Colder or warmer?

Are we getting any closer yet? Are we getting any warmer? Do you feel like reading about “one of the coldest” German winters of the past hundred years today?

Or do you feel more like warming up to an article about how the Baltic and North Sea are warming up, again?

Strange that you can get such, uh, variety these days, don’t you think? When it comes to newspaper articles about the weather, I mean. Or when it comes to newspaper articles about the climate, if you prefer (yes, I know that they’re different).

Where you won’t get any variation is in the absolute certainty that CO2 is the culprit behind climate change these days (unfortunately, it couldn’t have been the culprit behind the countless climate changes of the past). Talk about a given. It’s not even brought up anymore in these articles. It’s so understood that it’s, well, well understood. It can only be CO2, after all. It’s the law or something.

Of course CO2 is never brought up when it comes to the cold temperatures we’re going through right at the moment, that’s different, that’s just the weather. I understand this. I think. But I’m no scientist, OK? Much less one of those 10,000 objective scientist types working for the UN, and even much lesser so one of those few and far between scientist-in-denial types who either simply don’t get it because they’re not as smart as we are or are on somebody evil’s payroll. The worthless pukes.

But I’m no fool, you know. I’m just a concerned citizen of the world. And I’m freezing my freakin’ *#!?%%! off already trying to figure this stuff out, OK? What do you think? Am I getting any warmer yet?

Have you done YOUR duty yet?

Get out the vote and rock it and like who the hell cares that you’re not registered yet? This is the Internet or something.

You’ve got ’til Monday, punk.

Back to the jungle

Ekel-TV (revulsion television) in Germany has certainly seen better days. No, come to think of it, it hasn’t.

Truly international as usual, „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!“ or, if you prefer, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”, only in German production, this year’s season is really going to revolt or spew or rock or whatever it is you choose to call it big time.

RTL’s star line up will include a well seasoned actress with prison experience, a freshly-operated transsexual and someone who actually goes by the name of “the white negro from Hasenbergl.” I’m speechless almost. With stars like these you don’t need enemies.

Needless to say, I’ll just have to watch, at least once. And so will you, because needless to say, it’s pointless to try to resist.
