Global Climate Disruption?

What is it with DC? Everything has a cute little name, new or revised.

I remember when I was young and recently married. It was common to ask a couple what they did last night. When they'd answer "played Scrabble" or "watched TV" or whatever, we'd say, "Yeah, everyone has their own cute little name for it." Wink, wink. Well, you had to be there, I guess.

So we no longer have terrorism but man-made disasters. Remember that one? Or how about overseas contingency operations instead of war against terror?

But here's the funniest one so far - we no longer have global warming. No, instead we have global climate disruption. Well, hey, what better way to counter the public's growing skepticism of the global warming in the wake of scientists admitting to doctoring the data?

What does climate disruption mean, anyway? Isn't that just weather and isn't weather something we've had since the beginning of time? Ah, Silly Wabbit, but it's not about weather; it's about tax.

This whole climate thing is all about forcing an energy tax on us (Cap and Tax). Will the C&T tax change the weather? Nope.

We had an ice age; it was disrupted; now we don't have an ice age. Would taxing energy have changed that weather pattern? Nope.

But the energy tax could make us a lot colder when energy prices go through the roof. See, the fair weather politicians are thinking the peons can forego energy use (just turn off the Air Conditioner); they forget some of us peons live in colder climes where turning off the heat means death.

But don't worry. I'm sure they'll invent a cute little name for freezing to death.
