Cooling? Warming? Cooling? Warming? Make Up Your Mind!

The switch among scientists from Chicken Little warnings about global cooling, to Chicken Little warnings about global warming, and now back again, makes for a lot of confusion and also wry humor.

A friend reports that a time and temperature sign in the heart of the city at 90th and Dodge Streets this morning showed the rush-hour temperature as:

-196 F

With tongue firmly in cheek, he asks, "Is that some kind of a record?"

Another pundit quipped: "See? I knew Obama would conquer global warming."
