Message To Stockwell: The Flintstones Is NOT A Documentary, An Inconvenient Truth IS

Just my response to Stockwell Day's latest bout of nuttiness, in which he argues that Global Warming can't be happening because

...when I got home from Ottawa, there was more snow in my driveway than we usually get in a year.

Obviously they need you around to shovel it, Stock. That's what you do best.

The infamous Flintstones crack about Stockwell Day is probably my favorite one-liner in the history of Canadian politics, with the possible exception of Diefenbaker's oft used "The honorable Member thinks he is being witty; we know he is half right."

And when I finally dug up the actual quote, I was astounded by the author's identity:

In the past day or so, we have learned that Stockwell Day apparently believes that the world is 6,000 years old, Adam and Eve were real people and - my personal favorite - humans walked the earth with dinosaurs. I just want to remind Mr. Day that The Flintstones was not a documentary. And this is the only dinosaur that recently co-existed with humans. [Holds up stuffed Barney dinosaur]"

Good Lord, Warren, you were funny once, and relevant! What happened, man? What happened?

if you are gullible and/or stupid enough to believe An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary, then you must also believe the Leafs will win the Cup or Toronto is loved by the rest of Canada.

Get with the program dufus, even the UN's IPCC is rapidly back tracking on the whole scare mongering global warming/change/whatever bullshit.

Sea level up 20 feet...no, wait, meters...

Even the IPCC at it's extreme end, talks about a potential 30 cm sea level rise.

And so on. Much more of this and I will begin to think Stocky might have had a point with the Bishop usher routine.

The IPCC report is not coming out until next year. What you guys are reporting here are few cherry-picked bits from a couple of right-wing Brit newspapers.

He might also be one of those who thinks Happy Feet is dangerous because it will make people think global warming exists and will make our kids catch gay.

just like the 3 previous IPCC reports cherry picked the infamous Mann hockey stick graph, ignoring all the other contrary evidence, and of course after of course removing the medieval warm period, and used it as proof of global warming.

Go pick your own cherries, the UN has the global warming lie picked clean already.
