The self-important grandiosity of the press will never not stagger me, I guess:

“[O]ne of the things we do in the story is we say there needs to be an effort along the lines of preparing for World War II to combat global warming and climate change,” Stengel said. “It seems to me that this is an issue that is very popular with the voters, makes a lot of sense to them and a candidate who can actually bundle it up in some grand way and say, ‘Look, we need a national and international Manhattan Project to solve this problem and my candidacy involves that.’ I don’t understand why they don’t do that.”

Never mind all the science that shows that any warming stopped in 1998, and we’ve been getting cooler over the last ten years.
This will be one of those magazine covers our grandkids hold up while giggling about our stupidity.

Via FunAm, the self-deluding conservative. Tom, of course, is bothered mostly by Michael Savage re-run and the Iwo Jima veterans who are bothered by the use of an iconic image to promote junk science and sell a bit of paper and ink that’s mostly irrelevant anyway. Nothing like ridiculing angry old vets, right, Tom?
