Climate Quote of the Day

Greg Pollowitz

Regardless of what you think of global warming, the point is that politicians are ignoring inevitable, short-term threats — a flood in California, a hurricane hitting NYC, an earthquake in the Midwest, multiple genocidal dictators in Africa, etc. — while spending an inordinate amount of resources and dialogue on the long-term implications of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Greg wrote this at the bottom of a Planet Gore post about how the Australians may have failed to protect against their recent flooding disasters as a consequence of Aussie Greenbats predicting drought and ignoring the flood potential. The crazy bastards built desalinization plants rather than dams!

    You just know, you just know, this will be blamed on Global Climate Change and some hope there, I think…

    It’s the coldest winter here in AZ and the hype is that it’s caused by greenhouse gasses. It’s amazing to me that the Greenbats can draw such a ridiculous conclusion.
