They just can’t give it up, can they?

Right now a major arctic cold front it freezing a huge part of the country and just yesterday Hillary Clinton and her sidekick Lurch the Eternally Disappointed were warning us that global warming will be the end of us all:

“You Mr. Chairman [Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.] were among the very first in a growing chorus from both parties to recognize that climate change is an unambiguous security threat,” Clinton said. “At the extreme it threatens our very existence. But well before that point, it could well incite new wars of an old kind over basic resources – like food, water and arable land.”

Some more comedy relief:

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, also used the hearing to promote the issue of global warming activism. He called it a “national security threat.”

[...]

“And the consequences of our inaction grow more serious by the day,” Kerry said. “In Copenhagen this December, we have a chance to forge a treaty that will profoundly affect the conditions of life on our planet itself. The resounding message from the recent climate change conference in Poland was that the global community is looking overwhelmingly to our leadership.”

Of course, they missed out on this tidbit:

The weather service warned that exposed flesh can freeze in 10 minutes when the wind chill is 40 degrees below zero or colder.

At about 8 a.m., temperatures were minus 40 in International Falls and minus 35 in Roseau. Farther south, Minneapolis hit 18 below zero with a wind chill of 32 below and black ice was blamed for numerous accidents.

In neighboring North Dakota, Grand Forks dropped to a record low of 37 below zero Tuesday morning, lopping six degrees off the old record set in 1979, the National Weather Service said.

I hate being cold.

The problem with them abandoning the global warming thing is twofold. One part is that they’d have to sort of look down at the ground, mumble something, and shuffle away into an embarrassed silence after their full throated endorsements of Al Gore’s nonsense. The second part is that the left would have to face the fact that they were just oh so close to being able to tell us all how to live so we won’t over heat the planet. And they do NOT want to do that. They know best, you see.

Oops.

Stay warm up there.
