Earth’s temperatures subject to higher powers Economy-crippling boondoggles do nothing

Pretending to be green is expensive. Californians have set the pace for adopting the trendy lifestyle choice but recently have cried out for relief when confronted with the true cost of saving the planet from “global warming.” As new evidence emerges about extraterrestrial forces that shape Earth’s climate, Americans from coast to coast may come to a similar realization of the futility of trying to bring down temperatures before their bank balances dry up.

Golden State residents bear some of the nation’s highest energy prices, and for a simple reason. Sacramento bureaucrats force refiners to produce gasoline according to a special California-specific recipe that enables the left-coasters to claim they’re far greener than their neighbors. When a fire took out a key oil refinery, supply dried up and prices soared to near $6 a gallon because other states couldn’t ship their surplus petrol to meet the rising demand. Public anger forced Gov. Jerry Brown to relent and allow remaining California refineries to make an early switch from boutique summer blends to an easier-to-produce winter mix. As a result, the fuel supply has eased and pump prices have peaked, though they still average around $4.57 a gallon — a full dollar more than Texans pay.

Mr. Brown hasn’t relented from blaming mankind for purported global warming, but researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego suggest there may be causes beyond human control. Their study of ice core samples from Antarctica indicate a cyclical pattern of global temperature swings.

Those who think man can impact the earth have to be atheists.

Our God made earth to his own plans, not theirs.

If we can't even tell how if or much the Earth is warming up, and if we can't tell how much of that, if any, is due to human activity, how can anything we do make any meaningful difference?
If we can't even measure it, how can we tell if the remedy is working or not?
All we know is it's very expensive.

What did Bush know and when did he know it?

Primarily, atheists, ignorant of SCIENCE!

They are the “man=bad, dirt=good”, population control crowd.

Whether they admit it or not, ultimately, they are eugenicists, wanting to prevent the third world from consuming more energy, in their quest to grow out of their plight.

Report: Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago

The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.

The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.

This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.
