There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998

If it wasn't for FreeRepublic, we would never see this article in the U.S.

Based on past experience, I'm convinced Rush, Boortz and others scan FR for news tips. Let's see if they pick up this one.

Maybe lying is too extreme a word because in many cases they actually believe the fictions and bad conclusions they reach. I had the benefit of reading some of the early articles about the coming new ice age when I was a child during the late 70s and early 80s. I also had the benefit of reading hundreds of books on prehistoric animals and environments and how much and how frequently the climate changed.

It really becomes impossible to fall prey to the misplaced alarmism of kooks on the left once you know that the Earth and life survived huge swings in climate, impact disasters, and levels of carbon dioxide and temperatures that made most of the Earth a many times a tropical "paradise". Also we should be warned that we are living in what is considered an interglacial period and the Earth could easily slip back into a full blown Ice Age something I think would be far more devastating to life as we know it than anything brought on by "global warming".

I think this article does a good job of pointing out how flimsy the conclusions from global warming proponents are. These same people would gladly embark on billion dollar projects to fix what is not broken and if by chance they were successful could trigger an even worse consequence of accelerating the onset of the next ice age.

On that note, 5-6 years ago, I used to have an old Boortz mindspring email address, from when it was on an early, early version of his web page. That address wasn't even on his web page at the time. This was long before syndication.

I'd email some fairly obscure material into it, that I'd found here, late at night, and fairly frequently, it would show up on the program the next morning.

While I never got any emails back, I'm pretty sure I know where he got those items.

Thanks for posting this excellent article.

Thanks for posting this.

"It hasn't been this warm in 150 years!" Is the cry.

Well guess what that means? 150 years ago it WAS this warm.

This great reply will be stored in my old remaining gray cells to shoot down the global warming whiners when they make this stupid statement. Often, the time span is even less like 30 to 50 years.

Thanks for posting this
Anytime
You can dig up statements from these nuts that getting colder AND getting warmer is a result of global warming. They've got to have lots of help to be that stupid - you just can't get that way on your own!

Cordially,

But it HAD to have been getting warmer since 1998. Al Gore told me so. And...and... what about Katrina!!??? Or the rising sea levels, at least 3 feet since.. oh, wait, that didn't happen yet either....

But.... but... It's Bush's fault!!

This occurred in April/May 2000. All the planets were in alignment. For a good time, read all the dire predictions concerning this event. Whether this has had an effect on the climate changes, I can't say; nor can anyone else. It happens about every 6000 years.

My grandfather was born in 1888. It was the coldest winter of record; official records began in 1886.

Big surprise: lefties lie.

That wouldn't be so bad...but some of them will do just about anything
(including crime) to promote their vision.

Great picture. In early May, my oldest son and I returned from a Shad fishing trip on the American River. We fished until dark and drove west to get to our homes.

We saw this formation, and it was spectacular. Early last May, my wife and I drove to Oregon to visit our son and for me to attend the Spey Clave on the Sandy River. We were driving on I5 north and saw something similiar from Weed to Yreka.

"My grandfather was born in 1888. It was the coldest winter of record; official records began in 1886."

Then according the eviro terrorists, we had global warming due to the covered wagons heading west.

"Then according the eviro terrorists, we had global warming due to the covered wagons heading west."

There was a lot of release of greenhouse gases during those travels.

[Grampa Dave]

That has to be one of the funniest scenes from the great and really funny movie, Blazing Saddles.!

There was recently a Virginia Book conference covered on CSPAN. One of the sessions covered three "fiction" books on global warming.

Of course the authors claimed they were non-fiction. :-)

What was most interesting was to watch the reaction of this hippy-dippy character in the audience. You know the type--long gray hair, bushy gray beard, and a vacant expression caused by too much weed.

This guy loved the stuff--as if the pleasure centers of his brain were getting direct stimulus.

Then it came time for him to ask a question--and out popped the usual Marxist attacks on greedy capitalism.

Global warming is classic "leftist science".

btw it is taught to most American school-children as the absolute truth by their brainwashed "teachers"--just one more reason to keep our kids away from the public schools.

"Big surprise: lefties lie."

Yes, with dogs, and share their fleas and lice.

"We were driving on I5 north and saw something similiar from Weed to Yreka."

Are you sure it was from weed? I didn't know you used the stuff. :o)

[poindexters brother]

They have long appreciated - ever since the early 1990s, when the global warming bandwagon first started to roll behind the gravy train of the UN Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

It's the time-proven principle: You get what you pay for. You pay (via research grants) for global warming, you get global warming.

My heating bill this winter was exorbitant. I demand more Global Warming.

I created a little stir on our college campus. Bill Nye (the science guy) was scheduled to do a guest lecture. I thought, cool, it would coincide with the mid-term, and after the mid-term, the students could have a break and listen to him. I thought it would be like his old television show, with experiments and stuff.

He opened with global warming, and thus began a lame, hour-long politically correct diatribe. My students were text messaging me asking to leave.
