WTF! New recored temperatures reveal massive Global Cooling

[Walter Sobchak]

Apparently, there have been new records of temperature drops all over the world INCLUDING snow in BAGHDAD [The first time they have EVER seen snow] and like the article says, this has all happened within the period of the last 12 months.

One of the side effects of global warming is an increase in extreme weather.

While I don't know how sound it is, it makes a lot more sense than the things that the media and Gore would have you believe.

The media and Gore? Ha.

The planet goes through hot and cold cycles due to many things. That isn't being disputed. But we are being childish if we dismiss the impact our burning of fuel and other resources has on the environment.

When did anti-intellectualism become such a fad? Do you people really think scientists are making this up?

This hypothesis never had significant scientific support, but gained temporary popular attention due to press reports following a better understanding of ice age cycles and a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s. Earth as a whole has not been cooling in recent decades, but is in a period of global warming.

What happens when Global Warming causes the polar ice caps to melt? The now thawed ice (i.e. cold water) starts to cool off more water which circulates the globe and causes cooler weather, then eventually has to heat up again via Global Warming. It swings back and forth but the final word is...Global Warming is real.

The question you should ask yourself is, what's causing it. I do NOT think that it is anthropogenic, but most scientists will tell you it is... More to learn, we still have[/Yoda voice].

Oh, I've heard both sides of the argument, but I've also heard how much our own planet releases similar or same chemicals as our fuels do, I.E. those volcanoes that emit more CO2 into the atmosphere than more than we ever have. So yes, it would be stupid to say that we've had nothing to do with it because there are times when our industrialization has made a impact, but compared to what nature is spewing out it's a minor impact.

I wouldn't call it anti-intellectualism, but moreso claiming "bullshit" on what they think is happening. I mean if there was empirical proof that man was to blame for the earth's warming and cooling then I'd jump on the bandwagon like everybody else, yet there's not and there are many questions they can't seem to answer.

Besides, science advancement doesn't advance if you don't question the theories and in this case there is some evidence supporting that idea of man-made destruction, and also evidence against it.

Anyway, it wouldn't be the first time some scientist made something up as not all of them are reliable. I wouldn't consider Gore a scientist either and since he helped popularize this mainstream idea I couldn't simply trust his words as truth because of it; him and other scientist that are under his wing, of course.

FOX News does.


In all seriousness, it's beyond documented that the earth IS INDEED warming. There is no concrete evidence to support the theory that it's caused by "green house gasses" or the burning of fossil fuels, but I believe if it is indeed OUR fault, the earth will fix it's self, even if it means going into another ice age to wipe most of us out.

We aren't even a blip on the radar that is the life span of the earth. It'll far outlive us, even if it has to kill us to do it.


Just thought I'd throw this out there....

Sunday's weather here was amazing. Mid to low 60s, at least. Clear skies, cool winds, great day to be outside, I even went for a bike ride.
Monday was raining and shit-**** cold.
Tuesday we got 8-12 inches of snow and it was even more shit-**** cold.
Wednesday we hit 45 almost 50 degrees and ALL of the snow is gone.
