Why Didn't I Think Of Global Warming??

I could have Al Gore's real estate portfolio now instead of looking for work and worried about my one piece of property. You know, the one I live in.

I could've scared the world, skewed scientific "data", made a scary movie......

Darn.

Personally, I think he and Kevin Trudeau should be locked in the villa alone for six weeks and see who comes out alive.....

Global Warming, Meet SNOW!

I can't help but chuckle.....

"Civil Disobedience" is promised by this group, at the coal plant outside D.C. tomorrow.

Only problem? It's SNOWING like cats and dogs in D.C. overnight tonight!

You've heard of "raining on a parade".......

God apparently gets a chuckle out of "snowing on global warming civil disobedience"...

This is GREAT!!

GLOBAL WARMING INVADES BEAUMONT, TEXAS!

The snow is here, for a short time
By AMY MOORE (Beaumont, Texas "Enterprise")
December, 11, 2008

From half an inch of snow in Jasper to three inches in west Beaumont, Southeast Texans woke up to a white Thursday.

But with the sun and the temperatures rising, Lance Escude with the National Weather Service said the snow won't stick around much longer.

"The temperatures at the airport are at 34, but I suspect with the sun breaking through the clouds, the temperatures will warm up to get the ice off the ground," the meteorologist said.

Estimates of snowfall at 7:30 a.m. were two inches at the Southeast Texas Regional Airport, Beaumont and Groves, and one inch in Nederland, Port Neches and Orange, Escude said.

This is the earliest measurable snowfall at the airport since the late 1800s, Escude said. It is also an all time record of snowfall for the area for the month of December.

The last significant snowfall in the area was Dec. 22, 1989 when just 7/10 of an inch fell.

Despite the record breaking snowfall amounts, Escude said the snow will be melting very soon.

"It will melt in the next hour or two," he said.

And don't think that more will come. Escude said the forecast doesn't call for precipitation again until Sunday.

Global Warming: The Frozen Kind

I've always regretted the fact that the one full winter I lived in New England, there was below average snow.

That cannot be said about this year.

So friends, in an effort to continue to bring ALL information about our climate to our consciousness, please click here for an in-depth look at snow totals for various portions of New England and an incredible photo from Watertown, New York, who has apparently had the (sad) experience of getting some 146 inches of snow in a two-week period.

I like snow, but as Mary Poppins said, "Enough is as good as a feast!"

Oh, and ask the people of Wisconsin about Global Warming Inevitablitiy. There's a link in the article to a story about their winter wonderland as well.

Talking out of both ends of the thermostat......

......bet you didn't know that unusually cold weather is ALSO caused by, of course, global warming.

Read this column from the Sunday Telegraph in Australia concerning record COLD temperatures throughout that nation last month. Enjoy the sarcasm, too. I did. :)

Then, look at the comments left by, first, Stephen Boone, then, by Jennifer Hor. I'm confused. Is cold weather meaningless? Was Katrina actually the first of a new set of "super-hurricanes"? Maybe it was so devastating because of man-made levees breaking down in New Orleans, and, because, it came so close to a major American city? Or, was Katrina among the biggest of all hurricanes, in terms of loss of life and damage, to have hit the U.S. mainland over the past 138 years, but cannot be called a "new shape of things to come", especially when 2006 followed 2005 with very little hurricane activity affecting the United States?

Or, is Jennifer right, that cold weather can also be proof of global warming?

Here's what I believe to be true:

--throughout its existence, the Earth has gone through climate changes, warming and cooling. These cycles last for centuries and are not a sudden onslaught.

--it's been warmer on this Earth than it is now, and the Earth continues.

--it's very presumptuous of humans to believe we have the power to destroy the planet because of factories, rush hour, and NASCAR.

--while at the same time realize the dinosaurs became extinct because of either a meteor strike or due to global climate changes even beyond their control (I don't think Joe Camel existed back then....)

--We humans actually have convinced ourselves that our behavior will cause such change to the planet that we will all die. No other creature has been successful in that "endeavor", so to speak; the Earth always wins.

--So, if global warming is true and the extinction of mankind is coming, at some point, let it be said it's been centuries in the making, as opposed to the "Smokestack Age".

I do find it ironic that global "warming" is considered the biggest threat ever to our survival; yet, as a believer in Christ, I already know that this Earth will one day be destroyed and we will celebrate eternal life with Christ on, as the Bible says, "the Earth made new".

Hell, on the other hand, isn't for ice cubes. Is that the ultimate, ironic climax of this historic, final bout with "global warming"?

AND FINALLY----my number one reason for this post:

If warming proves global warming and cooling proves global warming, then what's left to use as evidence for the "Ice Age"? Amana? GE?

In other words, how convenient that now extreme global warming advocates (of the idea, not the event) are using any climate change to prove their point.

It's hard to be debated when you claim all sides and all proof in an argument to be in your possession, proving your point. Sounds like a continuation of the "shut up" movement worldwide where scientists who have the evidence that we're being fed a line of bull are basically blackballed.

And now, if you'll excuse me; I need to check my thermostat. I'm not sweating at this moment, but if I keep exhaling carbon dioxide at my rate, I may get hot anytime now.
