The warmies missed the headline on Yahoo a couple days ago that China is reporting its coldest winter in over a century.

Global Warming Today: Kerry Goes Stupid. Now With More Sun!…

Why is it that everytime there is some sort of disaster, a Democrat has to run out and show his/her sheer climahysteria?
Politicians using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a tried-and-true strategy. Paint the idea green and a natural catastrophe b…

Personally, my favorite apocolypse involves us crossing the galactic center and being bombarded by primordeal comets and meteors. We’re just about there. Now that it appears the Clovis people were wiped out by impact or impacts, space apocolypse seems to be a lot more common than once thought. Supervolcanoes aren’t bad either.

You can keep your unspectacular temperature changes.

Just saw a great show about comets and asteroids..one that hit Tunguska (Russia) in 1908 and was 1,000 times more powerful than Hiroshima and obliterated 80 million trees in a 830 square mile area. Bad day for tree huggers. Maybe if one of the local tribesmen had stopped their cows from farting then the asteroid wouldn’t have been sucked into the earth’s atmosphere?? Hmmm.

When global cooling begins, will the industrialized nations of the earth be able to charge a fee to the other nations for ramping up their production of carbon and other greenhouse gases in order to turn up the global thermostat?

It's just been announced. John McCain has chosen Bui Tin as his running mate. Seems like an obvious choice to me.

Some scientists who watch the Sun, also known as that big glowy thing that delivers all of the earth’s warmth, are worried that it might enter a cooling phase.

*Shakes head, mumbles something inappropriate.*

Everytime I hear people on t.v. say what we need to do to stop global warming, I always say out loud: “Great, now what are we going to do about the sun?”

AL GORE LIED! LET IT SLIDE!

So this global cooling thing will lead to cooler summers?

Great. Sign me up. We could use some cooler summers here.

AZCoyote on February 8, 2008 at 2:42 PM

No, No, You don’t get it. Global warming causes hurricanes, flooding, massive snow storms and the like. Global cooling will likely cause a 20 year drought. Not sure, I will have to check with the Algore.

What pisses me off is the lie that “warming” is catastrophic. Look up …little climatic optimal… a period between 800 ad and 1250 ad approx. It got warm, as warm as the pants pissers are predicting. The oceans rose, up to 20 inches ,slowly, over several centuries. The tree line was 60 miles further north than today. The warming northern hemisphere no longer had such violent winds because of the lack of extreme temperature differences in air masses when they collided. Shorter winters and longer summers caused longer growing seasons which caused crop abundance and people humped with greater success for the offsprings survival, causing a population boom. People were getting wealthy in greater numbers. Heath conditions were such that an Englishman in 1250 was ,on average, 6 inches taller than the Englishman of 1900. Wealth evidenced itself in the construction of the great Cathedrals of Europe, built out of religious zeal coupled with surplus wealth.

France banned the import of English and Scottish wine. The Vikings exploded out of Scandinavia in open boats on seas free of violent storms that are known today. The Vikings settled Greenland because it was indeed green then and raised crops and animals for centuries until the mini ice age put an end to easy sea travel in open boats and crops growing that far north.

Warming is to be cheered but the lying ba$tards of the world have made it something to fear.

My take is that we are forgetting humility. We don’t know how much we don’t know about our universe, and the incredibly complex climactic cycle is only the beginning. Of course, maybe I only emphasize humility because it’s a virtue highlighted in my Christian faith, and there are many beautiful passages in Psalms, etc. about God’s control and influence upon the world. Whether we believe there is a God who is watching over us or not, it appears to me that the climate change crowd is pretty arrogant to imagine they can understand, let alone make a meaningful impact, on global temperatures.

Or, we could stop suffering from collective delusions of grandeur and realize that nature outsizes us in ways we don’t yet comprehend.

I’m John McCain. AND I DO NOT APPROVE THIS MESSAGE. I know way frakking more than anyone in the room about this and everything else! Now excuse me while I set out to polish my conservative credentials.

That reminds me, I just saw a dopey trailer for a straight to DVD movie where a team of heroes (in mold of The Core, Armegeddon), have to fly a spaceship to “re-ignite” the sun, because it had cooled too much.

High comedy, no doubt.

John – I’d advise calming down on this issue. God has it under control.

Let’s not forget that Liberals move effortlessly from one environmental scam to another. Global Cooling in the 70′s to the overpopulation scare, to acid rain, to global warming.

At no point do they hold themselves accountable for being morons.

Hell the state of Vermont is still trying to steal money from Ohion because of the smoke from Ohio factories drifting to Vermont and killing their trees. Hah! The real issue there is a socialist state (aka Vermont) running out of money because they chase out business fasters than Hillary scares men off marriage.

“It’s tough to grow corn in an ice age”

Hmmmmm … so logically we should endeavour to increase our CO2 output to retain as much heat as possible. Taking CO2 up to 6000 ppm ought to do it.

But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet.

My God, what have we done to cause this?

STOP SOLAR COOLING NOW!!

The Sun is lazy and lacks “fire in the belly”.
