Global Warming is alive and well (despite the cold)

Published by Karl under Global Warming

Been a while since my last Global warming update, so here we go:

Western Greenland Ice Growing; Still Global Warming

The lynchpin in the anthropogenic global warming theory is the shrinking Arctic ice, but now that some of that ice is actually increasing, scientists claim, without a trace of irony, it is normal for temperatures and ice sheets to fluctuate.

Greenland’s Sermitsiak reported, “The ice between Canada and southwestern Greenland has reached its highest level in 15 years.” Denmark’s Meteorological Institute used satellite images to track the southward expansion of the ice and when the paper asked how these findings “fit in with” continual reports of Arctic ice “melting at a record rate due to increasing temperatures,” global warming was, of course, affirmed….:

If it’s up to meteorologists from Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, there is not anything inherently contradictory that extreme cold is replaced by higher temperatures than average. Or that melting sea ice occasionally is replaced by expanding ice sheets.

‘Weather is a phenomenon which changes from year to year and right now the atmosphere has changed so we have cold weather. That will certainly mean that melting ice in the North Pole will be less this year, but next year the situation can look completely different,’ according to [no first name given] Henriksen.

To sum things up, global warming hasn’t been called off. In  the meanwhile, western Greenlander’s will have to accept that the cold weather continues for some time. At least until next Tuesday when milder weather could be on the way, according to Polarfronten online.

Well, isn’t that what some  “skeptics” have been saying about the recent temperature spikes? That climate changes over time, and it has been warming since the Little Ice Age?

Pretty much, yes.

But that will not stop California from driving the myth as required curriculum.

Global Warming to be Taught in Public Schools?

Be afraid,  America!! Be very afraid!

Phony Racism in Canada: It’s not just for the USA anymore

Published by Karl under hypocrites, racism

A friend sent me this interesting blog by Jonathon Kay concerning phony racism and the industry it has spawned.  In their zeal to combat racism, some activists can’t wait for the real deal, they make it up themselves.

(Interestingly the blog has been removed from the source site, so I am posting the whole blog, not excerpts.  I verified the content by viewing the cache of a few sites and finding it posted on other blogs. )

Original sourceReposted source.

What I find interesting is that this mirrors the observations I made a few months ago here:  Seattle Schools, where diversity = Blame whites for everything (and make some money)

Apparently, the disease is spreading to Canada.  Emphasis mine.

Jonathan Kay on Richard Warman and Canada’s phony-racism industry

Posted: February 18, 2008, 1:14 PM by Jonathan Kay

Canadians now know the precise moment when radical anti-racism became a more powerful sociological toxin than racism itself: 7:55pm EST on Sept. 5, 2003.

That is the date-stamp on a particularly vile posting, left by an anonymous user on the message board of the right-wing web site freedomsite.org, attacking Canada’s first black senator. It read as follows: “Not only is Canadian Senator Anne Cools is a Negro, she is also an immigrant! And she is also one helluva preachy c*nt. She does NOT belong in my Canada. My Anglo-Germanic people were here before there was a Canada and her kind have jumped in, polluted our race, and forced their bullshit down our throats. Time to go back to when the women *** imports knew their place … And that place was NOT in public!”

Horrible, shocking stuff. But even more shocking is the identity of the fellow whose electronic fingerprints were all over the message: famed Canadian human-rights lawyer Richard Warman.
