This is parody from The Onion, in case you have been desensitized to news sensationalism from outlets like CNN, Fox, and MSNBC and don’t recognize it as such.

ROTFLOL Oh, man! That was good! Thanks for posting that, Anthony. The Onion rocks. =)
AGW dictionary:
Warming = global warming
Stasis = climate change
Cooling = climate chaos/natural variability
That portends a series of ongoing fluctuations between high and low peak temperatures compounded by the milleniel trends of global warming and global cooling.
Thankfully, those of us in central Florida are mostly protected from this awful season. I had to go to Boston in mid October a few years ago – as the plane descended through the clouds I could see the devastating fall colors for miles. The windshield of my rental car actually iced over on a few mornings. My prayers are with you in the North East during this trying time. I will think of you every time my air-conditioner kicks on.
David,
Not to mention being whipsawed by alternating periods of intense solar radiation.
“Watch for elevated squirrel activity in these areas…”
Great stuff!
Obviously The Government needs to provide dark glasses to protect people from Color Change.

M White,
reading those makes me think this one may be real after all.
It ain’t so funny on the Left Coast. I’m freezing!
Yes, indeed, we have ‘leaf-fall blackspots’ here in the UK. Oh, dear!
Incidental note. Americans didn’t invent the word ‘fall’ for autumn. It was in use in England during Henry VIII’s time. I’m a mine of information, me.
AnonyMoose, that’s “color CHAOS”. Get with the program!
Thanks Anthony, It’s been a long while since I’ve had such a good laugh.

Elevated Squirrel Activity…ESA’s…I love it!! and…”An Emergency Hayride Plan”….thought I was going to choke…

That’s great stuff. Shepard Smith at Fox News should be forced to watch it.
Up here in Maine I was nearly stampeded by frenzied apple pickers. The birds are flying south and it looks like something out of Alfred Hitchcock. I’m staying in and locking the doors.
Due to climate change here in the North Central Valley, preparations are being made for the onslaught of Snow and Canadian Geese descending on the refuges and rice fields.
Wal-Mart has a brisk sales of shotgun shells to concerned citizens. The situation looks hopeless, because a large number of the geese arrive after sunset and before sunrise, making observation of the invaders difficult. This dire situation is due, in part, to the failure of the Congress to provide earmark money for Wild Goose protection, in the US$850 billion bail-out bill, and, instead, sent the money to Wall Street to compensate investors for their bad financial decisions. The source for campaign and lobbying money always seems to come first.
May as well find humor when and where we can. The next president will be an AGW’er.
Prepare for a big carbon footprint on your wallet.
The horror, the horror.
You think THAT’S funny.
Totally unrelated, but here goes

Dave.
Today was first snow at my humble abode in reno, nv. Unfortunately, I was unable to witness as I was not home, as I am not for 300 days a year. This was, however, not unusual as I have seen snow fall in nevada during all 12 months of the year.
Joe in Biloxi says….. “That’s great stuff. Shepard Smith at Fox News should be forced to watch it.”
Weeelll. I dunno……. Ol’ Shep ain’t the sharpest chisel in the Fox toolbox. He’d probably think it was serious…. :-)

Geez, here I am in one of the better fall foliage seasons (still not as good as 2001, see my neighbor’s maple that year at http://wermenh.com/index.html ) and suddenly get transported to an island in Middle Earth where I get chased by weather balloons brainwashing me with bad puns.
I’m going to bed.
I gotta admit though, the reference to Saruman works very well.
“Severely moderate weather . . . temperatures as low as the 50’s.” You had me in stitches.
Check me out at asad123.wordpress.com. My latest post is two jokes about religion and food.

Hysterical.
Oh yes , I’ve just made my third apple pie and on the wach for errant seagulls blown off course. Come on over.
