More “Global Warming”

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.

Wallomped With the White Stuff

Last week’s snow (with a very little added over Sunday/Monday) was just getting to the safe driving stage–we finally got our street plowed and sanded, for example–when…

Another 10″ (last time I stopped measuring, while it was still coming down) added on top. Now, Son&Heir had left for work early this a.m. before the snow hit. By 10:00 a.m., when he got tyhe OK to leave early, it was up to his knees. Roads really bad all the way back until… 5 miles from home, his lil car just died.

Now, I couldn’t get out to9 go troubleshoot the thing, and towing services here in America’s Third World County are way, way behind in the number of vehicles they have to “service”. Oh, I got as far as halfway up the hill leading out of our neighborhood… on my second attempt, but backing down to try again, I got stuck and spent 30 minutes digging out. By that time, I got word that he was on his way home, courtesy of the Highway Patrol (finally, some good out of the organization). I was able to get halfway up the hill again so I could back down and get turned around, then struggle back on into our drive.

And all the while, the snow just kept coming.

*heh* Good thing, in a way, that I got stuck, though, because on my first “plowing” through the unbroken snow on our street, I’d stripped off the air dam on my lil Saturn. Though it had become almost completely buried in the new snowfall in the brief time between attempt #1 and attempt #2, enopugh was still visible for me to spot it and go dig it out, so I’ll be able to reattach it later. Much later. Come Spring, perhaps. *heh*

Snowmageddon 2011?

*heh*

Just when it was (relatively) safe to go outa the house: in the last 1-1.5 hours, nearly 2″ of powder over packed snow & ice on America’s Third World County streets and roads. Makes for more treacherous driving than if it were snow alone, of coure. OTOH, it is kinda fun to watch dumbasses trying to drive in the stuff (as long as one can stay out of their line of attack).

This S&G hook is pretty much the theme song for today’s “Third World County Snowmageddon Demolition Derby”.

Another “Authority” Weighs In on AGW

Add to the weight of opinion expressed by the Lemming Herd composed of Anthropogenic Climate Change Fanboiz calling themselves scientists, Vacuum-Headed Celebrities and politicians *spit* who are crying “The ski is falling! The sky is falling!” the views now expressed by…

Osama bin Laden.

Now, don’t take me wrong, but I actually have more respect for bin Laden’s point of view than for any from the other groups I cited above. That’s not to say I respect his views at all, only to indicate what sort of respect I give the views of the aforementioned groups of cretinous workers of iniquity.

More Hot Air from Algore?

Has Algore come on board yet with those idiots blaming the Icelandic eruption on Anthropogenic Global Warming Climate Change Whatever? If not, maybe it’s just because he’s blowing too much hot air of his own to pay attention to this latest “proof” of his epic myth.

Human Achievement Hour

Instead of the fatuous (and dangerous!*) “Earth Hour” last Saturday, A Place to Stand suggested Human Achievement Hour, quite similar to Woody’s protest.

The lights were on here at twc central, but I must confess I had no thought of protesting Earth Hour. Everything was running because

1. I never shut down my Big Hawg (computer)
2. Some of my Wonder Woman’s family had come by after the wedding and reception and we spent the time visiting about important things (like our firecracker lil niece who charmed everyone in sight and was continuing to do so as we visited), instead of observing some wacko “Earth Hour” balderdash.
