Global Cooling

Filed under: Uncategorized — Marty Duren @ 5:32 am

Are we about to enter a protracted period of falling temperatures?

There are a growing number of scientists who think so.

  1. I’ve been hearing this for a year and the sun spot thing for at least 6 mos.

    Sure enough, Tulsa had one of the mildest summers on record. Of course this is anecdotal.

    Still, I wonder if they can take back the Oscar from Al Gore if the movie turns out to be as ridiculous – “junk science” – as these people say it is.

    Probably just as well to let him keep it and never speak of it again. And enjoy the snowfall.

    On the other hand, hard winters will be hard on the American economy, which is still based heavily on agriculture. This is not to mention the third world agriculture of the people to whom we are reaching out.

    This is a picture of a water buffalo that died in the harsh winter of of northern Vietnam last year. The cold was crushing and killed a lot of livestock they couldn’t afford to lose, but they did the only thing they could: They brought in the carcass – it was frozen and so preserved, more or less – and smoked it, then ate on it all winter long. The picture in the link was taken in March of this year.

    How are they going to handle the cold and what can we do to help?

  2. Not really much on the global warming debate, but Google -growing glaciers- and see if you get a slightly different picture of the current environmental developments than presented by the “liberal, elite media” or the “liberal, regular media” (to quote from a Palin sketch on SNL).

    I will not pretend to KNOW why some glaciers are melting rapidly and some are growing (all over the world), but I also wish Al Gore and others would stop pretending to KNOW, as well. Far too many glaciers are growing in areas close-by those that they site as melting.

  5. Yeah, this is about the environment. CB doesn’t care if it all burns. It’s all going to burn anyway, right? :) But, you can always blames the socialists for whatever happens.

    This is interesting, though. I saw that about the glaciers growing as well. This is what happens when you are looking at information right in front of you and extrapolate it out over a long period. That’s kind of what happened with Darwin, isn’t it? When will we learn?

  6. Marty,

    Tell Alan to bring the cloak that I left in you in Memphis when you come–and the books, especially yours and the one written by Joel Rainey. (2 cb 4:13)

    It is getting cold down here in the SABANATION. Yet, I am sure things will warm up Saturday when we go up to Fulmer town and whup up on him and that little Bluetick dog.
