Global warming discussion at the gym.

I went to the men's room to wash my hands at a 24-Hour Fitness gym restroom in Torrance, California, and I walked in on a conversation.

White male 60's: "...so what is the latest thought on global warming? I've been out of the loop." (it sounded more like a "tell me what to think about global warming" question).

White male 50's: "Global warming? There are a million other planets out there, and they're still there—so that proves there's no global warming. Tell your all friends! ...tell ALL your friends!"
:/

It's a scary world we live in.

"Venus has a surface temperature of 800 degrees and it's still there! That proves there is no global warming!"
