Liberals are Just Wrapped Way Too Tight

Liberals are Just Wrapped Way Too Tight

I always like to say that global warming is my favorite environmental causes. So far as I'm concerned, the earth is too darned cold and I wish everyone would do their part by driving humvees. I drive an enormous, low-mileage van myself.
Russian president Vladimir Putin made a similar joke at a UN environmental conference and was shunned.
"In Russia, you often hear, either as a joke or seriously, that Russia is a northern country and it would not be scary for it to be two or three degrees warmer."

OOOOOOOPS!

"Climate change is the biggest and most serious environmental threat we face," said Norwegian Environment Minister Boerge Brende.

"In Norway, it will lead to much more extreme weather. It could, in the extreme, weaken the Gulf Stream," he said, referring to the warm ocean current that moderates Western Europe's weather.

His Canadian counterpart David Anderson said climate change could melt the ice which covers a swathe of northern Canada.

"The decreased sea ice has made it difficult for the polar bears in the Arctic to find seals," he said. "The iconic emblem of the Canadian north is in danger and at risk."
