-------------------------------------
It'sfreezing down in North Texas. It's so cold that we've been locked inside for a few days. The only good news (knock on wood) is that our electricity is running. The second bit of good news is that I’m reminded that my wife can make some nice hot soup.
So stay warm wherever you are and remember that we will soon have 100-degree days around here.
Here is a funny one: Have you heard anyone blame any of this on climate change? I haven't, although I heard that former VP Al Gore was in Davos. I don't know why he was there, but I guess his predictions did not come true either.
What happened to the climate? The guys at the I&I editorial board have some thoughts. Let's hear from them:
Over the weekend, USA Today reported that northeast states were experiencing an unusual winter problem -- a shortage of salt.
It seems that there have been so many snowstorms this winter that even states like Michigan and Vermont -- which are quite accustomed to them -- are running short of the snow-melting chemical.
“An official from Monroe County, [Michigan] located between Detroit and Ohio, told the news station that local crews used more salt in December than in the past four Decembers combined,” says USA Today.
But what’s curiously missing from this and other accounts of the winter storm is the obligatory mention of “climate change” as the cause. It seems that bad winter weather is just weather. Whereas bad summer weather is always -- always -- and prominently blamed on our burning fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuels? Aren't we doing that anymore? Maybe not, because suddenly winter storms in January are just that, i.e. winter storms in January!
Where did climate change go? Maybe it was all a big hoax after all. I don't mean that the climate doesn't change. In fact, it's been changing since Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden.
The hoax was the hysterical reaction and stories of bears dying. That's when climate change, as the editorial points out, went from science to a pagan religion.
That's when people with reasonable doubts became heretics and the heroes vandalized works of art at museums.
Anyway, the bad news is that we are freezing in Texas. The good news is that we are blaming it on winter and not climate change. That's progress, as someone said.
