After reading quite a bit lately regarding "global warming," I am coming to the conclusion that it really doesn’t exist. While I have held the position that it did, but was more a force of the Earth and the Sun, it is starting to look like it just is not real.
But, that is a post for a different day. For the moment, lets look at another hysterical report from the MSM:
Climate change could melt the top 11 feet of Alaska permafrost by the end of the century, according to a new study.
The federal study applied one supercomputer climate models to the future of permafrost.
Under the most extreme scenario outlined, warming temperatures could thaw the top 11 feet of permafrost near the ground surface in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere by 2100, altering ecosystems across Alaska, Canada and Russia.
First of all, where’s the science? For all intense purposes, meteorologists have a tough time forecasting past 10 days, and quite often the forecasts change day to day. It was supposed to be snow showers on the Jersey coast today, at least when I saw the weather last Thursday. That changed quickly by Saturday. It was actually sunny, today. So how can a computer program predict 95 years from now? It is an extrapolation based on the wishes of those who programmed the computer.
Second, none of the reports show any real temperature changes going up, except in metropolitan areas. In most cases, the average temps over the past 150 years have gone down, slightly. So how is the temperature going to go up? Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an itty bitty tiny little fraction of the makeup.
Third, this is supposedly the most extreme case. Great. What about the other outcomes? Did the supercomputer spit out other ones? How about putting them in the story?
Science involves research, not wishful thinking.
I have caught a lot of flack for making fun of global warming in the past. Glad to have you aboard the “it is the way the world is” bandwagon. Enjoy your SUV!
Oh gosh, I always thought the global warming theory was a bunch of hooey. You know, the sky is falling! The sky is falling! The earth is warming! The earth is warming!
Okay, I don’t know much about science, but I don’t understand what the big deal is.

Recently, we were notified by Dreamhost (the hosting service were using) that this little blog is using more server resources than it should.
The reason its an issue is that, well, Im cheap. Im not making money on this lit…
I did believe in it, thought it was happening as it led in to an ice age. There is a correlation between melting ice caps and the start of an ice age. Cold fresh water in the oceans circulatory patterns causes major issues, leading to global cooling.
I always thought that the question shouldn’t be “is global warming happening?” but “how much of an effect does man have on it?”
But alot of stuff, scientific journals with actual research, scientific research, is putting this in a different light. For instance, the average mean temp of NYC has gone up several degrees over the last 100 years. But smaller, much less urban areas within 100 miles of NYC show temps that have gone down in the same time period. And that is a pattern that occurs around the world. Urban areas are much hotter.
