Global Warming


Snow in Austin (my front yard - photo courtesy of Mrs. Jimbo). This is only supposed to happen once every 25 years in Austin. This is the second time in 5 years...

From Drudge:
UN claims man-made global warming 'proved beyond a doubt'...

From Jimbo:
Only a liberal could believe in and stand by the biggest scam in the history of the world: Manmade Global Warming, a fantasy of Al Gore; shyster extraordinaire, and silly little no-account "revise history for convenience" liberals.

Odd weather patterns are one of the consequences of global warming. If you weren't so busy cleaning your guns you might know something.

Personally, I don't care if the earth perishes in 30 years. I don't have kids and don't give a rip if yours are left with an unihabitable planet. It's inevitable that the ignorance and greed that infects the majority will destroy us. But once I'm dead I don't care.

You can't fix stupid.

If this is supposed to happen once every 25 years but has already happened twice is 5 years, do you think that if Algore stands on his head it will cause the weather to reverse its course and start warming the globe again? I'm just askin'.

Freak -

Your post stands. There is nothing anyone can say that could help anyone else recognize you for what you are, what you stand for, your general intelligence, and grasp on reality. It exhibits why you are largely ignored: you just aren't too smart and don't seem to grasp that reality. Of course liberals, as a rule DON'T Graps reality.

Now - freak - throw ALL your brains and common sense into a post that will dispute the 650 actual scientists that prove Al Gore is a fool.

No name calling allowed. Show everyone on this blog how smart you are.

DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! Don't begin calling me names and referring to my exercising my 2nd Amendment rights unless you can tell me specifically how to clean a Browning 30.06 A-Bolt better than the way I already do it - keep your silly mouth shut.

Tell us ALL how Al Gore is a genuius and REAL scientists are wrong.

NO NAME CALLING - DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT; tell us. We really, really want to hear. From your reaction, you must have a PhD in Climatology. Tell us what we're missing. Earn everyone's respect: Be smart. Now... we are having Global Cooling in Austin, Houston, on other planets like Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, WHY?

Your turn. :-) Be smart now.

Is it because your Boy was elected?

:-)

Jimbo said...

I should add - the planets I listed were suffering Global Warming the same time Earth was. They, as us, have been experiencing Global Cooling the last 10 years.

Please include SUV's and cow farts in your expert analysis to incude similar clinmate changes on other planets.

You are SO smart. We're certain you can set us all straight.

It's true we do have global warming, then global cooling, then global warming. From what I see, they seem to be averaging about an 11 year cycle.

I do know that I get tired of hearing how the US is responsible for all of the climate change. The real question is, why is it that the US of A has reduced it's "carbon footprint" since the 70's but global warming continues? The other big question....if the "developing" world is producing more "carbon" pollution than the "developed" world is reducing....are we / can we make a difference other than to bury ourselves in excessive taxes and regulation. To me it is a sure fire method of making ourselves feel better about ourselves as we prepare for anarchy. When the major urban areas start looking for food and fuel, it's going to be a nightmare.....but those with the foresight to store ammo...and food, should be sitting pretty.

In the immortal words of Alfred E. Newman....What? Me worry?

BTW, what are the chances that we are actually 100 years into an iceage and the only thing holding it back is industrialization?

Is the human ego so big to actually think that we can make that big of a change in the global environment? Maybe we should fine the owners of Mt St Helens. it spews more green house gasses every year than the whole rest of the country.

Jimbo, you're wasting your breath on this liberal nitwit. It's first sentence proves what a moron it is. They are beyond reason and logic and prefer to live in their own little world where reality doesn't exist.

And you have it wrong freak. It's liberals that can't be fixed.

Well Jimbo, I didn't know that you got your PhD in Climatology either!

Look, you can find 650 anybodys to tell you anything. Doesn't mean it's true. Plenty of "real" scientists believe global warming is a threat and a growing problem. It's not just Al Gore being a boring liberal. After all, Al Gore lives in a house that uses lots of fuel!

So why would this be becoming an issue if there was nothing to it? Why would the world be concerned? Don't tell me, it's the liberals out to ruin your fun. To take away your god-given right to do whatever you please even if it damages others or the environment. Those damn liberals, always trying to control you!

I work in the environmental industry. I've taken courses in all the environmental laws. Grad level. We studied case law. There hasn't been an environmental protection law or regulation created that hasn't had cavemen like you opposing it. Or especially industry and the polluters. Even something as essential as removing lead from paint and gas was opposed. I'm sure you (if you were around) or your kind were opposing that too. If you have time I'll explain how succcessful that was and what the implications are for improvements in public health. Oops, but there I go using that word "public", the bane of conservatives everywhere. You know, public bad, private good.

You people have no vision of a future beyond your own selfish wants.

