(Pop-tart, n. "A female singer aged 18-25 known as much for having a nice ass and a highly publicized social life as for the quality of her singing.")

So, a Gore-Shakira affair? That might put off the millenials a bit. Nothing can turn a twenty-something's stomach quite so efficiently (as I recall) as the notion of intimacy with someone your father's age.

Okay, then how about Gore/Charo? Does that work? For all intents and purposes Shakira is the modern day Charo, only Shakira shakes her ass rather than her breasts...anyway....you get the idea!

With the animals and beasts that I see young ladies hang onto these days (absolutely unreal), Gore and Shakira is AOK. It's funny how age separates relationships now, but folks will entirely change their customs and civility for a fad.

Calculate your carbon footprint. Step lightly my friends step lightly.

I just hope the global warming will offset the coming Ice Age I heard so much about back in the 70's.

I'll give you half off the carbon credits I'm selling.

Wow!

I remember being scared that an ice age was coming as a kid. My brother read me this sci-fi book about the last two guys on Earth trying to find others in this frozen wasteland only to die in the end. I'm sure that I was around seven and it was deeepressing!

I think that it would be hilarious if pollution ended up saving the Earth from an ice age. That would mean that consumer capitalism saved the day! However, I'm not going to bet on it.

I think that global warming is an example of Weather Porn, as a friend once said about the Weather channel. It's when you get a lurid kind of pleasure from watching stories about "killer" weather conditions. It's about that and making lots of cash off a non topic.
