Record Snow in Anchorage

Photo Credit: Anchorage Daily News
Yeah its Alaska but still was spring...and few days was 50F and seemed like spring and t-shirt weather, but with no global warming as God teaches Al Gore who's boss ....two feet of fresh snow smacked Algorians in the face.

"Before Friday, the most snow that had ever fallen in one day after April 1 was 8.3 inches. The day’s official tally at the airport: 15.5."

Now cooling is cooling

Wait it's into Spring here here and we got cold and snow like it was in February ! Can someone say Climate Change ...yes Climate Change is now the word to replace Global Warming dialog.... that's because the thinkers who made up the silly warming claims now see the cooling coming and have to change you all to believe that the same manmade junk that caused the so-called warming... now causes the cooling ...
So C02 really causes cooling now? They just took 20 years brainwashing you to believe it causes the warming....

This graph shows last years major cooling drop (blue) and that one year drop has never been seen as so radical in either direction
But before you freak and say ..yikes we are in the Ice Age now.... just wait... all the warming we had from 1900 was only .6C and last years drop was about .6C

The Real Consensus

There is no such thing as consensus on man made Global Warming and more scientists do not follow the "Sky is Falling" side.

Proof, that Believing in Global Warming makes you stupid

Ted Turner knows alot about the Marxist Agenda, at least he thinks he does....well he had a good teacher while married to Marxist Jane Fonda.

"Failure to address global warming will have us all dead or eating each other by mid-century." Says Ted Turner, the restaurateur, former media mogul and wacko environmentalist whose controversial comments have earned him the nickname "Mouth of the South."

He says "We'll be eight degrees hotter in 10 , not 10 but....in 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow,"

"Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals," says Turner, 69. "Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state — like Somalia or Sudan — and living conditions will be intolerable."
"....there will be droughts, we wont be growing corn..."
One way to combat global warming, Turner said, is to stabilize the population.

"We're too many people; that's why we have global warming," he said. "Too many people are using too much stuff."

Turner suggested that "on a voluntary basis, everybody in the world's got to pledge to themselves that one or two children is it."

Admitting that he's "always suffered from foot-in-the-mouth disease," Turner added, "I've gotten a lot better, though. It's been a long time since anybody caught me saying something stupid."

***I guess he couldn't wait any longer to get back on the stupidness wagon... it's so funny to have guys like this on the Global Warming Alarmists side.

See you have to look at the common sense realities in his statement... Mr. Foot-in-the-Mouth here says we will all die off , then he says we have to all die off to save the planet from all of us dying off. I cant help but laugh at stupidity . If we start dying off then we wont have the problem anyway , so we shouldnt do anything if Global warming was really happening as it would even out the problems the dummies say we have. I am laughing still... this is so funny... and so many people believe this insanity the aliens must be laughing their big black eyes out over this whole dumb hoax of man made global warming.

The Artic is grimly dying ! tears , tears

Oh yeah the Artic only melts when MAN is driving cars all over.... yeah right... how about back in time?

Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, successfully navigated the Northwest Passage on August 26, 1905. (Meaning that this Passage was clear enough of ice for a wooden sailboat, with a crew of seven, to successfully navigate it more than 100 years ago.)

This Passage was also conquered several times in the 1940s. The St. Roch - built for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Force to serve as a supply ship - navigated the Northwest Passage in 1942, the second ship to make the passage, and the first to travel the passage from west to east. In 1944, St. Roch returned to Vancouver via the more northerly route of the Northwest Passage, making her run in 86 days. The epic voyages of St. Roch demonstrated Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic during the difficult wartime years, and extended Canadian control over its vast northern territories.

"When you consider that serious monitoring of Arctic ice levels only started in 1972, and that explorers successfully navigated these seas in relatively archaic ships 60 and 100 years ago, how can anybody honestly claim that today's conditions in this region are in any way unprecedented, historic, or grim?

warmest year search

Its no wonder so many are ignorant about the climate and real temperatures.
With one search on Google you get these:

* 2007 to Be Warmest Year on Record, Forecasters Say.....
* 2006 Was Warmest Year Yet Recorded for U.S........
* NASA - 2005 Warmest Year in Over a Century.......
* 2005 warmest year on record - Environment- msnbc.com

None of the top headings are factual
1934 was the warmest year recorded. 1998 was next. 2007 was the coolest one year drop in temperature that is the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down. And the winter of 2008 is coldest since 2001.

