Global Warming: The Miracle Disaster

Is there anything it can't do?
Now it's responsible for the fighting in Darfur. Oh that Mother Nature--she's sure a bitch!

To summarize: there was less rain, which obviously is the result of man-made Global Warming since there's never been a such a thing as a draught before, so the black farmers closed in their land to prevent over-grazing from arab herders. "For the first time in memory, there was no longer enough food and water for all. Fighting broke out,'' he [UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon] said.

I love that--"Fighting broke out." Just like that--like it's the next logical step in the chain or reasoning. Why? No answer. Why couldn't the people there find other ways to resolve their differences? No answer. This is the quality of thinking in people who supposedly are our World Leaders.

Chris, great title. It is a miracle for environmentalists. No matter what measured temps are five or ten or fifty years out, those readings will either indicate that environmental controls are "working" or that "more needs to be done!"

(I would add that their new term, Climate Change , is a stroke of marketing genius -- any pattern outside of a non-existent average will qualify as a problem!)
