It's an inconvenient truth!  This winter has been one of the most brutal in decades.

Well, you are missing the point.  Global Warming can obviously cause much higher temperatures, high sea levels, and the end of civilization.  It is more dangerous than terrorism.  Oh, wait, that is obesity.  But, frankly, there is a link between obesity and Global Warming.  People eat more and then exhale more.  

But, clearly, since Global Warming is a scientifically proven FACT and it has been peer reviewed, you know!  And NO article refuting Global Warming has EVER been peer reviewed, you know!  And Global Warming is caused by GW Bush, you know.  Like, that is is why it starts with "GW."  And Bush lied, people died, you know!  

And besides just because the whole planet is warming up that doesn't mean it can't get really cold at the same time.  Haven't you ever heard of ICY HOT, you know!

Before reading the linked article, I knew that it would contain some Global Warming "Scientician" claiming that we wer shutting down the Ocean's thermo-haline conveyor; & that's why it's so cold.  

Like all global warming theories, this one is preposterous.  According to GW clowns, a few years of melting ice can shut this conveyor down - permanently.  However, the increased ice caused by the shut down can't possibly restart this conveyor.

The list of things wrong with this theory are staggerring, yet without any real evidence, it, too, has become accepted "consensus" scientific "FACT".  They just won't give up.  They will not see reason, and they refuse to actually apply the scientific method.  Hypothesis and speculation sans evidence are PROVEN FACT to Global Warming advocates.  This doesn't just apply to the theory as a whole, but to the individual pieces of GW theory.

Of course, for YEARS, according to the GW thermo-haline conveyor "shutdown" theory, the primary effect would be freezing temps in Englend and Western Europe.  Guess what part of the globe ISN"T mentioned in the article?  According to the theory, there would be no immediate freezing effects in N. America, China, Mongolia, Siberia; and there might even be short term warming in those areas while Europe freezes.

So, again; GW "scienticians" A) make prediction; B) observe opposite of that prediction, then; C) claim opposing evidence is PROOF of the original theory.



Anyway, my favorite b.s. GW "evidence" is the increase in atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, which, up until this decade, was measured at ONLY ONE SPOT ON THE GLOBE --- 15 miles from the most active volcano on the planet.
It's reliable though, .... really.



I just want to know what will happen to these Global Warmists, when, in 20 yrs or so, everyone recognizes it as a farce, and a hoax?  Modern Piltdown man.  What happens to these idiots then?  I demand vengeance, or at least unending mockery.

BRRRRR.  With all this Global Warming going on I really miss my sweater.  Any body seen it?  It used to be in Mr. Roger's closet next to his cardigan.

Sorry, Paleocon, I'm in Pittsburgh, home of Mr. Rogers.  His descendents gave all the sweaters in his closet, including your's to the Mayor for the Heinz Museum.  However, he gave them all  to the millions of homeless, starving children in Pittsburgh, the ones whose parents don't have health insurance.   It's colder than heck here.  Gotta keep those little children warm, ya know?  Thanks for your contribution.
