    The best part of her answer...

    is when she tells Katie it doesn't matter what caused global warming - what matters is that we just have to do something about it. Wow. That's the take charge, action-Barbie attitude I like about her so much.

    Hmmm... let's see - what should we do about it? Well this might be a stretch, but is it possible that the "something that we have to do about it" might be something like... us stopping doing what might be causing it? Of course to do that, we might have to know what's causing it in the first place - but I suppose that's beside the point, now that it's here.

    Oh wait, I know, let's put a giant A/C unit on the moon and point it back at the Earth! That'll stop that pesky cyclical weather we have observed throughout history!

    I can see the moon from Alaska! Can I be in charge of NASA?
