Is there any doubt about the crisis of global warming? We must stop driving, smoking, heating, traveling…breathing.

Anyone that believes in man made global warming is more medicated than a Lady Gaga groupie locked in a pharmacy overnight.

It would be easier to actually believe AGW was a crisis if those who continue to spout off about it from their bully pulpits actually acted like it. But you sure don’t see them opting for teleconferencing rather than flying, riding a bike rather than driving around in an armada of SUV’s or even moving into an efficient apartment rather than a massive mansion. The left seems to be made up entirely of hypocrites who are more interested in furthering their own agenda and enriching themselves off of the rubes rather than actually doing any good.

Al Gore then bought a beachfront estate near Santa Barbara, CA. It’s true; you can check it out. So much for the oceans rising……….

He says tongue in cheek, this is Gods way of punishing Chicago for electing Obama and then Rahm… well, maybe not entirely tongue in cheek!

Yes, I saw the Dennis Quaid movie too. Only I was able to realize that it was fiction

If any of you GLOBAL WARMING DENIERS can’t see for yourself –

THIS IS PROOF POSITIVE WE ARE DESTROYING MOTHER GAIA WITH GLOBAL WARMING

April 20, 2011 at 11:08 am

If You do not like the Unseasonbly Springtime Cold Weather in Chicago. You people please start Praying to the Good Lord he is in control of our Weather NOT Al Gore and the Good Lord is the only person You can count on stopping this Global Warming.

April 20, 2011 at 12:04 pm

Such facts as that don’t matter, the inconvient science is settled; if Algore don’t get global warming stopped soon we all gonna freeze to death. (But… didn’t Algore first say we would pass the tipping point about 2006-8? So, I suppose we are doomed, no matter what he does now.)

April 20, 2011 at 12:56 pm

I am not sure why anyone would want to live in Chicago. No JOBS, terrible weather, and one of the HIGHEST cost of living factors in the country. Even many of the big companies are starting to move out of here!

April 20, 2011 at 1:00 pm

I would love the dems to be in chicago and have a new ice age hit, freezing every stinking traitor worthless pig to instant death.

April 20, 2011 at 1:13 pm

To heck with the weather, how about Megan Glaros…..she could warm up the coldest of souls. Mercy.

April 20, 2011 at 2:48 pm

This is the most clear-cut case of global warming I’ve seen in a while.

If only you simpletons could understand how cold weather is obviously evidence of global warming.

April 20, 2011 at 9:11 pm

It’s the chill of the new CCCP, brought to you by none other than the biggest fraud in the world Borat Nyet NoBama!

April 20, 2011 at 9:21 pm

Its supposed to be 57 Sunday, 71 Monday, 80 Tuesday and 53 Wednesday for high temps in Chicago. We have a name for this weather phenomenon. Its call Spring. Welcome to the mid west.

April 20, 2011 at 10:07 pm

And how convenient that by time those DECADES roll by,,, most people alive now will be dead,,, and some moron trying to get some government funding will claim a glacier age is coming,,,,

JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE SEVENTIES!!! It was on EVERY MAGAZINE,,,, Popular Digest,,, Popular Science,,,, NewsWeek,,,,, THE COMING ICE AGE!!!!

April 20, 2011 at 10:19 pm

Anthropogenic global warming is a total fraud, an international effort of power and money grabbing based on the marxist concept of “wealth redistribution”.
On April 28 1975 Time magazine had on its front cover the title THE BIG FREEZE!!, with an article, signed by climate scientists, concluding that the Earth is cooling to the point it will all be covered in ice and all living creatures will die of freezing.
The “scientists” even came up with a solution: collect all the ashes and residues generated by coal-burning power plants and spreat it over the North Pole, to capture the heat generated by the sun….
This could only have come from sick, perverted minds, but at the time it was viewed as a real option.
After a few years, when it obviously turned out that such a theory was nonsense, the so called climate scientists, in their quest for government grants, have invented a new fantasy, that of global warming……the world is warming due to us, human beings and we are all going to die unless we give up all of our liberties to one big world government which is going to regulate every single aspect of our lives, how many times to flush our toilets, what kind of cars to drive, where, for what reason and how far, how many children to have , what kind of food to eat, etc.
In 1992 Al Gore said that “the time for a debate is over, the science is settled”…..
This obviously is a lie for the time for a debate is never over and the science is far from being settled.
Science does not work as a democracy , meaning that in science, the majority does not rule as it does in a democracy.
If 1000 scientists have a debate and 999 of them agree on the subject, but only one of them disagree, it may very well turn out , as it has so many times in history, that the lone scientist is the only one that is right.
After 20 years of advancing a false theory based on fraudulent data, the “scientists” noticed that the planet is not warming, so they changed the name of their theory yet again from global warming to “Climate Change”, just in case, to have all possibilities covered.
Soon the whole thing will be unequivocally exposed for a premeditated fraud.
People who perpetrated this scam, will then be held responsible for the enormous psychological, social and financial damage that their actions have caused.
There must be parents out there whose children have suffered mental trauma because of this great scam.
All these parents should get together and get a pit bull of a lawyer to file a class action law suit in a civil court and take the global warming crooks to the cleaners.

