I denied “Global Warming” before it was cool

I did it my way. Just when the warming hysteria was picking up steam four or five years ago, I was busy labeling it hooey, and I did it based on no evidence. I didn't need any. It was up to the poli-scis to provide the evidence. And they hadn't. In fact, they still haven't. Not one thing you've heard about the "reality" of "global warming," CO2, or Al Gore stands up to either scientific scrutiny or the rules of evidence. Gore himself is actually a little troll inside a puffy plastic blowup doll.

 

A) We need the warmth, and…

2) That still won't prove any of the warming is anthropogenic (I'll pause while liberals look that up).

And since the rest of you have been good enough to follow my reasoning this far, here's a…

Bonus: If Ted Turner's right, I'd pay good money to see life imitate the picture he painted, wouldn't you? I mean, most of the people on Earth dead, and the rest eating each other, and not for fun and pleasure like we do now? If you made a movie about that, no one would believe it and the reviews would be terrible. And if you think the real estate market's bad now, imagine LA with three million homes and two million of them vacant!? It would pretty much kill flipping as we know it.

In other words, I want to beat these so-called scientists at their own game… er… scam. I want warming theoreticians to collapse under their own weight (they're all fat, you know), so if the climate cools, that settles nothing. These hotshots will still be watching and waiting for their next opportunity to profit from fear.

Gorecarthyism ought to be more than enough right now for people to turn a blind ear to the dirtbags.. oh, and by the way, they'll still be dirtbags even if they turn out to be right, because science is built on skepticism and debate, and they want none of that. But consensus is meaningless to the true scientist, since all it takes is for one person's discovery to upset the whole Apple Cart Theory.

You know that one, I heard it on Jeopardy; it's about how when a cart collapses under the weight of too many fruits, it's mathematically possible for at least one apple to fall up. Of course, when that actually happens, they'll need a new term since it's semantically impossible for something to fall anywhere but down, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

So let's not be thrilled that temperatures worldwide might be decreasing, because cold cills… I mean, chills, and that's all it will do to warming blather – chill it, when what's really required is absolute zero.

If the world cools, the only satisfaction we'll get is that then we can make our own documentary showing scientists floating on ice slabs of the Bahamas, and polar bears standing onshore laughing at them. And if you ask me how they got on those ice floes in the first place, I won't know a thing.

Global warming McCarthyism or the Church of Climatology?

Here is Glenn Beck exposing the infantile science of climatology. This is interesting commentary underscoring the "tolerance" exhibited from climate change enthusiasts when their views are questioned. The response can be quite shrill.

I have seen similar things happen in the blogosphere. The other night I was hanging out at a site which happens to be a haven for global warming sympathizers. There was a post there which went to great lengths to prove the "fact" of global warming (it's a fact I don't disagree with by the way; I just think the evidence is inconclusive). When someone commented who didn't agree with the writer's position on warming, he (the commenter) was told any further dissent would be unceremoniously deleted. When I questioned this "open" approach to honest dissent, I was told that dissenting views against global warming theories rank right up there with belief in Sasquatch, the Yeti, the Tooth Fairy, & the Easter Bunny. Absurd ideas like that need not be entertained.

Personally, I like entertaining Sasquatch and the Easter Bunny; they're a heck of a lot more fun, tons more ecofriendly, eminently more interesting, and certainly more tolerant than the Warming Nazi Cult.

 
The Age Of Endarkenment

Here's a twist: "The lights are off, but everybody's home!"

That could just be the new slogan that saves the planet from all possible disasters both known and unknown. I like it.

So, do you feel cooler today after the world shut its lights off for an hour night before last? If all went as planned, summer will arrive a day later this year and take some pressure off the butterflies.

I don't know about where you live, but something amazing occurred right here in Phoenix night before last. The news report said that at Chase field, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, in the seventh inning, they closed the retractable dome in observance of "Earth Hour."

Did you get that? The article didn't say they played baseball in the dark That could only benefit the Diamondbacks this season. No, they closed the dome so that those enormously bright lights weren't visible to inspectors.

OK, there probably weren't any inspectors, but one day there will be, don't you think? And fines? And imprisonment?

Maybe that's too strong. It'll probably just be jail time. So at least your relatives will be able to visit without traveling for hours, burning gas, and adding a thousand times more CO2 to the air than your light bulb did.

And isn't the Diamondbacks' gesture the perfect symbolism for the "movement?" It says, "We'll keep doing what we've been doing, we'll just be less obvious." Hollywood does it even better. The stars fly all over, many in private planes, and they tell you to conserve. The stars are exempt, and you want it that way because after all, the show must go on.

So if you're one who joyously participated in "Earth Hour," do congratulate yourself. You added a little more darkness to our world. What should we call it, D'Earth? That's French, you know. And what shall we call you participants? By Jove, I think I've got it! How about Darkies?
