In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Global Warming Fairy Tales 

Well, here it is. The Emperor With No Clothes and his tailors got a report on global warming. They looked around for someone to read the report. Did they pick a scientist? Nooooo, child, they did not. Did they find someone who was at least well-versed in scientific methodology? Noooo, you naive liberal you. Did they find someone who would no way benefit from changing the report? No, not even close. Instead they had Philip A. Cooney, "a White House official who once led the oil industry's fight against limits on greenhouse gases" edit government climate reports "in ways that play down links between such emissions and global warming." Essentially, this means that a mouthpiece for Exxon changed a scientific report so that it looked like global warming wasn't happening.

Many of us have been saying for years that the oil companies were writing our country's environmental policy and now we have proof! It is OBSCENE. I don't get it. These people have to live in this world. They and their families are going to be hurt by global catastrophe, too. No amount of money is going to protect anyone from the chaos that has already started. Why don't they face the truth and then figure out what to do? Greedy stupid bastards. Or else they are demented. Or stuck in the wrong fairy tale. They're still following around The Emperor With No Clothes. Get your eyes and brains fixed, you poor devils!

Years ago scientists really should have called global warming something else. Weather chaos, perhaps. Superweather, maybe. No, sounds too much like a friend of Superman's. I can't count how many people have said to me, "But it's not getting warmer; it's getting colder." And I have to bite my tongue to keep from saying something cruel and then explain that the global temperature is rising and this causes chaotic weather conditions which means sometimes you're cold when before you would have been warm and vice versa.

In any case, it's time to wake up. HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME.

We are not living happily ever after.
