There has been a disturbing increase in Global Warming Stress Syndrome (GWSS, pronounced gwiss) according to Dr. Ron N. Hyde, a clinical psychologist at the prestigious McKitrick Center for the Especially Disturbed.

I think a good treatment for them would be to take a bus to Icebox, Minnesota. That ought to get rid of this disease, especially if they hurry!

Remember just after the 2000 election when “psychologists” in Florida were treating acute cases of BDS?

Antidote for GWSS: Kill your TV, bury it in a landfill. Move on.

McKitrick Center for the Especially Disturbed

Seriously, does anybody think this is as funny as I do?

Is this place in California? Maybe they could get some of that medical marijuana. That ought to immobilize them, or at least keep them running between the TV and the fridge; instead of amuck

Dr Hyde explained, “All the classic manifestations are there. Mayor Bloomberg didn’t actually say—yet—that we should hunt down and kill those who exhale exorbitant amounts of carbon dioxide, but he implied it.”

Looks like we should ban the Olympics, and for that matter, all major sporting events where athletes might become winded.

Oh my Gosh!!! You have got to be kidding. What losers these folks must be. I tell you I never think about Global Warming unless I am on FR. In fact, if not for FR, I probably would not even know about Global Warming. lol.

Global warming stress syndrome is also rare here in the Boston area. Lately we’ve been more worried about getting frostbite than we are about “heat trapping” gas emissions.

Indeed. Al Gore is also the nut screaming “Fire!” in the crowded theater. If he could, Al would set a fire just to claim the title of “hero”...

GWSS = The stress resulting from scientists who know better trying to convince others of their lies.
They feel guilty rationalizing that limiting industry and population growth justifies their false correlations and campain to increase their own funding.
