It's time to pray for global warming, says Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson

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.

Dr. Kunihiko, Chancellor of Japan's Institute of Science and Technology said this: "CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or the other ... every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so." Now why would a learned man say such a crazy thing?

This is where the looney left gets lost. Their mantra is atmospheric CO2 levels are escalating and this is unquestionably causing earth's temperature rise. But ask yourself -- if global temperatures are experiencing the biggest sustained drop in decades, while CO2 levels continue to rise -- how can it be true?

Ironically, in spite of being shown false, we must now pray for it. Because a massive study, just released by the Russian Government, contains overwhelming evidence that earth is on the verge of another Ice Age.

Based on core samples from Russia's Vostok Station in Antarctica, we now know earth's atmosphere and temperature for the last 420,000 years. This evidence suggests that the 12,000 years of warmth we call the Holocene period is over.

Apparently, we're headed into an ice age of about 100,000 years -- give or take. As for CO2 levels, core samples show conclusively they follow the earth's temperature rise, not lead it.

It turns out CO2 fluctuations follow the change in sea temperature. As water temperatures rise, oceans release additional dissolved CO2 -- like opening a warm brewsky.

To think, early last year, liberals suggested we spend 45 trillion dollars and give up five million jobs to fix global warming. But there is good news: now that we don't have to spend any of that money, we can give it all to the banks.

They are burning Al Bore’s book on Gore-Bull warming to stay warm.

Sun is till pumping out sporadic Cycle 23 spots along with sporadic 24 spots. Next winter will be one for the ages. Based on solar influence alone it could be the worse winter many of us have experienced. Another Arctic blast hitting the US is predicted for this weekend. If our government consensus continues to claim that we must fight Global Warming, it will cease to be taken as a serious entity by the end of next winter.

Obama gets inaugurated tomorrow and, already, he’s saved us from global warming. He didn’t even have to do anything!

Hillary dear, one who passionarely proclaims we must cut our CO2 emissions to save the world, it is all about your EGO. You, a scientific illiterate in a world of objective analysis, must desperately be important and relevant, to satisfy your identity problems.

If you are intelligent like you think, and so desperately want to help the world, why didn't you just become a medical researcher, or a solar engineer, or an administering missionary?

What a bunch of buffoons!

Awesome! It was 80 degrees last weekend here in San Diego. Maybe you polar bears can move here and get our housing values up again. If not, we’ll just suffer it without you.

I live near Los Angeles and was freezing my nuts off about 3 1/2 weeks ago.

An Inconvenient Truth is now an inconvenient millstone hanging from Al Gore's neck.

Yes, where I live, it "only" got up to about 55 those days. The overnight lows were around 42. I couldn't stand it. Luckily, we have had about 2 weeks of temps over 70. Sweet!

The farther you live from the coast, the colder it can get overnight in the winter, but those areas tend to be warmer in Santa Anas, too. In the summer, as you well know, it gets very hot inland, while the coast stays moderate.

Point being, in a global cooling situation, which we have now, the warmer climes will be the place to be.
