Are these people the only fools on earth who still cling onto this global warming fraud? Everyone else in the world seems to pretty much know it was disclosed as a phony ‘science’.

Bunch of voodoo witch doctor crap...

So those warm nights in Iowa are actually harmful to corn growth. Could of fooled me. That’s the only time you can here the corn grow. They may fool some city folk and school children out collecting garbage for recycling, but a country hick will make idiots out of this group of scientists.

Isn’t NOAH one of the Nasa satellites? Wasn’t it just proven to have been giving garbage data...like having the temperature of the Great Lakes at 400 degrees or some such?

The truth is that ample CO2 actually enables plants to withstand drought conditions.

These people have gone into the "making stuff up out of the clear blue: phase.

Global warming does not cause droughts.

ice ages cause droughts,locking up all the water in massive ice caps.

during the last ice age, ca. 20,000 b.c., all continents were severly droughted, if I can use that as a verb.

I can’t get this through my friends’ heads.

Can I impose to suggest "rainless," if you ever run into the same problem again?

It’s all about “policy making” as the professor from U of Montana states - the Left has taken over Montana - too bad as it used to be a place where tough independent people lived. Or was that just hype?

Well the bishops and priests of “man-made” “global warming” need to either make up their minds, or realize they can’t keep speaking out of both sides of their mouths; the people are not as ignorant as the bishops and priests of the AGW religion think they are.

In an earlier report this week, we were told that “global warming” was causing greater precipitation.

So which is it - drought, greater precip, drought, greater precip, drought, greater precip - I guess it depends on which climate “crisis” of the moment they don’t want to “let go to waste”.

That’s why places like Florida, Louisiana and Panama are barren wastelands.

Flim-Flam. Science has long since discredited itself by succumbing to advocacy journalism, much the same as the once respectable Scientific American, which is now virtually a leftwing tabloid.
