Whatever happened to GLOBAL WARMING????

What happened to all that scare talk about global warming? You know, the polar ice caps are melting and the world is in for record high temperatures while green house gasses are eating away at the planet and folks are leaving their carbon footprints all over the place?

Don't get me wrong--I'm as conservation conscious as the next guy--and I like a green, clean planet. But the delusions of grandeur among mere mortal men totally cracks me up--as if they could really stop the earth from turning, or have the slightest effect on what has now been flagged as 'climate change'

Yes, indeedy! Since scientists and conservationists are baffled by the RECORD COLD temperatures in many places on this 3rd rock from the sun. . . we can no longer call this phenomenon 'global warming'. . . we now refer to what is happening to our planet as 'climate change.'

What a novel concept!

Take into account the fact that:

1)Last year the start of winter in South America was the coldest ever recorded. Why, in Buenos Aires it snowed for the first time in 89 years!

2)Let's look at Africa, Johannesburg, to be exact. Why they received their first snowfall last year in over 25 years!

3) Australia has had some record COLD summers the past few years.

4) And our friends to the north in Canada are bracing themselves for one of their coldest winters ever!

5) In my own little northwestern town they tell me our recent 'arctic blast' was the worst ever seen in 40 years!

According to experts, last year's global temperature was exactly the same as the year before. . . and the year before that. . . and the year before that! In fact, the temperature of this lil' orb has not changed much since the record set in 1998. That's when PANIC and the 'global warming' awareness set in.

Guess what? For a decade and counting, there has been no global warming! Now the experts tell us that carbon dioxide emissions are NOT to blame for 'global climate change' (FYI: we had to stop the 'global warming' moniker since it wasn't appropriate anymore) Here is what they've since come up with:

It's. . . wait for it now. . . THE SUN! Holy Ball of Burning Gasses, Batman--experts now claim that THE SUN seems to be the main agent in affecting our planet and climate change.

Ya THINK?



Why TONS of these brainiacs have gotten together to declare with emphatic assurance that climate change is a well known phenomenon--that the earth will go through cyclic periods of warm and cold as it makes its way across our galaxy.

Why--we could have an 'El Nino' (and then again--we could have a 'La Nina') It just depends!

I'm so glad that we have these folks in the know to tell us all this hard-to-figure-out highly technical scientific stuff, or else I could still be blaming these freezing cold temperatures and my pipes bursting and driveway covered in ice on the Polar Ice Caps melting because of too many folks barbecuing too many steaks.
