Fight Global Warming!

By Pete

Yesterday I drove back to Bloomington to get the rest of my stuff. I got almost all of it, but along the way I saw a billboard. It was something like this:

Which, to me, sounds a lot like this:

More evidence is now coming out that makes the current propaganda thinking global warming sound suspiciously like all the warnings in the 70s that we were on the verge of an ice age. Take a look at some of the new wrinkles here, and see if your resident tree-hugging, pacifist, liberal climate expert has any good explanations for them.

I found these two most interesting:

• The average land temperature of the globe dropped precipitously last year, according to the Hadley Center for Climate Prediction. The temperature drop ? more than enough to “wipe out most of the global warming of the past 100 years,” according to the online technology publication Daily Tech ? was also recorded by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

And

• Professor Oleg Sorokhtin of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences is advising people “to stock up on fur coats” because he expects an extended period of global cooling, an assessment that is echoed by Kenneth Tapping of the U.S. National Academy of Science’s National Research Council. Both scientists contend solar activity explains most of the temperature variation in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Wait, wait, wait… you mean the sun might have something to do with the temperature of the earth? Say it ain’t so!
