It's not all fun and games around here

So far, this blog has taken a fairly light hearted approach to things. However, after reading Pa's comment to the Bottom Feeders post, I got to thinking about an irate email I received a while back from one of my employer's finer members. Our Fine Member found it unconscionable that a conservation organization would be concerned about global warming and sought to set me--and my organization's bogus science--straight.

After Our Fine Member opened with:

"here's what I sent my buddies here in denver yesterday. So far, noone has has the fortitude to write me back:"

And accused me of being:

"a supporter of the eco-lemming/global alarmist movement that supports policy and advertisement (propaganda) efforts of a very scary movement regarding anthropogenic global warming."

I decided to pick up the phone and give Our Fine Member a call. As it turns out, Our Fine Member actually is Dilbert:
As for the bitter and unsuccessful scientists, they produced this number which tells us the earth actually is cooling.

When talking on the phone with Our Fine Member, he strongly encouraged me to research where my information was coming from because, as he points out, certain alarmist organizations may profit from the global warming frenzy and use their resources to promote further scare tactics. Well, that may or may not be, but upon researching our bitter and unsuccessful scientists, all I seem to come up with is a bunch of hubbub on how second-hand smoke is great.
