Climate Change Poetry

Madame signing books at Elmendorf Air Force Base
(H/T Conservative Girl with a Voice)

Oh my. It's so good to be home in Alaska. I've been able to hibernate back on Madame's kitchen counter top. It has been great! Madame had two book signings today at Air Force bases in Alaska. I can't wait to see what we have planned for the holidays!

OK, so there has been something that I've wanted to share with you all. As you all know, Madame wrote an excellent op-ed for the Washington Post. Well, apparently Algore, the Climategate denier himself, wrote a poem for his new book about "global warming". Don't tell Madame this, but I'm going to re-write her Washington Post op-ed as a poem in response to Algore's poem.

The polar bear number are growing.
But even so, you are still moaning.
Climate change and weather are cyclical.
But your version of global warming is fictional.
I created a climate change sub cabinet for the nation's only arctic state.
Yet you're too chicken to face up to the truth of climate gate.
The economy will be hurt under cap and tax.
But the President is unwilling to fully face that fact.
Mr. President, you said you would be change we could believe in.
So please won't you boycott Copenhagen.

Perhaps I will be even more poetically inspired now that I'm back home and have the view of Lake Lucille out of my window.

Does the Climate Change or Does it Go Rogue?

Madame is starting to wind down the book tour. We went to Utah first, which is supposedly Mittens Pomade's territory. If Madame runs in 2012 (please do!), we'll see about that! Madame went to Reno, Nevada for a book signing there too! I wonder what Dirty Harry thinks about this.

But the real fun came this afternoon, when we went to Facebook to put the smackdown on Algore. Oh, the irony! Madame used the very internet that Algore invented to call him out on his response to Madame's awesome op-ed in the Washington Post. Algore called Madame a climate change "denier". Apparently, Algore doesn't read that paper. The Perky One, do you want ask Algore what he reads? Madame said in her piece that she does believe in climate change; she just doesn't believe that it can be attributed to humans.

Algore also said that climate change is like gravity; it exists. Well, Algore, climategate does exist also! As usual, Madame final line of Facebook was great, "Vice President Gore, the Climategate scandal exists. You might even say that it’s sort of like gravity: you simply can’t deny it."
