Not sure if anyone out there saw this last week, but it appears as though global warming apologists have new data to contend with. This from FoxNews:
Tuesday we told you about several areas around the planet experiencing record cold and snowpack — in the face of all the predictions of global warming.Now there is word that all four major global temperature tracking outlets have released data showing that temperatures have dropped significantly over the last year. California meteorologist Anthony Watts says the amount of cooling ranges from 65-hundredths of a degree Centigrade to 75-hundreds of a degree.
That is said to be a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. It is reportedly the single fastest temperature change ever recorded — up or down.
Some scientists contend the cooling is the result of reduced solar activity — which they say is a larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases.
There you have it. All the build up of an entire century’s worth of global warmth erased in a single year. No one has ever argued that there hasn’t been a change in global temperatures. But is it possible that the change in temperature that has been recorded just might have something to do with other causes besides evil SUV owners and frequent flyers?
And this just in: John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, wants to sue Al Gore in order to expose the profitable fraud of global warming. After all, the guy is making hand over fist and winning noble peace prizes for advocating what may end up to be the biggest public hoax since Darwinian evolution.
Well, there it is. Have fun with this. I look forward to the spin that the global warming cultists will put on the facts released about the drop in global temperatures over the last 12 months.
Sean, I was just talking about this today. It has been abnormally cold for a really long time up here in South Dakota. Usually the cold comes for a day or two and then we get a little bit of a reprieve, but that is not happening. The cold is just clinging.
Kory, that’s the story all over the world this winter. It’s one of, if not the, coldest winter on record. There are record lows all over the place — it even snowed in Iraq for crying out loud.
I was listening to some of the spin on the radio this morning. They’re saying that because the earth’s system is so complicated and we know so little, we can’t believe that the earth is actually cooling just because our measurements say so…………Your astute mind is already seeing the gaping chasm in that logic. I won’t insult my readers by spelling out how absurd that argument is.
The global warming issue is not a science issue but a political one. I, for one, refuse to let some bureaucrat try to rob me of my few precious remaining liberties by telling me what to drive, what light bulb to use, and how to set my thermostat in my own home.
sean,
spin: the new language is “global climate change” as opposed to “global warming”. how funny! i certainly want to be a good steward of creation, but i do agree with you and countless respectable scientists – that “man-made global warming” is absolutely a hoax.
