Random Nuclear Strikes

Part the Turd

The Goracle was most likely frightened that he might be losing disciples what with the extended winter currently happening when he called up his big-gun media sycophants at CBS.

Self-avowed “P.R. agent for the planet” Al Gore says those who still doubt that global warming is caused by man – among them, Vice President Dick Cheney – are acting like the fringe groups who think the 1969 moon landing never really happened, or who once believed the world is flat.

Nice little title he’s given himself, eh?

That’s rich! Seeing as how it was “The Consensus” way back when who said the Earth was flat.

So I’m a “spherical denier” now, too? This guy really is an ass who needs to give it up in the face of new evidence and admit that humans aren’t changing the climate.

Or, he can make it easy and get on the bandwagon for Global Cooling.

Speaking of which, more snow today in the PacNW today. One full week after the start of Spring.

Also, I forgot to put this into yesterday’s Global Warming Death Cult post, but just a weekend or two ago a herd of Elk were spotted in the median where State Route 18 meets up with Interstate 90.

Not since those two roads were joined has the snowpack been known to have pushed elk down that low to find food. For those who know I-90 halfway well, that is west of the burg of North Bend by about 10 miles (aka: only 25 miles from Downtown Seattle). Thankfully, none of the weekend warriors who were skunked during the regular season took the opportunity to fill their tags.

If they had, they’d be bigger pukes than AssGore.

Climate Skeptic points out what happens when a scientist actually thinks through the implications of the newest satellite data:

“What all the climate models suggest is that, when you’ve got warming from additional carbon dioxide, this will result in increased water vapour, so you’re going to get a positive feedback. That’s what the models have been indicating.

What this great data from the NASA Aqua satellite … (is) actually showing is just the opposite, that with a little bit of warming, weather processes are compensating, so they’re actually limiting the greenhouse effect and you’re getting a negative rather than a positive feedback….

I think they’re about to recognise that the models really do need to be overhauled and that when they are overhauled they will probably show greatly reduced future warming projected as a consequence of carbon dioxide….

The policy implications are enormous. The meteorological community at the moment is really just coming to terms with the output from this NASA Aqua satellite and (climate scientist) Roy Spencer’s interpretation of them. His work is published, his work is accepted, but I think people are still in shock at this point.”“

On posting about this fairy tale that nearly the entire leftosphere posted about yesterday in their effort to make sure the Fool-Aid drinking cultists don’t stop believing.

A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.Satellite images show the disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica that started Feb. 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds of years, maybe 1,500.

This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.

I’m not going to question Vaughan’s intelligence, but I do wonder just a little bit about his integrity.

He surely must know that the ice sheet he’s talking about flows like a river into the Antarctic ocean. He must also surely know that it is possible that the sheet was just too large for the pivot point where it connects to the terra firm to hold on to; The pivot being either too thin or the sheet too thick or a combination of the two.

Is this a big thing? Sure. Newsworthy even. Does it mean much? Nope. It is simply something we non-Global Warming Death Cultists call: Nature. (hit that link)

Look it up, Vaughan.

Speaking of the Cultists, nearly a foot of snow fell in the eastern side of King County last night, bringing out the call of “Weather Isn’t Climate!” across the local portion of the leftosphere. I’ll have to be reminding them of that quote come July, I’m sure.

Oddly enough, large portion of the rest of the county and the two counties north and south of King also got coated with the white stuff, though the urban Seattle Metro area was spared the horror.

Using the Global Warming Death Cultist’s logic, I am only to conclude that urban areas cause Global Warming. With this understanding, light suburban and rural property owners should see a rise in the value of their property as the city dwellers flee for their lives.

Or, it could just also have been the Rain Shadow caused by the Olympic Mountain Range working in Seattle’s favor.
