Great news. This means that when I’m riding my two-cycle jetski and filling the atmosphere with Earth Warming Greenhouse Gases, I’m simply doing my part to stave off the coming Ice Age.

Fire up those ATVs, Waverunners and Escalades people.

Our planet needs you.

How long will it take for the Gore-Istas to claim that a colder planet is the result of Global Warming?

This reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode, The Midnight Sun
The Earth has left its orbit and is now heading towards the sun. An artist, Norma, and her landlady, Mrs. Bronson, are the last people in their building, the rest having moved north where it is cooler, (or, presumably, died from the heat). They try to keep each other company as electricity is rationed and food and water are scrounged for, but the landlady collapses and dies. The thermometer creeps past 140 degrees, and shatters. As her oil paintings melt from the heat, Norma screams and also collapses.

The scene cuts to the apartment at night. In the darkness outside, it's snowing. Norma is bedridden with a high fever, and attended by Mrs. Bronson and a doctor. She was actually only dreaming that the Earth was moving towards the sun.

In reality, the Earth is moving away from the Sun, which will eventually cause everything to freeze over.

DUMB QUESTIONS HERE:

Since the sun is constantly burning, does it ever get smaller, and use up its fuel?

And how does it burn in space where there is no oxygen?

How can a star burn with no oxygen?
Can a fire burn in a room with no oxygen?

A fire cannot burn without oxygen. You can show this for yourself, in fact: if you light a small candle and then put a clear glass upside-down over that candle (without touching the flame), you can watch the flame slowly extinguish as it uses up all of the oxygen that you have trapped around it with the glass.

What if in that same room, with no oxygen, is it possible for a hydrogen reaction fire to start, like the sun?

The way the Sun “burns” fuel is completely different from the way a fire on Earth burns (the term “burning” is a bit misleading when used to talk about stars). The Sun gets its energy by smashing small light elements together to make heavier elements; most of a star’s life is spent smashing hydrogen atoms together to make helium. The burning that a star does, then, is a nuclear reaction, and not a chemical one like the fires on Earth (when a candle burns, the atoms themselves remain unchanged: just the molecules are affected).

If not, how did the sun start to burn without oxygen?

So, the Sun can “burn” hydrogen to helium without the need for oxygen. It should be noted that in the presence of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, stars heavier than the Sun may burn hydrogen to helium by using the C, N and O as catalysts. Even in these stars, however, an absence of oxygen does not prevent nuclear burning.

Is it true that the Sun burns off a billion tons of gas every 5 seconds?
I heard an incredible claim that the Sun burns off a billion tons of gas every 5 seconds. Is this true?

It is true that the Sun burns several hundred million tons of hydrogen per second, converting it to helium by nuclear fusion. This the source of the Sun’s energy, and if the Sun were consuming gas at less than this rate, then we would not get the required warmth to support life. However, there is no cause of alarm, because there is a HUGE amount of hydrogen in the Sun. The total mass of the sun is 2 x 1033 grams, out of which a small fraction of it is be used for nuclear reactions. If you calculate the age of the Sun based on the amount of gas consumed per second, you will find that the Sun can live for about 10 billion years.

One thing alone stands against the Greens. The science does not support them. Their sense of moral superiority, their contempt for all things modern, their resistance to all forms of energy except the weakest -- wind and solar, and at the very heart of the Greens' message is a contempt and hatred for the human race.

There is not one scientist now, nor has there ever been, who knows more about the climate than Algore. Algore says the planet is warming and even made a movie about it. That’s all any of us need to know. Seriously, what have these “so-called” scientists done? Science? Experiments? Studied the data? Formed hypotheses and tested? Like any of that compares to Algore’s conclusions. If only Algore had become the president. We might have had a chance to save ourselves from global warming. Now it's too late and we're all going to die.

There are globalist warmbots who would argue that the sun can’t possibly be responsible for the earth’s changing climate. I heard an expert on one of the new age doom shows tell Linda Molting Howe that the sun can go through dramatic changes without effecting us one degree or the other. Of course, not being the brightest bulb in the room, the first thing that ran through my mind was the whole winter and summer thing, and how stupid I was to think the sun has something to do with it. So, the record cold temperatures we had in 2007 and for this year must be because Gore is selling his carbon footprints.

The entire global warming estimated since 1980 due to AGW has been 0.6C ... in a single year, thse past 12 months, the earth has cooled by 0.6C.

This corresponding change is so sudden that it is clearly not tied to any CO2 changes but to other effects. The sun-spot link tells us that solar activity is the real driver here.

Why don't they start jumping off a cliff like Lemmings since they hate the human race so much. Yup they can start with themselves..

On March 2-4, several hundred will convene in New York for the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change to offer papers and serve on panels disputing and debunking the global warming hoax.

Hmm... I’ll have to look into this conference... I wish I’d noticed something about it earlier.
