Man-Made Climate Change Causes "Snow Rage" in Quebec

Maybe the Canucks could hire this guy to referee...

Record snowfall, snow cover and cold records set throughout the world likely won't dampen the enthusiasm of the man-made climate changers.

Neither will one more story frost the heat of man-made climate change frenzies.

Reuters reports that across Canada, incidents of "snow rage" are breaking out as people lose their cool over the huge amounts of snow.

Disputes over parking spaces and snow removal have been been reported especially heated in Quebec, where police have been called to an alarming number of arguments about snow blowing from one property to another. About a dozen turned violent.

Recent Canadian winters have been mild but this one looks set to break all-time records for snow. One storm last weekend dumped 23 inches on the capital Ottawa and 19 inches on Quebec City, which has already received 210 inches this year. The drifts outside some houses are 12 feet and higher.

Last Sunday, a man in an upscale Quebec City neighborhood became so upset a woman from a snow removal service was putting snow on his yard that he shouted at her and then took a shovel and hit the window of the vehicle she was driving.

"The woman apologized and returned to work ... a bit later the man opened his garage door and emerged with a shotgun, pointed it at the ground and looked at her in a threatening way," said police spokeswoman Catherine Viel.

Police arrested the man, who will be charged with negligent use of a firearm, and seized a total of 13 weapons from his home. Viel said snow-related fights were unusually common.

"It's happened particularly often this year ... you have to be used to snow if you live in Quebec but it's been a bit extreme this year. People are fed up," she said.

The hot tempers may not cool for awhile yet, since Environment Canada indicates there is no signs that winter is about to end. It snowed once more in Ottawa and the City of Quebec last week.

Montreal is also having problems disposing of the snow. One massive mound is around 80-feet high and officials told reporters that unless steps were taken to dismantle the pile, much of it would still be there when next winter started.

We fully realize that weather and climate is a tricky thing: hard to predict and given to cycles of hot and cold.

Because of this record winter, which has negated the tiny average gain of the last 30 years, we're not calling for carbon tax credits, reduced economic activity, more taxes and regulation--for global cooling.

We know that climate and weather are incredibly hard for man to influence.

Eighty-foot snow drifts, record amounts of snow--even for Canada--and no end in sight.

What's an inconvenient troofer to do?

Global Warming: 12 Feet of Snow Hits Watertown, NY

Pixelaneous #34



The news just came out this week that Al Gore has made over $37 million since he left office in 2000.

His net worth in the last 7 years reportedly went from under $2 million to over $100 million--much of it from pimping the dangers of man-made climate change.

Gore's speaking fees were reported as $175,000 a pop--and up.

This is up near Watertown NY ...talk about some snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




One area had 146 inches of snow in 2 weeks !!!!!






146 inches of snow!



That's over 12 feet of snow.






The last pimp for global warming tried to leave Watertown, but was snowed in--last we heard.









Will anyone make a movie about Watertown's run-in with man-made climate change?






I have a feeling that Algore would get his ass
kicked around here.

Al Gore, Environmentalism: Every Religion Needs Its Savior

16 Pictures of Saint Al, the EnviroChrist



Every religion needs its saints and Environmentalism is no different.

And Al Gore has been lobbying for the position of EnviroChrist for years now.

Environmentalism is truly a matter of belief and dogma. Unbelievers or heretics are branded as "deniers". One of the holy scriptures is in modern movie form, "An Inconvenient Truth".

The same people who ridicule Tom Cruise as a tool of Scientology will gladly point to the record low temperatures, record snowfalls and decidely un-Global Warming temperatures around the world as--proof that the earth is getting warmer.

Truly, to be an advocate of the Church of Man-Made Climate Change, one must have a faith as rock solid as any Christian.



We were looking for a few pictures by RidesAPaleHorse on his EnviroChrist theme and came across some others of Al Gore, Saint of the First Church of the Man-Made Climate Change.



Click on the images to enlarge them. If you are skeptical of the Global Warming crusade, you may chuckle at these pictures.

If you are a believer, then you may want to blow one of these up and set up a small shrine to the Goracle in your bedroom or den.






We've also included a few on the theme of Al Gore, Environmentalism saint and savior.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we did when we were sorting them out for this post.























Al Gore and a few of his closest friends.



That concludes our pictorial salute to a modern-day saint, Al Gore.

Scientology may be the first religion founded by a science fiction writer, but Environmentalism is the first religion founded by an ex-vice president.

Snowfall in Baghdad Latest Proof of Man-Made Climate Change

More reason for gloom for ignorant climate change deniers.

Evidence in the man-made climate change debate continues to dampen climate change skeptics' spirits.

This time, from Baghdad, come proof that using anecdotal evidence is a two-edged sword.

