Sorry to ruin the fun, but an ice age cometh

by Janet Crain
We are about to be ripped off by our own government to an extent never before heard of in a free country. This is due to the over hyped Global Warming hysteria created by Al Gore, a non-scientist who made mediocre grades in his required college science classes, aided and abetted by a liberal media and a bunch of Hollywood celebrities and, yes it must be said, elected leaders from both parties who have not taken the time to educate themselves.

Let one person dissent and they are ridiculed as bad selfish uncaring people. Children have been made to feel guilty for eating a hamburger! And it is all nonsense.

Al Gore makes a living from promoting these theories. He even got a Nobel prize. Meanwhile he jets around the country telling people to conserve fuel, while his utility bills at his home are more than a lot of people's annual income. I have managed to mostly ignore him and his adherents, to each his own and all that, but now we have a president about to take office who believes all this foolishness and intends to break this country with a cap and trade system which will bankrupt coal plants and send utility bills skyrocketing. (his own words)

Additionally cap and trade will add from 35 cents to $1. to the cost of a gallon of gasoline. They don't call this a tax, but it is. And it hits everyone at the same rate, rich and poor alike.

If the earth is actually getting cooler and it sure seems like the agencies listed in the article below would be trustworthy, then all these draconian measures are not only unnecessary, they are downright stupid.

THE scariest photo I have seen on the internet is www.spaceweather.com, where you will find a real-time image of the sun from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, located in deep space at the equilibrium point between solar and terrestrial gravity.

What is scary about the picture is that there is only one tiny sunspot.

Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously.

All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.

There is also plenty of anecdotal evidence that 2007 was exceptionally cold. It snowed in Baghdad for the first time in centuries, the winter in China was simply terrible and the extent of Antarctic sea ice in the austral winter was the greatest on record since James Cook discovered the place in 1770.
