\u00e2\u0080\u009cActual AP Headline: \u00e2\u0080\u0098Experts: Global Warming Means More Antarctic Ice,\u00e2\u0080\u0099\u00e2\u0080\u009d as spotted by Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters.

Which sounds remarkably reminiscent of this actual L. A. Times headline from 2010: \u00e2\u0080\u009cWhy cleaner air could speed global warming.\u00e2\u0080\u009d

\n

Or this Reuters lede from last year:

\"Smoke belching from Asia\u00e2\u0080\u0099s rapidly growing economies is largely responsible for a halt in global warming in the decade after 1998 because of sulphur\u00e2\u0080\u0099s cooling effect, even though greenhouse gas emissions soared, a U.S. study said on Monday.\"

\n

(Paging the Dr. Stranglove-esque John Holdren who suggested launching rockets full of pollution into the upper atmosphere in the early days of the Obama administration -- you\u00e2\u0080\u0099re wanted in the Moral Equivalent of War Room.)

\n

Given that global warming causes everything, no wonder, as Steve Hayward wrote last year at Power Line, \u00e2\u0080\u009cClimate Change Has Become the \u00e2\u0080\u0098Dead Parrot Sketch\u00e2\u0080\u0099 of American Politics.\u00e2\u0080\u009d

\n

But when will Washington\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Joke Warfare against the American public finally come to an end?