Global Warming is an example of how we have confused the meaning of information and knowledge. We have a lot of the former and very, very little of the latter. Our leaders and the media don’t know the difference and don’t make any effort to know the difference.

They just grab some information that supports their opinion, use some fancy words to dress it up and spew it about.

Of course there is global warming, otherwise the glaciers would still be in St. Louis and its not a big deal!

President Obama and environmentalists often say America should follow Europe’s lead on energy, climate and economic matters.
Recent events suggest that we should listen more attentively to the Europeans.
Two brutal winters have awakened Europe to the fact that global temperatures stopped rising in 1998 – and that frigid days and nights pose far graver dangers to the elderly and poor than warm weather and moderate global warming.
Germany and the Netherlands were gripped by near-record lows this past winter. People suffered frostbite and some froze to death in Poland and Russia.
Barely twelve months after its Meteorological Office said the 2009-10 winter was the coldest in three decades, Britain endured its coldest December-January since 1683. Because the United Kingdom’s ultra green energy policies have driven heating costs into the stratosphere, British pensioners rode buses or spent all day in libraries to stay warm, then shivered all night in their apartments. Tens of thousands risked hypothermia, trying to control costs by bundling up and turning the heat down or off. Many died.
In Wales, a third of all children live in low-income households, and a quarter of all households were in “fuel poverty” – forced to spend at least 10% of their income on heating. Many parents had to choose between keeping their children warm and providing them with nourishing meals, welfare workers said. Many Welsh children couldn’t sleep at night because of the cold, damaging their health and grades.
This isn’t proof that the world is entering a global cooling cycle. But the absence of sunspots is the most prolonged in a century, and scientists say the reduced solar activity is reminiscent of the Maunder Minimum, between 1645 and 1715, when the Northern Hemisphere suffered through the coldest weather, worst storms and shortest growing seasons of the Little Ice Age.
The frigid weather, freezing families, record budget deficits, soaring unemployment – and complete failure of global warming computer models to predict anything other than “a warmer than normal winter” – have caused a meltdown in Europe’s longstanding climate and energy policies.
In fact, many Europeans increasingly recognize that businesses, hospitals and especially poor families absolutely need reliable, affordable energy – which wind and solar cannot provide.
The British government is looking into cutting subsidies, feed-in tariffs and other incentives for solar projects, to prevent the boom-and-bust seen in Spain and predicted for the Czech Republic. Wind turbines, small hydroelectric plants and biomass projects are also on the block, as the government attempts to revive the UK economy, raise its competitiveness, radically reduce rising debt burdens, and chart a more economically and politically realistic course.
United Kingdom manufacturers say “green energy” policies and increased penalties for using fossil fuels are raising their costs to intolerable levels, especially for energy-intensive industries. Manufacturing is “reaching a tipping point,” they say, “where companies that are internationally mobile will say ‘enough is enough,’” and simply move to Asia. Millions of jobs are on the line.
The Netherlands is likewise reducing its renewable energy targets and slashing wind and solar subsidies. More shocking, even in the wake of Fukushima, the Dutch are talking of approving their first new nuclear power plant in 40 years, because they can no longer afford to pay exorbitant fees for minimal amounts of renewable electricity (that is well below theoretically “rated” or “capacity” output).
Poland is racing to develop shale gas, using hydraulic fracturing methods developed by American companies to unlock trillions of cubic feet of methane for its homes and factories. Exploratory drilling is also underway, or about to begin, in Britain, Germany and other countries, as engineers evaluate the extent and economics of developing their own vast shale gas deposits.
In Slovakia, the government stopped issuing solar licenses barely six months after launching its program. After unaffordable subsidies were sharply reduced, new solar installations in the Czech Republic fell 76% (from 2800 MW in 2009 to 400 MW in 2010); in Spain they plummeted 98% (from 2800 MW to 69 MW between 2008 and 2009). Private investments in these government-supported programs also cratered.
France and other countries are taking similar steps, while also expanding coal-based electricity, to replace nuclear. “Austerity-whacked Europe is rolling back subsidies for renewable energy, as economic sanity makes a tentative comeback,” London Globe and Mail columnist Eric Reguly observed. “Green energy is becoming unaffordable and may cost as many jobs as it creates.” Or worse.
A new report from Scotland found that renewable energy kills 3.7 traditional jobs for every “green” job it creates. Wind power mandates also cost British energy consumers an extra $1.8 billion in higher electricity costs in 2009-2010. Rebellion is in the air, and belief in dangerous manmade global warming has plummeted.
European Energy Commissioner Gunter Oettinger put it bluntly. “If we go alone to 30% [renewable energy],” he said, “you will have a faster process of de-industrialization in Europe. We need industry, and industry means CO2 emissions.” Tougher climate and renewable targets will force industries to move to Asia, he added, and steel will likely be one of the first casualties. Europe can no longer afford to “prop up” renewable energy industries.
However, despite these changes in the Europe he extols so often, President Obama says this is America’s “Sputnik moment.” He wants the United States to “invest” in “the Apollo projects of our time” – spending countless billions of additional taxpayer dollars to “stimulate” renewable energy, high-speed rail, climate change “prevention” and other projects. His April 13 budget speech reiterated this commitment.
This is precisely the kind of business-as-usual our nation can no longer afford: politicians and bureaucrats deciding which energy technologies, industries and companies win – and which ones lose – on the basis of politics, rather than science, economics or technology.
It is time to follow Europe’s lead. We may not be able to do anything about the weather or climate. But we can, and must, implement policies that ensure we have the technology and money to adapt to whatever climate and weather changes might come.
Developing America’s vast domestic oil, natural gas, coal and shale gas deposits will generate millions of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in critically needed royalty and tax revenue. We must ensure that our energy policies generate revenues and create jobs – instead of requiring constant taxpayer subsidies and destroying two to four traditional jobs for every “green” job that government “creates.”
We need to do that, and can do it without hurting the environmental values we all cherish.
Any policies that shackle our ability to follow this new Europe-advised course will severely harm our nation’s future – and shackle blue-collar jobs, poor families and minority opportunities worst of all.
Finally, here’s onethat even Algore and the environwackos can’t answer. The fastest growth in CO2 emissions occurred in the 30 years after WWII. And global temperatureswent down. Huh?

