Does Snow in London and Global Warming Mix?

Apparently the answer to the question is a resounding, "Yes!".

from www.theregister.co.uk/ by Andrew Orlowski / 29th October 2008 12:35 GMT

Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time, in a marathon six hour session.

I think God does this sort of thing to get a laugh. Do you think those inside the building cared about the unseasonable weather? (That is a rhetorical question.)

Of course not.

The bill creates an enormous bureaucratic apparatus for monitoring and reporting, which was expanded at the last minute.

One of the problems with the Global Warming Crowd is that they will take this unseasonable snow in London and say, "See! Global Warming is causing wide swings in the weather!" not, "Gosh! Weather changes from year to year."

We cannot win against such ridiculous reasoning as theirs.

But it does appear that the strangle hold the Global Warming Fanatics is loosening.

Recently the American media has begun to notice the odd incongruity of saturation media coverage here which insists that global warming is both man-made and urgent, and a British public which increasingly doubts either to be true. 60 per cent of the British population now doubt the influence of humans on climate change, and more people than not think Global Warming won't be as bad "as people say".

Perhaps all we need now is a way to make the Global Warming Idiots have to pay for the entirety of their plans to play God and control the weather. If we manage to remove taxpayer dollars from the equation they will find themselves digging into their own pockets and that will last how long? (another rhetorical question....)

War On Global Warming A Success!

(From ACK News Service) June 23, 2012 - Today, Gene Poole, AlGore's right hand person, announced that the war on global warming has been won. Said Mr. Poole through his secretary, Helen Back:

"We've finally managed to get a controlling hold on greenhouse gases. The earth is now cooling and doing so faster than we anticipated. In fact so much so that large sections of the jungles in South America, Africa and Asia are dying off for lack of carbon dioxide. The growth of the ice packs and glaciers is not helping either. We are now directing our efforts at getting people to leave a larger carbon footprint. Mr AlGore is doing his part by leaving all the lights on in all his mansions 24 hours a day. We politely request everyone on earth do the same. Oh! And if you must fly please do so in a private jet. Thank you.

Ileane Left, spokesperson for 'No More Carbon', an environmentalist group, said, "We didn't know that all life on Mother Earth is carbon based. I blame it on our school system for not teaching us that. Sorry for the damage we've done. But no, we are not giving back the donations we've collected. We will need that money to rent private jets."

Military Memories (page 1)

This is the first installment of what might be the first of many or perhaps the only "Military Memories" posting. That is, my somewhat fading remembrance of my U.S. Army Days in the early seventies.

SATURDAY!

(Ft Sam Houston TX - Early 70's) Greatest day of the week if you don't count Sunday. I did count Sunday so it was really the second greatest day but close enough to first to fill me with joy. It was about 1100 hrs and the barracks were pretty much empty. Just a few of us hanging around and it was a nice quiet day. I was laying on my bunk enjoying a book. If I remember correctly (And I might not be) it was The Death and Life of Harry Goth

Suddenly the sound of a truck stopping outside the barracks, one of the doors opening, a sargent, a stranger to all, appears and says (while jabbing his finger at everyone in the room), "You, you, you, you, you, you and you. Outside! Into the truck! The General's Wife wants a rock garden."

"What is this?" someone said. (It might have been me. I certainly thought it.)

"Look", said the sargent. "I don't like this any more than you do. The General's Wife got it in her head to have a cactus garden with a bunch of rocks. I got saddled with the job of getting a detail to gather the rocks. You got saddled with the job of being that detail. The sooner we get the rocks and drop 'em in her yard the sooner you can get back to your bunks."

At that point in our lives we did not know that we could sue the General's Wife nor that she was misusing government property (we G.I.'s) not to mention the destruction of the environment by having us take rocks from point A to point B. (The earth is still reeling from the impact. Watch AlGores movie, An Inconvenient Truth and he mentions this event in the middle somewhere). We were naive back then. Little did we know we were impacting the GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE.

So, as ordered, we climbed into the back of the deuce and a half truck. Made ourselves comfortable. (Thats a joke son!) and wished we were driving the damn thing so we could at least have an idea of where we were going.

So much for SATURDAY!

Well, The truck finally stops in the middle of the Texas desert (which is what is Fort Sam Houston is mostly composed of). We climb out and the sargent explains that he doesn't want little bitty rocks but real good sized ones so the General's Wife can have a real good rock garden and no future soldier will have to come out into the middle of this God forsaken desert and get more of the damn rocks.

The way he said it we were doing this for our children's children...

