			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2040" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 247px"><a href="http://www.dailyplunge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ice-Age.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2040" title="Ice Age" src="http://www.dailyplunge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ice-Age-237x300.jpg" alt="Climate Change" width="237" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Back in the good old days, the sun was the primary culprit of Climate Change and our ancestors adapted by migrating to warmer, more hospitable areas.</p></div>
<p>In the not-so-distant past (defined here as three months or so ago), every time the weather changed Climate Change-ocrats and Global Warm Mongers (a.k.a., True Believers) would remind us that these were the signs of the coming climate apocalypse. Whether hurricane, tornado, blizzard, drought, or even drizzle, any deviation from San Diego-like weather was an I-told-you-so moment.</p>
<p>Now that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1230943/Climate-change-scandal-BBC-expert-sent-cover-emails-month-public.html">the climate worm has turned</a>, the tune has changed. With the earth in a cooling phase and much of the climate change “science” thoroughly debunked as pre-conceived political ideology, fear not! The True Believers are now here to remind us that <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/81083-lubchenco-on-the-snowstorms-weather-is-not-climate">“weather is not climate.”</a></p>
<p>In other words, an unusually cold winter does not indicate a cooling trend; it’s just the weather! Still, thanks to man-caused climate change or global warming or global cooling (wording dependent on the current trends) we can expect more severe snowstorms! Confusing? Contradictory? Sure it is, but confusion and contradiction are fuel for the progressive fire. It’s how progressives try to trick the average American into believing the unbelievable. It applies to any topic, from economics to sociology, but is most prevalent in the environmental movement.</p>
<p>Thus, while any change in the climate is sure to bring catastrophe, it is also acknowledged that regular climate change has been part of the earth’s natural cycles for the past four billion years. Moreover, while progressives are hard-line Darwinian evolutionists, all adaptation to the environment has apparently come to a halt. Now, when the climate changes we will not migrate to higher ground or more temperate areas as our ancestors did. Instead we will stubbornly refuse to move, and drown… very slowly.</p>
<p>Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the True Believers are officially desperate. Pay special attention to the messages being disseminated by the True Believers, namely that “weather is not climate” yet “weather is climate.” The more contradictory their messages become, the more fun it will be to watch. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each year at this time I hope to be dazzled by the fast-moving action on the field and the non-stop hilarity and/or profundity of the commercials that play in between. And each year any hopes of a memorable Super Bowl Sunday are dashed to bits in a hail of chips, queso and New Belgium beer (this year’s choice was a dark one called 1554; therefore, my stupor was a particularly stupefying one).</p>
<p>By the end of each year’s Super Bowl I’m left counting the cost to my body, my soul and my mind, and the reckoning is horrible. This year was worse than most, thanks in large part to the unending litany of crappy commercials. The agencies that created the spots all seemed to be trying far too hard to amuse. By doing so, any attempt at humor is usually forced and unnatural. And so it was.</p>
<p>There was one commercial, however, that stood out. Not because it was particularly clever, but because it was prophetic. I’m writing of course about Audi’s Green Police ad. I won’t bore you with a description of it; watch it below and let me know in the Comments whether or not you agree with my assessment, which follows the ad…</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wq58zS4_jvM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wq58zS4_jvM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Okay then. Here’s why this ad is so prophetic… At first, I thought it was a satirical political ad aimed at Cap and Trade and the Climate Change-ocrats who would have each individual subject to draconian environmental rules and taxes. Come to find out the ad was for what I guess is a “socially responsible” car company called Audi. All Audis will simply pass through the fascist roadblocks that are sure to be part of our Utopian future because they’re so “green”.</p>
<p>Though the ad is obviously meant to be amusing, as in, “Ha ha ha. Wouldn’t that be funny if you were ticketed for having Styrofoam on your person? Hilarious!” It’s so absurd, you see, that it’s funny. But something tells me that Audi and the agency that created the ad would love to see this really happen.</p>
<p>It’s humor with an edge of truth in it; the scenes of constant harassment from the authorities regarding your personal consumption would actually happen if the environmentalists and their lackeys in Congress had their way. Of course, all those who spearhead the environmental regulation of the individual will be exempt, but everyone else (that’s me and you, by the way) will be subject to the microscopic bureaucratic meddling portrayed in the ad. The Green Police are funny (I guess) in the abstract, but less so in reality, kind of like the Gestapo and the KGB. Hilarious on paper, but rather authoritarian in person. </p>
