Quote of the Day, Graph of the Day

"You know the drill: global warming isn’t happening, if it is happening then it’s not caused by human behavior, if it is caused by human behavior then we can’t do anything about it, if it is caused by human behavior and we can do something about it, then that something is too expensive, if it is caused by human behavior and we can do something about it that is not too expensive, then that something is not what Democrats are proposing. And Al Gore is fat, he flies too much, look at his electricity bill, and sometimes when he goes somewhere it snows there, which is very ironic." DougJ from Balloon Juice on an excellent new article in The Economist about global warming

The Economist item points to the small downward dip at the top right end of the following graph as the "cooling" George Will has discussed in his various doofus columns. Yeah, look at the world diving into a deep freeze atop that massive warming trend. BRRR!
