There is a book titled MELTDOWN and the author was on TV yesterday and he mentioned the year 1932 when it was so hot, broke all records. I think I will order his book. He says the climate is heating, in 50 years it will be 3/4 of a degree warmer than now, but that is no big deal. Earth has heated up and cooled down many times before. Author's named is Patrick J. Michaels. He said that the people who are crying Global Warming Gloom and Doom are exaggerating to get attention and money.
Meltdown : The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media
The sub-title of Meltdown reads "the Predictable Distortion of global Warming by Scientists, Politicians and the Media" and in this he admirably succeeds in documenting and proving. The book is a compendium of headlines and stories found in the media mentioned as well as in a number of scientific journals, mainly Science and Nature. He also addresses some of the more outlandish stories, press releases, and declarations by organizations such as Greenpeace and the World Wild Life federation. Dr. Michaels provide chapter and verse, 12 of them, documenting the egregious errors and in some case patently false information foisted on the public at large by all of these organizations. That said the main stream media comes in for the most criticism.
Interesting. It's also worth noting that the summer of 2004 was one of the coolest and wettest on record in the northeastern U.S. A similar weather anomaly in the Atlantic Ocean resulted in an extended period of time where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream current did not reach as far into the North Atlantic as they normally do, causing an unusually cool weather pattern to dominate the Mid-Atlantic states.

And the reason Was !!!!
I was born 19 Jan 32
Gerritsen Beach {Brooklyn Ny}
I call the phenomenon of Global Warming: "Goebbels Warming" as a tribute to the ability of the environmental wackos to take propaganda to a new level.
Read later.
I saw that author on Brit Hume's FOX show yesterday. What I caught of the interview sounded very interesting. His conclusion about the inviro-left's fervor for this subject was that "they" are hyping the story for research money. I'd like to read his book too.
2004 was the year without a summer here.
We only had 2 days above 100 degrees.
Most of the summer was 70-80 degrees.
In the 1300's they had a year without a summer.
SO WHAT?????????????
Way off base, not climate. Actually is was widespread use of tobacco in the early 1800's, (Recall New Madrid Fault), which destroyed the nation and we are all just figments now. Ahem
Talk about yer smokin bans.
Up there, "summer" means temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. Last year, it probably only reached 80 degrees four or five days . . . and the first frost of "autumn" came in early August.

Also note Michael Crichton's latest book, "State of Fear", fiction casting the envirowackos as the bad guys (for a change) and packed with data that debunks global warming.
Of course the lefties like the NYT are giving it bad reviews and boo-hooing that he would use his books to "push a right-wing agenda", bwahahahaha!
