You have to wonder how a so-called sportswriter gets the irrestible urge to waste a column on "global warming" and then pretty much blows every point he tries to make. Incidentally, I won't be happy until there are palm trees on Oak Street Beach.

Lions and tigers and bears.

Oh my.


I wonder how those great lakes came about. Oh yeah. The melting glacier over North America left behind the Great Lakes. Must have been those SUV driving American Indians.

As is evident here, the idea is to so fill every section of the paper with this garbage that you can't miss it.
They claim that oceans will go up and the Great Lakes going down is also an effect. In other words, anything bad that happens is because of SUVs.

The sky is falling.

Someday soon, Provincetown, MA will be the same as Key West.

Oh wait.

It already is.

The ocean goes up another 580 feet or so and Chicago is in big trouble.

What is it about this particular kool-aid that makes people want to just gulp it down? This comes at a time when the whole foundation of anthropogenic warming is beginning to crumble.

From the article: Indeed, parts of Greenland now are open to cultivation two weeks longer than in the 1970s, and imagine what that once-desolate mini-continent might become.

For Icy Greenland, Global Warming Has a Bright Side

But to many of the people who live here in Greenland, the warming trend is a boon, not a threat. [snip]

Already, the temperature rise in Greenland has extended the growing season by two weeks since the 1970s -- no small matter since those two weeks come during the spring and summer when the sun shines for as long as 20 hours a day in southern Greenland. Warmer days allow farmers to take better advantage of the extended sunlight, which gives plants more energy and a better chance to survive and thrive. If temperatures rose enough to allow the growing season to begin in late April, rather than mid-May, Greenlandic farmers might be able to grow fruit, including strawberries or apples. [snip]

Near the end of the 14th century, the Norse vanished from Greenland. While researchers don't know for sure, many believe an increasingly cold climate made eking out a living here all but impossible as grasses and trees declined. Farming faded away from the 17th century to the 19th century, a period known as the Little Ice Age.

It seems like what the Gorites are up to is rejecting all of the "old" conventional science and, little by little, replacing it with their own national socialist meteorology.

"consider that 4 inches would imperil many of our Eastern beach areas, and 3 feet would, according to the April cover story in The Atlantic, threaten the survival of countries from Bangladesh to the Netherlands, "

baloney. you wouldn't even notice a four inch rise in ocean depths. Erosion will do more damage to the coast.

They can't even get the weather correct on a day-by-day basis and we're expect to believe them when they say what it's going to be like in 50 years.

It appears that someone doesn't understand that WATER VAPOR not CO2 is the "chief warming gas". Furthermore, that same someone doesn't understand how the Sun affects cosmic rays.

I think it's the cosmic rays that affect the distribution of cloud formation and water vapors, which affects the greenhouse effect. At least, that's the "cosmic ray" theory as I read it.

Let's face it. People don't turn to SI when they are looking for intelligent writing.

Climatologists, the real ones anyway, are beginning to acknowledge that global temperature readings have been falling for the past three years. And yet, what amazes me is that the Global Warming myth perpetuators can't recognize what is happening before their very eyes: GW protest events are having to be cancelled or postponed because of (gasp) record COLD temperatures and (horrors!) BLIZZARDS!!!

When temperature data can no longer sustain the myth of human caused global warming (unless the data is manipulated or manufactured as Michael Mann did to create his [now] discredited "hockey stick" graph), how will the MSM and the GW myth perpetuators (Al Gore comes to mind) convince people that they were and still are "right" about GW??

Inquiring minds and such . . . .

But whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, a fascist or a Commie, it doesn't matter now because, as the apolitical Sports Illustrated points out, ''global warming is by definition global. Every organism on the planet is already feeling its impact.''

Apolitical SI?
