In a town in Sweden by a stream so clear and cool, a boy would sit, and fish, and dream, when he should have been in school. Now, he couldn’t read or write a word, but happiness he found, in a little song he heard, and here’s how it would sound:
“Hut-Sut Rawlsen on the Rillerah, and a brolla brolla suet…”
Apologies to any Svenskar in the audience.

“Stardust is what Canada needs….”
Agreed, but it was obvious during the first paragraph that it was an April Fool’s joke. Some of the comments are great also.
Happy coincidence! “current (Cypriot) President Nicos Anastasiades’ family businesses transferred ‘dozens of millions’ from their Laiki Bank accounts to London just a week before the devastating depositor haircuts were unleashed upon his people.”

“As the new month gets under way, the flow of arctic cold into northern Europe shows no immediate sign of breaking. From U.K. to northern Russia and from Scandinavia to the Alps, average temperature through at least the end of the week will be at least 5 to 10 degrees F below normal.”

The Economist is shocked, AGW theory isn’t matching observations:
http://www.newsmax.com/SciTech/Economist-Mismatch-Greenhouse-Gases/2013/03/30/id/497052?s=al&promo_code=12FBD-1
Oh, how they soul search:
“The mismatch between rising greenhouse-gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now,” The Economist said.
But with global temperatures up by almost 1 degree Celsius in the last century, the magazine says, “the puzzle does need explaining.”
How could that be. No wait, look up!
But then again maybe the heat is going into …… the oceans! (begging the question warning):
“But The Economist does not give up on the fact that global warming is happening. Deep ocean temperatures are rising, and may explain where the predicted extra heat is going, the magazine says.”
Or could it be because the water is warmer? How could that be …. no wait, where are my sunglasses. Nope. can’t be anything else, humans are the cause. Whew, that was close!!
Except:
“Buried deep in the highly technical piece, the magazine admits that evidence suggests something that global warming skeptics have long maintained: Natural variations in the earth’s climate likely play a bigger role than scientific models have said.”
Oh yeah, big surprise.
Many more to come. Powers of the EPA to be expanded in the name of Gaia.

“Controversial geoengineering projects that may be used to cool the planet must be approved by world governments to reduce the danger of catastrophic accidents, British scientists said.”

“The future forecast is grim”
“The never-ending winter, which has evoked memories of the big freeze of 1963, could have long-lasting consequences.”
“We have just endured the coldest March for half a century but forecasters are warning that it is likely to be another month before we can contemplate a noticeable improvement.”
