What does that mean you ask?  Well if you were lucky enough to have missed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull then you are blissfully unaware of the scene in which Indy survives a nuclear blast by jumping inside of a refrigerator.  Think jumping the shark only a magnitude more absurd.

This brings us to climate change and the doomsayers nuking the hell out of that fridge.  I expect Al Gore to pop out of it any second now completely unharmed.  George Will’s column at the Washington Post explains the situation.

Warnings about cataclysmic warming increase in stridency as evidence of warming becomes more elusive. A recent report from the United Nations Environment Program predicts an enormous 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit increase by the end of the century even if nations fulfill their most ambitious pledges concerning reduction of carbon emissions. The U.S. goal is an 80 percent reduction by 2050. But Steven Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute says that would require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the 1910 level. On a per capita basis, it would mean emissions approximately equal to those in 1875.

Anyone with the slightest bit of economic sense understands that any human society requires energy and any growing economy requires cheap energy, preferably getting cheaper all the time.  Remember how bad it sucked when gas was $4 a gallon?  Imagine it being $30 and you can kind of see where we’re headed here.

The alarmists want us to put our economy in full reverse and return us to 3rd world status.  If we don’t the planet is doomed.  DOOOOOOOOOOOMED!  The frustrating part for them is that they are having trouble convincing us of this obvious fact when the planet has inconveniently stopped warming.  Oh and shhhh don’t tell anyone it might not resume warming for decades.  This in no way lessens the impending doom!

Will comes to the equally silly conclusion that we need some sort of climate change expert/panel to get to the bottom of these shenanigans.  Unfortunately for Mr. Will, President Obama already has in his climate change czar, Carol Browner.  She was easy to over look as the one pressing the button to set the nuke off on poor Mr. Gore.
