Greenland Glaciers

One fact used by climate hysterics to panic the masses is that Greenland glaciers are melting ... and this melt water will swamp low-lying areas around the world. Well, what we haven’t heard is that this Greenland warming AND cooling is cyclical over a five to twenty year period ... AND Greenland glaciers are growing again ... see: The New American Article.

You see Chicken Little, climate change is a little more complicated than  the alarmists like to tell you. So you can rest easy for the next five to twenty years ... at which point Al Gore may have changed his tune to global cooling (caused bu man-made CO2?)

Good News!

The news today is chock-a-block full of apocalyptic forecasts for the world. So when I find a story that points out some good news, I savor a few minutes of angst relief. Such it was when I saw this article from Watts Up With That ... which displays six charts that show how good some things really are becoming ... countering all the doom and gloomers who elbow their way into our daily dose of fake news.

One chart that I particularly enjoyed is offered above. It shows the down trends in American deaths from major weather events ... countering the climate-change alarmist meme that says just the opposite.

Take a little time enjoying these Watt's charts and then sleep a little better tonight.

Polar Bear Poop

The expected first freeze date (established over hundreds of years) for my home town here in Massachusetts is October 15th. I just looked on the Accuweather site and, guess what, tonight's low temperature is forecast at 29 degrees ... bulls eye! Also the Farmer's Almanac as well as more reliable forecasts predict that we are in store for a rather harsh winter ... nertz!

Now, I realize that one data point of weather is not the "climate" and we deniers cannot conflate the two. But the alarmists don't seem to have such compunctions ... suddenly our country's first glancing hurricane in ten years, Matthew, is proof that Al Gore is right with his cockamamie "science." So I will suggest once again that the alarmist are full of polar bear poop ... and I, personally, am more concerned with global cooling than with global warming.

Oops, global cooling is also a change in our climate ... so alarmists have it either way! I suppose next they will point to the fact that dry ice is made with carbon dioxide ...

Idaho Alaska

That is the answer ... what is the question? If Miss Issippi lent Miss Ouri her New Jersey, what would Dela Ware? Why is this pertinent? Because President Obama is using a trip to Alaska today to once more pitch his global warming hokum to the uninformed ... see: AP News Story ... and Della would then not need her New Jersey. I suspect that The Barry's advance team is now searching the coast off of this state for some poor polar bear stuck on a melting ice floe ... in order to get a money shot to put on the front pages of American newspapers. After all ... isn't the kind of pictorial misinformation that the majority of global-warming alarmists use to justify their hysteria?

But now for the rest of the story ... if you are even a bit interested. It seems that three German scientists have determined that the small global warming blip at the end of the last century was within normal limits, but, more importantly, that the world is now entering a sixty-year cooling period. If you, dear reader, are willing to listen to these scientists (who must not be part of the 97% of those scientists who claim we are doomed), then read John Hinderaker's posting on the Powerline blog ... see: Nothing Unusual.

If an extended cooling period is indeed what is in store for the world, then President Obama's arm-waving CO2 killing initiatives are likely to make matters worse. Wouldn't that be a unique legacy for our current monarch? (Of course, the Kool-Aid drinkers will claim that we got cooler because of Obama's economy-crippling efforts ...)

And for a bit of sweet, sweet irony, President Obama is likely to be met with some rare summer snow in Alaska today ... now wouldn't that be special ... see: Dr. Roy Spencer Item.

Cooling Our Heels

The above picture is worth a thousand words … so it is with the global-warming alarmists … now averting their eyes from such evidence showing that the Arctic ice sheet is currently exhibiting record growth and not shrinking as per their predictions and actual previous events … see: UK Daily Mail Story.  Despite higher levels of CO2 in the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, the ice sheets in the Antarctic have been paradoxically growing.  Now the Arctic ice in the Northern Hemisphere is following suit … to Al Gore’s climate chagrin.

To me, another pseudo-scientist, the linkage between increased CO2 levels and global warming is now fully knocked into a cocked hat.  That is, of course, until such time as these climate-change wackoes claim that increased CO2 levels are causing these ice sheets to grow.  Stay tuned.
