We're Gonna Need a Little Global Warming this Winter

We're Getting Colder, Not Warmer

If only global warming were real. Unfortunately temperatures are determined not by Al Gore's ideology, nor by the authoritarian bureauweenies who seek to exploit it, but by the Sun. Like the climate, the Sun's output naturally fluctuates — and it appears to be on the wane:

All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

In stark contrast to warming, cooling really is a problem:

Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans — and most of the crops and animals we depend on — prefer a temperature closer to 70.
Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

A drop in temperatures would have only one benefit: in light of all the hysterical lies we've been told about global warming, at least a few people might learn better than to believe anything they're told by the media, the government, Al Gore or the United Nations.

enviro-hysteria ignores reality.

The global warming crowd doesn't like it when you provide the truth. I have learned through blogging, you can question Obama. You can question Bill and Hill. You can question almost any liberal issue, but once you question global warming, you are attacked on a level I have never seen before. They aren't giving the whole truth. In my recent blog, What Al Gore isn't Telling You, you learn he is misrepresenting fossil history and the two culprits behind the intense temperatures as evidenced in four ages of fossils.

Scientists shouldn't let political considerations influence their conclusions, but this is what has happened with global warming. It's bad science and dishonest.
