What? There's Global Cooling Now?
Vocal Minority ^ | 7/5/11 | EricTheRed

You just can't make this stuff up.

First, the (sort of) good news: A new climate study seems to show that "anthropogenic global warming" (or whatever the %&*# you want to call it) had in fact peaked in 1998. Yes, I know, that's a huge admission, right? What happened to all that cooked-book drivel about the hottest years on record being in the 2000's?

But now for the bad news: The reason AGW has stopped is ... pollution. That's right. Sulphur pollution from Asia's burgeoning economies is having a cooling effect on the planet, canceling out the warming effect allegedly caused by Western pollution.

Get it? The earth is warming? Pollution! The earth is cooling? Pollution! It's a Marxist misanthrope's dream come true.

It's amazing. It's like the climate of the planet never #&^*ing changed until the first smokestack was invented!

Sooo; burning fossil fuels has “saved” us?

The head explodes thinking of all the contradictions here.

But whatever it is; the solution will involve more government regulation and taxing us more.

Recycling.

It works for trash.

It works for lib greenie causes.

If at first you don’t succeed, just restart the cause every 20-40 years.

But, it still remains: garbage in, garbage out.

Wish we’d get some of that cooling here in Texas.

Therefore... we MUST POLLUTE THE PLANET TO SAVE IT?

Wait, I don’t like that idea either. Just damn. Now I’m all confused.

Look at recent volcanic activity in Chile that has disrupted air travel in Australia and the Icelandic volcano with the unpronounceable name that did so last summer in Europe. Historically we know large volcanoes cause global climate disruption. The Krakatoa blast in the 19th century produced what was dubbed "the year without a summer" and more recently the Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines also caused significant global cooling.

What is interesting is that even when a volcanic event is large enough to cause this global climate change, the global climate doesn't reach any tipping point. Krakatoa for example while it significantly lowered global temperatures for more than a year, did not precipitate a mini ice age. This is why I find it less than credible to believe the Al Gore dogma that insinuates that minute changes (almost on a molecular level) in CO2 levels spell climatic disaster. If the Al Gore dogma were true a single volcanic eruption would produce these climate changes and have long since pushed the globe into either Hades like temperatures or another ice age.

You need to put a "the earth is cooling" in front of the first "the earth is warming", as we started this farce in the 70's with the "new ice age" hysteria.

Been there, seen that --- make it stop, please.

Supposed to be up near 90 here today. You’d think it was July or something.

Let’s just do an experiment and have liberals voluntarily stop reproducing, just to see what the effects are on the climate.

The current global cooling is only hiding the real underlying global warming going on!!

I seem to remember a NASA project that would look for advanced civilizations on planets around remote star systems.

They would look for the optical signature of an advanced cililization:

1. Nuclear contamination of the atmosphere

2. Atmospheric pollution.

Scientists (a pretty non exclusive club) say that the Average Global Temp could go up 2 degrees in 100 years.

So... basically the AVERAGE is barely changing. The Weather patterns, and the so called ‘climate’ have changed. They aren’t nailed to the ground, and they get moved by the Jetstream.

If it’s colder where you live, on average, then it is very likely that somewhere else, someone is griping about it being too warm.

The ONE THING that is of ultimate importance, is the one thing that Scientists aren’t discussing, in relation to the Average Global Ground Temperature. That is the Earth’s Magnetic Field. If it weakens enough, we will get GLOBAL GRILLING.

Clouds come from moisture, and shade(cool) the surface of the Earth. The moisture, so they say, forms around small dirt particles.

We need to put more dirt in the air.

That depends on what you mean by pollute. The word is used incorrectly by the EPA, GW scientists, the government, and liberals.

CO2 is not a pollutant. Ever since the Earth became a fertile planet with a trapped atmosphere, CO2 has been part of it. It is part of the life cycle of humans and plants.

Some think 'dust' or 'dirt' a pollutant, but it has been 'in the air' about as long as CO2 has.

The Earth has had to deal with massive injections of CO2 and other hazardous gases from volcanoes, way beyond the capability of man to generate. Earth has 'abided' for a very, very, long time.

It’s Global Moderation folks. The earth warms, the earth cools, the earth warms, the earth cools... and it’s not the earth trying to adjust... it’s based on the Sun. The big yellow thing in the sky, which also goes through periods of sunspots and solar flares etc over decades. Which is why the same things happen on mars.

But it’s a secret, so don’t tell Obama and the other dullards, or they’ll find some new way to tax us all.
