ITS COOL MAN

The global warming crowd is thrilled to see the record high temperatures scorching the East this week.  The main stream media is reporting this as proof positive of global warming.  As always, this is nonsense.  The following chart says it all:

Yes, it is hot.  That frequently happens this time of year.  Other than the global warming crowd, we refer to this as summer.  But, if you look at the chart, it was a lot hotter during the 1930s than now.  And guess what, that was before the industrial revolution started adding all that CO2 to the air.

Of course you will never see this chart on CNN or NBC, or CBS, or ABC, or MSNBC, or FOX News.  Instead you will hear about all the record breaking temperatures as if Al Gore suddenly got it right.  But stay tuned.  The London Olympics are just around the corner and it is cold in London.  Like really cold.  If the weather forecasters are right, which is a big if, the Olympics will be known for cold, damp weather.  That is the way the world’s climate works.  It gets hot in one place and it gets colder in another.  That is real climate change.  It has been happening for as long as mankind walked on this planet.

Here’s a word to the wise:  the world has not been getting warmer, at least for the last decade.  If anything, it is cooling off a bit.  The Arctic Ice isn’t melting.  Did anyone watch Deadliest Catch this year?  Did you see the crab fleet trying to deal with all that imaginary ice?  The Antarctic Ice isn’t melting, either.  When someone really measured it, they found out the ice is actually increasing.  The simple truth is that 70% of our planet is water, and scientists don’t really know much about what is happening to our global climate.  They can’t even measure sea level.  In case you doubt that, please read the following article.  It is a sure cure for insomnia:

Oh!  They can measure what happened 10,000 years ago.  Measuring what is happening now?  Not so much. All these dire warnings are just speculation based on people with an agenda.  A huge percentage of the global warming hysteria is based on computer simulations that fail miserably when compared with real data.  That is why so many top scientists are backing off their previous global warming predictions.  They came, they saw and they realized they were wrong.  Now, if only we could get the main stream media to read the memo.

All that the current hot spell teaches us is that the most dangerous hot air comes from politicians, who will use any excuse to promote a political agenda.

It’s cool, man!
