This is hysterical. The global warming hype has reached new levels if we are now tacking bridge collapses to tempature increases. Increases that have always occurred and are hardly a new phenomena.
Read the comments on that article, quite funny. A few people suggested selling the gullible government heat resitant paint to protect the bridges. Here's one comment's take:
Painting the bridge? I dunno, that sounds like an awful lot of work. Wouldn't be easier to just blame it on climate change and spend billions of dollars trying to make it 1 degree cooler over the next century?
Here is another favorite:
Common sense 1 if "climate change" brought this bridge down why are not the 4 other bridges like it or the thousands across Minnesota older not falling into the creeks.
Common sense 2 if "climate change" brought down the bridge why is it other much older buildings in Minnesota from Court Houses to historic homes are not falling down.......as you know bridges do not have the extremes houses do in being 80 degress inside while it is 20 below outside.
Common sense 3, Paul Douglas is the resident WCCO weather boy and contrary to the the NTSB, Minnesota in Minneapolis has been very mild the past years. It has been quite balmy in fact with Douglas last year whining about no snow for his snowmobile. Minneapolis does not get that cold like the Canadian border regions.
Common sense 4, this bridge when it fell HAD BOTH MAIN STRUCTURES COLLAPSE. It fell evenly and there is no logical reason for it to have behaved perfectly. It should have twisted and sagged and yet one side dropped and the other end of this section dropped only at a slightly higher angle. That is not infrastructure nor climate change. That is something man made.
And since we are discussing climate change, one cannot continue without mentioning the great High Priest of the Environmentalist Religion: Al Gore.
Here's an interesting list of Inconvenient Facts Mr. Gore must have a hard time explaining:
An Inconvenient Fact - Occidental Petroleum & the Gore Family go way back!
An Inconvenient Fact - Gore owns a company that sells carbon offsets to suckers who believe his lies.
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore drives a Cadillac Escalade and not a Prius. Gore's daughter drives a v12 Lamborghini.
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore’s 10,000 square foot estate in Tennessee with an indoor swimming pool uses more energy per month than you do in one year. His other two homes use lots of energy too!
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore flies in private jets, lecturing us to reduce our carbon footprints by flying and driving less.
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore’s home in Carthage, Tennessee sits on a zinc mine receiving $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc – a company that pollutes the nearby Caney Fork River.
An Inconvenient Fact – Mars and Pluto are also warming up without any SUV’s and crude oil.
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore served endangered Chilean Sea Bass at his daughter’s wedding last month in Beverly Hills. He demanded a recount of the fish to learn if they really are endangered. Florida surfer Dude “Hangin’ Chad” is in charge of the recount. Then Gore bought “fish offsets” to feel less guilty from the company that sells “carbon offsets” – the one he himself owns.
An Inconvenient Fact – Gore dropped out of Divinity school, Journalism school and Law school – but he is now an expert in environmental studies with no degree?
Hm, it seems as if someone's green halo is a bit tarnished. Any more digging into his personal habits and we just might expose the presidential loser for the farce that he is.