Luckily you get one fact that tells more of the story: Nasa'a correction on temperature readings.

NASA's Backtrack on Warmest Year Is Being Ignored, Critic Says ...Aug 16, 2007 ... (CNSNews.com) - NASA scientists this month corrected an error that resulted in 1934 replacing 1998 as the warmest year on record in the U.S. ...

Cooling Cooling Cooling is Cool is not warming!

Hahaha It just isnt enough to say the cooling is on us to make Algore the nut a crushed nut. He went out saying C02 causes warming... now he will have to say C02 makes cooling the planet... hope you remember the change of his brain.
Ok, I dont think C02 causes cooling either but it doesnt do enough to cause warming either. So now we will be colder as so many scientists have said for a few years as political fake scientists kept saying the planet is warming.
We have to check real temps and facts to know things..and not listen to fake political leftist people who think they can brainwash us. Thats all it is. The earth is smarter then leftists , thats why they look it as their God.
Now you can read the news about the 1 degree cooler earth in just one year. The truth is that is a record of change. After 100 years of back and forth of cooling and warming... now we are headed into the next cooling... no matter what man does. The earth decided to do it. AND that wont change unless the universe or the sun says it will change again. The real God must have known great ways to change the climate and its all here in this earth. So many natural things changed the earths climate. Man is useless for any changing of the big earth climate PERIOD!

Check out the whole story on the cooler earth

Pacific Decadal Oscillation

The "Pacific Decadal Oscillation" (PDO) is a long-lived El Niño-like pattern of Pacific climate variability.


( It's very funny that the climate changes over the last 120 years fit somewhat closely with the pattern of the PDO. And man is creating the climate change??
Though the PDO cannot explain all the changes from year to year weather, it is but one of so many natural occurrences that are part of the big picture of global climate change that dwarfs any effect man-made greenhouse gases.
Brrrrr its cold today!)

Several independent studies find evidence for just two full PDO cycles in the past century: "cool" PDO regimes prevailed from 1890-1924 and again from 1947-1976, while "warm" PDO regimes dominated from 1925-1946 and from 1977 through (at least) the mid-1990's. Shoshiro Minobe has shown that 20th century PDO fluctuations were most energetic in two general periodicities, one from 15-to-25 years, and the other from 50-to-70 years.

Snow future for alpine tourism? ::

Up to 120 centimetres of snow has fallen on the Swiss Alps since Friday, the largest amount at the start of winter for over five decades – and more is expected.
Tourism authorities in ski resorts are rubbing their hands, not only because of the low temperatures but also in expectation of a record season.
The southeastern resort of Davos in eastern Switzerland, which lies at 1,560m, saw 62cm of snow fall within 24 hours, according to the national weather service MeteoSwiss on Sunday morning.
St Antönien, also in canton Graubünden, reported 64cm and Braunwald in the neighbouring canton of Glarus saw 72cm, the same amount as Unteriberg in canton Schwyz.
The last time so much snow fell in November was in 1952, but what is also unusual about the current weather conditions is that the stormy northwest wind is carrying relatively large amounts of snow down south, for example to the upper Engadine valley.

When you wait a little bit ..wow does the climate (weather) change!

