Pity, please
I feel sorry for Jane Fonda.
In this, if you can take it, Ted Turner says that global warming, which he still believes in despite record-breaking early snows, will create cannibals.
I recall that Jane Fonda once rhapsodized (at last, a reason to use that purple word) that she and Ted were attending a dusk light show at the Acropolis and she felt a flush--and knew it was menopause. Come to her with her husband, Ted Turner, at a light show. At the Acropolis. She of course found meaning in this.
Sad, really, these precious, self-absorbed fools.

You know, he could be in denial of the fact that CNN is losing to Fox News. They have had several layoffs. Which is nearly as funny as the dying New York Times.

Nice try, but extreme weather patterns, including unseasonably cold weather as much of the nation is experiencing now are all part and parcel of climate change. "Global warming" is a misnomer since increased temperature is only part of the story. Disruption of the typical weather patterns of the last few thousand years, such as the Walker circulation, not only causes weather patterns that favor more intense (wetter) tropical storm formations in the summer and fall, the disruption of these warm air patterns increases the likelihood of colder, more intense (wetter=more snow) storms in the winter.
A similar argument recently states that because there are "less" hurricanes then back in '05 that means climate change effects are bogus. Wrong. It's not the number of patterns, but the intensity. Storm intensity, both tropical storm systems and winter storm systems, is way, way up. That's the difference we are seeing long term.
You might want to read up on extreme weather for yourself rather than relying on someone else's talking points (or my say so). For as much as some people like to berate supporters of that blowhard Al Gore (or a nut like Turner) for their sheep-like adherence to their every word, the same people are willing to chirp back equally simplistic explanations such as "it's snowing early" without thinking a second about it.
Climate change is just that, it's the unprecedented increase of unpredictable weather throughout the seasons. The fact that the winters are more unpredictable only SUPPORTS the theory of climate change, not the other way around.
The reasons for these changes are certainly debatable facts. The benefit of cutting greenhouse gas may be little or none (i.e. it's probably too late to have any effect), but denying reality is a preeeety silly move IMHO. When a brain trust like Sarah Palin and GW Bush agree that climate change is real, you have to really try to be on the other side of that argument.

Actually I'm not relying on anyone's talking points. I don't listen to any electronic news shows or opinion shows. Ice cores have shown that the climate has been changing for hundreds of thousands of years. We had the Little Ice Age, and if I recall that is why Germans drink beer instead of wine.
My problem is with the classic scare tactic: present a direful situation, and then a solution, which will (1) enrich you if you're selling the solution, a tactic used by think tanks, left and right, or (2) make you feel real big if you can see it as a Noble Cause. In either case the cure is going to be coercive if they can make it that way.
What amuses me, when I am not roiled by it, is how "global warming" morphed into "climate change" and the cure is just the same thing. Which means that the disease is not important but the cure is, or is thought to be by the usual suspects.
When a brain trust like Sarah Palin and GW Bush agree that climate change is real, you have to really try to be on the other side of that argument.That reasoning cuts both ways: either idiots [sic, or nearly so] are always wrong so one takes the opposite side, or even they get it.
My distaste stems from the people pushing this--it's a big excuse for anti-Americanism and an extension of that old argument that we have, what, 5% of the world's population and use, what, 25% of the world's energy. The cure is proposed by the sort of environmentalists who will give you the hair shirt off their backs. While acting more like drama queens than the entire Tenderloin of San Francisco.
And truly serious problems, like our aging population and unfunded social security are being given nothing but lip service. Now there's a problem.

I can aleardy tell that's gonna be super helpful.

Somebody essentially lend a hand to make critically articles
I'd state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to make this actual publish incredible. Wonderful activity!





Was it menopause? ...or just the local bacteria making themselves at home in her intestines?
I wonder if her back spasms are all better now that Obama has been elected? ... or was that more menopause?
I think Ted Turner already is a cannibal.
