“It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar” - Henry David Thoreau
Damn those humans. More evidence of HICC (Human Induced Climate Change):
We are only half way through, and April 2009 is already shaping up to be the hundredth warmest on record!!!
Irrefutable proof of, well, of something. Yes?
And it’s all our fault too.

This month I have been mostly eating…beans.
So I suppose that makes it my fault. Although I could take the Socialist route and blame Thatcher. Her father was a grocer. He sold beans. That’s about as logical a reason as anyone else has come up with so hey, it’s all the grocer’s fault. If they didn’t sell beans there’d be less global warming. Destroy the evil grocers and save the world. Anyone who eats lentils, shoot them now. It’s for the Planet, innit?
Hell, I live in the north of Scotland. Global warming? Bring it on!
‘HICC’? So I have to stop referring to ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’, now?
What next? ‘Human Murdering Of Cute, Really Honestly Endangered Polar Bear Cubs By Not Using Low Energy Light Bulbs And By Leaving The Bloody TV On Standby’?
At least ‘HICC’ trips off the tongue easily. Especially in my case every weekend.
Rob,
Global warming as a scare term has had to be dropped, because even the IPCC has noticed that warming has stopped, so, as you will know, Climate Change is the term now. HICC is, to the best of my knowledge, of my own invention - just to confuse things.
Sorry.
“Anyone who eats lentils, shoot them now. It’s for the Planet, innit?”
Puts the veggies in a bit of a pickle though, Leg-Iron. Cuddly moo-cows and baa-lambs or all life on the entire Earth for the rest of time? That’ll cause a few personal crises in the “progresive” community, I’ll warrant.
Those who fear “global warming” will be really miserable when it turns out not to be happening. When the barbarians are no longer at the gates, what then?
Same as any minority religious group - say, extreme Calvinists - when the world converts to Christianity, they will be the most miserable - because they can’t feel superior any more.
ED,
Theological question. I apologise if this is crudely fashioned - it ain’t my field. My understanding of most Christian viewpoints is that free-will is a vital part of the religion. Are Calvinists sometimes therefore seen as not being Christian?