So we started picking up rocks and throwing them into the back of the truck. Good sized ones like he said to get. Good Lord! We got into the spirit of the job. We did enjoy the sound of the rocks landing in the truck. Sometimes two guys would manhandle a rock up to the truck and it would take three of 'em to lift the sucker in. I, of course would supervise just to make sure they did it right.

Well! It didn't take long before all the loose big rocks were in the truck and then we took to digging and yanking a bit to get 'em out of the ground. Would have helped to have a crowbar but there were enough of the rocks that had edges a body could grab onto and yank 'em free then carry 'em to the truck.

I found a good size rock that was just like that. Sort of a corner I could grab onto and yank on and up it came easy as pie. (Not the kind of pie mom used to make. Maybe I should compare it to fruitcake...)

Only one difference from this rock and the few others I had snatched from Mother Earth (Gaia). This one had a few bugs under it that instantly started running in circles in the depression where the rock had once hidden them. I realized at this point I was disturbing the ecology of the desert and let the rock settle back to it's rightful place of being.

I knew then that we were doing wrong.

So I walked up to the sargent and explained to him in words he could understand how I felt about our rapine of Mother Earth (Gaia).

I said, "I quit!"

"What?" said the sargent?

"I quit! I'm not moving another rock!"

"You can't quit! You're in the Army!"

"Cum'meer! ... Lift up that rock!!!" I said and pointed to the exact one where I had disturbed God's creatures beneath it.

I said this with such authority that the man had no choice but to do my bidding. Even though he outranked me he lifted the rock, saw the nest of scorpions I had beheld and was not as gentle as I when he dropped it back on the half dozen or so scorpions. (We both failed to count them.)

"OK men! That's enough rocks for the General's Wife. Get back in the truck!"

I was so glad that the sargent had common sense. He too recognised that Mother Earth (Gaia) is not to be trifled with.

We rode in the back of the deuce and a half with our feet on the seats in case any of God's creatures similar to the nest of scorpions had ended up in the truck. No one dozed during the trip. Some of our lively discussion was about spiders as well as scorpions. We quickly but cautiously dumped the rocks in front of the General's Wife's house and rode back to the barracks with our feet still on the seats. Just in case...

Moral of this story: Don't hang around the barracks on Saturday morning!

Global Warming IS a Swindle!

Watch the BBC Documentary on this subject

UK (C4) Documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle

prying1 sez: Next time you meet someone that is says man made global warming is a scientific fact please explain to them that they can donate their money to fix it but they should not insist on stealing yours. The puppets for the global warming con artists need to be directed to this BBC produced show.

Put AlGore out of business.

Total Lunar Eclipse Saturday 3 Mar 07

Just a heads up that there will be a Total Lunar Eclipse this Saturday.

The Moon will blush red as it passes through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse on Saturday. From most locations on Earth, at least part of the 6-hour eclipse will be visible if skies are clear.

The Earth’s shadow will completely cover the Moon during the most dramatic phase, which will last a little more than an hour – from 2244 to 2357 GMT.

http://space.newscientist.com has the story with a link to a GMT conversion table.

The deepest part of the eclipse, when the Moon is completely covered by Earth’s shadow, will be visible from all of Europe, Africa, and in Asia westward of central China. It will also be visible in central and eastern North America and all of South America.

From most locations, the Moon will be up for at least part of the eclipse (scroll down for a map of where it will be visible). The eclipse will not be observable at all in a swath of the Pacific Ocean stretching from northwestern Canada to eastern Australia.

prying1 wonders if perhaps Earth's (Gaia's) shadow will contribute to moonal cooling.

He wonders if the Earth (Gaia) is sucking heat from the moon during this process in an attempt to melt it's polar icecaps. He is collecting money to help stop this trend if indeed it is happening. He takes PayPal...

The Ego of Global Warming

CTV.CA has a wonderful article concerning global warming. (They are against it)

I say wonderful because it reinforces my belief that the entire global warming issue is based on two things. Ego and money.

Authoritative report to confirm global warming

Scientists and government officials are finishing a much-awaited report expected to say that climate change is real, serious and that human influence on it is undeniable.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release the report on Friday at a news conference in Paris, although a simultaneous one will be held in Ottawa.

"The climate's changing and it's going to change some more no matter what we do -- particularly if we keep consuming so many fossil fuels," Michael McCracken, the Climate Institute's chief scientist, said Monday in Washington.

"They say 'think globally, act locally', so we're hoping that it will convince people ... that climate change is real and that we have a responsibility for much of it, and that we really do have to make changes in how we live," Kenneth Denman told reporters in Paris.

