The planet hasn’t actually warmed over the last decade or so, but we have to keep the numbers going up. This requires new and creative ways to measure temperatures in the absence of thermometers.
At the same time, we can blame cold (La Nina) events like the Pakistan and Queensland floods, record snowfall, record cold, etc. on the artificial warming which we fabricated in paragraph one.
The icing on the cake is to call 2010 a La Nina year, and 2011 an El Nino year.
Got it? Now bring our Earth Day message to the world. People are better off without electricity anyway, as they proved in Japan last month.
Allahu Akbar! It’s Our Friends ‘the Rebels’

A beheading, a few summary executions, a lynching, torturous interrogations, gross violations of the Geneva Conventions — directed at black African captives, with many performed before crowds yelling, “Allahu Akbar!” Those are some of the escapades of the Libyan mujahideen — those lovable “rebels” struggling for democracy in the Arab Spring

E10 Debacle Puts the Brakes on Biofuels
An attempt to introduce the biofuel mixture E10 in Germany has been a disaster, after motorists refused to buy the supposed green gasoline. Car makers, oil companies and politicians have all tried to blame each other for the mess. Even environmentalists oppose the new fuel.

Good damned deal! Germans are showing some sense.
