Are you getting shorter yet?

  Let's add another terrible thing to the Terrible Thinger List that will happen or has happened to us due to global warming.
  In case you didn't know, you're going to get shorter (as if you could ill afford THAT ) if you don't turn your lights off when you leave the room, or if you didn't, for that matter.
  Here's a very small, very partial list and a link to the Warming List; keep in mind that we live in highly stressful, complicated culture. Adding these things into the contemporary consciousness accelerates anxiety but, hey! everyone's on Xanax anyway right?
  No word yet if global warming makes us fatter.
  We wait with baconed breath.
