One of the big questions in the climate change debate: are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

  1. “If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out”.

    Which bastard did this?

    1. reminds me of a terrible joke. One day a princess found a talking frog. The frog told her he was a handsome prince under enchantment and if she kissed him the enchantment would be lifted. They could marry and she would bear his many children, love honour and obey him her life would be fruitfully spent catering for his every need.

      That night the princess sang to herself as she tucked in to a meal of frogs legs!!!
      Philbert, I blame the French, that usually works!
