Environmental Says Blizzard Consistent with 'Global Warming' Trend

.."well, if you say so, but I would rather clean coal! "

Whatever for? Nuclear is the cleanest, safest possible form of energy currently available to humanity. It would be the cheapest, as well, without the artificial constraints and delays formulated by the anti-nuke eco-whackos.

I heard some idiot the other day trying to explain that the recent severe weather is still consistent with global warming. His reasoning was that so many people were out of work that we were not creating as many greenhouse gases, but that when the economy improves it would be back to record heat again.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, what I would believe, is that the climate constantly changes, always has, always will.

The funny thing to me about environmentalists is that they study change and 'evolution' of the environment over the millenia in school, but they don't realize, I guess, that the world will always be changing. It isn't a question of whether it should, it just will change. They seem to think that now that we are studying the environment, we should "freeze-frame" everything. It is folly. Both as a goal, and as a perception of the power we really have.

[thetruckster]

Nah. Bush didn't do this one, if it exists. I had heard twenty years ago that bad winters were consistent with El Nino. But it does seem like the intervals between El Ninos is shortening. Maybe it is those underground water heater spouts National Geographic wrote about this month. Maybe they are cranking from way down below the increased CO2 that supposedly is causing global warming.

[Renegade]

Yeah, and because the space program poked so many holes in the atmosphere our weather will never return to normal.

"Our system is becoming out of balance. That means we may have much, much hotter summers, and we may have much, much drier winters. We may have an increased frequency of extreme storms like hurricanes and tornados," she added.

Basically she has no idea what will happen.

[thetruckster]

"Their first court case was to get DDT banned."

Was that a bad thing?

Black is white...right is wrong...left is right....gurgle...gurgle...gurgle....

"Our system is becoming out of balance. That means we may have much, much hotter summers, and we may have much, much drier winters. We may have an increased frequency of extreme storms like hurricanes and tornados," she added."

Not Human caused but right out of the Bible.

[WriteOn]

Double talk: all we can say is it is changing. Our models say it is going to be different! I suspect the Farmer's Almanac has it right as often.

Yah, so what?

"The world is facing dire consequences if no policy action is taken, according to Carey".

Translation: Give us more money so we can raise our salaries, re-do our offices, buy new vehicles, etc.

The way they set up the experiment was to have 2 separate studies of chickens and the effect on the number of eggs they would produce. Each one had a control group of non-applied DDT--you would think that the number of eggs produced would be about the same, but they varied widely. One group was 16.8 per hen and the other group was 39.2 per hen--obviously something else was involved and they should have found out what it was. In fact they found that the first set of birds had 17% less fertilization than those fed DDT--rather than honest research, they discarded the first control group. This study was called the Paxtuxent Study--I got this information from the book "Trashing the Economy by Ron Arnold and Alan Gottlieb. In answer to your question, I don't think anyone knows if DDT is harmful or not--they never performed an honest study, but this info gave them victory in court. The point is, their study of Global Warming is being performed in exactly the same way. The banning of DDT cost American farmers a lot of money and reduced their productivity. The Kyoto agreement is an attempt to do exactly the same thing--reduce productivity in the better economies....

[WilliamWallace1999]

Yes, banning DDT without proof of causation was a bad thing. As a result of DDT banning, the death rate from malaria is on the rise world-wide. It is another case of the needs of some animal over the needs of man. Can you tell me what it was the DDT did that was so bad?

[farmfriend]

Carey believes the U.S. can achieve both economic growth and reductions in greenhouse gases with "market-based mechanisms."

Since when have environmentalist advocated market based solutions?

free-market environmental think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute

Carry - What do you know about these people? Do you think they would be interested in talking to you?

[snopercod]

I see that the greens have discovered the Magillicutty Constant.

That's the magic number we always used in school to adjust our experimental results to make them match the theoretical outcome.

[Don Corleone]

Seems that this man-made global warning is causing all sorts of weather. I wonder if these geniuses would predict that global cooling would cause the same stuff.

Actually, about 20 years ago they did!

[gg188]

From the people who brought you "evolution," we now present, GLOBAL WARMING.

It snows? Global warming.
Drought? Global warming.
Blizzard? Global warming.
Tornado? Global warming.

Record high number of hurricanes in a season? Global Warming.

Record LOW number of hurricanes in a season (like none or one)---it's GLOBAL WARMING.

I guess they figure that if they can get a generation of people to buy the adult fairy tale of evolution, or to believe that Japan was the agressor in WWII, or that oral sex isn't sex, then I guess they can get people go buy this scam. It gives a new dynamic to "the Darwin Award." ...i.e., anyone who a) buys Darwin, and b) buys "global warming."

[RightWhale]

even if we enter a new ice age

An Ice Age is the strongest evidence for Global Warming. Well, there is one datum even stronger: when the oceans freeze to the bottom, or boil off, either way.
