I thought that back in the '60s the sci-weenies were promoting the indisputable fact that we were all going to be entering the worse ice age ever to have been visited upon or planet; a sure-fire extinction event.

That's why the new terminology is "climate change", not global warming. Now the scientists win no matter what happens. Heads they win, tails we lose.

I vaguely remember a soda commercial where a snowstorm started as soon as the bottle was uncapped. Perhaps a Fresca advert?

I'll take hot coffee when its cold out, or hot chocolate.
