It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...
The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

Until recently, global temperatures were more than a degree Fahrenheit warmer when compared to the overall 20th Century mean. From August of 2007 through February of 2008, the Earth’s mean reading dropped to near the 200-year average temperature of 57 degrees. Since that time, the mean reading has been fluctuating.
We, Cliff Harris and Randy Mann, believe that the warming and even the cooling of global temperatures are the result of long-term climatic cycles, solar activity, sea-surface temperature patterns and more. However, Mankind’s activities of the burning of fossil fuels, massive deforestations, the replacing of grassy surfaces with asphalt and concrete, the ‘Urban Heat Island Effect,’ are making conditions ‘worse’ and this will ultimately enhance the Earth’s warming process down the meteorological roadway in the next several decades.
From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, a climate research organization called the Weather Science Foundation of Crystal Lake, Illinois, determined that the planet’s warm, cold, wet and dry periods were the result of alternating short-term and long-term climatic cycles. These researchers and scientists also concluded that the Earth’s ever-changing climate likewise has influenced global and regional economies, human and animal migrations, science, religion and the arts as well as shifting forms of government and strength of leadership.
Much of this data was based upon thousands of hours of research done by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler and his associates during the 1930s and 1940s at the University of Kansas. Dr. Wheeler was well-known for his discovery of various climate cycles, including his highly-regarded ‘510-Year Drought Clock’ that he detailed at the end of the ‘Dust Bowl’ era in the late 1930s.
During the early 1970s, our planet was in the midst of a colder and drier weather cycle. Inflationary recessions and oil shortages led to rationing and long gas lines at service stations worldwide. The situation at that time was far worse than it is now, at least for the time being.
The Weather Science Foundation also predicted, based on these various climate cycles, that our planet would turn much warmer and wetter by the early 2000s, resulting in general global prosperity. They also said that we would be seeing at this time widespread weather ‘extremes.’ There’s little doubt that most of their early predictions came true.
Our recent decline in the Earth’s temperature may be a combination of both long-term and short-term climate cycles, decreased solar activity and the development of a strong long-lasting La Nina, the current cooler than normal sea-surface temperature event in the south-central Pacific Ocean. Sunspot activity in the past 18 months has decreased to the lowest levels since ‘The Little Ice Age’ ended in the mid-to late 1800s. This "cool spell," though, may only be a brief interruption to the Earth’s overall warming trend. Only time will tell.
Based on these predictions, it appears that much warmer readings may be expected for Planet Earth, especially by the 2030s, that will eventually top 1998's global highest reading of 58.3 degrees. It’s quite possible we could see an average temperature in the low 60s. Until then, this ‘cooling period’ may last from just a few months to as long as several years, especially if sunspot activity remains very low.
We at Harris-Mann Climatology, www.LongRangeWeather.com, believe that our prolonged cycle of wide weather ‘extremes,’ the worst in at least 1,000 years, will continue and perhaps become even more severe, especially by the mid 2010s. We should see more powerful storms, including major hurricanes and increasing deadly tornadoes. There will likewise be widespread flooding, crop-destroying droughts and freezes and violent weather of all types including ice storms, large-sized hail and torrential downpours.
We are already seeing on virtually every continent an almost Biblical weather scenario of increasing droughts and floods. In both the southwestern and southeastern corners of the U.S, there are severe water shortage problems associated with chronic long-term dryness. In some cases, the water deficits are the worst in at least 400 years.
Dr. Wheeler also discovered that approximately every 102 years, a much warmer and drier climatic cycle affects our planet. The last such ‘warm and dry’ peak occurred in 1936, at the end of the infamous ‘Dust Bowl’ period. During that time, extreme heat and dryness, combined with a multitude of problems during the ‘Great Depression,’ made living conditions practically intolerable.
