Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

    A spokseman for an environmental think tank, anticipating the forthcoming release of results proving that there is no [duh] global warming threat, said Green groups will be "devastated and panicked" by this new research.  Of course they will; it was their religion and raison d'etre.
    Too late for CFC 12 (Freon) though.  Too late to save millions of cans of hairspray that never saw life.  Too late to reclaim thousands of cu. meters of breath I expended telling legions of nincompoops that they were insufferable ignoramuses on the matter.  Just as the discovery that there is absolutely no acid rain problem did not result in the immediate repeal of the horrid 1990 Clean Air Act, don't hold your breath waiting for the return of poor Freon.  The priests and priestesses of the warm air religion will still peddle their false god, but now it's okay to punch them in the nose.  Have at it.
