Yes, global warm and weather/climate changes.
Mankind is alive, ergo, "we did it."

But I want Al Gore et al to explain why Mars is warmers,
Jupiter has a new spot, and even Pluto is getting warmer.

clearly it's a massive right-wing conspiracy, with those right-wing
talk shows radiating all that RF into space!

Actually, if global warming did melt all the ice on land and
the oceans did rise 20 feet, it would make rebuilding New
Orleans moot and save the taxpayers a lot of money. And
just think of all the new seaports. The whole state of
Florida would become a skin-divers paradise, but it would
ruin the bass fishing in the glades.
And Brittney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith are "real" news.

At least solar system warming. But that doesn't get you an
Oscar.

Nah, the frogs don't come until after the water turns the blood. We've got
time yet.

No one is flying. No one is driving. Most areas have no power. (We
still do, thankfully!)

Crazy.... And they're talking about 6 - 10 inches of snow tomorrow!

A couple of months ago, central OK had up to 1" on ice on everything.
60,000+ without power. Today here in North Central TX we had 60mph winds
and the dust of west TX come though.

Sounds like a great time to climb into the sim cockpit and see if you can
handle the weather.

If you keep your power, I predict that you will be totally full, for the
next few days.

Time to switch to survival mode!
