“Snowpocalpyse” was a godsend to skeptics of global warming.
Taking advantage of the fact that Congress had a snow day, the family of James Inhofe — the anti-climate change senator — built an igloo 2 meters high in front of the Capitol and put up a sign full of subtlety: “Al Gore’s new home”
On the other side of the sign, for the attention of motorists: “Honk if you like Global Warming” was written.
Meanwhile, the American government was shut down for the fourth consecutive day. A godsend (again) for the Tea Partiers, who believe that the government is pointless.
According to an ABC/Washington Post poll, two thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with the way their federal government works. They believe that when they send 1 dollar to the federal government, 45 dollars go right out the window.
La “snowpocalypse” a été pain bénit pour les sceptiques du réchauffement climatique.
Profitant de ce que le Congrès était au chômage technique, la famille de James Inhofe, le sénateur anti-climate change, a fabriqué un igloo de 2 m de haut vant le Capitole et posé une pancarte pleine de finesse:
- “Al Gore’s new home“
La nouvelle maison d’Al Gore.
Et de l’autre côté de la pancarte, à l’attention des automobilistes:
- “Honk if you like Global Warming”…
En attendant, le gouverment américain est fermé, pour le quatrième jour consécutif. Du pain bénit (bis) pour les Tea-Party qui trouvent qu’il ne sert à rien.
Selon un sondage ABC/Washington Post, Deux tiers des Américains sont mécontents de la manière dont fonctionne le gouvernement fédéral. Pour eux, quand ils envoient 1 dollar au gouvernement fédéral, 45 cents passent par la fenêtre.