After weathering nearly five years of war, Baghdad residents thought they'd pretty much seen it all. But Friday morning, as muezzins were calling the faithful to prayer, the people here awoke to something certifiably new. For the first time in memory, snow fell across Baghdad.

Although the white flakes quickly dissolved into gray puddles, they brought an emotion rarely expressed in this desert capital snarled by army checkpoints, divided by concrete walls and ravaged by sectarian killings—delight.

At least one resident of Baghdad couldn't believe actually seeing the results of man-made climate change for the first time in his life.

"For the first time in my life I saw a snow-rain like this falling in Baghdad," said Mohammed Abdul-Hussein, a 63-year-old retiree from the New Baghdad area.

"When I was young, I heard from my father that such rain had fallen in the early '40s on the outskirts of northern Baghdad," Abdul-Hussein said, referring to snow as a type of rain. "But snow falling in Baghdad in such a magnificent scene was beyond my imagination."

DBKP has entered the debate over man-made climate change rather late in the game.

However, we were quick to notice how much anecdotal evidence was offered those arguing for man-made climate change.

This latest report from Baghdad demonstrates our motto:

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

Man-Made Climate Change: Struggling to Cope

How is mankind dealing with the ravages of man-made climate change?

Everyone deals with disaster differently.

Two looks at how two men struggle to cope with global warming.


Now THIS guy knows how to deal with GLOBAL WARMING!!

Bet that baby's got some kinda carbon footprint!


Not really sure since I'm a MOPAR guy but I think that's a Chevy big block (454).



DBKP feels that this anecdotal evidence is at least as compelling as any other proof presented in the climate change debate.

Meanwhile, preparations for the threat that is man-made climate change continues.

All over the world, people try to cope with the coming catastrophe.



The fate of the earth hangs in the balance.

Every day is one step closer to Environmental Armageddon.

Senate Report: More Evidence Non-Scientists Will Bash as "Non-Scientific"

What's a little evidence, to those who stifle debate by
likening skepticism to being a "Holocaust Denier"?

Just when you were ready to trade in your Dodge Dakota for a pogo stick...

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.

The new report issued by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s office of the GOP Ranking Member details the views of the scientists, the overwhelming majority of whom spoke out in 2007.

The John Edwards Love Child Scandal wasn't the only story you wouldn't hear about if you kept yourself informed by watching ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or reading USA Today or other Mainstream Media(MSM).

Global warming might be the media's latest example of a "blizzards are heading our way--stay tuned" story. Local TV stations have long hyped any bad weather in a local area to encourage viewers to return to see an update: snow, sleet or gloom of night.

Stories, such as the Senate Report, are starting to appear even in the Traditional Press--long a stronghold of the sensationalized, not-very-scientific wailing that pass as scientific reporting.

Even some in the establishment media now appear to be taking notice of the growing number of skeptical scientists. In October, the Washington Post Staff Writer Juliet Eilperin conceded the obvious, writing that climate skeptics "appear to be expanding rather than shrinking." Many scientists from around the world have dubbed 2007 as the year man-made global warming fears “bite the dust.” (LINK) In addition, many scientists who are also progressive environmentalists believe climate fear promotion has "co-opted" the green movement. (LINK)
This blockbuster Senate report lists the scientists by name, country of residence, and academic/institutional affiliation. It also features their own words, biographies, and weblinks to their peer reviewed studies and original source materials as gathered from public statements, various news outlets, and websites in 2007. This new “consensus busters” report is poised to redefine the debate.

The Senate Report also mentions the fact that debate in 'man-made climate change' more closely resembles a community get-together in Salem, Massachusetts, circa 1692.

Scientist, ever mindful of who controls the spending levers of their funding, are reported to be cautious of opposing publicly a fad that had achieved all the trappings of a real scientific theory.

Many of the scientists featured in this report consistently stated that numerous colleagues shared their views, but they will not speak out publicly for fear of retribution. Atmospheric scientist Dr. Nathan Paldor, Professor of Dynamical Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, author of almost 70 peer-reviewed studies, explains how many of his fellow scientists have been intimidated.

“Many of my colleagues with whom I spoke share these views and report on their inability to publish their skepticism in the scientific or public media,” Paldor wrote. [Note: See also July 2007 Senate report detailing how skeptical scientists have faced threats and intimidation.

We've long been skeptical of talk of a "scientific consensus". Science doesn't operate that way and anyone with a little background understands that.

Science is about hard data, experiments, observation, and the replication of experiments.

The hysteria over "man-made climate change" (global warming's latest re-packaging) contains none of that, save perhaps the observation that somewhere in the rush to enact brave new taxes, there's a buck to be made.

When spurned politicians, Hollywood movie stars and fast-buck agri-business conglomerates are turned into the "scientific spokesmen of the day", global cooling is likely to be the type of science you get.

"It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them." -- Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, French author and dramatist (1732-1799).

Nowhere is the above statement more evident than in the public debate over global warming.
