Global *cooling*
Yes, Virginia, there's a growing sense that global warming is cyclical and natural (not particularly aided by us) and waning and that global cooling is on the way in. A commenter at Fresh Bilge provided this link from the U.K., and the FB post entitled Ups & Downs is a great summary of current thinking with a bit of wryness thrown in for good measure. It reads a little like the Tom Lehrer song that ends with "and I don't like anybody very much" or a revival call-out. They're both must-reads.

Actually, that was the Merry Minuet, written by Sheldon Harnick and probably most honored in its Kingston Trio recording.

Although Lehrer's "National Brotherhood Week" works as well:

"Oh, the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Hindus hate the Muslims,
And everybody hates the Jews."

Thank you, CG!! I adore both those songs and, you're right, I mixed them in my mind. And they do both work! Where are Harnick and Lehrer when we need them?