Real Temperature records

I want to put these numbers down again this is the new temperature warmest years for the U.S. These numbers were only revised after the payed off Hansen at Nasa was presented with facts that made it look like he surely made of false temperature numbers to try to show more warming during the last 10 than in the past.
This is the warmest 10 years from record keeping U.S. history.
1.1934
2.1998
3.1921
4.2006
5.1931
6.1999
7.1953
8.1990
9.1938
10.1939
It is noticeable that the 1930's had some warm years then there was a cooling from 1940 to 1970 so we don't see but one year during that period of time that made the top 10 warmest years. According to the pattern of natural warming and cooling we are about to enter the next cooling period. There are certainly many natural variables that blur some definite climate periods including: sunspot activity, clouds, El Nino and La Nina water temperature change and the jet stream, volcanoes to name a few.
Again the Al Goreans claim our pollution is causing climate change. They have made themselves believe that if you throw a piece of paper on the highway that is magically floats up to the upper atmosphere and causes more warming, they are funny. The claims they make don't make sense at all when you know enough about the planet.

Real reasons to stop the lies

This is from California State Congressmman Tom McClintock.....
The following is an excerpt from a speech that was delivered to the Western Conservative Political Action Conference on October 12, 2007 in Newport Beach.

Last year, in the name of saving the planet from global warming, California adopted the most radically restrictive legislation anywhere in the nation, including AB 32, which requires a 25 percent reduction in man-made carbon dioxide emissions within 13 years.

To put this in perspective, we could junk every car in the state of California RIGHT NOW – and not meet this mandate.

Californians just approved $40 billion of bonds that California’s political leaders promised would be used for highways, dams, aqueducts and other capital improvements. They are desperately needed.

But at the same time, those same political leaders have imposed a 25 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

Now here’s the problem. Building highways, dams and aqueducts requires tremendous amounts of concrete, the principle ingredient of which is cement.

How is cement produced? It is produced by taking limestone and super-heating it into a molten state – it comes out the other side as a compound called clinker. Clinker is about 2/3 the weight of the original limestone. The missing 1/3 of that weight is carbon dioxide. And when you include the emissions required to superheat the limestone, it turns out that for every ton of cement, a TON of carbon dioxide is released. It’s the third biggest source of carbon dioxide in all human enterprise.

But now we have a law that specifically forbids us from doing so. That was the essence of the Jerry Brown lawsuits against new highway projects that were part of the summer budget impasse.

Citing AB 32, Brown argued that unless the counties could show how they would build highways without using earthmoving equipment or concrete – and that once built, that people would not drive automobiles on them – the only legal use of the funds would be to promote mass transit, transit villages – and I’m not making this up – pedestrian trails and bicycle paths.

So much for construction.

Agriculture is in big trouble, too.

You can start with nitrogen fertilizer, which is a critical component of all agricultural activity. Unfortunately, it produces large amounts of nitrous oxide, another so-called greenhouse gas that must be radically curtailed in California.

The wine industry is also in for a shock. Fermentation of wine occurs when a molecule of glucose in the grapes is converted into EQUAL PARTS of alcohol and Carbon Dioxide.

But the biggest agricultural impact is the administration’s mandate for heavily subsidized use of ethanol fuel. Ethanol is produced in exactly the same way as the alcohol in wine: the glucose in corn is converted into equal parts of ethyl alcohol and CARBON DIXOIDE.

Following AB 32, the governor’s appointees on the California Air Resources Board imposed a requirement that ALL gasoline sold in California within THREE YEARS, must be comprised of at least TEN PERCENT ethanol, doubling the current mandate.

Now think about this: an acre of corn produces about 350 gallons of ethanol. There are 15 billion gallons of gasoline used in California each year. In order to meet the ten percent requirement in three years, it means converting 4.3 million acres of farmland to ethanol production. Now that’s a lot of farmland, considering that we have a total of 11 million acres producing any kind of crops.

Current ethanol mandates are already producing serious shortages in other parts of the world, as farmland that had been producing food shifts to ethanol to chase hundreds of millions of dollars of government subsidies coming out of your pocket. There were riots in Mexico earlier this year in response to spiraling tortilla prices.

And we’re seeing this across the board – including commodities like milk and beef that are responding to increased prices for corn feed. And as you see your grocery prices rise as a result of this policy, just be glad you’re not in the Third World. Food is a relatively small portion of the family incomes in affluent nations, but they consume more than half of family earnings in third world countries.

So when the global warming alarmists predict worldwide starvation, they’re right. They’re creating it.

Polar Bears still happy!

