This is very interesting, for me.
On our Canadian sister site, a member who is connected with meteorology and who has been fighting this climate change stuff for nearly 20 years ( and getting a lot of grief for it ) has mentioned that in professional circles there is a lot of dissent, growing stronger every day, to the whole “man-made global warming” meme. Or “climate change,” whatever the shibboleth de jour is...
He says it is flying below the radar of the press- because they are firmly on one side, only— but that it is about to break out, big time, into the public sphere.
Stay tuned, it is going to get “interesting...”

It can’t happen soon enough.
The amount of Kool-Aide slurping on this issue is incredible.

The sooner the better. Even with all the economic upheaval, Australia is still at risk of being lumbered with and emission trading scheme.

As if facts matter.
From Obama to Pelosi to Hansen, the Church of Man Made Climate Change allows no dissent.

More than 20 years ago I was acquainted with a grad student who was also employed by Boston University in its climatology department. He guffawed about “global warming” and said it was fundamentally a big scam to get research grants.

“it was fundamentally a big scam to get research grants.”
That has been my contention from the beginning.
There is no grant money for any subject that says
everything is normal, but come up with a contrarian
view, then the money flows like honey.
After that, the politicians grab on to it as a way to tax and control.
Soon it becomes the mother of all snowballing scams,
making even a moron like Albert Goreon an billionaire.

In other news, headline AP:
Deadly Storm Coats Nation With Ice, Snow
(Jan. 28) - Well over a million people shivered in ice-bound homes across the country Wednesday, waiting for warmer weather and for utility crews to restring power lines brought down by a storm that killed 23 as it took a snowy, icy journey from the Southern Plains to the East Coast. But with temperatures plunging, utility officials warned that it could be mid-February before electricity is restored to some of the hardest-hit places. The worst of the power failures were in Kentucky, Arkansas and Ohio.
It is truly amazing how these Gorons continue to stick to this "Globull Warming" nonsense. These people are certifiably nuts.....

My mother and my in-laws are without power due to that event. No fun, and it is not supposed to get above freezing until Sunday.

And just a handful of weeks ago, nearly the entire state of New Hampshire and vast swaths of Massachusetts were without power in the wake of another massive ice storm.

Can anyone explain what factors have conspired to produce this outbreak of refreshing rationality after twenty years of propaganda drumbeat about global warming?
Prediction - Al Gore will take this to court and demand a re-count!

Computer modeling was used to create scenarios (i.e., stories) to represent the scientists opinions about what might happen. The models were not intended as forecasting models (Trenberth 2007) and they have not been validated for that purpose. Since the publication of our paper, no one has provided evidence to refute our claim that there are no scientific forecasts to support global warming.
All those pretty colors and swirling figures are about as useful as an Xbox 360 game and not nearly as entertaining.

After listening to the oGre’s meeting on Capitol Hill yesterday, I can say that we’re totally screwed. Everyone there kissed his butt, and treated him as a climatology god. Too many people are either brainwashed or see a personal advantage about this issue. We’re gonna get screwed!

Were gonna get screwed! Sooner or later Algore is going to have to stand up and defend his climatological "theology". When he can't (and he most certainly can't defend it) anyone who is associated with him is going to be branded a loon, particularly if the current cooling trend continues...
