Global warming is a cover for eugenics and population control they feel humans are pollution and should be cleansed. If you ever come across an environmentalist who does not want to cull the human population - they just havent got it
To: Cincinatus' Wife
No matter how much evidence is staring them in the face the ecos will never admit that GLOBAL WARMING is a fantasy based on junk science and carefully crafted data.
Thomas Sowell says that Liberalism needs a crisis and the end of the world is just too good a crisis to let a few facts and a little common sense dispel.

Great article, thanks.

Agreed. Environmentalism is fundamentally racist.

Global Warming is the original sin of capitalism, according to socialists, who managed to make us feel guilty about our acheivements. Once accepting this original sin, adopting the Kyoto Treaty relieves that guilt, and validates the junk science it is derived from.

My enviro conversation stopper is to say Leif Erikson FARMED southern Greenland before setting out for Newfoundland 1000 years ago.
I say I'll worry about Global Warming after I get solicitiations to purchase pastureland in Greenland.

APRIL SEVENTH AND I'M GETTING SIX FRIGGIN INCHES OF SNOW ARRRRGHHHHH!
Global warming my butt.

Leif Erikson FARMED southern Greenland before setting out for Newfoundland 1000 years ago. And when the Little Ice Age set in, things got REALLY ugly there. Nobody is sure what happened to the last Greenland settlements, but after awhile nobody heard from them any more . . .
There was a reason they called it "Greenland", originally.

Global Warming has been 'the goose that laid the golden egg' for the United Nations and the publish or perish scientists around the world. The Environmentalists have made GW their poster child and in doing so have wrecked havoc on expansion and progress around the world. Here is one of those publish or perish meetings and papers from those who make a living from GW.

The findings prove that the world experienced a Medieval Warm Period between the ninth and 14th centuries with global temperatures significantly higher even than today. This has been a known fact for a long time. It has only been the last 10 years through some sort of scientific genocide that these facts have been altered to match the theory of global warming. Global warming has to be the most dishonest scientific theory ever created.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Yeah, it's funny how the "Medieval Climate Optimum", which was warmer weather worldwide than exists today, has been glossed over and ignored by the enviro-weenies. The Sahara desert is also thought to have been smaller during this time, as well.

... Leif Erikson FARMED southern Greenland before setting out for Newfoundland 1000 years ago. John Cabot within 10 years of Columbus discovering America in 1492 was exploring what is now eastern Canada. His explorations took him into the mouth of the St. Lawrence River where he reported finding an abundance of grapes. Having some knowledge of that area I can assure you grapes haven't grown in that neck of the woods in a long, long time.

I had heard this before. The population boom of the Medieval period is partly explanined by this little warming period due to longer growing seasons in Europe.

none of this is news to me, or any student of history.
there were TWO "little ice ages" in the Middle Ages.
One began in the 500's AD, the other in the 1300's. The latter was moe severe than the former.
One question the eco-weenies never like to be asked:
"If the global average temperature increase on Earth over the past 30 years can have been caused ONLY by human activities, what is causing a similar (if slightly greater) global rise in average temperature during the same time period... on MARS???"
Don't take my word for it - visit the NASA website and snoop around a bit; the data is there.

Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales was studied by almost all high school students before the great dumbing down of the contemporary period. Written in the late 14th century, some of the "tales" describe grape-growing and wine-making in England.

This is from a friend's e-mail:
James Burke talks about this in "Connections" -- The 13th was THE GREATEST OF CENTURIES, because the weather had never been so good ...
The way the "North Atlantic Conveyor Belt" works is that if you pump enough warm water up to the ice caps, they melt, releasing fresh water into the North Atlantic ... Since fresh water is lighter than salt water, the polar water stays at the surface while the warming tropical water sinks ... This creates what you can think of as a wall of fresh water that blocks the Gulf Stream from getting to Europe ... Thus cooling the climate and tripping off the next ice age ...
That is the real danger of global warming : That it will cause an ice age ...
In that "paradigm," more evidence of a warm middle ages doesn't discredit global warming ... It is also troubling in highlighting how the global temperature changes quickly ...
The evidence also shows that the period of the Roman Empire was very warm and things cooled down after 450, bringing the "Dark Ages" ...
Since the earth itself pours out more gases than we do, I'm not very worried about most "greenhouse" gases, though the extremely odd chemicals we produce are best regulated, because they will last longer than plutonium ... For carbon, methane, water vapor, etc., cows and termites are the main sources, not man ...
Something Steven Gould said is right ... to focus on man instead of bacteria is to focus on the tail, not the dog ...
