“The Day After Tomorrow” is a movie coming out May 28. This movie apparently is about some catostrophic twist of events that leads to global warming and then leads to another Ice Age. Sounds like maybe there could be a hint of some entertainment in there. But then again, maybe not. Our dear dear friend Al Gore encourages people to go see this movie. “It’s an emergency that seems to be unfolding in slow motion, but it actually is occurring very swiftly,” says Al Gore. The movie portrays this series of events happening in just a few days. I don’t have a clue what these series of events are, but I’m sure it has something to do with someone cutting down a tree. Or starting an SUV. Or something else just to make a political statement. And from the previews I think I see a worldwide flood of some sort. Does that mean Al Gore wants me to build an Ark?
So now more Hollywood entertainment has turned into a political tool. It’s too bad Gore supports this movie so much and says that this is going to happen as the movie says, because the director of this movie, Roland Emmerich, was also the director of another popular movie a few years back. Anyone remember Independence Day? Yes, that movie with aliens and UFO’s taking over?
So let me get this straight. You want me to:
(1) Believe something Al Gore says?
I could just stop at that, but I’ll keep on going…

(2) Sell my SUV because clearly every time I turn it on I could start a chain of events that will lead to earthquakes, volcanoes, and ice-cap melting?
(3) Take some Hollywood entertainment as the full truth and believe everything in there is going to happen?
(4) Form my fingers into an “L” shape and put it on my forehead?

My take on this is just (if you choose to see this movie) see it as a form of pure entertainment. Despite popular belief, there really isn’t a threat of “Global Warming.” Scientific research through U.S. Government satellite and balloon measurements shows that the temperature of the earth is actually cooling - very slightly - .037 degrees Celsius. That’s 32.0666 degrees Fahrenheit. And this is over the course of 18 years. Ironically, that’s about the time when this whole global warming craze started.

On that note, I think I’m gonna go out and drive a bit in my evil SUV. Now that I think about it, I need gas too. So much for some cash in my wallet….
