| Markey: Deniers of global warming should 'start their own country' |
| 2010-08-09 |
| Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) suggested a novel use Saturday for a 100-square-mile ice sheet that has broken off Greenland. "An iceberg four times the size of Manhattan has broken off Greenland, creating plenty of room for global warming deniers to start their own country," Markey said in a statement. Sorry. Way too small, Eddie... We started our own country 234 years ago, Ed, and we're not keen on the way you and yours have been handling affairs lately. We could, however, put you GW enthusiasts on Antarctica ... "So far, 2010 has been the hottest year on record, and scientists agree arctic ice is a canary in a coal mine that provides clear warnings on climate." The last time this happened was 1962. And yet, we're not all dead for some reason... Some scientists have attributed the breaking off of the ice sheet to abnormally warm temperatures this year. ...and some haven't. Markey, who chairs the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, co-authored the House version of the climate change bill that's currently stalled in the Senate. Looks like there's more Philistines around then you thought, eh, Eddie? He said it was "unclear how many giant blocks of ice it will take to break the block of Republican climate deniers in the US Senate who continue hold this critical clean energy and climate legislation hostage." Eddie, why don't you go back to the only real job you ever had, driving an ice cream truck... |
