Nighttime? "We can only assume the sun has been destroyed"


It's probably useless to try to explain to wingnuts that climate change experts have long predicted extreme weather as a harbinger of a warming Earth. They're having too much fun yukking at the record snowfalls. Most right-wingers can't seem to grasp that the warming of the oceans -- as in El Nino -- causes evaporation and atmospheric moisture in larger quantities, that, depending on the season, falls to earth as more rain or more snow. Sometimes it's manifested in category 4 and 5 hurricanes and typhoons, or in massive snowstorms, like the ones that swept up the east coast. Back to elementary school, wingers.

Steven Colbert gives the wingers at Fox, who have been idiotically mocking Al Gore for his warnings on climate change, a nice example of their stupidity. Enjoy.
