It’s Either Too Hot or Too Cold
The Gore-ists could not see the forests.
It was 1943. We were in the middle of a global conflict that was caused by the predilection of evil men for power.
Predictions of doom and gloom abounded. How would the world survive? What could mankind do about it? Into all this angst and depression strode Bette Davis in a gorgeous beaded suit, to deliver her own personal lament about the lack of eligible men on the home-front called, “They’re Either Too Young or Too Old.”
Today, the global-warming folks are hot and bothered about another threat to Mother Earth. But this time it’s about man’s predilection to breathe. However, given recent reports on cooling trends, they’ve changed their tack to purport that whatever the temperature may be, it’s still all our fault.
p>It makes one want to belly up to the bar and belt out our own lament. And so, with apologies to the incomparable Frank Loesser: br> /p> blockquote>At first the global warming crowd was bursting forth with glee; br> Just like Sir Isaac Newton was beneath his apple tree. br> They had all of the data straight from the IPCC… br> But the problem for the Gore-ists, is they could not see the forests. p>It’s either too hot or too cold; br> We can’t grow our crops in a fertile way; br> At least that’s the news out of Turtle Bay… br> The threat of global warming, br> Has talking heads performing.
