(Using “rain” as an analogy to “heat”……..)

THE DEBATE OVER ITS EXISTENCE
Pro: It is raining harder than it ever did before!
Con: No, it has rained this hard many times in the past.

THE DEBATE OVER ITS CAUSE
Pro: The rain is caused by our burning of fossil fuels!
Con: That can’t be true because it rained before we started using fossil fuels.

THE DEBATE OVER HOW TO DEAL WITH IT
Pro: We can make it stop if we cripple the world economy and stop releasing carbon dioxide!
Con: Put on a slicker and start filling sandbags.

An argument so simple that a child could understand….

A discussion between MSNBC and CNN

MSNBC: “That was a good hit piece you did on Donald Trump yesterday.”
CNN: “Thanks. Wait until you see what we’ve got coming next.””
MSNBC: “When will that be?”
CNN: “July First.”
MSNBC: “Yes, we did already. When is your piece coming out?”
CNN: “July First.”
MSNBC: “We did! We lied way back, but maybe we were not the first.  We were early, though.  We may have been second. Do you plan to hit Melania?”
CNN: “July Second.”
MSNBC: “Listen, I already told you we lied. First, second, what difference does it make? Are you going to hit Melania or do we have to do it for you?”
CNN: “Yes, we are going to hammer Melania. For a whole month, 24/7.”
MSNBC: “Wow. A whole month? You guys are terrific! When?”
CNN: “July.”
MSNBC: “Thank you. But so does everybody else.”

A tip of the Squabble hat to Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.

A burst of attacks by a hyper-aggressive beaver has put wild swimmers in Switzerland on high alert.

Locals in the alpine city of Schaffhausen have been told to stay out of the water after two bathers were wounded by a single animal in the space of one week. An eight-year-old boy and an adult woman have so far fallen prey to the toothy mammal, which lives in the river Rhine.

According to newspaper 20 Minuten, the beaver bit the boy once on the shoulder and once on the bottom before swimming away. The same evening a woman was bitten on the leg and was hurt so severely she needed to go to hospital.

Beavers are not known for mounting attacks on humans, but can become aggressive if they feel their nest is under threat.

Officials in Schaffhausen have confirmed that they will erect beaver warning signs in the area to warn would-be swimmers to beware potential attacks.

Beavers attacking humans goes against their “Basic Instinct.”  Perhaps Sharon Stone is available for a public service ad campaign….

But seriously, what would a “Beware of Beaver” sign look like?
