Beam me to Planet Gore !

Our politicians haven't noticed that the problem may be that the world is not warming but cooling, observes Christopher Booker.
In Manitoba last week, it was -4ºC. North Dakota had its first June snow for 60 years.
a veteran US grain expert said last week: "In 43 years I've never seen anything like the decline (crop yield) we're looking at in South America."

"It is now more than 200 years since the great astronomer William Herschel observed a correlation between wheat prices and sunspots. When the latter were few in number, he noted, the climate turned colder and drier, crop yields fell and wheat prices rose. In the past two years, sunspot activity has dropped to its lowest point for a century. One of our biggest worries is that our politicians are so fixated on the idea that CO2 is causing global warming that most of them haven't noticed that the problem may be that the world is not warming but cooling, with all the implications that has for whether we get enough to eat."
10 years of cooling and the media and global warming ‘scientists’ are still in denial. By every computer model, global warming was suppose to have been accellerating, but instead the earth had other plans. None of the computer models predicted this could happen.
So we take a lesson from the little ice age and shift to more cold resistant crops.
Boy, that Al Gore sure knows how to get things done.
And just like the idiot sports forecasters who blame the Podunk U. "upset" of Notre Dame on a "lackluster" effort by ND, and a "overwhelming" effort by PU, they just don't get that they need a better model.
This “Global Warming” nonsense has been debunked for years, but the press continues to tell the Big Lie about it and other things.
That is exactly how we came to have OBOZO sleeping in the White House.

The recent weather shift due to Solar radiation change is real and it does have the affect the author stated. I knew that it had been established for 100 years, but I did not know that the observation was 200 years old.
This is a real observation. This years wheat crop in mid-Texas was in some areas off “normal” by 60-70% due to drougth. This year had the lowest rainfall since 1952.
Oklahoma is reporting 40% crop failure in part of the state due to late freeze.
My family farms and produces planting seed here in Texas. We had a total crop failure. Seed at least regionally will be short this season.
It might be a good time to utilize our food production for food instead of using it as a feedstock for expensive and inefficient fuels.

Should I buy a new Suburban from Obama Motors? I want to do my part to prevent cooling. After all climate change is an AC-DC project and it can swing both ways.

Lol! I think most people will FIRMLY reject any “cars” that come form an entity run by the government.
It is not simply temperature, crops will not grow without rain and irrigation cost are still very high where the ground water is available.
First half of June was the coldest on record for Chicago per the story below.
We were alway a GM family as I was growing up. I have owned many, but will never ever own another.
This is the kiss of death for both GM and Chrysler.
They will not be about building a better car, but about taking care of the UAW at the expense of the public.
Within 1 years it will be apparent how bad this trainwreck really is.
6-9 months from now, with 12%+ unemployment, higher gasoline prices, higher food prices, and much higher taxes, You tell me what will happen.
Not surprised at all, fits the pattern.
There are Lies and then there are the "Big Lies" like Global Warming.
Not good- we saw what happened when limousine liberals and Washington beaurocrats pushed the ethanol idea- the supply of food corn and feed corn shrank causing corn, meat and dairy prices to rise. Violence and unrest suddenly cropped up around the world.
A food shortage is perhaps the quickest way for brutal wars and revolutions (the bad kind) to break out.
temperatures 7, 10 degrees F below normal thru out most of North America except for the deep south is very worry some. As a long time skeptic of Man Made Global Warming I have investigated climatic change for some time and in conciderable detail. It is my understanding that the Earth quickly goes from cold to warm, or warm to cold. The process can happen in as little as 10 years. While I expect temperatures to rebound this summer, I will be watching fall temperatures very closely. Another cold fall and brutal winter and I think we might be in for real climate change. And I don’t think we are going to like it.
So we stop trying to grow cold weather crops in the desert and return to growing them where they grew 100 years ago. The upper midwest used to be a major non grain food production area before breeding varieties that would grow in the desert closer to cheap labor. If anything its getting wetter here.
We can grow just about any root crop you can think of as well as things like cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cherries, apples, etc etc etc.
Climate change is not uniform and there won’t be a perfect ring of tundra extending to northern Ohio or anything like that. The Europeans found that out when they came from Europe and found it to be much colder at the same latitudes as europe.
I learned many years ago while living in NM that much of the focus of government funded “Science” is about “Funding” more than it is about Science.
Many of my Ham friends worked at the Labs, these were engineers not politicians, and they were very technically sharp.
They only want technicians and engineers when they have a problem. These guys live in the real world. It is their job to take an idea and make it work.
That is what we need now. Throw the sceaming POLs out on their A$$ and put turn this over to people who know how to DO things not talk about “forcing” others to do things that no one wants anyway.
