Global Freezing

  The year is 2026, and outside, snow drifts reached as high as 18 feet. Record colds world wide, shattered all other records, Meteorologists were amazed. The carbon alarmists of just a few years ago, called it global warming? It had been global freezing, not too long again either. But the weather scientists who had predicted this, were all caught with their slips showing, as the big freeze never happened. So they changed their point of view to predict warming, but the public relations department insisted on softer language, and so the term climate change was berthed. And who could argue that, the climate does change. My dad who was quite the weather prognosticator, having worked out of doors all his life, would often say about New Jersey's weather, because Jersey is all he knew, and it was the perfect barometer for change in that we enjoy a full four seasons, so the weather is always in a state of flux. That if you don't like the weather in Jersey, wait, it'll change. Brilliant! Weather, like everything in life is cyclical. So why all the hub bub? Why the panic over risings seas, millions drowning, a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions? Money.
  Surprise surprise, it's all about the money and who controls what, where, and when. Why would we consider giving so much power to any school of thought. Who would control this climate problem, the EPA? They have become second in abuse to Americans only to the IRS. Money is power, and power is control, it has little to do with our being able to influence the weather. As George Carlin once joked,  We think we control the planet? Why this planet will shake us off like a bunch of fleas. Obviously I paraphrase, my photographic memory is getting a bit frayed around the edges.
  In the argument over this ridiculous subject, a warning for both sides, to make you seem less stupid,when discussing this hot topic. We are snowed in here in the Northeast, and a few weeks ago at Christmas time it neared 70 degrees. The advice? Don't go around touting your point just by recent weather patters, keep in mind that the experts were left looking like fools for exactly the same thing.
