What I question is not the trend but the distribution of temperatures. A
few examples:
- Folks in International Falls, MN should get a little warm spell after the
holidays. It would be the decent thing to do for those poor bastards who
have to make their living playing host to automakers cold-testing cars.
- I think the best thing that could happen to the world might be for the
Middle East, for a little while, to experience some freezing weather. It'd
slow down the flow of oil, sure, a matter of viscosity. But it would focus
a lot of minds on survival priorities, as we Midwesterners know. Frozen
soil would also make it harder to plant roadside bombs. Finally, a freezing
spell tends to keep folks indoors and offer them time for reflection, a
moment of pause.
- The people in the Southern Hemisphere have somehow got this whole
winter/summer thing backwards. What if we offered to trade them one of our
summers for one of their winters, and vice versa? Wouldn't that even things
out?
Finally, may I just ask if hot tempers contribute to global warming?
