April fools

[Guy]

This April fools I found particularly amusing!

In a final concession, Bush promised to be a better steward of the planet. “I haven’t always been clear about the threat global warming poses,” he said. “In retrospect, having oil industry lobbyists edit our climate reports was probably a bad idea.” He also admitted that initiatives such as “Healthy Forests” and “Clear Skies” had led to excess logging and air pollution, respectively. To make amends, he has appointed former rival and Nobel laureate Al Gore to head his new conservation initiative, which calls for mandatory cuts on greenhouse gas emissions and rigorous protection for species classified as threatened or endangered. “We’re calling it ‘Pristine Planet,’ ” said Bush. “And this time we mean it.”

Would that that story was true! I don't suppose we'll ever see it happen. Even with Bush out, the oil companies still have all those advantages he legislated for them. As long as a majority of American Men can be trusted to equate their penii with their cars, climate change will have a tough row to hoe.

Haha, I had missed that when you first posted it! And that was just a mean joke.
