society-as-we-know-it.
Global Warming is what happens because once-upon-a-time we "Gave Women the Vote".
Global Warming is the modern-day-equivalent of introducing Racial Integration into the Armed Forces: horror! The End is Nigh!!!
In all cases, the worst case scenario never materialized. Non-events all.
Seems like each new Generation needs to have a boogie-man. Global Warming is the latest in a long and extremely expensive line of time-wasting and resource-wasting boogie men.
Well all this just ignores the warming of Mars....and there is no telling what life forms we are killing there. Doesn't anyone care?
Now we got Global Warming...
Right here in River City...
Now that starts with a 'G', and that rhymes with 'P'...
...and that stands for "Phool"!
Actually we're still paying for that one. ;')
