#2 Get the cash in singles. That way you can burn them for heat when the next ice age starts.

Over the last million years, Earth's climate has oscillated regularly between ~100,000 years of ice age and ~10,000 years of inter-glacial, AKA warming. Last warm period started about 13,000 years ago, so my money is on the coming glaciers.

#3 Don't confuse the warmers with science SteveS, it only upsets them and makes them louder and more crazy.:p Course, that's what makes it fun.

#4 Congress will be asked to re-prioritise State Department and Treasury budgets.

No more electric-car charging stations at embassies, perhaps?

#6 Seems reasonable and Obama does have the printing machines rolling over at Treasury already. What the hey: drive a Brinks Truck up to the back and next stop the "poor" people in Somalia or the Rann of Kutch and other deserving rat holes.

They can all afford an air conditioner in the ditch.
