fantastic_jackie...like the old school.
Or Schoolhouse Rock, which my parents played for me growing up. We were watching it the other day, and I've been singing different ones ever since. I'd forgotten about Tyrannasaurus Debt. This one isn't my favorite, but it DOES make a pretty good point!
GLOBAL WARMING UPDATE
Sorry for the caps. Just.. you know, when we're talking about Global Warming, we're talking about saving the planet! And I want to feel important.
A little Googling... Well, actually a lot of Googling produced this intriguing nugget:
EPA Suppresses Global COOLING Report
Wha- What's this? The EPA? CBS, you don't mean the... Environmental Protection Agency? Suppressing reports that disprove Global Warming predictions? NO! Why would they do something like that???
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty "decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data."
Well, gee, that sounds really important. Whether carbon dioxide should be regulated... before making hasty decisions...? HEY!! Do you think that maybe this had something to do with the Cap and Trade bill coming up in the House?
Noooo! I must.... I must be completely out of my mind to draw such conclusions. No one in Washington or the EPA has any outside interests in the passing of that bill! They just want to, you know, save the planet!
Clean air.
Clean water.
Hug the Earth.
Democrats and Congress have a monopoly on this stuff, you know. They care.
Well... Okay, so maybe there are a few Representatives and Senators that have some pretty questionable alliances with corporations that stand to make a lot via Stock up-ticks from either new market securities or new technologies, but hey! It's all a coincidence, right? Yeah. Yeah!! Of COURSE it is! Because they care. This isn't political!
The EPA official, Al McGartland, said in an e-mail message to a staff researcher on March 17: "The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward... and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision."
WHAT??! WHAT did he say??! The comments don't help policy decisons? But I thought... I thought this was science?? Pure, unbiased, facts-only science!
The EPA is political??!
NOOO! I don't... I WON'T believe it! I just... the outrage! Clearly, this is all right wing spin! It's talking points and just... flat out lies!! CBS is obviously a skewed right-wing talking points media machine. Just like that evil Faux News!
