Giles Coren Gets Hot And Bothered About Global Warming
GILES Coren hates global warming jokes that are making him hit the Caps Lock key:
Right, there is something that is going to have to stop right this second, and that is people making jokes about “If the globe is warming up then where did all this snow come from, eh? Eh? Tell me that?” Because it is driving me crazy.
He goes on to prove that he a voice to be heard and not laughed at by telling Times readers:
Stop pretending to be surprised that you had to put a scarf and hat on this morning when the world is supposed to be warming up. The two things are not related. Nobody who understands the science is claiming that global warming (if it happens) is going to make Britain hotter in the long run.
You can meet the nobodies at the British Council:
Scientists predict that in the near future the climate in Britain will resemble that of the Mediterranean, ironically a popular destination for British holidaymakers flying off to seek the sun.
Or as Giles Coren, scientist, says:
But for Christ’s sake don’t keep making fools of yourselves with this endless bloody idiot joke about how nice it would be if we had hotter summers in England and didn’t have to go to the Mediterranean every year. Because there is no joke to be made.
Also here, here, here and here. Pass the British wine…
Coren ends:
If you don’t understand it, DON’T TALK ABOUT IT!
No joke…