Polar bears still aren't drowning or dying off like claimed back in 2005 and earlier.
The Amanda Byrd pic which was used for that hoax from the leftist media to get more people sucking up false news about Global Warming is still being used as so many were fooled and still don't know the truth.
I had one gal post that pic alone on another blog just to show her support for the Global Warming side. She had to be so embarrassed when I pointed out the news that she was fooled by the hoax. I felt bad for her, but she wouldn't admit she was fooled by her comrades in the "pseudo media" who deceived her so distastefully. And the fact that this scam has been known for years and the pic was still swirling around with the original hoax story its just hard to clean up such horrid lies.

Huricanes come and go and not with climate change

Again one easy thing to debunk with the silly claims by Al Gore's movie... we are not having all them dang hurricanes like he promised. In fact "
Florida State University’s COAPS (Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies) says that hurricane season 2007, which ends November 30th, is looking well below normal, in fact they are calling it “historic inactivity”.
Looks like Al Gore is dead wrong again.

The Story of Oil and where it comes from

The pseudo name for oil fuels should be changed to be appropriate to the actual source of oil. Diatom Fuel would be just fine or Sea-bottom Diatom Fuel.

Read this online booklet that takes you step by step through the process of oil creation

BioFuels Look worse by the day

Below is a writing that explains more problems with biofuels and the un-tested theory that they could put out less C02 than Sea-bottom diatom fuels(formerly known as Fossil fuels)

In two prior Editorials, those of 26 September 2007 and 10 October 2007, we describe two important scientific findings that refute the "creation care" contention of England's Sir John Houghton that "very large growth" in the biofuels industry will be required in taking the moral high-road to help slow CO2-induced global warming. Those findings are that: (1) in order to produce enough biofuels to offset a significant amount of fossil fuel usage, humanity would have to employ a large portion of earth's remaining arable land and freshwater resources, which would result in the driving of innumerable species of plants and animals to extinction due to massive habitat loss, and (2) forestation of the land area needed for biofuel production would likely remove much more carbon from the atmosphere than what would not be put into the air by using biofuels in the place of fossil fuels. Here, we describe yet a third way in which replacing fossil fuels with biofuels may be detrimental to earth's climate and the biosphere.

In an important new paper published on 1 August 2007 in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions, Crutzen et al. (2007) calculate the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) that would be released to the atmosphere as a result of using nitrogen fertilizer to produce the crops used for biofuels, which analysis, in their words, "only considers the conversion of biomass to biofuel" and "does not take into account the use of fossil fuel on ... farms and for fertilizer and pesticide production." As they describe it, this work revealed that "all past studies have severely underestimated the release rates of N2O to the atmosphere, with great potential impact on climate warming." And why would greater N2O emission rates have a tendency to cause the climate to warm? Because, in their vernacular, N2O "is a 'greenhouse gas' with a 100-year average global warming potential 296 times larger than an equal mass of CO2."

Look to the sun
An experiment by Danish scientists offers convincing evidence linking global warming to an increase in cosmic radiation

Ian Douglas Clark
Financial Post
Thursday, October 12, 2006


Since Newton's inadvertent experiment with gravity beneath the apple tree, scientists have constrained their theories of how nature operates with the need for experimental evidence -- replicable measurements and quantifiable data -- as proof. While the evidence may sometimes prove the obvious, it may also completely change the accepted view of fundamental processes. Ptolemy's theory of the Earth-centred solar system involved impossibly intricate gyrations of the sun, moon and planets. Copernicus' celestial measurements and Galileo's telescope provided experimental observations of moons orbiting Jupiter and reversals in planetary motion to prove we have a sun-centred solar system.

The science of global climate change is no different, where a heated debate exists between two theories -- climate warming forced by CO2 from human activities (anthropogenic global warming or AGW) and natural warming by changes in the Sun's activity.

