I’m a skeptic when it comes to global warming. I am, however, a true believer in climate change. Happens every day, everywhere, since time began. To be fair I searched for past meteorological events that would validate the global warming catastrophist’s breathless warnings of a coming-soon uninhabitable planet. Here are a few:

- The highest recorded temperature is 134 degrees F, logged July 10, 1913, in Death Valley. The accepted reason? Increased atmospheric CO2 from an Alaskan volcano eruption (Novarupta) in 1912.

- Over two days in June,1995, 98 inches of rain fell on Cherrapunji, India, attributed to increased atmospheric CO2 triggered by record high temperatures in Death Valley in 1913.

- The mountains of Maui got nine feet of rain in 1942, initiated by atmospheric CO2 pollution from the oil-fired Japanese fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941.

- In Brazil, in 2011, a 300-car pileup was blamed on a buildup of atmospheric CO2, which exacerbated local global warming, and caused all 300 drivers to suffer synchronized heat stroke.

The earth is flat, caused by, you guessed it … global warming.

God bless America, and God bless our military.
