Record snowfall buries the mid Atlantic region, and virtually every employee on Fox News screams, “Where is Al Gore?”
Let me get this straight. The same folks who, just days earlier denied the reality of Climate Change, have become instant converts. Because they’ve now experienced the devastating effects of what we’ve done to the planet firsthand.
What, all conservatives thought the images of polar icecaps disintegrating were photoshopped? Rising sea levels couldn’t possibly affect the U.S. because God protects His own? Soaring temps on the western fronts of the continents proved nothing? The altered path of the gulf stream was some sort of anomaly?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m hugely relieved they’re finally on board. Guess there’s nothing like gallows humor in the face of impending doom to release all that guilt. Thankfully, these people who put corporate interests ahead of the startling truth that man was directly – solely – responsible for planetary changes that once took centuries to now take but a few years; have seen the light.
Well, that’s the good news. The bad news? It might be too late.
And Al Gore alone can’t save us.
