Global Snowing
Maybe Al Gore, Scientist Extraordinaire and Internet Inventor, can explain this Spring’s Global Snowing (here and here and here – H/T Drudge). The point is any ‘expert’ worth listening to will be able to show, scientifically and with hard data, how Global Warming is resulting in this spring’s Global Snowing. Unless of course their theories are all full of holes and are no good…..
My wife and just returned from a trip to visit my oldest daughter’s family in Kansas. We delayed our departure last Thursday due to black ice in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, area which caused dozens of accidents. The tulips in one of the pictures in your first link look positively radiant compared to ours which are frozen to the ground. My neighbor’s fruit trees will be lucky to have leaves this year, let alone fruit. Imagine, if we could do something about global warming, we could have more of this kind of weather.
God made the cycles of warming and cooling over the milleniums, they’re constant, always have been, always will be. Algore is wrong.
(we already knew that)
Snow in Nevada this morning.
A spattering of snow in southern Indiana this morning.
The Global Warming Alarmists base their dire prediction on computer models that bear as much relation to reality as a a paper dart to a 747. If the models did not predict this nasty winter, and they sure didn’t warn us about it, how can we trust them 50 years out? We can’t. Global Warming a.k.a. Climate Change a.k.a. Global Cooling a.k.a. Climate Change a.k.a. Global Warming a.k.a. Climate Change a.k.a. Global Cooling is a cyclical hoax perpetuated by anti-capitalist morons and bad, very bad, scientists too stupid to know how stupid they are.
Actually,. “global cooling” was all the rage in the 70s. Seems scientists had a feeling that more Co2..equals more cooling.
Hence..we were going to freeze to death unless something was done. And the culprit?…why nuclear energy of course..which put an end to all the mass Co2 producing coal fired plants..etc.
So, the “scientists”…ahemmm…decided that we should use as much coal etc..as possible…to offset the lack of Co2..from nuclear plants…so as to warm the planet. Get it?
Oh…you don’t believe me??? Look it up.
BTW…the current global “warming” experts…..explain the “cooling/snow”….this way: the melting of the polar icecaps…via warm water currents…gives off cool air..that is then swept by air currents..etc…and while it’s “cooling” other parts of the world, the poor polar bears are sweating their arses off.
What…you dont’ believe me??
I can assure you this….the weather will “change” tomorrow…all over the world. There…I’m a frikin’ genius.
If the weather men can’t predict what the weather will be like next week how can they predict 50 years from now? This is all about money both grants and donations. It is vastly amusing to see all the liberals jump on this bandwagon and try to push this garbage on people with common sense which is a commodity the liberals lack. They must think we are as gullable as they are. They might, just might, be more persuasive if they had called it climate change and not be so explicit as to warm and cool. Those of us who lived through the 70s remember global cooling and the dire predictions set for the 80s and 90s that never happened.
Of course it is…scientists looking for money/grants/a new research lab, etc. That’s a given no matter what part of science you are talking about.
However, this entire thing has become more of a political movement than it is anything to do with science. Science…left the building a long time ago.
Let me clue you guys onto something. There is a thing called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. It is currently in the process of switching state from its warm phase to its cold phase. To get an idea of what it looked like during the last cold phase, do the following:
Go here
Enter the following data (leave other data fields with whatever is already there)
Period: Annual
First year to display: 1930
Last year to display: 1975
Then click the “Submit” button.
You should discover that during that time there was significant cooling. The trend is at a rate of -0.23 degrees / decade or -2.3 degrees C per century. In 1976 the PDO switched into “warm” state. If you hit the back button and change the dates to start at 1976 and end at end at 2006, you will see impressive warming trend of 0.6 degrees per decade or 6 degrees per century. But you will also notice that temperatures leveled off after the peak in 1998.
The PDO is in the process of changing state back to the “cold” phase and conditions are such that we are likely to see a significant cooling trend over the next 30 to 40 years.
Of course! There is plenty of scientific data out there to study.
There is also the theory (observed) of polar flux. (magnetic reversals of poles) and it’s impact on temp. There is also the worlds oceans serving as a gigantic pump, absorbing and releasing CO2 in amounts that absolutely dwarfs the entire scope of what “global warming” advocates are speaking about. It is this theory that explains why the Co2 level vs temp index numbers are displaced by 800 years. (which global warming advocates do NOT explain nor footnote when they show you a chart of the 2 trend lines parallel…..ie..that they have been offset by 800 years).
God forbid we actually mention the sun’s role in heating our planet.
Or any other weather influencing conditions, events, or etc., other than CO2 as a “pollutant”.
