Hot Air: Five myths about the Lieberman-Warner global-warming legislation

Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Correction: Global Warming is a Natural Phenomenon.

That Warner is a smack off has been far from a secret for some time. But can we now please stop construction of the altar republicans have been building for Lieberman over the past several years? He is not a moderate. He is a typical leftist.

I believe this is a repost - forgive if it is.

1998 was the last warmest year, so doesn’t that mean we are in Global Cooling since then? Yes/No?

1998 was the last warmest year, so doesn’t that mean we are in Global Cooling since then? Yes/No?

The 1998 data was misinterpreted by NASA. A 15 year old German kid found the error and NASA was forced to correct the date. That made a much earlier year the hotest. The global warmers still claim 1998 even though they know better.

But to answer your question, if 1998 were the hotest year ever, it would prove there has been no warming over the last 10 years.

When is this Warner idiot up for reelection? We have to get rid of this dunce. I’ll send money to his Dem opponent if necessary.

1998 was the hottest year globally and still is. The error was with US data and some year in the 30’s is now the hottest. But the heat in 1998 was due to El Nino. Temperatures have been basically flat since, but I pay little attention to temperatures since their recording has been so screwed up.

John Warner is retiring after this term. Replacement will be elected in November.

If liberals can get control over energy -

(the power to make our lives better)

- then dole that power out...

"by the teaspoon" to those they deem "deserving",

they'll finally have the control freak culture they've always wanted.

Thanks, and good riddance to this Warner bum.

“I pay little attention to temperatures since their recording has been so screwed up”

I am fascinated, how they average global temperature when density of temperature measuring points around the globe is uneven. And what is the historical global temperature is about?

A temperature history in one separately taken point is another thing all-together. That’s understandable. Like analysis of tree records. Or ice drilled out in Antarctica. But how they come up with historic global temperature without gross estimation and myriad of assumptions?

After getting familiar with this bill I am convinced that the object of this Congress is to completely drive out all manufacturing jobs out of the U.S. by 2010.

Well, yes, (if you use the word "ever"), but that's not my point. My point was that since there have not been any warmer years since 1998, we have technically been cooling since 1998.

Anyone seen any sunspots lately? Theory is that we will keep cooling until we see some spots.

[Ronaldus Magnus Reagan]

Hope springs eternal, and I am hoping that this bill (since it is by Lieberman-Warner, not exactly two left-wing wackos) is a back door way to mandate nuclear energy power plants. But I havn't read the bill.

Don’t forget they will also control health care delivery.
