Baby, it's cold outside, and that can only mean global warming.
By JAMES TARANTO
For some reason, people aren't worrying much about global warming
these days--even though, as we write, it's 40 degrees out in New York
City, far warmer than it was just two or three months ago. Gallup
finds that only 51% of Americans worry about global warming even a
"fair amount," making it the lowest-priority environmental issue. That
is to say, the lowest of the low, as a January Gallup poll found "the
environment" the subject that fewest voters--less than a quarter--
rated "extremely important."
London's Guardian reports that in the United Kingdom, "greenhouse gas
emissions rose by nearly 3% last year, according to government
statistics released on Thursday." The story is accompanied by a photo
of a snow-covered street with the caption: "Last year's rise in carbon
emissions was due to an increase in gas used to heat homes driven by
the cold weather."
[botwt0331]
For some reason, the story doesn't mention the connection between cold
weather and the increase in greenhouse gases. We suppose the Guardian
doesn't want to alarm its readers. After all, if emissions are rising
because of cold weather, that's an act of God, there's not much anyone
can do to save the planet.
This strikes us as overly fatalistic. For one thing, we're all going
to die anyway, and we lose nothing by facing up to the inconvenient
truth. What's more, you never know. With some good old-fashioned
Yankee ingenuity, maybe man can come up with a way of making the
weather warmer so as to avoid the threat of greenhouse gases.

He's obviously another scientist trying to dupe us into believing that recent
cold weather means we're headed straight for the next glacial ice age.
As long as fools like you continue to believe science instead of bloggers,
you will be doomed to sacrificing your individualist freedom to being just
another slave living in a socialist gulag like radically socialist Communist
Canada where their government accepts the words of scientists, making all
Canadians slaves.

The growing incompetence of
Rightist government is not subject to cycles.
The Corporate sector will not get better
at performing its new tasks, no matter
how hard people try to reinvent
Capitalism. There are certain things
that Capitalism is inherently unfit to
do. Nor will the Capitalism get better
at doing the things it is fitted to do
unless it divests itself at everything else.
The only way that Capitalism is going
to get better at feeding CEOs is if
keeping the streets clean is once again
one of its few jobs, and one that it takes
seriously.--

ø Strange isn't.
However it is a fact that the last interglacial
ended and the next ice age began 1,600
years ago.
ø Expect the polar ice to start moving toward
the Equator between 2020 and 2050.

There are three types of people that you
can_not_talk_into_behaving_well. The
stupid, the religious fanatic, and the evil.
1- The stupid aren't smart enough to follow the
logic of what you say. You have to tell them
what is right in very simple terms. If they do
not agree, you will never be able to change
their mind.
2- The religious fanatic: If what you say goes
against their religious belief, they will cling
to that belief even if it means their death.
3- There is no way to reform evil- not in a
million years. There is no way to convince
anthropogenic_global_warming_alarmists,
terrorists, serial killers, paedophiles, and
predators to change their evil ways, They
knew what they were doing was wrong, but
knowledge didn't stop them. It only made
them more careful in how they went about
performing their evil deeds.˙

Truly stupid people believe that cold weather in one small part of the
world means that the rest of the world cannot be warm.

They do; and they demonstrate that by throwing themselves headlong
into the weather trap again and again and again...........it's like
moths to a flame for them.

ø Indeed Fischballs you are pretty stupid.
Clueless, too!

well. The stupid, the rightist religious fanatic, and the evil
rightist.
1-The right wing stupid aren't smart enough to follow the logic of
what you say. You have to tell them what is right in very simple
terms. If they don't agree, then you'll never be able to change their
mind.
2- the right wing religious fanatic If what you say goes against their
religious belief, they will cling to that religious belief even if it
means their death."
3- There is no way to reform evil Not in a million years. There is no
way to convince the right wing terrorists, anti-science anthropogenic
global warming deniers, serial killers, right wing paedophiles, and
predators to change their evil ways. They knew what they were doing
was wrong, but that knowledge didn't stop them. It only made them more
careful in how they went about performing their evil acts.
