Cranky on An Inconvenient Truth
“The only thing worse than listening to Al Gore talk of impending doom is listening to Roseanne Barr sing the national anthem.” So says Mr Cranky in his review of An Inconvenient Truth . He then proceeds to rant out all of the usual right-wing rants about how global warming is a myth.
Let’s remember that God has a plan for us and if it involves melting the polar ice caps and killing a few thousand polar bears then so be it.
Its funny and like genuine satire manages to lampoon its own voice rather well.
There are many scientists who disagree about the severity of global warming and some who flat-out claim that historical planet temperature variances don’t support the claim of a crisis. Take, for example, all those science advisors in the Bush administration, who correctly point out that global warming simply wouldn’t fit into the seven days of creation and if it does exist is probably just “God’s warm hug” of Christian humanity anyway.
He concludes brilliantly by saying,
Hey, in the long history of our planet, people and civilizations get wiped out all the time. So stop whining about it.
. It’s good to laugh at serious issues once in a while. — DS
