Elvis Presley and Anthropological Climate Change Have Left the Building

While watching the dynamic socio-political evolution of the anthropological climate change movement I am reminded of a pop culture phenomena that has been linked to those people belonging to a particular class and culture. The culture that has kept the iconic celebrity, the Elvis's, Jim Morrison's, Marilyn Monroe's and James Dean's alive and well and continuing to earn fantastic royalties shall be refered to as the 'Trailer Park Trend Setters' (political correctness is not welcome here). The overwhelming evidence that the beloved objects of the TPTS have certainly met their demise is just an inconvenient obstacle to the reality that has been created for them. They are proclaimed to have faked their own deaths, spirited away into witness protection, kidnapped by aliens; you get the picture. Never mind that none of these scenarios makes any sense when held up against the evidence and the common sense that questions why anyone would put themselves into very undesireable circumstances intentionally, especially those whose resources allow them not to. Thus is the culture that has provided fodder for comedians, bored shut-ins and slow news days, innocuous and entertaining.
Compare the 'Trailer Park Trend Setters' to their cologne and cufflink cousins, the 'Academia Authority'. This is the culture of those who baptize themselves as the most wise and educated, but who curiously require constant immersion in the academic pool. Like the TPTS's, the AA's have created an alternate reality, but unlike the TPTS's, the AA's are forceful crusaders, bent on forcing all to accept their reality.
The Elvis of the Academia Authority culture is anthropological climate change. Before the damning evidence proving fraud and deceit was revealed, there was a blatant hole in the anthro-climate change mantra; the name itself. Originally dubbed global cooling the movement was responsible for the invention of the EPA. We were told that government created crisis were harbingers of the impending ice age that would wipe out humanity no later than 1989. The temperatures remained steady or even increased slightly in some areas. The AA's learned from this, it became necessary to manipulate the data and publicly repeat the incredible more often. So global warming was born. When the obvious contradictions became too big to contain, the AA's just changed the name to something that sounded authoritative and ominous; anthropological climate change. They even had a face to put on their icon in the form of a man who was once Vice President. They created lucrative industries and effected legislation with their icon. Like all dead celebrities, the anthro-climate change illusion is decaying.
So the Trailer Park Trend Setters and the Academia Authority have found themselves sitting in the same auditorium facing the same dilemna, whether to acknowledge that Elvis and Anthropological Climate Change are sharing an apartment in Tulsa, Oklahoma under an assumed identity. Of course they both intend to continue collecting those sweet royalties even if they are out of shape and asthetically repulsive now.
