Global Temperatures Fall Like a Stone, What Says Al Gore?

Posted on February 28, 2008

Short answer? NOTHING!

It seems over the past year, global temperatures have fallen .037 degrees Fahrenheit the lowest point since 1993 (according to the graph).

From Daily Tech:

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile — the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time. For all four sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

If all this is true, then why do we have to give up our incandescent light bulbs?

Seriously though, we’ve been hearing nothing but crying out of High Priest Al Gore and his minions of the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots fueled by the ignorance of the typical Politically Apathetic American Lemming sitting in his easy chair listening to Katie Couric on the CBS evening news tell her viewers that man is solely responsible for the warming of the earth as they throw snow balls in Baghdad for the first time in recorded history. I mean can we finally put this nonsense of anthropological ~~global warming~~, oops, “climate change” to freaking bed? Oh no, they’re making it mandatory subject matter in schools now. A bit behind the curve aren’t they?

Speaking of which, I love how since its now getting cooler that it has magically switched from global warming to climate change. I guess that ice age that they warned us about in 1974 is finally coming about.

AL GORE is a habitual liar and his two undeserved awards should be taken away and those judges should be fired, I mean the greens are lyeing through their big fat teeth over this global warming fraud.

UPDATE AND CAVEAT:

“The website DailyTech has an article citing this blog entry as a reference, and their story got picked up by the Drudge report, resulting in a wide distribution. In the DailyTech article there is a paragraph:

?Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C ? a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it?s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.?

I wish to state for the record, that this statement is not mine: ??a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years?

There has been no ?erasure?. This is an anomaly with a large magnitude, and it coincides with other anecdotal weather evidence. It is curious, it is unusual, it is large, it is unexpected, but it does not ?erase? anything. I suggested a correction to DailyTech and they have graciously complied.”

The above text is from the website Watts Up With That where this info was published it was then picked up by Daily Tech and the by Gribbit. Daily Tech misrepresented the data to fit it’s own needs and as you can see was supposed to print a correction. Gribbit has made no such effort and in fact when I pointed this out on Gribbit’s Word I found my self banned from his site. This is not the way accurate info is spread Gribbit.

As for the climate change debate itself, wether you believe it or not there are valid reasons for getting off fossil fuels and giving up those incandescent light bulbs. If you want coal mining to continue to tear up mountain tops and pollute streams and lakes then go ahead destroy the habitat where the rest of us hunt, fish and find peace from the messed up world we live in. If you want to keep oil fired power plants and home heating oil furnaces running and burning all that Mid-East oil that pays to set up the Islamic Wahabist schools that I hear the fear mongering far right complaining about then go ahead send you money to the Saudis. Why not just cut them a check directly. If you want to see Alaska destroyed by oil companies who cut every corner in maintenance (BP) to make a few more dollars go ahead. Now before you freak out and say “Hey this guy’s just another hippy tree hugger” this is not the case first of all I have job so I can’t be a hippy, second I have watched wind tower plans be opposed by enviro”mental”ists in my home state and have fought to keep the projects moving forward. Finally there is a finite amount of oil in the earth and one day it will be gone, what are we going to do then? Better to solve that problem now.
