Maybe the government well give me a grant to study whether I really did get 4 to 6 more inches of snow this morning.

The drive-by media will either ignore the conference or label it a sham conference held by global-warming deniers and once again equate those attending to Holocaust deniers.

Al Gore gives a speech on Global Warming in New York City......on the coldest day in decades.

Al Gore wins the Noble Peace Prize for his work on Global Warming....the following winter is the coldest in recorded history.

Proof positive God has a sense of humor.

Nobody denies that there is such a thing as a greenhouse effect. If there were not, the side of the planet facing away from the sun would be freezing every night.

Sowell does have a way of explaining things so even liberals can understand. LOL!

Their biggest argument is that there is no argument.

While at the same time, the left is always accusing "the right" as being closed-minded.

Global Warming is caused by Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time was created by humans.

Therefore Global Warming is being caused by humans.

Send me my Nobel Prize now.

Liberals do not like to be wrong. As long as they have representatives in power global warming will be real no matter what the scientists that they don’t pay say.

There is not even a lot of controversy over temperature readings.

Just so long as you ignore the recording thermometers positioned next to jet engines, burn barrels, air conditioner exhausts and the middle of asphalt parking lots.

The conference will be sponsored by Exxon Mobile, George Bush, and Darth Vader.
It will be protested by Gaia, Al Gore, George Soros, and the Kenny Kingston Psychic Network.
Film at eleven.

Hi Dave,

Just thought I'd inform you of something not commonly known that I learned just last night:

The word, "holocaust" is of Greek origin, "holokaustos," "a sacrifice wholly consumed by fire; a burnt offering."

Before WWII it had no other meaning. That media, academia, and Jewish atheists have promoted the term until it is nearly universal is no accident. The apostate thugs behind it truly intend as much for the religiously observant.

The truly Jewish word is "Shoah."

I'm not suggesting you do anything, I just thought you'd appreciate the distinction.

I've said it before on this site, and I'll say it again: Thomas Sowell should be required reading from 6th grade through college. And beyond.

I have, I think, four of his books and they're all excellent.

But stampedes and hysteria are no joke — and creating stampedes and hysteria has become a major activity of those hyping a global-warming “crisis.”

Well said, Dr. Sowell.

This will be one of the rare opportunities for the media to hear the other side of the story — for those old-fashioned journalists who still believe that their job is to inform the public, rather than promote an agenda.

This is called "marketing".
