Amy Goodman: Extreme weather calls for aggressive action on global warming (Extreme Idiot Alert)
madison.com ^ | Aug. 12, 2010 | Amy Goodman

Posted on 08/12/2010 3:32:47 PM PDT by PROCON

Our daily weather reports, cheerfully presented with flashy graphics and state-of-the-art animation, appear to relay more and more information. And yet, no matter how glitzy the presentation, a key fact is invariably omitted. Imagine if, after flashing the words “extreme weather” to grab our attention, the reports flashed “global warming.” Then we would know not only to wear lighter clothes or carry an umbrella, but that we have to do something about climate change.

Ultimately, policy in the United States, the greatest polluter in human history, must be changed.

No hidden agenda here, no!

Jupiter’s Spots Disappear Amid Major Climate Change
By Robert Roy Britt
Senior Science Writer
posted: 01:00 pm ET
21 April 2004

Jupiter is undergoing major climate change and could lose many of its large spots over the next seven years, only to make way for the creation of fresh spots in a decades-long cycle, according to a new explanation of old mysteries.

While the analysis remains to be proven, it is seen by other researchers as interesting and, importantly, testable even with large backyard telescopes.

Mankind cannot alter the climate in any way. CO2 can’t do it, lowering CO2 emissions won’t lower surface temperatures.

It has been mathematically proven by Ferenc Miskolczi, former NASA contractor. NASA censored the discovery and Miskolczi resigned in protest.

Temperatures go up = global warming
Temperatures go down = global warming
Lots of snow = global warming
No snow = global warming
Many hurricanes = global warming
Few hurricanes = global warming

Wow, I should have liberals manage my money. They sure know how to hedge their bets.

lol

Are they still trying to push this lie about warming?

I guess they didn’t hear about South America being so cold recently that it killed all the fish and crocks in the rivers.

Someone should tell Amy if she has three thermometers: two thermometers read 75 and the third reads 76, the average is not 75.333 . . . . The average can be no more precise than the least precise thermometer.

Can someone please teach these public school graduates mathematics. Please.

IN THE BEGINNING there was weather, weather continued until now, and it appears that weather will be present until it isn’t.

Now, send me is my grant money?

“Weather is not climate....”

No, wait, that’s only when it’s very very much colder than normal.

Never mind.

Man Made Global Warming uses the same calm, cool hysteria of people who used to be terrified that every person in China would be all ordered to stand on chairs, then, at a precise moment, they would all jump off their chairs onto the floor. And in doing so, would knock the planet Earth out of its orbit and destroy us all.

Unlikely, as the Earth has a mass of about 6 sextillion metric tons, and the current approximate (liberal) weight of 150 per person in China, works out to a grand total of 88.4 million metric tons.

That is, 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 mt, and 88,400,000 mt.

This would be about the same as a single virus throwing itself against one of your cells, and knocking you off your feet.

While MMGW isn’t that ridiculous, the idea of a human released fraction of a trace gas, pushing around the atmosphere and oceans of the Earth, is pretty silly.

There's nothing wrong with their mathematics. Their grasp of statistics is rather poor, however....
