Over the last week we have been treated to stories of intense heat in Australia. Pictures even on Drudge showing people sweltering, toasting.
Temperatures in the low HUNDREDS. 115F. Look at this news story. Makes you think the gates of hell have opened, doesn't it.
It all seemed a bit weird to me. Now, to be sure you understand, while the northern hemisphere is having record cold and snow globally, the southern hemisphere is having summer. February is to Australia what August is to the USA. So warm in summer and cold in winter stands. Every Year.
It seems like these stories, even on Drudge, are strategically planted to offset the raging doubt over global warming. If you Google Australian Heat you get hundreds of current stories about how darn hot it is down there.
My BS-O-Meter went off. Something smelled.
So I asked mr Internets (thank you Al Gore for inventing that anyhow) to give me an official weather service readout of all the high temps for the last month.
Whaddaya think? Their highs and lows look about the same as August Highs and Lows do and have historically been in Chicago. Or even North Dakota. I recall many August highs in NODAK well over 100 degrees. And well before Global Warming, 1936 the highest temp was 114 degrees in Bismarck. I'm not impressed Australia. IT'S SUMMER. READ THE CALENDER.
So, Why are we being treated to this line of baloney? Because people are losing faith in Gaia and her ability to punish those miscreants who will not sacrifice future generations on the altar of Human Caused Global Warming. The priests of Gaia and her Pope Al Gore are using the Media (what a surprise) to cause those of us who are faithless to be shunned. A recent Rasmussen poll says 59 percent of those surveyed don’t believe mankind is warming up the planet. Time for the old Groundhog to come out and shake his icy finger at us.
Sorry Al and Gaia. I'm not a believer, come to think of it, I never was. Time to get real here.

Nobody's calling it 'global warming' anymore because it has nothing to so with specific warming of local weather. So the term has been rejected as misleading. Now, scientists are using 'climate change' which is more accurate. Scientist which overwhelmingly regard climate change as a problem, by the way. In the end, we don't know for sure the result, but climate is changing faster than before people burned fossil fuels in such massive quantities. Ocean currents being slowed or stopped could have results of ice ages in some areas. Changes in global air currents could result in tropics where tropics weren't before as well as glaciers where they weren't before. So if you are going to continue to rail against 'global warming', no one will take you seriously. You must read up on 'climate change' now and asjust you target. Sorry to increase your work load. Just as "GW" Bush is 'out' so is "GW" as the name for climate change.
Climate change...it has ebbed and flowed for centuries...and will continue to do so. God is the creator, owner, sustainer, and preserver of all...
yep, god preserved the mastadon and the carrier pigeon and the saber tooth tiger when those climate changes happened. will most certainly save the humans this time around.
or is it 'god helps those that help themselves' and if we don't help ourselves out of this mess we made by wrecking too much of nature, we are on our own to sink into oblivion and new life forms evolve to replace us.
deny all you want while others work to save your butt. god ain't fixin' nothin'.
too bad that there is no climate change in hell.
