News out of Fargo, North Dakota, as we have finally had another snow shower. This, of course, allows us to finally start denying global warming again.

After an unseasonable warm spell, even the heartiest of deniers were ready to jump ship.

“It was getting hard to deny global warming when it was 70 degrees in November,” Jack, a senior studying business, told me last Tuesday. “Now that it is snowing outside, we can finally say confidently again that global warming is a hoax put on by the Chinese.”

Jack then informed me, “If you talk to actual scientists, you will see they are very split on global warming.” When asked if he had ever talked to an actual scientist he replied, “Nah.”

In other news, Jack has been offered a full-time position as a climatologist for the Trump administration and a weekly guest spot on Fox and Friends.

North Dakota has seen an unseasonably warm fall this year. Where most people who study weather or understand carbon emissions were getting scared about the future of our planet, deniers kept the faith.

Jack told me that even though he had even his liberal aunt and uncle from California question him over Thanksgiving, he never lost faith in his cause.

“I stick up for what I believe in. It was getting hard, but I knew more than any scientist ever would about their field of study.”

This faith has won over at least one editor here at The Spectrum.

Others though have given in, with some citing “scientific” studies and top climatologists. With opinions so based on facts, it is borderline gross.

“I just think we shouldn’t ignore what people who don’t have science degrees in weather and climate history when talking about global warming,” Jack told me that he would stick it out even if it is 80 degrees in January.

When asked if he would ever change his mind if presented with undeniable facts Jack reassured me that “he would not.”

“What works for me, works for me.” Luckily we have at least one millennial that has strong morals and beliefs.
