Wouldn’t it be funny if the solution to stop global cooling was to burn fossil fuels?

the only good thing about seeing it happen rapidly and soon would be watching Algor’s head explode when people stopped buying his carbon credits

No sunspots. A dramatic drop in the solar wind. All portend serious and problematic cooling, which in the past has been catastrophic for large swaths of humanity. But the globull warming nutcases are still running around preaching climate Armageddon because of small increases in a minor greenhouse gas.

Global warming/Ozone Hole/Ice age/Climate change

It doesn’t matter.

The goals are”

1) To throttle the free market American economy.
2) To build another layer of bureaocracy and regulations.
3) TO keep the easy, comfortable taxpayer money flowing to obscenely unproductive academics/”scientists”.

A bit of a different topic, but --

I used to go to the supermarket and get my groceries in brown paper bags. But then the Greens said that I was killing trees, and that I should use plastic bags instead. So I did. But then the Greens said that I was filling up landfills with plastic that never deteriorates and that I should use canvas bags instead. So I did. Well, the Wall St Journal recently has an article saying that canvas bags are bad for the environment.

Bottomline: Whatever it is that you're doing, is wrong, and the Greens want you to stop it.

Especially coal.

Im sure if Al Gore was around during the time of Moses and seeing the pillar of smoke, that would be attributed to global warming too, theres just some people that cant accept the truth no matter how blatantly obvious it is.

Surely the Greenies would approve if you took one of those plastic grocery bags and re-used it to tie over you head until you suffocate, as long as it was disposed of properly afterwards by your next of kin.

There aren’t enough fossil fuels. If the sun decides to cool down, shut off, or blow up, it wins.

Actually, the greenbats have figured it out enough to begin calling it “Global Climate Change” instead of global warming. Now they can have it both ways. Pretty clever.

Gore is a Democrat. Reason, facts and logic are foreign to them.

No doubt you're right. It's no accident that every “solution” is something that would otherwise be a left wing goal. So let's take a little advantage of the global warming alarmist. The next time one of them starts to spout off, tell them you'll me more than happy not to debate the matter with if they'll sign a statement saying:
1) He or she is completely convince man made global warming exist.
2) Any realistic plan to fight global warming would require enormous economic and personnel sacrifices.
3) Because of the enormous cost of fighting man made global warming and his or her’s current certainty that it exist, if at some point in the future global warming is found not to exist his or her’s judgement should not be trusted.
4) Further, they will leave public office, otherwise not participate in politics and not burden us with their views anymore.

I've had zero takers to date.

What they really want is for you to die.

Tjis may sound a bit conspiratorial, but the timing has bothered me for a while.

IIRC, if we had signed on to the KP back in 97, we could have expected to see the reversal of the warming trend in a decade or so. Well, lo and behold, a decade later and the cooling trend has started, and don’t try to tell me or the snow in my pleasant Wasilla yard that it hasn’t. Could it be that they knew what the cycle was doing in advance and wanted so very desperately to be able to take credit for it? It might explain some of the heavy handed hysteria displayed.

While that would be true, the Sun's effect seems be somewhat less direct than that. It has more to do with the sun's magnetic field, rather than it's heat/energy output. The field is responsible for both sunspots and the solar wind. It also deflects cosmic rays. The heating and cooling seems to be related to changes in the earth's reflectivity, more than the heat/light output of the sun. That reflectivity is changed by the cloud cover, which in turn is affected by the rate of cosmic rays (actually high energy charged particles). More cosmic rays hitting the earth means more clouds which reflect more sunlight, which leads to cooling.

I say just take the family to the grocery store when it is time to eat. Set up shop in the cereal isle for breakfast and send the kids to produce for some fruit. At lunch time, hang out at the lunchmeat counter and feast on some sandwiches (bread is usually close by). Dinner might be tough as I don't think the greenies want folks hauling a grill into the grocery store.

This way you never have to carry anything out.
