Will OOOOHBAAAAMA Flip-flop again as a twister he is?
It’s time to pray for global warming

If you’re wondering why North America is starting to resemble nuclear winter, then you missed the news.
At December’s U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world’s top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, “For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?”
I asked myself, why would such obviously smart guy say such a ridiculous thing? But it turns out he’s right.
The earth’s temperature peaked in 1998. It’s been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels.
Meanwhile, the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center released conclusive satellite photos showing that Arctic ice is back to 1979 levels. What’s more, measurements of Antarctic ice now show that its accumulation is up 5 percent since 1980.
In other words, during what was supposed to be massive global warming, the biggest chunks of ice on earth grew larger. Just as an aside, do you remember when the hole in the ozone layer was going to melt Antarctica? But don’t worry, we’re safe now, that was the nineties.

Gore demands recount. New polls to be restricted to Hollywood, San Fancisco, and Seattle.
Doesn’t matter now. Obama is going to enact a lot of this garbage.
That would be the 59% of the population with enough functioning neurons to notice that they are freezing to death.
The other 49% are at the Obama Coronation.
The other 41% are at the Obama Coronation.
OOOOHBAAAAMA will be frozen tomorrow and it will be Al GORE’s fault
I live in Michigan where we have about 10 inches of fresh Global Warming on the ground. This past weekend, school closed, so our Boy Scouts went camping. Friday night never crested zero. I wanted to take a photo of me sitting in a chair near my tent reading Earth in the Balance bundled up in my arctic gear. But, I forgot to take the book and the camera batteries were frozen. I took the shot at home yesterday instead.
Yes, I really have the book to use as a futute firestarter. I got it at the dollar store...on sale.
That’s hard to believe.
I wonder how many even believe the planet is warming. It’s been below 30 for the past two and a half weeks here.
To quote the Goregons, the entire matter is settled by consensus...
Or, it’s like gays in the military and the homeless crisis. It’s only sheik to shriek when a Republican is in office. Code faded Red and Cindy Shebeast have also fallen out of style real fast.
If you have not seen the video of Al Gore ominously predicting the demise of the Polar Ice Cap, you have to watch this vid on Youtube. Mark your calendars, Al has set a timetable!
Al Gore says that the polar ice cap will be completely gone in 5 years!
Click on the image above to see the video where he says it!
If he was invited to the inauguration, it would probably be an unseasonably warm day (at least that what Gores history of appearances show... it’s scientific concurrence)
Finally, people are believing their thermometers.
Actually, I hope polls are never used regarding matters of science (this also goes for the IPCC consensus, AKA a glorified poll). As a system, this approach may suite our needs here and now, but cannot be counted upon to do so otherwise.
The science here is not so complicated that it cannot be properly explained to those who set policy. The problem is that most of those who found their way into a position to be the ones doing the explaining (to political staff) are themselves largely political - not scientific - creatures. They made their names in the arenas of policy, public relations, and media presentations. To them, the raw science is only useful where it fits a pre-made political template. Hell, most are “science advisers” regarding matters perhaps only tangentially related to their erstwhile professional research careers.
The end result is that the same bad science which directly informs political leaders also directly and indirectly informs the general public. You will find most lay people to be extremely flexible in what they accept as “scientific fact”, and this will be reflected in how readily the masses can shift their opinions despite no significant change occurring over the actual scientific landscape serving as a supposed foundation.
If popular sentiments shift in the next 12 months, I don’t want to be found arguing in favor of our own political execution (”we should follow the polls!”).
You are ALL missing the REAL story here:
Starting on November 5, the Obamessiah decreed that his herds of freshly-conjured, rainbow-farting unicorns would halt the rise of the oceans, etc., etc., etc.
SHEESH!!!! Don’t y’all know ANYTHING?
Both candidates were equally stupid in this regard. Also, if Congress continues with their globull warming crap, the electorate may turn on them, and I hope that does happen.
Reputation? Gore?
