OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Excellent assessment. I have made the same or simiar arguments for about 15 years.
The Twin Cities’ weather forecast for Saturday is for cold te4mperatures, cold enough to set a new records for cold on March 2nd.
In central Minnesota we have 24 inches of snow on the ground and some of that snow has been there for almost 2 months - we have not had a decent thaw since the New Year.
It’s all about C O N T R O L.

“Is global warming real; or, more specifically, has the surface air temperature risen about 0.6°C (1.08°F) since the late 1800s? The answer also is “YES,” and on that there is little debate.
Do humans affect the Earth’s climate? Again, the answer is “YES” with little debate. We can point to the urban heat island—for example, the Washington metropolitan area is warmer than the surrounding countryside due to the urban city and this has been widely studied. Because of impervious surfaces and the increased water demand of urbanized areas, floods and drought frequencies and intensities also are affected.”
Second answer negates the first one. Is the temp going up? we don’t really know because the thermometers are in the “heat islands” he talks about in the second argument.
Wouldn’t the right way to say that is to “start”, not “conclude” each talk???
They may have relabeled it “Climate Change”, but it’s still the same old mantra of anthropogenic global warming, with sea rise as the impending threat to humanity. They carefully try to hide the obvious fact that sea rise has been happening since before the advent of the industrial age.
An article from a recent expedition to the “Blue Hole”:
“In a more recent blog post about the expedition, Bergman described more of the unusual features they found in the sinkhole that is 407 feet deep and more than 1,000 feet across.
She said one area they studied in detail was stalactite caverns that are 130 to 160 feet deep. These mineral icicles formed when the Great Blue Hole was a dry cave and dripping water left calcium salt deposits.
“These enormous stalactites have now been entirely encrusted in marine growth,” Bergman wrote.
The limestone and calcium carbonate walls of the sinkhole are terraced in spots, evidence of erosion that happened after sea level rose. Between the terraces, Bergman said, the walls are smooth and erosion-free because sea level rose rapidly then.”
David Lagates has always been in the camp of skeptics. He was pushed out of the role as official Delaware Climatologist for his views.
Consider that CO2 is only 0.04% of our atmosphere and that the sun is without question the major driver of our global climate. While CO2 is a green house gas, parts per million increases in CO2 would have negligible impact on the planets climate compared to long known fluctuations of solar output. Some 20,000 years ago most of the northern hemisphere was covered with sheets of ice in some places more than a mile thick. Within about a 1,000 years that ice melted and the ice sheets retreated to the northern polar regions. No CO2 global warming theory can explain this proven massive shift in global climate. Obviously our planets complex climate cannot reasonably be attributed to minute changes in a single variable or we would routinely see major global warming each time there is a large scale volcanic eruption that dumps tons of CO2 and other potent greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. On the contrary major volcanic eruptions like Krakatoa in the early 19th century and Mt. Pinatubo in the late 20th century did produce measurable global cooling. However in neither case was there a tipping point producing irreversible climate change and the earth’s climate returned to equilibrium.
Thanka for posting this. Excellent summary. I’m bookmarking this to send to my pastor.
