Yesterday at work I overheard part of a consversation that hurt my brain.
Customer: It's so warm today!
Worker 1: Must be global warming.
Worker 2: Global warming isn't real.
Worker 1: Yes, it is. Go back to school.
Worker 2: Do you believe in God?
Worker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Worker 2: [looks skeptical]
Worker 1: Yes, I do. Why would I lie about that?
To my great dismay, I missed the part where Worker 2 explains how his belief in God conteracts the Greenhouse Effect. It kind of shocked me that they would talk about something politicized, like climate change, at work. I was blown away when Worker 2 brought up God.
Has anyone else encountered this kind of God-trumps-climate-change thinking? What do you think the Climate Change Skeptic/Theist would have said next? For my edification and general amusement, please tell me, how does this work?

That's where I'd dump my research money and efforts.

The wedge of lime mitigates the dreadfully offensive taste of the Corona.

And mind you, American beer is an improvement over the Mexican variety. I don't drink, but when I did, it was Taddy Porter. Impossibly delicious stuff.

Very few "Mexican" beers use anything other than the German brewmeisters' formulae.
The lime is for additional flavor - even Bud has come out with it's own lime-added beer. Since spending some years in Mexico, I drink lime in all my beer, domestic or imported.
Stay thirsty, my friend --
