President Obama just made a melodramatic appeal at the United Nations for global measures to dramatically curb what he called “the climate threat,” current euphemism for what is more popularly known as Global Warming, the theory that man-made CO2 emissions from cars, coal plants and other man-made sources are causing the earth to warm to the point the polar icecaps are irreversibly melting and threatening to flood a quarter or more of the earth’s surface. There’s only one thing wrong with Mr. Obama’s dramatic scenario: it is scientifically utterly wrong.

Hey Buddy, It’s Cooling!

Posted by seumasach on July 10, 2009

Before you start crying “warming denial” it is as well to become aware that even the warmers have admitted that it isn’t actually warming , due to “natural climate variations” which they hadn’t taken into account. In the end, only the thermometer can resolve this implacable struggle between “warmers” and “warming deniers” or “coolers”

July 9, 2009 (LPAC) — Even as the U.S. Senate and the Group of 8 nations meeting in Italy continue their endless jabbering about greenhouse gases, nature is not cooperating.
