Blame it on the rain, and by rain I mean Global Warming


Look at Milli and Vanilli, no idea what's going on. Kind of like you, no idea. It's fitting in a way, they fooled everyone... ahhhh the metaphor almost writes itself.

Anyway, one of the beauties of the "debate" being settled on Global Warming is the ability to now blame basically anything on it... Take the floods in the UK this week and the resulting quote:
Prime Minister Gordon Brown linked the floods to climate change and pledged 200 million pounds (298 million euros, 411 million dollars) extra funding, plus a review to address future issues. "Like every advanced industrialised country, we are coming to terms with the issues surrounding climate change," he said after a visit to an affected area.
I suppose whatever makes you sleep at night, right? But haven't rivers been flooding since like 150 years ago? I read somewhere this is the worst flooding in like 100 years over there...
