Polar Vortex Causes Hundreds Of Injuries

  1. MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—The so-called polar vortex caused hundreds of injuries across the Midwest today, as people who said “so much for global warming” and similar comments were punched in the face.

    Authorities in several states said that residents who had made ignorant comments erroneously citing the brutally cold temperatures as proof that climate change did not exist were reporting a sharp increase in injuries to the face and head regions.

    In an emergency room in St. Paul, Harland Dorrinson, forty-one, was waiting to be treated for bruising to the facial area after he made a crack about how the below-freezing temperatures meant that climate-change activists were full of shit.

    “I’d just finished saying it and boom, out of nowhere someone punched me in the face,” he said. “This polar vortex is really dangerous.”

    The meteorology professor Davis Logsdon, of the University of Minnesota, issued a safety warning to residents of the states hammered by the historic low temperatures: “If you are living within the range of the polar vortex and you have something idiotic to say about climate change, do not leave your house.”

    It's not OK to sucker punch someone you disagree with.

    You may never know when your number is up. Running an errand today, driving at highway speed under an overpass, a curtain of ice came down and in an instant shattered my windshield. No one hurt. Baseball sized hole through the passenger side, glass everywhere, dashboard, both seats, my lap (though the windshield did not fall out of the frame). Turns out a city plow on the road above me accidentally pushed his work over the handrail. I'm glad I train my heart.

    Is that what happened or is that the story you're giving the police?

    For real.

    The police wouldn't even come to the scene, they said since there was only one car involved, and no injuries, "just all the city".

    Five hours later and I can still feel adrenaline in my system.

    Isn't this cute... liberal climate alarmists want to model themselves as tough guy thugs playing the knockout game. Little do they understand that most of their victims, spitefully labeled as 'deniers', are armed & will shoot them dead.

  10. Tell me something Tsing. Do you really think that website presents balanced objective factual science?

    Why do you guys ignore NOAA, NASA etc in favor of these obviously biased sites? That site might as well say "Brought to you by the Koch bros".

    I'm puzzled why a smart guy like you would go there for information about AGW