He's co-author of the report and a senior scientist at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis.

Both of these scientists would have to get real jobs if the report said 'global warming' is something that happens in spite of man not because of man. There is money involved here. BIG BUCKS! Taxpayer money.

Through the entire existence of planet earth there has been climate changes. The pittance of time man has been on the scene we really have not seen any climate changes. (Have you seen an ice age recently?) Now a group of money hungry fanatics tell us that the mean temperature of planet earth must remain stable for all eternity or devastation will occur sometime in the future. (Chicken Little comes to mind)

The egos and self centeredness that's involved here is mind numbing to me. "We will control the weather" is what these fraudsters are saying. And it is on the working man's dime.

The article has this bit in it:

Some scientists say that within a century, rising sea levels could swallow most of Prince Edward Island and threaten cities like Halifax and Vancouver. However, others say that's an unlikely scenario.

Early drafts of the document forecast that by 2100 the sea level will rise between 12.7 and nearly 58.5 centimetres.

Many top scientists reject those figures. A study published in the peer-review journal Science this month predicted an increase of nearly 51 to 140 centimetres by 2100.

~~~ and ~~~

The debate matters to policy makers because without accurate estimates, they won't know how to plan coastal development.

Well prying1 has the real plan. We are talking 60 inches here max by their worst estimates. Less than two yards.

You ready?

Drum Roll Please!!!

Put buildings, wharfs, piers and such a bit higher...

Sort of anticlimactic huh?

Now should I demand taxpayer money for that? Why not? Our politicians and scientists are!

I've got another idea that involves a giant cork to stop volcanic activity.

HEY! one more thing. These people ever get on Cristo for the stuff he does that affects wind paterns?

Carbon Dioxide Scam Revisited

Today while checking my site stats I noticed someone had hit my prying1 blog post concerning the Carbon Dioxide Lawsuit against the EPA by various states and environmental groups. Someone from Australia had searched for "carbon dioxide scam". (WITH "quotes") - At the time of this posting my blogpost was the ONLY real hit Google had for that search with quotes. Two were Technorati and Kinja Weblog Guide which both pointed to my blogposting. The third was a WJZ News story that I had linked in my posting. The WJZ story did not have the word scam in it.

Taking out the quotes I found several stories that support my point of view which is that the Global Warming issue is a scam. My main question is, "If we give every dollar on the planet to Al Gore will he be able to control the weather?" - I think not. -

~~~~~~

The Kansas City Star on 1 Dec 06 had two unaccredited letters to the editor on their opinion page.

One letter was PRO the Lawsuit and stated: ... "Two previous EPA findings during the Clinton administration concluded that the agency has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Bush administration has subverted the EPA’s purpose by taking the wrong side in this case." ...

President Bush has said, "the globe is warming. The fundamental debate: Is it manmade or natural?"

The other letter was CON the Lawsuit and stated: ..."Saying that there’s man-made global warming is not enough, legally: The plaintiffs have to show they have standing by proving actual injury and that relief would fix that injury. And given the scientific facts in total, not just the side of the man-made global warmists, nothing is incontrovertible."

~~~~~

Then there is this:

''We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto. ... The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

''There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing (or will in the foreseeable future cause) catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.''

The carping of an oil-industry flack? The ignorant mutterings of fringe antienvironmentalists?

No. It is a petition signed by nearly 17,000 US scientists, half of whom are trained in the fields of physics, geophysics, climate science, meteorology, oceanography, chemistry, biology, or biochemistry. The statement was circulated by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine along with an eight-page abstract of the latest research on climate change. The abstract - written for scientists but comprehensible by laymen - concludes that there is no basis for believing (1) that atmospheric CO2 is causing a dangerous climb in global temperatures, (2) that greater concentrations of CO2 would be harmful, or (3) that human activity leads to global warming in the first place.

From Jeff Jacoby - Boston Globe Columnist on 11/05/98 - thanks to Man Made Global Warming Debunking News and Views for posting the above

~~~~~

prying1 sez: Before we start handing out money willy nilly to The Chicken Littles of this world we should first of all decide a: Are their claims true? and b: Can they do anything about it if they are given hard earned tax dollars. 17,000 Scientists have signed a paper saying that the claims by the "THE SKY IS FALLING" crowd are false.

I say we should demand the MSM report both sides of the issue. My little blogpost should not be the only place on the internet that gets hits when"carbon dioxide scam" is typed into Google.

Perhaps the EPA should file a counter-lawsuit...
