OK, I'm putting the Global Warming idiocy to rest

Our Internet "Father", Al Gore, is the front runner in this charade. You've heard all the stories: Ice caps are melting, coastal cities will be flooded, death, destruction...yada, yada, yada.

Some of you who are my age and older may remember the "Ice Age" lunatics of the 70's. I remember it well, they had us all freaked out that we were all gonna freeze to death. Yup, I saw the glaciers coming, there were blizzards in Tahiti, and they were skiing down on the equator right?
(Ok, back to reality now). None of it happened and everyone laughed at themselves and the "experts" that were predicting it.

Now I have brought this up to some of the global warming folks and because most of them are young, they didn't remember any of this. "Ha!" I thought to myself, get yourself out of this one...lol. You ain't gonna believe this. They have now come up with something to disprove this. Now they are claiming that it was only one dipstick scientist that announced that the sky was falling, (ice age), and that all real scientist's knew that the earth was in a cooling cycle that stretched from the 40's into the 70's.

Well, thanks to Matt Drudge, we got them by the cajones yet again. Apparently, someone did some digging in the Library of Congress and found an interesting article from the Washington Times dated Nov. 2, 1922.

Before Gore

D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library of Congress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."

The 1922 article, obtained by Inside the Beltway, goes on to mention "great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."

"This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s," says Mr. Lockwood. "I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all."

Worth pondering

Reacting yesterday to word that certain European governments and officials are suddenly trying to abandon their costly "global warming" policies, Royal Astronomical Society fellow Benny Peiser, of the science faculty at Liverpool John Moores University in Great Britain, recalls the teachings of Marcus Aurelius: "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."

OK, let's see what we've got here now...

1. In the 1920's, we had a "global warming" that didn't happen.

2. In the 1940's to 1970's we had an "ice age" that didn't happen.

3. And now, in the 21st century, we are gonna have a "global warming" again...

Personally, I am tired of all the "Chicken Littles" running around scaring people so they can reap a windfall of all of us less "intelligent" folks.

And now their whining because alot of us won't believe them. Gee, ya think it maybe because we read "The Boy That Cried Wolf", and they didn't?

Hot tempers on global warming

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2007/08/15/hot_tempers_on_global_warming/

INTRODUCING Newsweek's Aug. 13 cover story on global warming "denial," editor Jon Meacham brings up an embarrassing blast from his magazine's past: an April 1975 story about global cooling, and the coming ice age that scientists then were predicting. Meacham concedes that "those who doubt that greenhouse gases are causing significant climate change have long pointed to the 1975 Newsweek piece as an example of how wrong journalists and researchers can be." But rather than acknowledge that the skeptics may have a point, Meacham dismisses it.

"On global cooling," he writes, "there was never anything even remotely approaching the current scientific consensus that the world is growing warmer because of the emission of greenhouse gases."

Really? Newsweek took rather a different line in 1975. Then, the magazine reported that scientists were "almost unanimous" in believing that the looming Big Chill would mean a decline in food production, with some warning that "the resulting famines could be catastrophic." Moreover, it said, "the evidence in support of these predictions" -- everything from shrinking growing seasons to increased North American snow cover -- had "begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it."

Yet Meacham, quoting none of this, simply brushes aside the 1975 report as "alarmist" and "discredited." Today, he assures his readers, Newsweek's climate-change anxieties rest "on the safest of scientific ground."

Do they? Then why is the tone of Sharon Begley's cover story -- nine pages in which anyone skeptical of the claim that human activity is causing global warming is painted as a bought-and-paid-for lackey of the coal and oil industries -- so strident and censorious? Why the relentless labeling of those who point out weaknesses in the global-warming models as "deniers," or agents of the "denial machine," or deceptive practitioners of "denialism?" Wouldn't it be more effective to answer the challengers, some of whom are highly credentialed climate scientists in their own right, with scientific data and arguments, instead of snide insinuations of venality and deceit? Do Newsweek and Begley really believe that everyone who dissents from the global-warming doomsaying does so in bad faith?

