Yeh, yeh, I know the fallacy of arguing weather conditions to counter blather from The Cult of Anthropogenic Global Climate Scare-ism, but since the cult regularly fakes “data” and turns a blind eye to the elephants in the room (we don’t even know what the solar constant is anymore, not that we ever really did, and only Ian Pilmer, once a well-respected geologist who is now vilified by the CAGCS for raising inconvenient facts, seems to be seriously addressing the role of volcanism in climate), I feel in no mood to play fair with The Cult of Anthropogenic Global Climate Scare-ism. So there.
So, on the first week and a bit of “Spring” here in America’s Third World County, we’ve had freezing temps overnight, every night, and temps only today began climbing into the plus 50 degrees Fahrenheit range.
Gotta be that Global Warming, eh, since these temps are unusually cool for early Spring around here.
*feh*
Do note that some CAGCS cultist loonies are actually asserting anthropogenic causes for increased volcanic activity. Roll that one around for a while, would you? Your CO2 “contamination” of the atmosphere is, according to these “maroons” (to use Bugs Bunny’s label), causing volcanic eruptions!
Oh, they have long, convoluted, irrational “explanations” for their assertions, but it all boils down to an assertion of mankind’s power over geologic formations to such a degree as to make the mythic Greek gods envious.
*headdesk*
I dread to ask what more these cultists can do to discredit their religion.
i might point out that the ‘discussion’ moved from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change” quite a few years ago.
Also, have located self up near the top of some hills (‘mountains’ might be a misnomer, though they are called that here – relatively high places) and recently had the opportunity to take my motor vehicle (runs on autogas, as well as petrol, though use that sparingly) down near the “near city” environs. Noticed a blue haze in the car. Said to my companion “my car is on fire”. “Wot?” replied he, native of the area. I stepped out of car and the entire area was enveloped in a blue haze. Aha, think i, man made pollution.
The “Climate Change” wackos are the same morons with the same moronic arguments and lies, so they’re the same cult, Davo. Heck, in many cases these are the same kooks who were shouting, “The Ice Is Coming! The Ice Is Coming!” in the 1970s and, with Chicken Little*, “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” in earlier days.
And they only changed terms from “Global Warming!” to “Climate Change!” when their lies began to be exposed and they needed some retreading of their shopworn pseudo-factiods and models (that couldn’t post-dict historical conditions and have all turned out to be lousy prognosticators).
Morons, liars and scaremongers, one and all.
Apart from that, well, I’m sure their mothers loved them. For a while at least.
*and…
Oh, how I do dearly hope for an intervention by some modern day “Foxy Loxy”…
“in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king”.
Perhaps, Davo, but if the blind ever discover he can see at all, they’ll gang up on him and kill him.
“Maroons”…
I like Mr. Bunny’s other term for these cultists… imbessals.
And “ignoranimoose(s)”.
