Global Icing

We lost power for about three hours today due to the ice storm. It sure could have been worse and some 600,000 across the Midwest are still without power. Where's that global warming when you need it?

Speaking of global warming, Pundit Review pointed out this report which said,

"Climate scientists at the University of Rochester, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia report that observed patterns of temperature changes (‘fingerprints’) over the last thirty years are not in accord with what greenhouse models predict and can better be explained by natural factors, such as solar variability. Therefore, climate change is ‘unstoppable’ and cannot be affected or modified by controlling the emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, as is proposed in current legislation."

Poor AlGore, I thought he taught us that scientists had come to a consensus on global warming? No? He just received his Nobel peace prize (?!) last week and now scientists like Lord Christopher Monckton, a UK climate researcher, are speaking out against Gore's religious dogma. Monckton told the UN yesterday that "Climate change is a non-problem. The right answer to a non problem is to have the courage to do nothing."

Click here and see more of what Monchton and others have said about the UN's climate conference at a Bali tropical resort. Australian scientist Dr. David Evans is quoted saying, "Most of the people here [at the UN's Bali conference] have jobs that are very well paid and they depend on the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. They are not going to be very receptive to the idea that well actually the science has gone off in a different direction."
