We always talk about and are lectured to about how “weather is not climate”. Of course that’s a flexible meme, because now when the weather turns hot or bad, climate is to blame.
I had to go to Walmart today to pick up something, and as I walked down the aisles looking for things, this jumped out at me. Unfortunately, it was so ridiculous, it made me laugh out loud, and I got stares. So, I’m sharing this humor with you.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before some enterprising company did this.

Gotta love that “defend your hair against bad weather” line. Now even when CO2 or weather modification driven hordes of tornadoes descend upon us in retaliation for our climate sins, we can avoid bad hair days.
Of course, shampoo only goes so far. They need “climate control body spray” to really be effective. /sarc
How about Hockey Stick deodorant.
Reaches the parts that other deodorant sticks can’t
One more: The new product ‘Real Climate Soft Soap’ was today withdrawn from shelves after tens of thousands of customers complaints, that it just didn’t wash.
isostatic rebound can be witnessed in action over here in the uk. as a child my family often had holidays on the lovely isle of wight, off the south coast of england across the solent from portsmouth. on the islands northern shoreline is a benedictine monastery named quarr abbey, due to the land sinking the waters of the solant are gradually encroaching onto the monastery lands. occasionally the graves and bones of long dead monks are exposed and wash away leading to local stories of ghosts roaming the beech at night. if you paddle out into the waters of the solent you will come across roman remains and further out archaeologists are diving to investigate remains from the stone age.
Adverts for hair care products often have pantomime pseudo-scientists spouting technical sounding jargon with absolutely no foundation in real science. The parallels with climate science are uncanny.
Packaging may need adjustment to maintain a competitive edge 🙂

Marks & Spencer, UK 2008. :Climate control” mens clothing. No joke, although I roared with laughter when I first saw the label.

How about a Low Emissions Meal from McDonald’s featuring low-carb veggies less likely to result in environmental disruption?
Apparently climate change / weather causes hair loss. Bwa hahahahahahah.
And here’s a special offer.
It’s good to know my hair will be in great shape when my house is flattened by a tornado. 🙂
It’s worse than we thought here, my hair needs protection from extinction.

I think Josh is already marketing “Lew Paper”.
I saw this the other day too. But I’m sorry to say instead of laughing I muttered a few bad words. I commend you on your good attitude!

Maybe it sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere and sequesters it in the users cranium? That would explain why so many of the rank and file Mannequins are airheads!
Two out of three professional Climatologists use Climate Control shampoo. When you think of poo, think of Climate Control shampoo.
Indian Pachuri Climate Controller,s favorite?
Pachuri has a fair crop of hair-perhaps it fertilized by al the manure in his climate control shampoo.
I used to have an airconditioner with ‘Climatrol’ and speaking of controlling the climate out there I see all you zombies have been hard at work-

Keep your eye on the old pea and thimble switcheroo-
“Here’s the news from 1991 – a vanishingly small number of peer-reviewed studies in science journals argue that humans aren’t the cause of global warming.
Here’s the news from 2013 – since 1991, less than two per cent of all peer-reviewed studies say climate change is caused by something other than human activities (that’s burning fossil fuels and digging up forests, to you and me).”
– shampoo
– conditioner
– mousse
– finisher
Logical. Isn’t this the process used to write IPCC papers anyway?

I’ll take it if it also protects the rainforest.
It should keep the leaves from blowing off in the next storm…
==================================================================
Nah. It just keeps the Enviros in a lather.
Son of a gun. . . I do have less hair than 30 years ago. . . I can’t believe I didn’t “get it” why that was until now. . .AGW!
If you think that’s funny, you should get a load of Domino Certified CarbonFree sugar.
Reminds me (somehow) of the following:
‘Condoms aren’t that safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got run over by a bus…’
===========================================================
Hmmmm…….correct me if I’m wrong but if you removed the Carbon from a molecule of table sugar wouldn’t you be left with 11 molecules of the dreaded Dihydrogen Monoxide?
