With an impeccable sense of poor timing due to a snowstorm in Las Vegas and unusually cold weather throughout the nation, North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler (D-Of Course) is warning that global warming could harm the Christmas tree industry in his state.

Shuler and others plan to hold a press conference Thursday to discuss the impact of climate change.

PING!
And they used to say Gerry Ford played too many games without a helmet.
How many concussions did he get while playing football?
This is a story from your neck of the woods.
This little maggot was supposed to be one of the new, conservative, gun-toting democrats. Monkey-vomit little fruitcake.
NO! You have it all wrong, CHRISTMAS kills Christmas trees.
I wonder what kills more Christmas trees, Global Warming or Christmas?
“playing football”? He was employed by a team or two whose chief business was football, and he wore a uniform while surrounded by people who were playing football, but near as I can tell, he never played football.
was he wearing his tin foil hat when he made these statements....??....i am not even surprised at what i hear spewing from these idiots mouths anymore....good by america it was nice knowing you....
He was horrible Quarterback who became a horrible congressman.
And in 2006, they told us he was one of the new conservative Democrats...
He’s as qualified as Caroline Kennedy!
An oxymoron if I ever saw one...
...I live in Ashe County, NC where we grow $55 million worth of Christmas trees a year....folks here abouts are a lot more worried about root rot than global warming....thankfully we have Virginia Foxx(R-NC) as our Representative....she’s got more brains in her big toe than that fool Schuler.
Yep, that could happen. And dinosaurs could come back to life and eat them all. You never know.
I grew up in western PA in Indiana County that bills itself even to this day as the “Christmas Tree Capital of the World”. As a teenager I trimmed these trees in the summer under the shadow coal generated power plants. The trees loved it!
Well, thank goodness the Holiday Trees seem to not be included in this warning, who has Christmas trees anymore? (sarc)
