Major Blow To Global Warming

by

*cue dramatic music*

*enter Global Warming, from stage Left, wearing black cape as usual*

GW: Dammit!  Just when I had those stupid humans eating out of my hand, Mother Nature has to intervene….again.

The average temperature in February 2007 was 32.9 F. This was -1.8 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 34th coolest February in 113 years. The temperature trend for the period of record (1895 to present) is 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.

She even got nasty when two snowstorms cancelled Congressional hearings on “climate change” in Washington, DC.

Damn her!

*Global Warming sulks over to his SUV, drives to the airport to take his Learjet back to California where he will retreat for a few weeks to his 10,000 sq. foot mansion which consumes 20 times the average American’s electric bill*

George Bush More “Green” Than Gore

by

Oh, this is just priceless.

Is it possible that George Bush is a secret Green?  Evidently his Crawford Winter White House has 25,000 gallons of rainwater storage, gray water collection from sinks and showers for irrigation, passive solar, geothermal heating and cooling. “By marketplace standards, the house is startlingly small,” says David Heymann, the architect of the 4,000-square-foot home. “Clients of similar ilk are building 16-to-20,000-square-foot houses.”

Furthermore for thermal mass the walls are clad in “discards of a local stone called Leuders limestone, which is quarried in the area. The 12-to-18-inch-thick stone has a mix of colors on the top and bottom, with a cream-colored center that most people want. “They cut the top and bottom of it off because nobody really wants it,” Heymann says. “So we bought all this throwaway stone. It’s fabulous. It’s got great color and it is relatively inexpensive.”

Meanwhile, at Stately Gore Manor in Nashville….

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average. 
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year.   As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.  Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
“In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.”

Pajamas Media has exclusive photos of the Gore Mansion here.

Oh.. remember how Bush’s Crawford, TX house is only 4,000 square feet?  Well, check this out.

According to Schweizer, the Gores own three homes: a 10,000-square-foot home in Nashville, Tennessee; a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Virginia (across the Potomac River from Washington, DC); and a third home of undisclosed size in Carthage, Tennessee. Neutral Source has verified the Gores own a 2.1 acre property at 312 Lynnwood Blvd. in the Belle Meade section of Nashville, Tennessee

According to MLS data, these houses are 9,727, 7,340, and 9,878 square feet respectively. So we can confirm that it’s quite plausible that the Gores’ Nashville home is, as Schweizer claims, 10,000 square feet.

Gulfstream Liberals at it again.  Do as I say, not as I do.  But at least Gore doesn’t have the largest home in the county he lives in.  That prize falls to the Democrats’ 2004 Veep candidate, John “Two Americas” Edwards and his sprawling, energy-sucking, 28,000 square foot luxury estate.

What hypocrites.  They don’t want to save energy, they want power (in many ways) for themselves.  They just don’t want YOU to have the lifestyle you have earned for yourself.

Global Warming Strikes Again!

by

*cue dramatic villan music*

*Global Warming enters stage left, twisting his moustache, his black cape fluttering behind*

Global Warming:  Bwa-ha-ha!  I’ll show you how much power I have over you pathetic humans!

Take THIS…

HONOLULU (KHNL) – Spring is nearly upon us, but a chill is sweeping the state.

With temperatures dipping into the 50’s in some neighborhoods people are talking about the cold spell.

…and THIS…

(State College, PA) – The bitterly cold temperatures and heavy lake-effect snow are combining to create chaotic conditions across the eastern half of the nation. An Alberta Clipper on Tuesday will add to the weather mess, bringing snow to areas from the upper Plains to the mid-Atlantic states.

Rail and air travel has been curtailed, highway travel around the Great Lakes is treacherous, schools have been closed, water mains have burst and people and animals run the risk of exposure that could lead to frostbite or hypothermia.

…and THIS!

A bone-chilling cold wave with temperatures as low as 42 below zero shut down schools for thousands of youngsters Monday, sent homeless people into shelters and put car batteries on the disabled list from the northern Plains across the Great Lakes. At least four deaths were linked to the cold weather.

The cold was accompanied by snow that was measured in feet in parts of upstate New York.

GW:  Oh wait, that doesn’t make any sense at all.  Mother Nature is making me look like a fool!

Global Warming’s Worst Year?

by

2006 has been a really bad year if you are that evil foe of mankind — Global Warming.  (Someone should make a cartoon character!)

First, early snows in the Midwest.  And now the news that the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season was a total dud. (h/t – Cake Or Death?)

Zero: The number of storms that formed in October, the first time since 2002 that no storms formed that month. Also, no Category 4 or 5 storms formed this year for the first time since 1997.

So what happened? Lots.

Storms were starved for fuel after ingesting masses of dry Saharan dust and air over the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the storm-snuffing dust was more abundant than usual this year.

In the season’s peak, storms were curving right like errant field goals. High pressure that normally hunkers near Bermuda shifted far eastward, and five storms rode the clockwise winds away from Florida.

Finally, a rapidly growing El Nino, a warming of water over the tropical Pacific Ocean, shifted winds high in the atmosphere southward. The winds left developing storms disheveled and unable to become organized.

As they say about the stock market: Past results are no indication of future performance.

Unless you are Al Gore and his band of Loony Liberals who have a lot of money riding on scaring the American public about every cloud and breeze that comes by each year.

Here is my key question:  If the over-active 2005 Hurricane Season, featuring Katrina, was Bush’s Fault…. does he get credit for the lack of storms in 2006?  Or is that Nancy Pelosi’s success?

Global Warming (with his black cape flowing behind):  And I would have ruined the Gulf Coast this year too… if it weren’t for you pesky kids!

It Must Be Global Warming!

by

‘Dangerous storm’ slams Northeast, snarls traffic – CNN.com

Central Park in New York recorded nearly 23 inches by late morning, and CNN meteorologist Bonnie Schneider said areas farther north could expect amounts approaching that as the day goes on.

The snow total was just short of the record 26.4 inches that fell in December 1947.

So was there “global warming” going on in 1947, too??

Canadian Trees Defend Country, Destroy Earth

by

First, Chad @ Cake Or Death? informed us that Canadian officials had begun to blame the United States for a record year of gun deaths in Toronto. (Perhaps a fence to the north is needed too? Fine with me!)

Well, according to a new Stanford environmentalist, perhaps the Canuck forests are fighting back and raining doom down on all of us…

Forests may be bad for planet, controversial US study says – Edmonton Journal

Canada’s forests may actually worsen global warming rather than cool the planet, says a controversial study by a Stanford University physicist and environmental scientist.

This doesn’t mean we should bulldoze forests to fight global warming, says Ken Caldeira. Forests are still valuable ecological features in many ways.

But he says it’s “premature at least,” and maybe even dead wrong, to plant new forests and maintain existing ones in the belief that this will cool the Earth. If we want to stop global warming, he says, we’d better begin by burning less fossil fuel.

So let me get this right. Now the tree huggers have stabbed their pulpuous allies in the backs by destroying the forests in order to cool the earth!! That is so rich.

You know, I’m starting to lose track. The envirowackos tell us that severe heat is a symptom of global warming! Then bitter cold! Then drought, but then floods… .every weather condition the earth has experienced for billions of years is now evidence of global warming. Well, you can’t have it all ways. It is either warming or cooling. Pick one!

And now trees are causing global warming! Among other things yesterday, hearing this story on Rush Limbaugh nearly caused me to wreck my car. As one caller said, “what is left for the liberals to hug?”
