Share & Voice: Minnesotans For Global Warming Song (If We Had Some Global Warming)

In light of the snow we have been receiving over the past couple of days here in Duluth, I thought I would share this video that I found on YouTube!

For those of you that grew up rocking out to the pop tunes of the 90's, you will immediately recognize the melody of this song ("If I Had A Million Dollars" by the Barenaked Ladies). So, sit back and reminisce as you listen to the tune from your younger years!



While I felt that this video was entertaining, it was also very biased. Although the video is obviously meant to be a joke and poke fun at "crazy liberals with paranoia about global warming," I think it ended up making the creators of the video look arrogant and uneducated. I was also shocked to learn that the creators of the video, Minnesotans for Global Warming, have an entire website based on their beliefs about global warming. It's very interesting...check it out!

Very uneducated... since when does global warming mean that everything will be warm all the time?! Read a book :)

Hmmm... I think that along with making themselves look uneducated, these guys also made Minnesotans as a whole look bad which I take offense to!
This was a good post, Lauren - thanks for sharing!
