28. I'm not a denier, but in all truth, you can't judge by one year.

Global warming is proved anyway because record warm temperatures are being set at rates three times record cold temperatures are. That ratio has been increasing for twenty years. Add to that other observations, and the evidence is conclusive. Even a study funded by the Koch brothers confirmed it. Now deniers are still quibbling over whether it's anthropomorphic or not, but already 60 percent of conservatives look like idiots, and the other 40 percent are holding onto their last shred of dignity that's going to tear away soon.

Though I have to admit, I've always wondered how it would alter the Global Warming debate, and conservative/liberal politics in general if we began having years without winters. It would prove humankind is in deep trouble, but, on the bright side, it would prove progressives were right all along on an issue of world importance would make conservatives the jackasses of history.

Or what remains of history, anyway. I try to look on the bright side, but . . .
