Of course. Some of the "officials" probably have gas and at least three will have heartburn.

"Climate change" don't cha' know...

Which also explains the AFRICAN penguins I saw at the aquarium yesterday. I guess they are recent inhabitants.

Typical Liberal tactic is to point the finger at something, anything but truth to BLAME a problem, or a failure upon.

“We’re expecting 10,000 here tonight. It’s a bit chilly, and we’ve had a strange winter... is it climate change? We had snow in Jo’burg last week for the first time in 25 years.”

Right. It snowed last week and it’s a bit chilly. What a weather disaster. Reminds me of the winter I lived in Las Vegas. It snowed about an inch one morning. Nothing on the streets. The city panicked, golf courses closed, sheer bedlam.

Right! These left-wing anti Humans used more carbon that all of the people in my city will use in their lifetime. So did they pay Algore’s company to give them a certificate that they were carbon free?

Before Live Earth, I predicted that at least one venue would experience much-colder-than-normal temps. I noticed that the Antartica pix looked pretty warm for this time of year. I wonder what the temps were at all of the concert locations and how they compared to normal.

“believes extremely cold weather in the region “

Karl Rove is really really good with this weather stuff.
