Welcome everyone to the week that was in global warming news.
Sunday, June 1:
Hurricane forecasters have predicted a very active season for hurricanes with 15 tropical storms, eight hurricanes and a 69% chance that one will strike the U.S. mainland. This hurricane season is predicted to be 160% of average. I’m glad that they’re usually wrong.

In more name-calling from the liberal left, a bishop with the Church of England has equated global warming deniers with the Austrian father that held his daughter captive for 24 years, repeatedly raping her and fathering her children. While I can appreciate the intolerance of those duped into believing the global warming hoax, the comparison made by this man is much worse than that of Al Gore when he called us moon landing hoaxers. At least Gore had the sense to not call us monsters. In other news, debate over Senate bill S. 2191 started on Monday. This piece of legislation would have allowed the federal government to control your lifestyle and your money by taxing carbon emissions. While the bill ultimately failed to pass, mostly due to an upcoming election and hope for a Barack Obama White House in 2009, it will resurrect itself next year with more earmarks and pork barrel spending.

A new report out Tuesday claimed NASA misrepresented global warming data. While this isn’t necessarily good news for global warming deniers as the data was supposedly modified to show little warming (it’s all Bush’s fault, you know), it does open the door for other aggregators to have their data scrutinized more closely. Al Gore’s hockey stick graph comes to mind with it’s missing Medieval Warm Period. But the media doesn’t report on that, do they? Also, the United States Army declared on Tuesday that global warming is caused by the sun and not human activity. The report, from the March 2008 edition of Physics Today, said that the sun accounts for 69% of the increased temperatures on Earth.

We received a peek at what would happen to gas prices in the event the Lieberman-Warner bill passed and was made into law: the gas tax would go from 18 cents per gallon to 53 cents per gallon. That’s a great way to wreck a weak, but growing, economy. Canadian businesses have started a backlash over carbon taxes, pleading with the government to find ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions without raising taxes. What our Canadian friends don’t understand is that we here in the United States think taxes solve all problems. Gas tax is high, but we still have pot holes in our roads. No, bad example. Lots of taxes go to our public school system and our kids are still falling behind other countries. No, another bad example. Well, nevermind. Go Canadian businesses!

South Dakota seems to be the place where all the smart people live. For the first time in 30 years, a state is going to build an oil refinery. While I’m sure this didn’t exactly excite many environmentalists around the country, it will help the local economy and add new jobs to the region. In news of the plain silly, a New Zealand scientist has claimed a way to vaccinate livestock so that they no longer emit methane gas from burps or flatulence. The article said about half of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions are from livestock.

Seattle Washington is hoping to ban bonfires to save the planet. No more fun on the beach, people. All fun is officially over and you must report back to your boring lives. The Seattle Parks and Recreation Department now has apparent authority over your lifestyle. Be sure to thank your elected officials. And the big news of the day was that the Lieberman-Warner bill was successfully defeated in the United States Senate, coming up 12 votes short of passage. Like I said earlier, this is only a trial run for more comprehensive legislation next year.
Saturday, June 7:
While many global warming activists accuse anyone against climate change of being shills for big oil, it’s become apparent that many on the environmental left are shills for their own personal investment gains. Earlier in the week it was learned that Al Gore lied to us about his financial interest in global warming, having investments in companies that are heavily invested in the carbon market. Don’t throw stones from inside your glass house, global warming greenies.
Everyone have a great week and THANK YOU for visiting Skeptics Global Warming!
