A Chilling Irony
Posted on February 2nd, 2007 in General, Random and Miscellaneous | Written by Ben | 1 Comment »
Whatever your opinion about climate change, you have to find this pairing of headlines in today’s Denver Post to be ironic:
“Report: Global warming man-made, unstoppable”
The world’s leading climate scientists said global warming has begun, is “very likely” caused by man, and will be unstoppable for centuries, according to a report by a group of hundreds of scientists.
“Powerful cold grips Front Range” -
If seven weeks of snow haven’t been enough, Denver set a new record this morning for cold when the mercury dropped to 18 degrees below zero.
If global warming is “man-made,” then we denizens of the Rocky Mountain region must really be slacking off to lead us to such frigid temperatures.
If global warming is “unstoppable,” then I guess Colorado is the place to be.
Oh, come on, my Lefty friends. Loosen up a bit and laugh at the obvious irony.

Just before our first huge snowfall there was a big protest in Parfet Park in Golden. I drove by. It was mostly school kids and their adult pushers. They all had the same signs talking about global warming. Later I saw some of these signs in yards. Of course, the signs have been buried for the last seven weeks in snow.
