Shortage of colored pens blamed on global warming
The fact that the planet has weather at all is a sign of global warming.
"This is exactly in line with what we have been predicting for years," explained James Fearmonger, chief climate scientist at the newly formed Global Warming Prediction Center. "With global warming we have predicted that some areas will see more precipitation, some less precipitation, some will experience warmer weather, some colder. So this event can be fully explained by global warming".The situation was so severe it resulted in an inadequate supply of colored pens.
The unusual weather event has also kept forecasters at the National Weather Service unusually busy when it was discovered that there were not enough colored pens to draw all of the features on today's weather map (see accompanying graphic).It must be nice to be able to claim that any form of climatic activity no matter how common is vindication for your hypothesis.
Wizbag has an excellent piece tying it in to a sort of religious cult mentality when any anecdotal evidence is proof. Be sure to read it all.
