Today's Irritations

I'm not giving you links today. You can have Google tips in italics, and you can do your own research. Or not. Whatever.

First biggie: climate change deniers. If climate change is a hoax, then why are the trees dying? Why are we experiencing unprecedented ice loss? Why are the Maldives sinking? Why are we being hit by more frequent epic floods, heat waves, and wildfires worldwide?And why are these things happening all at the same time?

Second biggie: Why is our media so lame that it gives bigger headlines to made-up stories by oil-giant-funded deniers (ClimateGate) than to confirming events like the typhoons that battered east Asia in 2009 or the catastrophic fall in 2009 food production?

Third biggie: Must we hear more about Tiger Woods? I don't even watch golf and I don't care whether he's a chaser or not. That's his wife's problem, not mine.
