Cooler Global Temperatures No Reason to Stop Hysteria

The cooler earth is happier about the news than
the man-made climate changers (MMCC)

Man-made climate-changers (MMCC) aren't going to let a little thing like falling temperatures upset their apocalyptic hopes for Mother Earth and the attendant dreams of more taxes, regulation and government control.

Even though global tempertures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effects of the La Nina current in the Pacific, MMCCers are already spinning the bad news--for them--into more predictions of coming man-made doom.

The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the summer.

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.

The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74C.

Researchers say the uncertainty in the observed value for any particular year is larger than these small temperature differences. What matters, they say, is the long-term upward trend.

So, let's get this straight. When the temperature over 100 years raises less than a degree, the earth is headed for a disaster that only Al Gore and more government control can prevent.

But when the earth cools by the same amount in one year, it's nothing?

You have to hand it to the MMCCers: can't let a little science get into the way of a perfectly good hysteria.

Man Made Climate Change: More Sobering Evidence from Around the World

"[The] climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly".
--Al Gore, in Switzerland

"The snow, the worst in a decade in many places, has hit most of China since Jan. 12, leaving homes collapsed, power blackouts, highways closed and crops destroyed."
--Chinese weather agency



While Al Gore was in Switzerland, trying to raise the alarm on global warming, the forces of man-made climate change turned deadly in China.

Environmentalists continue to warn those who raise a deaf ear against the catastrophic results of man-made climate change.

The Earth's future hangs in the very balance.

For those who will not listen, more gloomy climate news is as near as their local newspaper.

China’s prime minister rushed south from the capital to show his concern for millions of travellers stranded by snowstorms and blizzards, only to fall victim himself to the worst winter weather in China for half a century.

The extreme weather is now thought to have killed more than 50 people after two buses crashed today.

As if this sad news of the results of mankind's continued use of fossil fuels wasn't enough, there was additional startling news closer to home.

A freak snowstorm has hit British Columbia, causing at least one death, with chaos in some areas and outages in others.

British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority was last night attempting to restore normal electricity service to 2,500 customers in Maple Ridge who were affected when a fire engine flipped over and ruptured a power line.

In the U.S., Gore's climate theories might finally get the respect they deserve as Los Angeles fell victim to man's climate madness.

Despite the normal prevailing winds, 80-degree temperatures, and relentless sunshine a localized freak snowstorm hit the heart of Los Angeles producing intermittent limited visibility and occasional measurable accumulation. Residents were completely surprised by the unusual patterns and local forecasters could find no explanation or record of similar occurrences.

The former Vice President has these sober words for a listening world yesterday.

At a session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr Gore warned that the climate crisis was worsening.

"We could take the whole session talking just about the new scientific evidence of the last few weeks and months," said Mr Gore, who shared last year's Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to fight climate change.

He added that the "climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly".

More evidence for "climate change deniers" to ponder as they seek to obstruct Gore's plans of more taxes and regulations to counter the menace that threatens the entire world.

John McCain, running for president on the Republican ticket, is one of the few candidates who has tried to address the coming disaster that is global warming. McCain agrees that the U.S. isn't doing enough to stop this ecological time bomb.

Al Gore isn't kidding.

Time is running out.

Will no one do something?
