By the way, here is some more bad news about Global Warming: it's happening a lot faster and more dramatically than we thought.

P#s seems to have disappeared for a bit, but a few tidbits I've stumbled across and find interesting.

From The Wall Street Journal ( link)

Highlights:

"[An Inconvenient truth] talks about a sea-level rise of 20 feet. In his movie he [Gore] shows scary sequences of 20-feet flooding Florida, San Francisco, New York, Holland, Calcutta, Beijing and Shanghai. But were realistic levels not dramatic enough? The U.N. climate panel expects only a foot of sea-level rise over this century. Moreover, sea levels actually climbed that much over the past 150 years."

"Mr. Gore says that global warming will increase malaria and highlights Nairobi as his key case. According to him, Nairobi was founded right where it was too cold for malaria to occur. However, with global warming advancing, he tells us that malaria is now appearing in the city. Yet this is quite contrary to the World Health Organization's finding. Today Nairobi is considered free of malaria, but in the 1920s and '30s, when temperatures were lower than today, malaria epidemics occurred regularly. "

Antarctica. "He presents pictures from the 2% of Antarctica that is dramatically warming and ignores the 98% that has largely cooled over the past 35 years. The U.N. panel estimates that Antarctica will actually increase its snow mass this century. Similarly, Mr. Gore points to shrinking sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere, but don't mention that sea ice in the Southern Hemisphere is increasing. "

The Opinion writer isn't alone. Recent headlines of articles from several noted climatologists report dissent among the "ranks" and a big brew-ha-ha by The Weather Channel's head to decertify any weatherman that is skeptical of Global warming...hmmm, "Agree or get fired!", that's a convincing argument.

The best part? The defense of global warming has already shifted from "Global warming" to "dramatic climate change"...Dramatic from what? Last week? No kidding Rolling Eyes

. It was 70 degrees in January here last week...It snowed last night. Global warming my foot.

Well Pondering, we all know how dramatic a full scale hurricane is and how it is a change from the peaceful weather prior to it, so I guess we will see dramatic changes in the weather...

Have you read about Global dimming yet?
