Three Polar bears approach the USS Honolulu, 280 miles from the North Pole.
The latest IPCC report is clear: the polar bears are gonna drown pretty soon now, there'll be year-round golfing in Canada, and we're all gonna die. The golfing opportunities are good news for Obama, but other than that, the situation is grim. Barbara Boxer claims that she can see climate change from her house, and urges Congress to wake up and act.
Yet as noted here on occasion, the USA is among the cleanest nations on the planet, and the only one to have not only met, but surpassed, the carbon emission goals set forth in the Kyoto Treaty - even though the USA never signed the accord. Babs needs to head over to China and India, and have a heart-to-heart talk with them; with any luck, they'll keep her.
But America needs to act (even more), and soon, and so one way we can all Fight Climate Change™ involves taxing meat. After all, everybody "knows" how detrimental cows and other critters are to the Earth's fragile ecosystems, so the best way to get a handle on that is to apply taxes to your Big Macs and your ribeyes.
You can never do enough, America, and no sacrifice is too great. After all, it's For The Children™!
