Regarding this comment thread, I'm gonna look on the bright side. Sure, this pretty quickly devolves into a string of insults about the mayor -- like a bunch of schoolboys shooting fish in a barrel. But, wow, not once did I see a comment declaring 1) global warming to be a hoax, 2) that we are actually just a couple decades from the next ice age, or 3) warming of the earth is due to planetary "wobble." So, I'm going to take that as progress.