The next ‘warm and dry’ climatic phase is scheduled to arrive in the early 2030s, probably peaking around 2038. It is expected to produce even hotter and drier weather patterns than we saw during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
But, we should remember, that the Earth’s coldest periods have usually followed excessive warmth. Such was the case when our planet moved from the Medieval Warm Period between 900 and 1300 A.D. to the sudden ‘Little Ice Age,’ which peaked in the 17th Century.
By the end of this 21st Century, a big cool down may occur that could ultimately lead to expanding glaciers worldwide, even in the mid-latitudes. We could possibly see even a new Great Ice Age. Based on long-term climatic data, these major ice ages have recurred about every 11,500 years. Well, you guessed it. The last extensive ice age was approximately 11,500 years ago, so we may be due. Again, only time will tell.
He sure is vehementley against cap and trade for being a greenie.
He removed every CFL light out of the house he moved into. Can’t stand them he said.
Articles are coming out right and left designed to divide the resurgence of conservatives.
All one had to do was show what nature can do on its own.
I do my part to be green too. It doesn’t mean I believe in man caused global warming. It just means I want a clean environment and will do my small part.
One of his first shows had that hillarious segment on cleaning up a broken CFL bulb.
Thanks for the post.
The evil Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts always taught us to clean up our own mess. Mom, too.
Common sense: Libs don't have it.
Hell I even pick up other people’s trash. Not because I like to, but because it looks like crap.
Global Warming, Global Cooling, Climate Change....are all real.
But...mankind is truly egocentric if mankind feels responsible.
“Articles are coming out right and left designed to divide the resurgence of conservatives.”
IMHO, there is only one thing that can stop the conservative resurgency, and that is conservatives themselves. As a thread like this illustrates, we are too quick to pounce - pretty soon, Palin will be dead to us for stumping for McCain.
This insistence on TOTAL, DOWN-THE-LINE, adherence to each and every conservative precept - social, fiscal or whatever - will pretty much guarantee we will never get a candidate we are “happy” with.
I heard some great speeches at CPAC - but were they recognized or given credit here? Only Beck. We are seeing RINO’s under the bed, in closets and behind the curtains.
This is bad business, and will retard our attempts to turn this country around, imo.
Exactly. I pick up others' trash and always had my kids do the same. It's not exactly rocket science and it certainly doesn't require government intervention. Sheesh.
Amen! I fail to understand why some feel (maybe they are small minded) that because one is a Conservative one should trash the planet. I do my part to keep the Earth the Lord bestowed clean. I do not believe that it is an ‘us versus them’ issue. For the matter, a lot of the so called ‘environmentalist Lefties’ are frauds ...sipping soy and wearing hemp doesn’t make one special. Any fool can grow their hair long and take a weekly shower ...thus I refuse to let the Left define what being environmentally friendly is. It is like a shepherd ...he has many sheep that he cares for, however he also eats those sheep and shears them. But, since he is a good tender of his flock, the flock grows in number and health - even though he eats mutton and wears wool. As things should be. The fools at DU think the farmer shouldn’t benefit from the meat and wool, while here on FR some would say that unless the farmer shoots all the sheep and somps on them with greased up boots then he is a ‘greeny.’ the truth isinbetween
I can’t count the number of times I have stopped on a country road to pick up someone elses muffler out of the middle of the road, or someone’s trash cans blowing into the road. I guess most think it is “someone else’s job”...

If I were a rich man I would buy a 10,000 acre tract of wilderness and keep it that way. If its my property I can do with it as I please.
Speaking of conservatives—I happened to have an opportunity to speak with one of the Park Police in DC after our the huge march on DC back in September, where more than 1 million people took part.
He told me that he and his fellow workers were amazed because there was no litter left behind. He said that the mall was left very clean, and that the crews who usually do the clean up, which can sometimes take several days had very little to pick up and haul away. He said it was less than one black garbage bag full.
Being “green” used to be known as being conservative—conserving resources and reusing as much as possible. We really need to reclaim the word and the sentiment for ourselves, in the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt.
Global warming global cooling....There ain’t nothin we can do about it.
