What happened to global warming?
BBC News ^ | Friday, 9 October 2009 | Paul Hudson

Posted on 10/10/2009 8:47:59 AM PDT by mtrott

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

Seems an appropriate news story, given the flood of December type air that is invading the country today!

And why do we seem to usually get this type story from the British press, never the US?

There is no money in global cooling. It’s like Capone said, you rob banks because that’s where the money is.

We have snow on the ground here in Minneapolis Minnesota this morning. One of the earliest recorded snowfalls in our history. Global Warming is a lie told by political con-men in an effort to part the people from their liberty in exchange for a false sense of security.

During the same period that we were observing signs of warming on Earth, we were also observing even more pronounced signs of global warming on Mars, Jupiter, Triton and Pluto.

Now that we are observing unmistakable signs of cooling on Earth, I wonder whether cooling is also being observed on Mars, Jupiter, Triton and Pluto?

I realize it is just a coincidence, since we all KNOW that Global Warming was caused by Bush and those damned SUVs, but it sure is a heck of a coincidence.

It is crisis time. The Global Warming industry must get Cap & Tax in place now, before it is too late. Soon, there will be no rubes left stupid enough to who believe Algore.

"It’s like Capone said, you rob banks because that’s where the money is."

FTI, Willie Sutton, not Capone said it. Capone never robbed banks. Wilie Sutton was a famous bank robber

Remember... it’s “Global CLIMATE Change,” now!

Global Climate Change is a much more useful "we are destroying the world" theory than Global Warming and Global Cooling ever were.

Is it warmer today than usual? It is Global Climate Change, caused by Bush and those damned SUVs.

Is it cooler today than usual? Yep, it is Global Climate Change.

Is it wetter, dryer, cloudier, less cloudy, windier, less windy? It doesn't matter! Whatever the weather is anywhere in the world it is proof positive of Global Climate Change.

Of course, it's Bush's fault.

Women and minorities hardest hit.

I have a buddy who was going to spend 2 weeks in/near Yellowstone. He came back 8 days early because the “leaves were already down and there was too much snow on the ground.”

This guy is an avid “environmentalist”. He’s anti fossil fuel, etc.

So I said, “yeah that global warming is terrible this year.”

His response: “it is a sign of global warming that it was so cold.”

huh? He was serious. He’s a smart guy too. meh.

“One thing is for sure. It seems the debate about what is causing global warming is far from over.” What the HECK!!!! Al Gore has said the ‘debate is over’. How could the CLIMATE WRITER from the BBC stray so far off the plantation to suggest the Goreacle might be wrong? Blasphemy I say! Burn this heretic at the stake!! Off with his head.

When even the liberal BBC starts questioning the ‘concensus’ about global warming, you know Gore’s head must be getting ready to explode. He and his Wall St fraudsters like Goldman Sachs, etc. stand to make billions selling worthless carbon credits to the sheeple. The cap and trade scam is the replacement for the sub-prime mortgage scam, which was the replacement for the dot com scam.

The cap and trade scam will be the most lucrative of all, because Goldman and the conspirators in gov’t will sell air which costs them 0$ for big money. The only comparable scam is the dutch tulip bulb scam of the 1600’s when a single bulb became as valuable as a house. These deniers must be stopped at all costs.

Environmentalists are like any cult followers: Any facts will be ignored or re-explained to fit their assumptions. They are religious true believers.

he UK Met Office's Hadley Centre, responsible for future climate predictions, says it incorporates solar variation and ocean cycles into its climate models, and that they are nothing new.

In fact, the centre says they are just two of the whole host of known factors that influence global temperatures - all of which are accounted for by its models.

Of course they are nothing new and of course you accounted for them in your model.

But your model is a mathematical model and the results of this formula depend on the mathematical weight that you give the solar cycle and ocean cycle.

The weight given to each input is a judgment call based on the theories that the scientist believes.

LOL - my liberal son said the same thing to me and I could tell even he knew it sounded ridiculous. LOL

So if we have a new ice age it will be the fault of global warming. Typical liberal backwards logic.

Actually it was Willie Sutton who said that.

It's not really about global warming. It is about an assault on economic progress by those with an anti-man attitude and a pathological fear and hatred of capitalism. The environmental movement is being used as a justification to destroy capitalism.