Last week, the Danish National Space Center released the results of an experiment that demonstrates how cosmic rays could influence natural warming. In so doing, it ruptured a bedrock of some in the AWG camp. As put by Eigil Friis-Christensen, director of the Danish National Space Center, "Some said there was no conceivable way in which cosmic rays could influence cloud cover. [Our] experiment now shows how they do so, and should help to put the cosmic-ray connection firmly onto the agenda of international climate research."

For decades now, the 20th-century increase in global temperature has been largely blamed on the rise in CO2 from human activities. And why not, given that CO2 is a greenhouse gas that can trap infrared radiation and warm the atmosphere? The problem is that the rise in CO2 is not enough to account for this temperature rise. To compensate, the AGW theory assumes an amplification by water vapour of two to three times.

Water vapour is the major greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and accounts for as much as 95% of the natural greenhouse warming that keeps the Earth habitable. According to this theory, a minor amount of warming by CO2 triggers a larger increase in water vapour. Computer models incorporate this amplified forcing and extrapolate over the next 100 years to predict temperature increase of 1.5 degrees to 4.5 degreesC. Further extrapolation of climate feedbacks has produced the wild speculations of an overheated planet that have led to the catastrophic predictions of The Day After Tomorrow and An Inconvenient Truth.

Supporting the other side of the debate, there are remarkably strong correlations between measures of past solar activity and global temperature. For example, the coldest periods of the Little Ice Age, some 300 years ago, occurred when no sunspots were observed on the face of the sun. Moreover, the rise in temperature over the past 100 years occurred when the sun increased its output to its highest levels in the past 1,000 years.

The problem in this theory is that radiant heat from the more active sun is not enough to explain the rise in 20th-century temperatures. However, a change in solar activity affects more than the light the sun emits. It also changes the sun's magnetosphere that sweeps out past the Earth and partly shields us from the harmful high-energy cosmic radiation originating from supernovae deep in the Milky Way. The theory is that these cosmic rays affect our climate by ionizing particles and gases in our atmosphere. These ionized molecules act as nucleation points for water droplets and lead to the formation of clouds. Clouds reflect sunlight back into space and have by far the greatest impact on the Earth's energy balance and climate. Changes in solar activity, then, have a second and more potent impact on our climate through changes in the cosmic ray flux and thus on cloudiness.

This brings us to the burden of scientific evidence in the climate debate. Until now, the evidence for both sides has relied essentially upon wiggle-matching -- how well the ups and downs in temperature over time match with the ups and downs of solar activity, or of CO2 in the atmosphere. Until now, both theories lacked experimental evidence.

The Danish discovery has changed this. Researchers led by the Space Centre's Henrik Svensmark published experimental evidence in the proceedings of the prestigious British Royal Society showing that high-energy cosmic rays do have the ability to ionize molecules in our atmosphere and nucleate clouds. Mr. Svensmark's team managed to reproduce the gases and chemistry of the lower atmosphere inside a chamber of seven cubic metres. Into this simulated atmosphere, they fired a beam of charged particles like the high-energy cosmic radiation that manages to penetrate the Earth's magnetic shielding. Their measurements of the charged particles they created and the rates of nucleation match with those required to have a measurable impact on climate. They provide experimental evidence to support the theory.

The Danes are not the only team to have sought experimental evidence for cosmic ray forcing of the climate. University of Ottawa researcher Jan Veizer and colleague Nir Shaviv use geology and meteorites to show a cosmic ray connection with climate over the past 600-million years. The research team at CERN, the EU's foremost centre for high-energy physics, announced last month that their new CLOUD experiments would test the theory of cloud formation by cosmic rays. NASA is also taking the solar connection more seriously. This past spring, two new satellites were launched to collect data on the link between cloud formation and climate. All this activity signals a recognition that the solar-cosmic ray-cloudiness connection must be taken seriously in climate research.

While these Danish experiments provide new evidence to support the theory of solar-forcing of climate change, the CO2 warming theory remains untested and unverified. Beyond wiggle-matching, no experimental evidence has been produced to show that an increase in CO2 can accelerate the water cycle and increase greenhouse warming with water vapour. In fact, ice core evidence from the past shows that it doesn't.

In the natural sciences, if you can't measure it, you can't prove it.