Anthropogenic global warming is a scientific hypothesis, not an article of religious or ideological dogma. Skepticism and doubt are entirely appropriate in the realm of science, in which truth is determined by evidence, experimentation, and observation, not by consensus or revelation. Yet when it comes to global warming, dissent is treated as heresy -- as a pernicious belief whose exponents must be shamed, shunned, or silenced.

Newsweek is hardly the only offender. At the Live Earth concert in New Jersey last month, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denounced climate-change skeptics as "corporate toadies" for "villainous" enemies of America and the human race. "This is treason," he shouted, "and we need to start treating them now as traitors."

Some environmentalists and commentators have suggested that global-warming "denial" be made a crime, much as Holocaust denial is in some countries. Others have proposed that climate-change dissidents be prosecuted in Nuremberg-style trials. The Weather Channel's Heidi Cullen has suggested that television meteorologists be stripped of their American Meteorological Society certification if they dare to question predictions of catastrophic global warming.

Alien....do ya think next he gonna come up with tthe world is flat?? Myself...I believe all this warming has gotten worse since the tsunami....plus...somewhere ....(I don't know where) in the Bible it says HELL enlarges itself everyday.....!!! But hey ....that's just my theory....

We've just had them all here in New Zealand screaming changes to our environment. Lols. A lot of poor people will not be able to afford the change. :?

Personally, my thoughts are that if there is global warming, I think it started when the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan and all the nuclear testings of weapons, space missions etc. Why should we the people suffer and be punished for big corporations.

Actually, I don't really see "global warming" as such, even if New Zealand had 2 icebergs floating towards it earlier this year, but i believe they are the beginning of birth pains for the great tribulation. 8)

Man has obviously had some kind of impact on the environment, how much is anyones guess.

Well said Geshem
:D

Check out The Global Warming Test

This is a very interesting test. I checked with Snopes and found nothing on it. And what's amazing is I got all questions right, even though I guessed at most of them. Read the facts as he presents them. I was amazed at the difference in what we hear through the media and this fellows facts.

'Global warming' shocker – Who's minding thermometers?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58767

Surface temperature recording stations a shambles, says veteran meteorologist

WASHINGTON – Dire "global warming" predictions are based on bad science from the very start, says a veteran meteorologist who found surface temperatures recorded throughout the U.S. are done so with almost no regard to scientific standards.

As a result of his shocking initial findings that temperature monitoring stations were constructed and placed without regard to achieving accurate recordings of natural temperatures, Anthony Watts set out to investigate the facilities used by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

What he found were temperature stations with sensors on the roofs of buildings, near air-conditioning exhaust vents, in parking lots near hot automobiles, barbecues, chimneys and on pavement and concrete surfaces – all of which would lead to higher temperature recordings than properly established conditions.



To qualify as a properly maintained temperature station, sensors must be placed in elevated, slatted boxes on flat ground surrounded by a clear surface on a slope of less than 19 degrees with surrounding grass and vegetations ground cover of less than 10 centimeters high. The sensors must be located at least 100 meters from artificial heating or reflecting surfaces, such as buildings, concrete surfaces and parking lots.

Watts' concerns about the temperatures being used to gauge whether global warming is actually taking place began when he read a 1997 study by the U.S. National Research Council that concluded the consistency and quality of temperature stations was "inadequate and deteriorating." Meanwhile, he learned, the U.S. Historical Climatological Network, responsible for maintaining the stations, was doing nothing to address the problems.

So Watts decided to take up the challenge himself. After surveying a few randomly chosen temperature stations and being shocked at the shortcomings, he set forth on a plan to survey all 1,221 stations, taking photographs along the way. With the help of volunteers, Watts has systematically surveyed one-third of the official weather stations.

The vast majority of the stations surveyed to date fail to meet the prescribed standards. Using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 reflecting proper maintenance and standards and 5 representing facilities that are severely compromised, Watts says 70 percent of those stations surveyed received a 4 or 5 rating, while only 4 percent received a grade of 1.

All of the most egregious violations he has observed in the study would result in artificially higher temperatures being recorded.

Ohio digs out of record snowfall

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080310/ap_on_re_us/severe_weather

Where is Algore? He's never around to discuss these event's.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Highway and utility crews cleared major highways in time for Monday morning commuters following the snowstorm that buried parts of Ohio in as much as 20 inches of snow during the weekend.

