Global Cooling Trend Continues-CO2 Levels Unchanged

Even without CAP AND TRADE planet earth seems to be on a cooling trend. Since 1998 the temperatures on planet earth have been cooling. Even the ECO Terrorists had to change their terminology from GLOBAL warming to climate change. Now then I ask any thinking person to pause for just a moment and ask this one simple question. If the planet has been cooling for the last 10 years while carbon dioxide emissions have not been reduced by any significant amount, is it therefore reasonable to conclude that CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with GLOBAL WARMING? In fact the biggest contributing factor to global warming is, you guessed it, THE SUN!

Due to the unusually cool and wet conditions in June…here are some interesting facts to note:

This June is tied for the 8th coolest on record. The average temperature was 67.5. (That’s) 3.7 degrees below normal…which also occurred in 1897.

This was the coolest June since 1958…when the average temperature as 67.2 degrees.

Below average temperatures occurred on 23 out of 30 days this June…or 75 percent of the month

Central Park has not hit 90 degrees in the month of June this year. The last time this occurred was back in 1996.

Central Park has not hit 85 degrees in the month of June this year. The last time this occurred was back in 1916. This has only occurred two other times…1903 and 1886.

The low temperature dipped below 60 degrees eleven times in the month of June. The last time this occurred was in 2003 when it occurred seventeen times.

It was the second wettest June on record with 10.06 inches of rain. The wettest June on record is 2003 with 10.27 inches.

Paint the Town White For the Environment

The DODO bird is back, the once thought extinct bird showed up at the climate change symposium in London.

LONDON(AFP) (AFP) –
US Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday the Obama administration wanted to paint roofs an energy-reflecting white, as he took part in a climate change symposium in London.

The Nobel laureate in physics called for a “new revolution” in energy generation to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

But he warned there was no silver bullet for tackling climate change, and said a range of measures should be introduced, including painting flat roofs white.

Making roads and roofs a paler colour could have the equivalent effect
of taking every car in the world off the road for 11 years, Chu said.

It was a geo-engineering scheme that was “completely benign” and would
keep buildings cooler and reduce energy use from air conditioning, as
well as reflecting sunlight back away from the Earth.

For people who found white hard on the eye, scientists had also
developed “cool colours” which looked to the human eye like normal
ones, but reflect heat like pale colours even if they are darker shades.

And painting cars in cool or light colours could deliver considerable savings on energy use for air conditioning units, he said.

Speaking at the start of a symposium on climate change hosted by the Prince of Wales and attended by more than 20 Nobel laureates, Chu said fresh thinking was required to cut the amount of carbon created by power generation.

College educated, Chu believes that if we just paint all our cars and house roofs white we could effectively reduce climate change the equivalent of taking every car in the world off the road for 11 yrs. I think he should get his money back from the college he went to. Apparently he did not learn any “real knowledge” at that University. Yup sounds like one flew over the cuckoo’s nest on that one. Can I hear anyone say LOONIE TUNES? Cuckoo cuckoo. Me thinks this guy is too smart by half. Not a very good advertisement for University either. What say you?

We Debate You Decide: Does CO2 Cause Global Warming?

Does CO2 Cause Global Warming? We Debate You Decide

You decide whom you believe. Al Gore or several climatologists. You decide if a naturally occuring gas that we exhale and plants inhale for growth could actually cause Global warming. And if the earth does warm is that really a problem? I mean what is the alternative? Another ICE AGE? How is that going to save energy or promote PLANT growth on the planet? It would appear to me that common sense dictates that God would not create a GAS CO2 which is needed to sustain life would actually be detrimental to that life. I do believe man can cause global warming but not from CO2 but from S I N.

In the end it will not be man causing global warming but God. Check this out:

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the [ material] elements [of the universe] will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10 (AMP)

Yes folks we do have a car salesman in the white house. And yes folks he does believe that increasing the cost of doing business actually increases business. And yes folks he believes in spending more money then you have and getting less for it is also good for America. And yes folks he does believe that raising taxes will actually stimulate the economy.

Would you like tires for your car? You do know they are an added extra, that will cost you another $3000 because of the environmental impact tax to pay for their later disposal. Do we have a deal?
