In the past year or so it seems everything, and I mean everything has been blamed on global warming. More snow, less snow, more hurricanes, no hurricanes - it seems there were more things blamed on global warming than I could even keep track of. So I started keeping track. As I starting digging I literally could not believe some of the things I found. Anyone who has spent 30 seconds on this site knows there are two things I hate (well, besides liberals of course) and that is gun control and the global warming freaks.
So, sit down, park the SUV in the driveway, fire up the environmentally unfriendly barbecue grill and get a load of just some of the things I've found. You are sure to get a good laugh out of it. I know I did. (Hopefully the links will remain live, but these are, or were, real headlines.)
