On Sunday we learned that the leading scientist that linked the increase and intensity of hurricanes has since backed off that position. He has developed a new model that says there will be a moderate increase or decrease in hurricanes over the next two centuries.
Monday provided another blow to Al Gore’s global warming myth as the MIT scientist that claimed Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming, Kerry Emanuel, has also backed off his position and has said that hurricanes will decrease over the next two centuries. It was from this guy’s statement that the cover of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth was born. It was also reiterated on Monday that biofuels will damage the environment through deforestation and additional fertilizer needed to grow the crops.
Tuesday’s news proved to us that you don’t need forced carbon taxes to drop greenhouse gas emissions as the EPA reported a 1.1% drop in emissions in 2006. I’m also waiting on the greenies to tie the cool winter temperatures of 2007-2008 to this rather insignificant drop in greenhouse gases. Also, we learned about more ethanol backlash as people in developing countries are inciting riots over food.
On Wednesday we reexamined the issue of poorly-mounted temperature surface stations and their effects on measuring global temperatures. Hint: thermometers mounted next to asphalt don’t record the true temperature. Wednesday also taught us that simply changing traffic light patterns can save on carbon dioxide emissions. Ah, but that wouldn’t be any fun since it wouldn’t involve a tax, now would it?
Thursday was my unofficlal Al Gore day as I found lots of material dedicated to the former vice president. There was a blog post questioning his recent secrecy, Gore’s involvement with the ban of DDT, which was well on its way to eradicating malaria in Africa and Asia. Now the disease has killed 30 million people. And on the lighter side of things, a cute joke about Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman. Oh, and Time Magazine decided to spit in the faces of Iwo Jima veterans by converting the famous memorial into a push for global warming. That’s real class.
On Friday we learned that data used to push the global warming agenda is bogus because not all ground-based, satellite and balloon data was used in the final figures. Tom Nelson pointed out Al Gore’s priorities so that we all have a better understanding of what it is Al Gore does all day long. Looks like he’s raking in the dough from all of these scam carbon credits.
And finally on Saturday we learned that “Warming Island” really isn’t a new island off the coast of Greenland after all. Maps from the 1950s were discovered and clearly show “Warming Island” was an island back then…so global warming didn’t cause that, either. Saturday’s news also pointed out what a carbon tax will really do to gas prices. Why would someone with even the slightest amount of intelligence propose a new tax during a period of economic slowdown and increasing food prices? Someone who got a C- in government class, evidently.

Why would I care about an individual changing his mind on hurricanes. From my reading 2 years ago, a link between earth warming and hurricanes was not proven. Since science is always changing, more data feeds new science, I don’t lend much to speculation one way or another.
If it is 102 degrees in the middle of a parking lot, and 84 degrees upwind of the lot, and 93 degrees downwind of the lot, what is the temperature?
The fact that it is 102 dergrees over the parking lot is absolute proof that the added cement and blacktop made the area under measurement warmer. This proves man increased the warming in this region by putting in the parking lot.
And I don’t need to call anyone else’s scientific analysis bunk, or try and say it disproves anything, I just have to admit the parkijg lot contributed to increased warming in the area.
Now multiply that by all of the buildings and roads we constructed, and it increases warming more than if it were trees and grasses. If you don’t see that, then you are part of the problem.
If man can poison a river with a teaspoon full of some biologic, and another man can destroy the Mississippi river fish habitat by mistakenly freeing all of his chinese carp, I am not going to say that 200 million cows emmitting methane gas couldn’t impact the thin layer of atmosphere.
But you seem to have fun attacking Al Gore, that is so 2004. Global dimming and climate destabilization are the new science, its about particulate pollution, rainfall patterns, and desalinization of the oceans.
