     I know a lot of you are worried about Global Warming.  And I know some of you don’t believe it’s true.  I know some folks are worried about the next Ice Age.  And others think we’re still in it.

     We got El Nina years and La Nina years.  We got ozone depletion, greenhouse gas accretion, we got soft tundra and oozing glaciers, we got more hurricanes and record setting cold weather.  We got record setting hot weather and jet streams hopping north and south so fast it’s like a bi-polar meteorological condition.

     It’s getting hard to know how to dress.  Layers, I guess.  Gortex layers.  It’s that or Biospheric Domes.  Put the cities under Pyrex.  Big thermostat the City Council can fight over.  Yell at each other for forgetting to turn it down at night.

     Personally I think all this weather talk is good.  You can’t talk politics anymore everybody’s so polarized.  I just worry when we blame the other party for the weather.  What’re we gonna talk about then?  Republican caused monsoons?  Hurricane Cantor?  The Obama Blizzard of 2010?  The Democratic Killer Heat Wave? 

     I don’t know about all of you, but I think that will have some serious global consequences.  Shrinking dialogues, frozen conversations, stormy relationships and violent domestic ventings.  Fox Weather might predict calm sunny days every day of the week, but for the rest of us, it means no more conversational crutches.  No more, ‘Hot enuff for ya?’ instead of ‘How about that War in Libya?’  No more ‘I’m ready for it to quit raining any decade now’ instead of ‘You got an opinion on that Murdoch hacker scandal in the British tabloids?’

      So if you’re complacent about the global warming debate, imagine a Weather Channel that looks like Chechnya.  Maybe you’ll rethink it.
