We awoke to negative temperatures or the third consecutive day. (Location: Tioga Co. in north-central PA. Elevation: 2100 feet.) Sunday was –1 degree F, Monday it was –5 degrees and today it was –2 degrees. All temperatures were recorded at approximately 7 AM EST. And this was just days after PU Phil (I believe I’ll use that name for its ease of spelling and to indicate my feelings as to the immediate accuracy of his predictions) said spring would come early and just days after the UN released its own report via the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which screamed about Global Warming.
From the Rockies to the Atlantic, the northern third of the US (and adjacent Canada) has been frozen (and by that I mean below zero degrees F, not below 32 degrees F which would be kinda warm and welcome!) for a week. That’s why when I saw this: "Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide" over posted by Ace at PoliPundit I had to click on the link to read:
Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts?
By Timothy Ball
Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening. Here is why.

Having a BS and MS in Environmental Science, I’ve always been skeptical of the “consensus” proclaimers. That is NOT how science works. Some have compared those espousing global warming to Chicken Little. I don’t. Chicken Little believed he was doing the right thing.
Many of the enviro-wackos beating the global warming drum are more akin to the Boy Who Cried Wolf. He just wanted attention. They just want $$$. He just wanted to create chaos in the community so he could laugh as the elders got taken in by his act. They just want to create chaos in the world so they can have their 15 minutes of fame.
Of course, like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, once the world catches on, they will be totally discredited and anything they say in the future will be suspect or discarded. The problem with that scenario is that the mainstream media has supported the claim of “consensus” among the scientific community when none truly exists. When the skeptical public starts doubting everything the scientific community proposes…. Well, the wolf may well be howling at the door the next time.

What if they are lying to us? What if we take action and reduce CO2 output and other pollutants and find out that it had no effect on global weather? At least the air will be cleaner.
Unlike the last time the general population was lied to (ahem Iraq). In which the marginalized critics where right and we get stuck in a situation that does nothing but aggravate the Islamofasist situation.
So what if the general population is being lied to? (we should be used to it by now) At least this time people won’t die needlessly.
Ah, but if they are lying to us and we cripple our economy for that lie....
You do know that the two countries with largest populations, growing economies, and the worst CO2 emissions were exempted by the Kyoto protocol, and that the EU has failed to meet its goals while the US, despite not being a signatory has decreased its CO2 emissions, right?
Crippling our economy would have little or no effect on CO2 emissions world wide. Besides the IPCC report basically said there was nothing we could do to reverse the current trend as they saw it.
The earth has went hroughwarming and cooling cycles forever..no doubt the earth is a degree warmer than a century a go but still cooler than 2000 years ago..it is politics and left wing politics at that.
