Mount St. Helens glacier growing 50 feet per year. September 20, 2004 - Located inside the volcanic crater formed during its 1980 eruption, America’s youngest glacier is also its fastest growing glacier. Scientists estimate that the thickness of the glacier has increased by nearly 50 feet per year. “Today,” says a brochure published by the US Forest Service, “the snow and ice in the crater is equal in volume to all of the pre-eruption glaciers on Mount St. Helens combined.” Why is no one bothering to tell us about this? (Oct 12, 2004. With the temperature inside the crater now standing at 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, my guess is that the glacier is melting.)
I'm on the phone with PETA right now, your wife WILL answer for this!
Good. I'm sick of winter.
Not to worry. She's my First Wife...
Not in my driveway!
First you have to prove there is such a thing as global warming, and no one has done that yet.
Second you have to prove that global warming is a negative rather than a positive. Remember that the opposite of warming is cooling, and we're about due for another Ice Age.
The "unintended consequences" of cooling the earth to prevent warming may provide us with a disaster of global proportions if the ice starts to move this way.

My house in coastal Orange County is at 6' 2" above sea level. No wait, 6' 1.999999".
I'm doomed.
Doomed.

New Little Ice Age by 2030!
So says Dr. Theodor Landscheidt, of the Schroeter Institute for Research in
Cycles of Solar Activity in Waldmuenchen, Germany. See New Little Ice Age
Newspaper pulled the article apparently, not consistent with the MSM campaign of r Global Warming!
Headline: " LIGHTNING AND TUNDRA AT THE ARCTIC"
He couldn't even get his golf ball over the water onto dry land!
Great little sequence!
If tobacco use hadn't wiped us out 180 years ago, we'd really have something to worry about, I reckon.
Yeah, but he built a stadium in a corn field ... give him a chance.
The ice is not melting yet. There may be some melting in March, and more in April. Most melting will be in May. There will be some ice left in the middle of June in shaded areas.

Not by Fire but by Ice
THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW! Ice
.
I’m sorry to report that Dr. Theodor Landscheidt passed away on May 20, 2004. Founder of the Schroeter Institute for Research in Cycles of Solar Activity in Waldmuenchen, Germany, Dr. Landscheidt was a giant in the field of climatology. He recently asserted that the next Little Ice Age will be in full bloom by the year 2030
New Little Ice Age by 2030!
Dr. Landscheidt, author of "Sun - Earth - Man: A Mesh of Cosmic Oscillations", and "Cosmic Cybernetics: The Foundations of a Modern Astrology," based his forecast on the Gleissberg cycle of solar activity.
"Contrary to the IPCC's speculation about man-made global warming as high as 5.8° C within the next hundred years," said Landscheidt, "a long period of cool climate with its coldest phase around 2030 is to be expected.""It can be seen," added Landscheidt, "that the Gleissberg minimum around 2030 and another one around 2200 will be of the Maunder minimum type accompanied by severe cooling on Earth." (Posted 19 Sep 2003)
http://mitosyfraudes.8k.com/Calen/Landscheidt-1.htmlThis confirms what I've been saying all along; that our climate is controlled by magnetic activity on the sun.
It also makes my assertion that "we'll be admitting that we're headed into an ice age by the year 2012" seem a lot more plausible.

Landscheidt's forecasts include the end of the great Sahelian drought; the last five extremes in global temperature anomalies; the last three El Niños; and the course of the last La Niña. He predicted extreme River Po discharges beginning in October 2000, some seven months before they began.

I just got pounded with one snowstorm here. A bigger one will be here Monday. OK, we were having a super-mild winter before that. Pick another time to tell me about global warming!
Don't the rice, soy, and corn yields fall when the temperature rises? That's not necessarily negative, of course.
