Climate change could send venomous snakes slithering north

““Biodiversity” is what they call an environment with all sorts of different types of plants and critters. Typically a good think. Well - except for the venomous snakes.”

Yes, of course, I already knew that. I was being semi-sarcastic. I find it amusing that the left always tries to get the word, “diversity” into any argument.

Dad and I saw a timber rattler slither across a woods road once in Western Maine. No question about it, you can't miss that pattern. It was probably around 4 feet long.

Dad figured that it came up in a camper, or something. Made me wish I was carrying a shotgun instead of a fishing pole.

Well played madam!

The Climate Change Grift “scientists” remind me of the fake preacher on WKRP:

Climate Change Grifter: Nor will I urge you to inundate this station with cards and letters condemning their actions, no sir, that is not my way.

Sisters: His way, amen.

Climate Change Grifter: For if you are good and true, you will write those letters without my asking, and when you do, you might inquire about our Mann hockey stick steak knives -

Sisters: Steak knives!

Climate Change Grifter: - which are free when you make an eco offering of five dollars or more. And now, brothers and sisters, let's me and you get Freedom in a Bulgarian headlock, and whip that sucker right through the great soda pop machine in the sky!

Climate Change Grifter: I got a whole warehouse of that stuff! I got 200 units of The World is Comin’ to an End Lawn Furniture alone!

Sisters: Units!

Climate Change Grifter: The way is works is, you send ME...and the government all your money and freedom and we'll wrastle that old Climate Change to the ground!

> Copperheads and two species of rattlers here already in NY. I don’t believe we’ll ever see cottonmouths here.

My pharmacist got bit by a rattlesnake this past summer while vacationing in Allegheny State Park near the New York/Pennsylvania state line.

Oh - sorry! I didn’t read the article - but I would think adding snakes into the mix would increase “diversity” - that would be a good liberal thing to do!

[McGruff]

As long as they aren’t “vicious” snakes. Somebody warned me about them.

Maybe you went too far with your globull warming regulations. Maybe Moonbeam should dial it back and see if it gets warmer. I predict that it will get warmer in the next 5 to 7 months if he does.

[DeathBeforeDishonor1]

You had the one of the best openings for a retort today.

[Vaquero]

Yup. I hunt east of there on the PA border on the southern tier of NY. They’re there. More in PA, but plenty in NY. And they’re illegal to kill. So remember the 3 S’s. Shoot Shovel and Shut-up.

[who knows what evil?]

Illegals have killed thousands upon thousands of American citizens over the past few decades. Snakes? Not so much.

[Kozy]

Have you noticed that a liberal will never threaten to move to Mexico? What are liberals racists? Do they hate Mexicans. Maybe they are afraid of the cartels, the raping of women, the drunk driving, the murder of children, the lawlessness of Mexico? Good enough for Mexicans to be welcomed into my community by the liberals who then leave in their limos and go back to their gated homes as soon as night falls.

I did, fun movie. I got a lot of respect for Samuel Jackson form watching it. Proves he has a good sense of humor. Confession: when I was a little kid I used to love to run around with a T shirt full of garter snakes.

[C210N]

This is plain awful. Maybe a National Snake Whacking Day should be created.

[tumblindice]

Up north we just call global warming Sssssspring.

[Twinkie]

I like spiders. We have lots of snakes out here on the river. Rattlers, copperheads, and other types. Our
sinkhole down front is full of all sorts of vipers. These
Jihadists crawling around here through the woods are just
cruising for a bruising.

They’re already in DC the US CONGRESS is full of the along with the courts

But when global cooling happens the post bears will move in! Aaaack!
