Crab: I’ve been thinking about what you said. But I still don’t agree. Some animals say one thing, others say others, how am I to decide?
Albatross: Why not ask my friend Bulldog?
* Bulldog turns and flashes a friendly smile that somehow seems alarmingly threatening
Bulldog: What Albatross says is true. We’ve measured the temperature and the sea levels and all sorts of other things, and the climate is certainly changing.
Crab: But the sea levels change because of the tides, and the weather changes because of the seasons.
* Bulldog looks at Albatross quizzically
Bulldog: Sure, but the tides and seasons aren’t the only reasons for changes.
Crab: No, no, it’s only hot because summer’s here, and the tide’s come in. Nothing’s changing except what’s supposed to.
