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.

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

AL 9000 also held a rally in Montreal on the coldest and snowiest day in decades.

it’s not nice to fool [with] Mother Nature...

Just about NOTHING with the possible of exception of glaciers coming down across Canada and covering the northern U.S. will change the minds of those who are committed to believing in anthropogenic global warming.

Europeans were right all along by stating publicly that ethanol is promoted by farming interests, is cost negative, and causes food costs to skyrocket.
Too bad that our congressmen while setting steep ethanol usage targets go on recess, disregard economics to the tune of causing inflation, currency devaluation, food cost escalation not just in this country, but cause starving the poor worldwide.
The media up to this time solidly supported ethanol by creating global warming fears through fear mongering and sensationalism to stem viewer/reader declines.
Talk about hating those Americans for selfishness.

But a profiler can! Therefore, you must be a left handed FBI agent from the midwest.

The article is somewhat interesting but not as interesting as it was last time.

Ah ha!

I am an accountant in the Southeast!

Actually that is a lie.

I am a liar in the Southeast.

A whole cottage industry has sprung up among people who get grants, government agencies who get appropriations, politicians who get publicity, and the perpetually indignant who get something new to be indignant about. It gives teachers something to talk about in school instead of teaching.

LOL! He got the whole movement in a nutshell right there!

Well, according to recent sunspot data, which shows very few or NONE, we could be going into a new sunspot minimum, and they just might see those glaciers advancing! And if there is a new minimum, I think it should be called the Al Gore Minimum.

Bttt.

"...exception of glaciers coming down across Canada and covering the northern U.S...."

Build the fence!

[CRBDeuce]

They mobilize like-minded people from a variety of occupations, call them all “scientists”[or "veterans"] and then claim that “all” the experts agree....

[my note] Worked for John Kerry in 1971...problem is that Robert's Rules of Order state clearly that only communists are allowed to use this rule!

The title seems identical. Yesterday, or the day before, it couldn’t do an archive search. Thanks for the link.

Some of the comments are great..

[PeterFinn]

You post on Canadaka.net, too, don’t you?

[Carry_Okie]

Nope, but I may have been cited there.

think it was this year but a team went to the artic to see how the so called global warming effect, half way through their venture they had to turn back due to extreme cold conditions

Of course the media basically blacked out the story

ah not forgetting this
after katrina we in Florida were told that we would have more of those hurricans next year
we got nothing here where I am
the next year i.e. last year we not none

I bet those global mentalists are hiding behind the back of their sofas just waiting for a bad hurrican and then they will spring up saying told you about the hurricans of course forgetting we are supposed to get them

Here right now in Northern florida we have had frost for three night running, quite unheard of of at this time of year
malibu last year got snow for the first time in many years
south america has just had a really extreme bad cold winter

they also forget that 4oo years ago England use to be bale to grow grapes because it was so warm well hot

Sorry I’m late to the story, but I’ve just got back inside from shovelling to keep up with the snowfall that’s to accumulate a foot by tomorrow morning. Damn that global warming!

Look to Sweden? (Some of Europe’s social democracies are ahead of the US on market-based reform.)

The end of multiculturalism

Clinton’s Efforts on Ethanol Overlap Her Husband’s Interests Finally doing something for NY, pushing cellulosic ethanol.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
