Noggle: 2007 May Be Worst Smelling Year Ever

Scientists predict 2007 May Be Warmest Yet. Well, in that spirit, I'd like to say a few things about 2007:

It may be the worst smelling year ever if everyone forgets to shower and the dogs run amok and defecate everywhere, leading people to track it into buildings.
It may be the coldest year ever if El Padre locks El Nino in his room for not doing his homework.
It may be the worst hurricane season ever, or the best, or somewhere in between.
It may be the year Prince Charles ascends the throne and orders an invasion of the United States and Canada to restore them to British hands, if he goes completely mad.

I mean, come on, they're scientists. They make predictions that may come true, but they're working off of slightly less incomplete sets of data than Pat Robertson. How come these fellows get a headline more sympathetic than scientists who say man might have actually lived concurrently with dinosaurs? How about those who say the natural world has a greater tolerance than mankind could overcome even if it tried?

Because one might move public policy in a more progressive direction, you think?
