Mark Steyn: What planet are the eco-cultists on?

Who in their right minds would want the world to be

colder !?

It`s not about hot or cold , it`s about a means to an end.

Neo-marxist politics disguised as science.

"Do as we say or the world will end."

Yeah right.

I can't answer that question, but the search can be cut in half if you start looking on the left side of it.

"Or, as the Canadian Press reported: "Montreal - tens of thousands of people ignored frigid temperatures Saturday to lead a worldwide day of protest against global warming."

Holy Ice Age Batman, any more global warming and we'll all freeze to death..

Between blogging and keeping up with the output of the prolific Mr Steyn, I'm afraid my blogging is suffering.

[Mr. Mojo]

But the point is, as Steven Guilbeault of Greenpeace puts it: "Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that's what we're dealing with." Got that? If it's hot, that's a sign of global warming, and, if it's cold, that's a sign of global warming.

lol.....the insanity of the eco-loons on full display.

Steyn is the greatest.

Kyoto is dying on the vine, look for a resurrection of the coming ice age or some other nonsense to justify grants for tenured retard communist doctorate's.

[Ninian Dryhope]

I sure do love to read Mark Steyn.

Some ont recently told me we have to save the permafrost. I wondered out loud, "Why?" Wouldnt it be nice to have more trees?

You arent the only one bud.

My liberal friends wallow in ignorance. Here's the question: Do I share these facts with them in order to enlighten them, and perhaps convert them, or is that a wan hope since they love their ignorance, which is compatible with their hallucinogenic worldview? Alas, I fear, the latter. So I probably won't bother.

So, let me see if I got this straight. Anywhere in the world where weather occurs is caused by global warming, is that it?

Exactly!

[mylife]

Ya think the eco nuts will ever figure out that all the previous ice ages and tropical periods came about without human intervention?

I think libs honestly have a God complex, they think that everything is a direct result of human action.

When the ice age or tropical warming does occur, I know I'll have heat and AC.

Pokey...Steyn ping!

Eco-kook portable shelter for upcoming ice age caused by global warming.......

[GOP_1900AD]

As of the early to mid 1980s, the junk science believers thought we'd be seeing major climate changes indicating "severe Global Warming" by the mid to late 1990s. Didn't happen. Almost 10 years after that, still hasn't happened. If anything, the perfectly normal slow cooling that will inevitably move us from the current interglacial back into full continental ice mode may be knocking on the door. And nothing man has ever done, or could realistically do any time soon, can change that.

[GOP_1900AD]

More accurately, we are within an interglacial period within an overall ice age. At some point, the ice will return. And "global warming" or "CO2 levels" have nothing to do with it. Continental configuration, solar output and axis wobble are thought to be the main drivers. We are only dust in the wind.

A good article and a promising-looking blog.

Yes, but if it doesn't occur...

...global warming...

That about sums it up. One of Europe's attempts to hamstring the US foiled. Notice how they can't even meet the terms of the treaty? They had no intention of honoring it.
