You’re (Not) My Kind of Climate

January 7th, 2010 by Dan


It’s been Snow Panic! week this week, except here where I have been relatively calm about the weather. More hot drinks and a wooly hat is all I need, although the emptiness of Office Town yesterday was a bit like a really cheap post-semi-apocalyptic film. Anyway, never one to let the chance to publish a load of old wank, The World’s Greatest Newspaper went all predictable and gave me more retweets on Twitter than ever before when I caught an early glimpse at one of their headlines:

Panic begins by encouraging readers to panic about gas supplies being low which is always the case with gas supplies so shut up. Also: it’s Diet Week at the world’s greatest newspaper. No change there then, and no I do not want my starsign’s coffee grains read thanks.
snow 2
CHAOS in the Express! The infamous “Weather = Climate” head/desk nonsense returns! Diet Week has gadgets to “fight the flab” which is kind of cheating. Did Skinnier Than Before Woman Who Was Off The Telly use them and then split up with Man Who Was Off The Telly? Do we care? No. PANIC!

After encouraging all that PANIC! we are told to keep calm and carry on. It’s hot on the other side of the world so here are some boobs. Phew! Diet Week shows how you can lose weight and keep it off forever but I imagine it involves getting someone to take a chainsaw to your arms and legs.

The infamous retweet story from yesterday:
chaos

Yeah those biased scientists, eh? What do they know? I reckon…

… he’s not biased at all, what with having written a book about the climate change ‘scam.’

Tomorrow: World freezes over, Express builds giant Diana effigy out of snow.
