Wyoming Resident Hit By Climate Backlash After Getting Snowed In

CODY, WY — In a classic case of snowed-in irony, Wyoming resident Michael Rogers was confronted with the bitter truths of climate change after a severe winter storm left him trapped in his own home last Thursday.

"Dude, climate change is real. It's snowing outside right now, actually. You have to feel bad about it," Rogers lamented to himself as he peered out the window at the relentless snowfall and plummeting temperatures. At 38 years old, he received an unsolicited visit from Mother Nature, who rolled up in a winter storm and delivered a stern warning: "Stop using fossil fuels, quit driving your car, or I swear, lightning will strike you down for being a climate denier!"

In a fittingly ironic response to this climate-induced wake-up call, sources confirmed that Mr. Rogers went on to endure the alleged aftermath of climate change by whipping up an omelet on his trusty gas stove.

At publishing time, Mr. Rogers was busy blaming climate change for his anger and confusion over the last five years of his life, prompting local friends to suggest he might want to consider a different kind of omelet—one that includes some self-reflection.
