Pfffft!

The heat wave in Australia has taken a toll on wildlife, too….

At least 50,000 bats had been killed by the heat in the state’s southeast, said Louise Saunders, president of Queensland animal welfare group Bat Conservation and Rescue.

Yes, it is not the GMOs that have affected both bat and bee, and it is not the radiation from Fukushima that's killing animals all across the Pacific and spreading east. It must be either global warming or someone farting in our faces.

That's who dealt the smelled it, and then they denied supplying it. 

UPDATE: 2013 was the coolest year since 2009

And yet I was told every month was the hottest that month had ever been. SIGH!!!!!!
