Just give it a few weeks if this story gets major media play and all the polutants that we are putting into the air that are causing global warming will now be the cause of global cooling.

So much conflicting scientific analysis must drive liberals crazy.

I have been thinking about *why* liberals believe that the world is getting hotter due to human activities.

Apart from the obvious reason that claiming that humans have caused global warming allows liberals to seize controlover more people (a very important motivator), I think there is another reason for this apparently unscientific belief.

If the world *is* getting hotter (which is very debatable), it is either getting hotter because of something within their control (other humans) or because of something outside their control (the sun or other natural processes).

I think they get so freaked out by something happening which is NOT subject to their control, that they all conclude that it MUST be caused by other (bad) humans. If it involves other humans, then laws will make it right. And they can feel in control.

If it is because of the sun, they feel totally impotent and valueless. Since most liberals don't (really) believe in a supreme being, their own sense of control over the world is supremely important to them. Anything that destroys that sense of control will plunge them into despair and result in an overreaction of trying to control the (innocent) activities of other people.

Hey, I live in Alaska and we're having the coldest winter in 10 years now. I don't want it to get any colder!

You could go skiing in the hill country. A shorter drive than to Colorado or New Mexico. However the houses and water systems in south Texas are not built for winters similar to what Buffalo or Syracuse New York get! Lots of broken plumbing!

Darn ... since I live between Waco and Austin, I was hoping to get some ocean-front property.
