Okay, maybe I’ve been skeptical about some of the alarms over global warming. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Now I’m truly frightened.

It turns out that global warming poses a dire threat to 14 football teams, including the two playing in the Super Bowl. Environment America, a federation of environmental groups, issued an “analysis” this week, complete with a fact sheet of weather statistics, warning that a warming trend in Northern cities like New York and Boston is eroding the traditional advantage enjoyed by their teams when playing at home in cold weather.

“As if we needed another reason to tackle global warming, now even football could be affected,” said Nathan Willcox, who was identified as the energy and clean air advocate of Environment America. “Congress must get serious about global warming before rising temperatures fumble away cold weather teams’ home field advantage.”

Even football? Say it ain’t so!

I mention this publicity grab not merely to mock it.
