Climate Science: Noted scientists at a Chicago climate conference declare that global warming is not only dead, but that the planet faces a big chill for decades to come. What about those frozen wind turbines?
It’s not exactly Copenhagen or Kyoto, but the 700 scientists attending the fourth International Conference on Climate Change, sponsored by the Heartland Institute, had some chilling news of their own in the most liberal sense.
“Global warming is over — at least for a few decades,” Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, told the gathering. “However, the bad news is that global cooling is even more harmful to humans than global warming, and a cause for greater concern.”
Easterbrook and 74 other presenters at the conference said what everyone already knows, having shoveled record amounts of global warming off our sidewalks and driveways last winter.

One thing I have learned about Global Whatever is that the globe is gonna do what the globe is gonna do, and we are along for the ride, like it or not.
Another thing I have learned is that if you put the us federal government in charge of saving or destroying anything, nothing will be saved or destroyed, because the us government cannot do anything successfully.
I presume Algore has enough heaters and fireplaces to keep is fat ass warm.
I’m thinking a planet sized speed stick fits in here somewhere.
Okay, the Sterno coke can menthol alcohol stove will rule. My appologies for the earlier post that was off topic... :-)
Two words are off my radar...they are “green” and “global”. I hear either and I see rabid environuts and algore...neither of which helps my appetite very much.
Sounds like we’re going to have a lot of time to spend by the wood stove reading up on “global warming” over the next few decades. Maybe if we have a large enough candle, we’ll reach the part explaing how “global warming” was a hoax.
Are we talking about ‘Man made global cooling?’
And yet the dimcrit lemmings continue their march towards the crap’n trade abyss. Words cannot express...
Basically cut everwhere else but their own.
Does this mean that Pelosi’s “Cap and Trade” becomes the “Ice Brigade”?
TRUE.
It is also true that the Earth has undergone volcanoes,earthquakes, asteroid strikes,glaciation, extreme weather, and yet even the most 'uninhabitable' parts of the planet are thriving with life.
Life will go on. Earth will change. We adapt, or die. No exceptions to the rule.

Here is th econcurring opinion in a Washington State Supreme Court case that some may find interesting.
159 Wn. 2d. 436, Jan. 2007 Okeson v. City of Seattle
30 SANDERS, J. (concurring) - [1-10]I concur in the majority’s conclusion however object to its obiter dictum that the general governmental purpose of combating globalwarming, at least as it was done here, is “a meritorious one . . . .” Majority at 439.
¶31 On this record Seattle City Light’s program of paying others not to emit greenhouse gases has about as much effect on global warming as making a bonfire out of ratepayers’ hard-earned dollars. Let us consider the following:
There are uncertainties about whether warming will really be bad (think longer growing seasons), but let’s assume that cutting carbon dioxide emissions is a desirable goal.
Jan. 2007 Okeson v. City of Seattle 454
159 Wn. 2d. 436
The nations that signed the Kyoto Protocols on global warming agreed to cut their emissions in the future. If each of them made the sacrifices of full compliance (the betting is that few will even come close), and those measures worked as expected, the world would end up only a tenth of a degree cooler.
And if that big an effort gets no results, state and local government policies can only be empty gestures. Economic activity will shift away from them toward other areas or nations - remember that China and India are exempt from the agreement.

J.M. JOHNSON , J., concurs with SANDERS , J.
I guess I don't understand your point, but here ya go:
HOLY GIANT PICTURES, BATMANG, SIZE THAT THING DOWN SO I CAN SEEZ IT WITH MY GLASSES ON!
"Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought."
(at least until we massage the data ...)
