If the global warming folks are right about CO2’s effect on temperatures, we better start building coal-fired power plants like crazy to mitigate this new ice age.

Poor Mother Nature. She knew this was coming and began trying to store up some extra heat to offset the arrival of the cooling, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO we humans just had to step in try to take over the care and feeding of the atmosphere and the running of Earth.

Remember the old margarine commercial with the punch line “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!”?

Thanks, Gorge, for the mandatory POS spiral fluorescent bulbs that we Must Buy in 2010.

BTW, what shall I do with my dimmer switches, Uncle Sugar? Also, this will change the look of all shades of paint. What a wonderful revenue generator for lighting companies (hello GE) and paint manufacturers.

Oh, what about the bio-hazard caused by the spent bulbs? Have you read what must be done to clean up a broken “Big Government” bulb?

Again, Thanks Gorge!

Maybe they just forgot to mention that an ice age always presages a warming trend.

Just last night I was watching cspan( yes I know I have no life), and the Governors Conference was on and this guy was talking about plans for carbon caps. Listening to the boobs we have for governors, it was scary. We are doomed and the taxpayers have no idea they are planing our doom, on purpose, in advance. They want to capture CO2 and inject it underground, for centuries! What if the earth farts? We all die.

And we pay more for this gasping death.

Reminds one of the classic Twilight Zone episode Midnight Sun.

"The word that Mrs. Bronson is unable to put into the hot, still, sodden air is 'doomed,' because the people you've just seen have been handed a death sentence. One month ago, the Earth suddenly changed its elliptical orbit and in doing so began to follow a path which gradually, moment by moment, day by day, took it closer to the sun. And all of man's little devices to stir up the air are now no longer luxuries - they happen to be pitiful and panicky keys to survival. The time is five minutes to twelve, midnight. There is no more darkness. The place is New York City and this is the eve of the end, because even at midnight it's high noon, the hottest day in history, and you're about to spend it in the Twilight Zone."

I assume that most on this board know the payoff to the episode.

Should the weather merely rebound to the average of the prior several years, then all of the press in unison with their co-Stalinists will be screaming about the greatest single-year increase in global temperature ever recorded.

I am worried that we have already lost the battle. They have managed to monopolize the sources of information, co-opt all the corrupt scientists they need, and denigrate the other side as “bought-off hacks” or “deniers”.

Our spineless CEOs and political leaders, with few exceptions, have seen the battle lost and are simply jumping on the bandwagon to ensure they are not left standing at the station when the train leaves.

They have already begun passing legislation in all corners of the globe and the thing is pretty much cemented.

I believe that if we stop warming or if we cool, their line will be, “The sun is responsible for the cooling but we need to accelerate the reduction of CO2 levels because when the Sun ‘returns to normal’ it will be that much worse with higher levels of CO2 than today”

In a sense they will claim that Mother Nature, our dear Gaia, has given us a reprieve, a little time to act before it will be too late.

Kind of brings a whole new meaning to “hockey stick”.
