Did anyone else happen to notice a recent headline in USA Today "White House sees black gold in melting sea ice"?
I'll let that "sink" in for another moment...
Okay, anyone else want to tear their hair out of their heads now? I know I do.
The article discussed how a little treaty may stymie BushCo access to a bonanza of oil that may be accessible now that Arctic sea ice has decreased by close to 20 percent in the last twenty years. And there was not even a hint of the overwhelming, slap-on-forehead irony of all this.
And why has the Arctic sea ice decreased so quickly? Hmm...(Conversation between uninformed USA Today reader and myself ensues) Maybe something to do with the burning of fossil fuels? Oh! I know! It's the natural fluctuation in climate! Yeah! Except that all the evidence points to human caused global warming. Oh, well, that's just lib'rul propoganda. You know, you're right. Liberals want everyone to give up their cars, to stop all manufacturing, and go back to eating grubs in the dirt....
I really need to stop reading that Entertainment Tonight disguised as a newspaper.
