JIC (just in case) it seemed my snowy post yesterday implied that the blizzard somehow disproves global warming, let me clarify. As
Colbert aptly pointed out, a blizzard (or even two! like in DC) does not a hoax make, just as the night does not imply the sun's death. My point, only vaguely conceptualized at the time, was that Pollyannaish-disbelief in global warming because of the weather outside is as irrational as the IPCC's (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) contention that the sky is falling in the next couple of decades.
That, and, where the transition to renewable/sustainable energies from soon-to-be-gone (goggle: peak oil) fossil-fuels as an issue of pragmatic resource allocation and thus world security and political stability is concerned, there's a convergence of me and the Sex-Master.