Let's be fair to ex-VP Gore, Jimbo.

He didn't create the Climate Change Hysteria. He wasn't even in on the original scientific hand wringers debating this. He is, however, one of the high profile, talking heads who took it on as a cause.

That I have no problem with, this is still America. We have a right to speak foolishly.

What gives me the biggest pain is that he never ONCE says he makes money by trading in this stuff. I'm the kind of person who is suspicious of that kind of hidden agenda.

Missy said...

Question for HLF: If global warming is man-caused then please explain how there was once farming in Siberia? Or how in the middle ages they grew grapes in England? Oh, while you are at it, please also explain the concurrent warming of the polar regions of Mars and also explain how this warming trend began BEFORE the industrial revolution?

HLF: Did you call in gay yesterday?

OT: Did you get your climatology degree from UC AlGore?

Hey Hey HLF, Hows your rim? Ya got it all daubed down tight with Prep-H to keep all yer Giz collection you acquired yesterday from runnin down yer leg?
You absence on GayDay was duly noted.
Hope you didn't fergitcher dentures at yer boyfriends place or anything like that.
Sooooo when you goin fer yer AIDS test there HLF?

An looky here ebbybubby, it was FIFFY deeegreez dis morning when I came to work and it only going up to 74 today. Global warming my ass.

OK and I don't believe HLF is for real. NOBODY is that STUPID and perfectly hosed up. HLF is

3 one of us (this game has been played before....and around the holidays).

Will the real HLF please stand up and show us your breasts'?

We didn't have permanent ice caps until 40 million years ago. We've had large and small fluctuations in temperature, ocean patterns plate tectonics, volcanism, comet and asteroid impacts, solar output....for 4.6 billion years. We've only really started measuring any of this for the past century and very inaccurately it might add due to all sorts of variables too numerous to count here. Has human kind had an influence? No doubt. Who cares? Would it change if there were no people? Of course. It's been going on for eons will continue to.

I have studied and continue to study climatology, anthropology, paleontology, geology, oceanography, astrophysics. It's hard to satiate an IQ of 151.

how did they measure temperature before there were thermometers?

the Celsius scale was developed in 1742....

Did Lief Erikson say "feels like it's 80 today, lets name this place Greenland?

"So why would this be becoming an issue if there was nothing to it? "

For the same reason that Alar and DDT became huge, unfounded scares.

It made a lot of people a lot of money, and gives them a lot of power.

How many climatologists, facing a decision between recieving no money from the Feds by being against AGW, or recieving huge grants, notoriety, and fame by being for AGW, would choose the former?

There are a hell of a lot more than 650 scientists that are unconvinced, BTW.

AGW is simply another attempt by people with a green agenda to dictate how we live, what we can and cannot do, and when we can do it. They've been trying for 50 years to get that, because they all think they know far better than we do how we should all live.

However, it is amazing to me that during all of this time that they are wringing their hands, our air has gotten way cleaner, our rivers are flowing clean and clear once again, and all of the doom and gloom that they predicted 30 years ago has not happened, and in fact, has become the opposite, all without them being able to tell us what to do.

Look at a climate graph that goes back more than 100 years, and you will see that our current fluctuations are paltry and meaningless. Include the mideval warm period, and the roman warm period, for instance, and you'll see that climate has fluctuated far beyond where we sit currently (cooling back down, as it were).

There are 11 year cycles, 50 year cycles , and 1500 year cycles. THis is well within the variability of all of them, and is also right on schedule in the cyclical grand scheme of things.

HLF, I'm glad you are not worried, because you have nothing to worry about.

DDT had plenty of health implications if only for it's accumulation in humans and it's effect on birds.

I know, though. The brainstems of the world want to wait until damage is irreversible before doing anything. That way you can make a few more dollars. $$$$ is all conservatives live for.

You're way out of your league here.

Moron: Do you know why DDT is now making a comeback? It's been the best and most effective use against malaria.

Naw, see, some of like to procreate too. Thataway we'll overpopulate the earth with redneck, white trash peckerwoods that'll outnumber all of you oh-so-concerned-about-the-environment, no-one-culture-is-superior-to- another, moral relativists and will succeed in reducing the average IQ level of all Americans to what used to be termed, "Idiot" before Donna Shalala and Sheldon Hackney created the newspeak religiosity of sensitivity.

See, thataway we can go out and tear up environmentally fragile wilderness areas with our ENORMOUS 4x4 dually pickups, decimate or completely anihilate the Bambi and Thumper population in a veritable blootbath using our phallic-symbol rifles and shotguns and generally conduct ourselves as we wish.

You see, just like you, we don't care what happens to the earth. We also don't care what you or anyone else thinks of our activities, our IQs our level of sophistication or anything else. We also will never be as miserable as your words reveal you to be.
