Deadliest Catch: Discovery Channel States Bering Sea Is Cooling Yet Concludes Global Warming
NewsBusters ^ | July 26, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 07/26/2009 6:01:47 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

One of the favorite shows of your humble correspondent is "The Deadliest Catch." No, I have no fantasies about working on a crab boat in Alaska. I am too much of a warm weather guy to make it through even a day in the frigid conditions on the Bering Sea. However, I do enjoy watching the show quite a bit to the extent of visiting their website yesterday during a commercial break in "The Deadliest Catch" television marathon on the Discovery Channel.

On "The Deadliest Catch" home page is this link: SEA ICE SCIENCE...New! Is global warming changing the Bering Sea? Get the answers now. Curious for the answers, I clicked the link which brought me to Bering Sea Ice: Science Q&A by Helen Fields. The Q&A presents overwhelming evidence that the Bering Sea has been getting colder lately. The conclusion: global warming. Amazing.

Let us first read the evidence that Fields presents demonstrating the lowering temperatures in the Bering Sea area:

The Bering Sea, where the boats of Deadliest Catch do their work, is not known for toasty warm weather. But still, some years are colder than others. The last two winters have been particularly chilly -- and they've been huge years for ice. The last time the ice came this far south was in the early 1970s, when scientists first used satellites to monitor the ice.

We could enter and ice age and that would somehow be presented as evidence of global warming. Sort of disappointing to see the Discovery Channel blindly follow that theory.

I have made two predictions here which I will repeat: as a result of low solar activity, (1) the globe will cool noticeably in the near future. (2) There will be headlines which read, essentially, “Don’t let the current cool period distract you from the urgence of dealing with the deadly peril of global warming.”

When you watch some very interesting shows on discovery channel, you take the "liberal bias" with a grain of salt.

Isn't that typical of most educational institutions?

Maybe we could get the "Mythbusters" to do a show on "global warming!"

"Tonight we try to bust the myth that global warming is causing the increasing amounts of ice in the Bering Sea! Do not try this at home!"

Nope but I do have thin Floridian blood unable to tolerate the frigid Bering Sea temperatures. BTW, I bet there are a lot of fans of "The Deadliest Catch" watching from the warmth and comfort of their homes who think they could hack it as a member of a crab boat crew. Me? I'm realistic.

I guess there are fish in the warm waters out there.

This Texan will stick to eating cows.

What is interesting is how well meaning institutions fall for this "save the world" hype and are blinded to the real agenda, the genesis of which is the attempt to 1)transfer vast amounts of wealth from industrialized nations to third world nations and 2) reap fantastical profits for those in power that will control this transfer. "Cap and Trade" or "Carbon Trading" is the vehicle for this international criminal enterprise."

Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here.

It seems so many freepers are so willing to debate the "climate change" issue when the true issue is this transfer of wealth. Don't also be blinded to the true agenda.

Follow the money.

Man, you think that is bad you should watch the National Geographic Channel.

They tie Glo”Bull” Warming, Climate Change and we're all going to die into just about every show.

I predict the headlines will say, “Current global cooling is caused by and is proof of increasing global warming”.

Global Warmists have built-in Bablefish translators between themselves and the real world. That’s the only possible explanation for their disconnect from reality.

Get on board. When temperatures are rising it’s global warming and when temperatures are falling it’s climate change.

It really happens in just about all shows and movies, like the advertising against smoking.
