The Weather Channel says, "gee, climate change might be bad."
The Weather Channel has a sound bite saying, "Gee, Climate Change might be bad."

I quote: "How much temperature increase is too much?"

I quote: "Some groups have suggested that a further two or three degrees increase in temperature, in Fahrenheit, may be a point beyond which we really don't want to go..."

1. "Gee Davey... I don't know if that's such a good idea."
"Shut up, Goliath! You fucking freudian-super-ego-incarnated-as-a-dog! I'll burn as much goddamned oil as I want to!"

6. Any joke involving
Davey and Goliath is funny, in My Bible.

What if a tornado destroyed Weather Channel HQ?

7. Did you ever see...
that D+G spoof animation where Davey is like Son of Sam, and Goliath talks to him and tells him to kill people? A work of genius.

2. Idiot Clear Channel afternoon drive guy WANTS global warming
In Cleveland . . .

See, he's lived here all his life (that's one strike against his mentality) and hates "lake-effect" snow.

Trouble is, he doesn't realize that, when Lake Erie would freeze over, that would lock the "warm water" moisture out of the air, which contributes to the heavier snowfalls.

So, he doesn't realize that he wants colder winters which would put a dent into the "lake-effect" snow.

Along the lines of why the hurricanes are fiercer after coming over warmer, more humid air . . .

3. Well slap me with a fish and call me Angus
If anything, I'd think the Weather Channel would just LOVE more violent hurricanes, massive blizzards and killer heatwaves. Boffo ratings, baby!! Plus, so what if you lose the odd Weather Ken or Weather Barbie to a flying stop sign or Cat 5-hurled-blender? Plenty more of them in "journalism" school.
