(Examiner) “The thought that popcorn cost me almost nothing to make, made me furious! The raw popcorn kernels have skyrocketed in cost because we are having global warming, hurricanes, floods, and all of that affects the cost of popcorn.
Can anyone remember when the price of popcorn was cheap? The price of it, and all the other concessions, are high because that’s where theaters make their profit. Not so much from the movie.
(Hufftard Post) As Isaac battered the Gulf Coast, the Republicans — vehement deniers of global warming –shared their big stage with a hurricane. While the party faithful boasted about how they will take over the White House and change everything in Washington, D.C., nobody was talking about what scientists tell us is inevitable: climate change. More monster storms, rising seas, sinking lands, shrinking arctic ice, environmental refugees, drought, water and food shortages, and other natural disasters are predicted. You’d think this future forecast would have at least deserved one speech, especially as the nearby Gulf Coast again suffers from a devastating storm.
Well, we aren’t really getting more monster storms, the sea rise is well within the norm for a typical warm period (as the data for the last 7k years shows), parts of the Arctic are melting while others getting colder, blah blah blah. The sinking lands one is a new one, at least that I’ve seen. These people are nuts.
But, yeah, climate change is inevitable: it has always happened and always will.
