As the world cools, the alarmists claims get wilder.

Although there has not been a scientific link made between CO2 and "Global Warming" with 20 years of research, and although science has effectively proven that the world is now in a cooling cycle; the alarmists are predicting wilder and wilder fantasies.

From Today's Washington Post:
Long Droughts, Rising Seas Predicted Despite Future CO2 Curbs, By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, January 27, 2009.


"....if carbon dioxide concentrations peak at 600 ppm, several regions of the world -- including southwestern North America, the Mediterranean and southern Africa -- will face major droughts as bad or worse than the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Global sea levels will rise by roughly three feet by the year 3000, a projection that does not factor in melting glaciers and polar ice sheets that would probably result in significant additional sea level rises."

Sea level rises of three feet? There goes the neighbourhood!
Hey! How about proving the CO2 causal link before going off half-cocked!

Hudson Air Crash Caused by Global Warming - NOT

Time Magazine ( I used to get Time every week and respected the articles found in it!) blamed the bird-strike that brought down an Airbus passenger aircraft in the Hudson River, New York, on "global warming".

Christopher Monckton on Right Side News put out a more realistic argument.


"The Time article said that "Wildlife mitigation" was the official term for avoiding bird strikes. A report published in June 1988 by the Federal Aviation Administration had found that since 1990 the number of bird strikes had quadrupled, from 1,759 in 1990 to a record 7,666 in 2007. According to Time, "Officials cite a number of possible causes for the increase", including "habitat destruction and climate change", which "have disrupted migratory patterns". Time adds, "Al Gore should be very proud of himself."
The truth: As the article also points out (though not in the headline), most commercial airlines are replacing three-engine and four-engine aircraft with twin-engine aircraft. The newer engines are quieter, so birds are less likely to detect and avoid them. Also, aircraft with fewer engines are less able to survive bird-strikes."

Lord Monckton lists the 7 worst fatalities due to bird strike. They occurred in Oct 60(Boston); Nov 62 (Maryland); Sept88 (Ethiopia); Apl90 (Off Panama); Sept95 (Alaska); Apl2000 (Congo); Jan07 (France).

"The geographical spread of the bird strikes shows that there is no basis whatever for the suggestion that "global warming" has aggravated the problem. Bird strikes have occurred in all parts of the globe, from the tropics to the Arctic, and they have involved birds of all kinds. Birds, like most species on earth, are necessarily tolerant of different climates. This tolerance of varying temperatures is essential to survival, since the temperature difference between a summer's day and a winter's night, in the same location, can be at least 100 times greater than the 0.74 °C (1.3 °F) difference between mean global surface temperature 100 years ago and today."

Another spurious article incorrectly attributing something unrelated to (anthropogenic) global warming?

"Al Gore, mentioned with approval in Time's article, complains in the entertaining fiction book that accompanies his inaccurate movie An Inconvenient Truth, that pied flycatchers can no longer hatch at the right time to feed their young on the customary species of caterpillar, which "hatch two weeks earlier after 20 years of ‘global warming'". He is careful not to point out that "global warming" has been happening not for 20 years but for 300. He is also careful not to point out that, even if the caterpillars were indeed becoming available a couple of weeks later in the year than previously, the birds would merely have to fly a few miles further north to find caterpillars that hatched at a more convenient moment.

Some Quotes:

"Propaganda is fuelling the new Global Warming hysteria."

"Gore flies his own jet (not commercial airlines) Well, don't preach to me!"

"Is it real science? -No, it's a seriously flawed theory."

"It's no coincidence that environmentalism really took off after the fall of Communism."

Al Gore says Polar Ice Cap will disappear in 5 years

Al Gore(Link in title) has predicted that the entire North Pole Ice cap will disappear in 5 years and in case you don't get it he holds up a spread hand indicating five.

He can easily see that there is a build-up in Arctic Ice on the "Cryosphere today" site.

As the temperature comes down, Gore's idiocy goes up!

Again a Global Warming Gabfest hit with cold weather. When do you think they will start to look for funding for Global Cooling?
