SUPPOSE the climate landscape in recent weeks looked something like this:
Half the country was experiencing its mildest winter in years, with no sign of snow in many Northern states. Most of the Great Lakes were ice-free. Not a single Canadian province had had a white Christmas. There was a new study discussing a mysterious surge in global temperatures - a warming trend more intense than computer models had predicted. Other scientists admitted that, because of a bug in satellite sensors, they had been vastly overestimating the extent of Arctic sea ice.
If all that were happening on the climate-change front, do you think you'd be hearing about it on the news? Seeing it on Page 1 of your daily paper? Would politicians be exclaiming that global warming was even more of a crisis than they'd thought? Would environmentalists be skewering global-warming "deniers" for clinging to their skepticism despite the growing case against it?
No doubt.
But it isn't such hints of a planetary warming trend that have been piling up in profusion lately. Just the opposite.
The United States has shivered through an unusually severe winter, with snow falling in such unlikely destinations as New Orleans, Las Vegas, Alabama, and Georgia. On Dec. 25, every Canadian province woke up to a white Christmas, something that hadn't happened in 37 years. Earlier this year, Europe was gripped by such a killing cold wave that trains were shut down in the French Riviera and chimpanzees in the Rome Zoo had to be plied with hot tea. Last week, satellite data showed three of the Great Lakes - Erie, Superior, and Huron - almost completely frozen over. In Washington, D.C., what was supposed to be a massive rally against global warming was upstaged by the heaviest snowfall of the season, which paralyzed...

I have a few words to describe what he’s the product and saying he’s of the elite Washington D.C. liberal culture is saying something nice that can be said in mixed company.
Algore as Waldo. I love it.
Where’s Global Waldo?
Why don’t we at FR just call it Global Waldo?
Proves AGW is not a scientific issue, but rather a political one, when they talk of carbon tax, and cap and trade policies....and recently Hildabeast talking that Bush did nothing to help steal more money...oh no, about global warming.
It's the Creator saying "don't get cocky, you humans with influence, for you think you have more than you do".
It’s snowing in Edmonds, WA right now (that’s about 10 miles north of Seattle, right on Puget Sound). And snow is expected for the next 3 days as well...
Yup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEOPLE, I'M SERIAL!
I’ve heard these leftist liars say “the earth has a fever.” If CO2 is rapidly accumulating and causing the rise in global temperatures, then every year the world should be getting warmer, right? Their only response to that is something like “you just don’t understand the complex processes in global warming that is actually causing the cooling.”
Leftists are truly insane on this issue. They are allergic to logic and truth.
In Washington, D.C., what was supposed to be a massive rally against global warming was upstaged by the heaviest snowfall of the season,
LOL! Bet it didn’t change one mind there.
Well if it were 100% of the atmosphere we would certainly be in trouble.
As it is, it is measured in hundreds of parts per million, and I'm rather skeptical of our ability to raise it even one order of magnitude if we tried...the ocean and plant life would be working against us, and they are much more powerful than we are in such respects.
As for the effects of increasing it to the extent we are, they are significant...more food for all, and a better chance to support a broad ecosystem and save endangered species...all of which is clear from science, but heard of very seldom in the Drive by Media world.
CO2 levels follow warming because oceans emit CO2 as the warm and absorb it as they cool. The lag time is between 500 and 800 years.
Google "greenhouse gases " and water.
You have that right! Fat Ted, Treasonous John, Muddlehead Markey, Coockoo Collins and Simple Snowe are prime examples!
Next time, tell him or her that you've got plenty of time, and you'd like him or her to explain it to you.
They won't, because they can't.
