Global warming on Free Republic

In early September, I began noticing a string of news stories about scientists rejecting the orthodoxy on global warming. Actually, it was more like a string of guest columns and long letters to the editor since it is hard for skeptical scientists to get published in the cabal of climate journals now controlled by the Great Sanhedrin of the environmental movement.
Still, the number of climate change skeptics is growing rapidly. Because a funny thing is happening to global temperatures -- they're going down, not up.
On the same day (Sept. 5) that areas of southern Brazil were recording one of their latest winter snowfalls ever and entering what turned out to be their coldest September in a century, Brazilian meteorologist Eugenio Hackbart explained that extreme cold or snowfall events in his country have always been tied to "a negative PDO" or Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Positive PDOs -- El Ninos -- produce above-average temperatures in South America while negative ones -- La Ninas -- produce below average ones.
Dr. Hackbart also pointed out that periods of solar inactivity known as "solar minimums" magnify cold spells on his continent. So, given that August was the first month since 1913 in which no sunspot activity was recorded -- none -- and during which solar winds were at a 50-year low, he was not surprised that Brazilians were suffering (for them) a brutal cold snap. "This is no coincidence," he said as he scoffed at the notion that manmade carbon emissions had more impact than the sun and oceans on global climate.

Hasn’t been any global warming since’98. There is absolutely no credible scientific evidence to support AGW. It is all based on computer models programmed to show a steady increase in global temperature because of human activity which will lead to a global catastrophe. there is a pile of scientific data to show that this is all a hoax. The Greens/socialists really want the destruction of capitalism, and this is one of their most important venues. they will not give up easily.
Yeah, be careful who you call “Parder” when you head down that way.
Duoh. Make that “Pardner.”
When I watch the nightly weather report here in East Texas, it is always ten degrees warmer inside of the metropolitan Dallas / Fort Worth area and it magically “cools” as you head further west from the concrete jungle.
Apparently the thread you linked to had been covered as well, and locked.
Don’t be sorry, many people wouldn’t see the story if it hadn’t been re-posted.
Besides, it gives the posting police a sense of puropse.
Mostly because people are just too lazy to look more than one page deep for useful information..
Global warming on Free Republic
Imagine that.
How objective of them.
Is that anything like skeptical scientists not being able to get published in evo journals, I wonder?
Don’t let the posting police bully you.
I didn’t see it the first time around. But then again, I don’t live on FR 24/7 either.

Won’t work because liberals can just never ever be satisfied. They run around trying to control anyone and everyone with their PC gibberish. It’s what they live for, they’ll just move on to the next cause.
What we really need to do is aim them at themselves: liberalism. Perhaps ambush them with something.
Yo really need to get a life.,
Thank you for the ping. I was tempted to save this one yesterday and passed it by.
Yes, meanwhile let Palin work on him, drill in ANWR too!
