Global warming?

[oldandslow]

Is it or isn't it? I don' know but you can read plenty of pros and cons and make up your own mind I guess. I've lived within 125 miles of here all my life and can't ever remember this happening before. This morning I went out to scatter a can of grain for the birds and rabbits and fill the water pan I keep out for them. There was ice in the water pan. Normally we will have our first 100 degree day within the next two weeks. What does this mean as evidence either way? Probably nothing. Just an unusual occurrence I though I would pass along.

I posted a fact in the Wisconsin forum similar to this. Large lakes in Northern Wisconsin being covered with ice into the month of May. I have never seen such late ice in my life. This does not match with global warming fears.

Maybe you guys haven't heard--"global warming" is no longer the proper title; it's climate change.  Now, for anyone who has been on the planet for more than a couple decades, it shouldn't come as a shock that climates do vary from time to time.  And amazingly, sometimes climates change drastically, and not as a result of anything man-caused. 

A recent letter to the editor in our local fish wrapper from an Algore worshiper stated that global warming indeed leads to global cooling.  The state of the earths climate might in fact be precariously balanced by several factors and history proves this, but my guess is that man is the least of all factors involved.  Those who believe that human activity is the prime mover of climate change should voluntarily give up those activities (breathing being one) and show us all that they are really committed to what they preach.

I absolutely REFUSE to call it "climate change".  The term is "Global Warming".

If you're throwing out a theory and your theory would create a warmer planet, that's called Global Warming.

It seems like somebody with an agenda wants mandates on whatever they have no control over, i.e. ME & YOU, and will change the nomenclature to suit them. 

They want to have cake and eat it too.  It seems in their minds, no matter what occurs (temp goes up or down) it is the result of human activities.    Laws, restrictions, taxes, fees... Not obeyed or paid by India or China, but by the US taxpayer, as usual.

Its kind of like the whole "Civil War" vs "War of Northern Aggression" debate.  It depends what side you're on.  In the whole GW debate, I'm a US taxpayer.  So, for me, it is NOT "climate change".

The fact that the title to their religion has changed, should be a hint that they no longer believe in their own science (I use the word rather loosely).  People should remember that based on periods of time, the state of the earth in this age is more natural to be an Ice Age.  We have been lucky to come along at a relatively brief interlude between 100,000 year glacial periods.

Do you mean to tell me that Greenland was named as such, because it was green and farmable and not under a sheet of ice over a mile thick!? 

Holy cow.

The part they could see from the boat was. How could they know how far the glaciers stretch inland? They had similar coastal areas with mountains and glaciers inland back where they came from.

Has anyone seen that claim that ocean currents are going to give the world an appearance of cooling off? But, it's not really cooling, global warming will continue, even though the temperature is dropping. (I was laughing too hard to remember to copy the link.)

See, this global warming stuff is much too complicated and complex for the ordinary folks to comprehend.  It must be left to the elite and wise (like Algore) to save us all.

Be careful Magooch. You start throwing out to much common sense and somebody will call you names!