Cleanup crews had to work overtime to remove snow that started falling Friday and finally let up Saturday evening. While many Ohio workers returned to their offices Monday, schools in Columbus and other central Ohio districts were closed because sidewalks and side streets were still jammed by heaps of snow.

"We'll have slick spots out there," cautioned Mary Carran Webster, assistant public service director for Columbus.

The storm battered a wide band from the lower Mississippi Valley to New England, dropping 17.5 inches of snow at St. Agatha, Maine; 14 inches at Milan, Ind.; and up to a foot in parts of Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, western New York state and other parts of Ohio.

Thousands of homes and businesses lost power along the storm's path.

Ohio had one traffic death linked to the weather, and four men died while shoveling snow. Two traffic deaths were blamed on the storm in western New York state and one in Tennessee. Two people were killed Friday as tornadoes spun out of the eastern edge of the weather system in Florida.

The Ohio Emergency Management Agency was monitoring the cleanup but no counties had declared emergencies and there were no requests for state assistance, officials said.

Relatively dry weather is forecast in the region for the next two to three days, reducing fears of flooding along the Ohio River, said Mike Ryan, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service station in Wilmington.

"At this point, the (snow) melt is going to take a couple of days, so that may keep the river higher, longer," Ryan said. "But the thought is that isn't going to be enough water to push the river above flood stage at Cincinnati."

Flood stage at Cincinnati is 52 feet. The river had reached 51 feet Sunday, causing some minor flooding.

Late-winter storms sock parts of U.S. and Canada

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080308/wl_canada_nm/canada_storm_usa_col

Don't bother me, I've been playing "Where's Algore" all night

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A late-season winter storm slammed into the Ohio Valley on Saturday, forcing flight delays and cancellations at airports before heading out toward the eastern Great Lakes and the Northeast.

Canada also was being hit with a winter blast that snarled air traffic and wreaked havoc on the roads.

Snow totals from Ohio to western New York could exceed 15 to 20 inches by Sunday, the National Weather Service said. Ahead of the snow, freezing rain, ice and sleet fell from eastern Kentucky into New York state.

Ice and heavy, blowing snow closed Cleveland Hopkins International Airport around 11:45 a.m. EST, the Federal Aviation Administration said. It was not expected to reopen until Sunday morning.

The storm extends a brutal season for much of the central United States, where people have faced some of the heaviest snowfall and mix of wintry conditions in years.

Chicago was hit on Saturday by lake-effect snows whipped up over Lake Michigan, and was shivering in the coldest late-season temperatures in five years.

The city has had its snowiest winter since 1978-1979, overrunning its snow removal budget and leaving streets strewn with thousands of potholes.

CANADA DIGGING OUT

A storm that hit eastern and central Canada was expected to leave parts of the country buried under more than 16 inches of snow over the weekend.

Many flights to and from Toronto, Canada's most populous city, have been canceled or delayed, according to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. But the city's Pearson International Airport remained open.

Air traffic also was reported affected in Montreal and the capital, Ottawa.

Weather advisories were in effect across Atlantic Canada, from rain and wind warnings in Nova Scotia to snow and freezing-rain warnings in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The storm has resulted in so many car crashes that police in Ontario were no longer attending crash sites. Instead, they were asking those involved in a collision to get a tow and report to a designated center, local media said.

Severe weather ranging from tornadoes to damaging wind gusts were reported across northern Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina on Friday and into Saturday.

Rain lashed the eastern Mid-Atlantic region and moved into southern New England.

Two people were killed by tornadoes that ripped through Columbia County, Florida, on Friday, authorities said. A total of four traffic deaths in Ohio, Tennessee and New York state were also blamed on the weather.

Snowfall by midday on Saturday reached 1 foot or more from Houston County in northern Tennessee, through Louisville, Kentucky, to Columbus, Ohio, and Buffalo, New York.

Parts of Interstate 70, which crosses the country's midsection, from Maryland to Utah, was closed in western Ohio on Saturday morning.

Conditions hampered cleanup efforts in northeast Ohio from an ice storm earlier in the week, leaving several thousand customers without power. Other power disruptions were scattered.
