Global warming BS

Global warming is always a good humorous story. This article from the CNN website is at least heartening because it states that more Americians believe that global warming is a natural event, and indeed it is.

Global warming is natural, as is global cooling. The earth is always either warming, as it is now, or cooling. It’s how the earth has worked since its incepton four and a half billion years ago. The evidence for man-caused global warming has NEVER been there. But most of the people of the world don’t understand science so politicians — especially commie and socialist politicians — can convince them that we need a massive redistribution of the world’s wealth to stop global warming. Thank God some Americans are catching on to what is actually occurring.

I allude to this problem of commies becoming environmentalists in my Issue No. 120 article:

“One needs to understand the politics of the day. As BHM was being born, communism around the world was collapsing. Gorbachev was about to dissolve the Soviet Union, and the Berlin Wall was set to come down. It was an extraordinary worldwide repudiation of communism, and diehard communists and socialists were fleeing their sinking ship and hopping aboard its new horse, the worldwide environmental movement. They injected themselves into the movement, giving it tremendous momentum but distorting its altruistic goals with their socialist philosophy.”

Global warming is a fact that few scientists would dispute. But most scientists who are not dependent upon government funding to say otherwise would say that global warming is a natural cycle of the earth. I’ve talked about this before in this blog, but I can’t find the damn post. Suffice it to say that we have more to fear from global cooling than global warming.

    Well said – this is where most proponents of global warming get it wrong.

  2. carol Says:

    Isn’t it really a mute point as to whether global warming/cooling is manmade or nature made? In either case, won’t we possibly be extinct, as a result, just like the dinosaurs?

  3. Dave Duffy Says:

    No, but global cooling will probably mean a contraction of human populations. During the last glacial period, which ended about 12,000 years ago, ice sheets covered Canada and the upper third of the United States. If another glaciation occurs, and ice core data suggests we are near the end of the current interglacial, most of the population in that area will have to go elsewhere.

    Modern humans have lived through ice periods before, but the rise of civilization has occurred since the end of the last glaciation because warmer weather allowed nomadic humans to settle down in one place, raise food crops, and build cities. In other words, warm weather is good for humans, and cold weather is bad. Given the advanced state of technology now, I would hope that humans could survive another glaciation. The problem is that glaciations last much longer than interglacials. The last one lasted about 120,000 years.

    Wikipedia has a pretty good article on ice cores that reveal the weather going back 420,000 years. Especially enlightening is the chart under the heading “Ice core data” about half way down in the article that shows temperature, carbon dioxide, and dust levels of the last four glacial and interglacial periods. The ice core data is pretty compelling that earth is about at the end of the current interglacial period. Rather than preparing for global warming, humans should probably be preparing for global cooling.

    hi to all at BHM

    we hope this link is not to late but it really show how much the lunatics have taken over the asylum.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1235917/ROBERT-HARDMAN-More-drips-melting-iceberg-If-save-planet-really-doomed.html

    please keep BHM spreading its truthful and honest message we need some rational thinking to counteract this idiocy.
