Global Warming: Defeated By Reality
I don’t think anyone can have not noticed the irony explicit in the sudden chilling in so much of the world – while in the midst of so-called global warming.
I take delight in this reality – precisely because it shows the limits of human understanding regarding the weather. And more to the point, it exposes those politiscientists and their camp followers who have been trying to hoodwink us into allowing the state to tax us even more – in response to doomsday scenarios about the weather.
Right from the beginning I was a global warming skeptic. Not just because I believed such overreaching predictions were unreliable, but because of the political connections with the concept.
You see, I have one overriding rule when considering such predictions: does the government have anything to do with this? Does it have anything to gain? Is there a political element to this “science”.
And when you look at global warming (or climate change as it’s become known, probably since some in that camp feared global warming may not eventuate!), it not difficult to discern the hand of politicians and their lackeys – scientists who are paid by politicians.
In other words, don’t trust any scientist whose pay check comes from the state!
Common wisdom is everywhere – as people from all over the planet are debunking the global warming theory as “nuts” – as they try to cope with the unexpected freeze – even in Florida!!!!

David….your comments suggest a lack of close attention to the science of the current climate discussions. The warming trend has been going on for thousands of years, as the earth emerges from the last ice age, and as the planet revolves through the cycles of natural warming and cooling. With the rapid growth of technological abilities to do geological studies and other earth science, scientists are able to observe and show evidence that the natural warming cycle IS increasing exponentially, and that activities of humans are contributing significantly to the acceleration. Extreme weather conditions, both warming and cooling, are logically anticipated and support the scientific studies and forecasts. The melting of the arctic glaciers, for example, is easily observed and monitored, and as the ocean currents warm and sea levels rise, many other processes are affected, resulting in changes in frequency and magnitude of volcanism, and storms in all seasons. The heating and cooling trends are interspersed over the decades and centuries, but the overall direction can be charted. Sort of like charting financial market trends. Geology and climatology are fascinating fields. And climate change is a serious threat to modern civilization in years to come if we all simply pretend otherwise and don’t prepare. I’ll watch for some good reading materials to pass along to you. (I don’t mean to sound condescending, so my apologies if I do).