First off, don’t confuse an attempt at comedy with ignorance of the subject. From what I have seen, the people that were convinced of golbal warming (read climate change) stopped paying attention a long time ago, because they are convinced that the time for debate is over. Anybody that has been paying attention will notice that the facts seem to get twisted around to fit whoever is reporting. For example: last winter there were record cold temperatures during the winter in nearly every major city in the northern hemisphere. But to read the reports the claim is that 2010 was the 5th warmest year on record. Also note that the predictions keep changing, and the worst predictions are said to toke place so far in the future that nobody alive today will be there to dispute it when the time comes (kinda like what the Catholic church does with saints, they have to be dead for over 75 years with few exceptions.)

April 21, 2011 at 12:14 am

Anyone who is so self centered to believe that humans can effect weather patterns ought to have their heads examined. If we were going to have rising levels of ocean water due to meling ice caps, why did Al Gore take all of your money to buy an ocean front Mansion in Santa Barbara????

April 21, 2011 at 4:25 am

The EPA is falling down on the job again. Dangerous CO2 is behind this cooling trend. ooops, I meant to say global warming. Ummm, can I retract that other sentence? No? Drat. Well I guess it really doesn’t matter, America is too stupid to notice.

April 21, 2011 at 6:20 am

It’s all part of the Mayan 2012 prophecies. After December 21st next year it just won’t matter!
