If It's Freezing, It Must Be Global Warming
First of all, anyone tired of Drudge being a weather-pimp? If there's hail in Schenectady Drudge gives it a banner headline (FREAK: HAIL THE SIZE OF RAISINS FALLS IN NEW YORK).
Anyway, just talking about how cold it is with Jim Geraghty of the Hillary Spot, because I'm trying to cadge a free pass to the NR Symposium or whatever it's called, and it's of course also freezing in DC. He has a line I liked:
Jim: Where's that global warming?
me: dude this IS global warming
anytime it's outside of 60-70 F it's global warming
Jim: Somebody ought to recognize that because Global Warming can manifest itself as heat, cool, precipitation, storms, drought, wind, or any other phenomenon, much like a shapeshifter
"Global Warming" is the new term for what we used to call "weather."
