The Great Global Freezing Debate

Maiasaura tapped her tail on a downed tree to gain the attention of all those reptilian gathered. She was amazed at the size of the crowd. Slowly everyone settled. (Tyrano seemed to be devouring those closest to him, so that helped out tremendously.)

She cleared her throat, “It seems we have an issue to discuss,” she began. “Can’t hear you,” Saltopus yelled. Maia strained to see her but Anklyosaurus had swatted a fly just at that moment and sent Salto flying with a fading scream.

Maia continued, trying hard to ignore the whines of her children, “The climate seems to be cooling at an alarming rate and the council has come to the conclusion that something must be done. This Global Freezing could be a catastrophy in the making.”

The Brontosaurus stopped chewing momentarily to look at Maia, “Global what?” Pterodactyl swooped, “Freezing, you idiot. Ice caps are spreading and there are even big black and white waddling birds. I have a feeling those guys are going to adapt and be around for a while.”

    What genius! Dinosaurs, global freezing, and one of the funniest parenthetical statements I’ve ever read! _TBS presses the ‘standing ovation’ button.

    It’s probably a good thing we are limited to 1024, in this case especially. I read, recently, that the ice age could’ve been blamed on the disappearance of Greenhouse gases; which can be translated to methane, which can further translated to, well, bodily functions. I thought it would’ve been humorous blame the mammoths for eating “healthier”. :D Just as humans are actually considering changing the diets of cattle to reduce methane emission because of the buildup in order to “slow down” the warming. :/
