Right all along on “Global Warming”
I have a lot of “green” friends that I’m going to be collecting money from in the near future. Of course, they will then argue that the “man-made global cooling” is the next dire threat to the world.
Regardless, it has been fun to have been right all along.
The Climate Change Climate Change
Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global warming tide is again shifting. It turns out Al Gore and the United Nations (with an assist from the media), did a little too vociferous a job smearing anyone who disagreed with them as “deniers.” The backlash has brought the scientific debate roaring back to life in Australia, Europe, Japan and even, if less reported, the U.S.
In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming. In the Czech Republic, where President Vaclav Klaus remains a leading skeptic, today only 11% of the population believes humans play a role. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to tap Claude Allegre to lead the country’s new ministry of industry and innovation. Twenty years ago Mr. Allegre was among the first to trill about man-made global warming, but the geochemist has since recanted. New Zealand last year elected a new government, which immediately suspended the country’s weeks-old cap-and-trade program.
The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. — 13 times the number who authored the U.N.’s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world’s first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak “frankly” of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming “the worst scientific scandal in history.” Norway’s Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the “new religion.” A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton’s Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists’ open letter.)
When ever you come across a group of people who want to shut down debate (ANY DEBATE), immediately and aggressively fight them with all you have. ” Shutting down debate” is a core strategy of the hard left, tyrants, and liars.
The truth wins out, but only if you forcefully and resolutely keep speaking it.

I live in a Chicago suburb. Last winter was one of the worst in many years with more snow than any of us can remember.
It is now July and the coldest July in history of kept records. I sit on my balcony with a heavy jacket on.
The jet stream is swooshing cold Canadian air into Savannah, Ga. as of this past week.
Al Gore should have his Academy Award renamed to the best fable of all time. With all the infuriating things going on in our government I hope to goodness the possibility of an asteroid hitting us is true and D C is the impact site. What a cleansing that would be.
Talk about getting the government off our backs !!!!!!!!
