Baking apple pie?

  Baking apple pie? Discount orange warehouse( 仓库) has you covered. A fruits of fruit, right? It's 1988 and scientist James Hansen has just testified(证明) to the United States Congress(大会) that global warming trends are caused by human activity and will pose(形成) an increasing threat to humanity in the future. Well, well, that's unusually prescient for a human. Looking for a wedding dress?
  Try a new take on a timeless classic(名著). It's sleek(圆滑的), flattering and modest(谦虚的), just like the traditional dress. Commercials. Could anything be more insufferable? It's 1997 and the United States Senate(参议院) has called a hearing( 听力) about global warming. Some expert witnesses(证人) point out that past periods in Earth's history were warmer than the 20th century.
  Because such variations(变化) existed long before humans, the witnesses claim the current warming trend is also the result of natural variation. Ah, there is something more insufferable than a commercial. Luckily for the humans, there's one more expert witness. What are you looking at? We're all dressed? At least we are by the logic(逻辑) you just used.
  It's as if you were to say apples and oranges are both fruits, therefore they taste the same. Or that underwear, wedding dresses and suits are all clothes, therefore they're all equally appropriate(适当的) attire(服装) for a Senate(参议院) hearing( 听力). The European wars of the 19th century and World War I were all wars, right? So World War I couldn't be any more devastating than those other wars, could it?
