A meeting is being held in my small Idaho city tomorrow for the purpose of initiating a local chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby, an entity which I had not previously known existed.
Its proponents insist that “Climate change is the defining issue of our times!!” And “It is far more than just an environmental issue. The issue is whether human civilization will be able to continue as the climate becomes less and less hospitable to our food production and survival. As such it is an inter-generational human rights issue” We are warned that “human suffering will increase at an exponential rate in the absence of serious action to curb carbon pollutions”
This blatherskite was written by a university professor. I will not attend the meeting, but will watch with much interest the progress in forming a local chapter.
Agenda over evidence.
We must act now before it’s too late.
I hope global warming goes on for a very long time. If it does not the planet will freeze into an ice ball within a week!
"Annual review of the world's climate" is an oxymoron.
First, let's review reality...
"...major ice ages have occurred over and over again, with ten of them affecting the planet in the past one million years and another ten in the million or so years before that. Each one persists for about 90,000 years, after which it is followed by an approximate 10,000-year interglacial."
Interglacial, for those in Rio Linda, very young children and members of WMO, are periods of enough warming to separate glacial periods, (D'OH!) approximately 10,000 years, before things start cooling down again.
Clearly, Climate differs from weather in a most dramatic way, said periods being defined in tens of thousands of years.
For the life of me I can't take any self-defined "scientists" seriously, who can't grasp that crucial definition of the endlessly repeating cycle.
Certainly, any discussion dealing with world temperatures since 1850 are playing with weather, not climate. And credible scientists should know that; hucksters do not.
No further comment should be necessary.
,,,and so will global cooling.
