Global warming strikes again

This is a picture of what it looked like this morning in Alabaster, Alabama south of Birmingham. I stole the photo from a local weather website. Our back yard looked worse. I'd guess-timate we got about 5" of snow last night and it was still coming down this morning. If there is any left by nightfall, it won't be much. Still, it is nice to know Al Gore was right as usual about global warming.

One day last week hit 70 degrees, now this, and they're calling for mid to upper sixties by early next week. Usual Bama roller coaster winter weather. No wonder we all have chronic head colds here in the sunny South.
Now that there is a substantial body of evidence counter to the claims of AGW (anthropogenic global warming, ie it's man's fault) the politicians are making policy decisions on failed theories while the MSM continues to push the lies in support of ol Algore.
Oh, and while we're waiting for Absolved I'll recommend a near future novel that takes on politics, global warming, and other serious issues head on. The Last Centurion, by John Ringo, from Baen publishing. A good read and it shoots down many of the claims our pols are using today to justify taking over yet more control from we the people.; March 1, 2009 at 2:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Now Mike, you know you are mistating. It is no longer "global warming". It is now "climate change".

Weren't you paying attention when the assholes figured out that soon they would no longer be able to sell AlGore's fraud? All the reputable climatologists are disseminating data that proves we have been in a global cooling period for nearly two decades. And even should most folks not wish to grant them credibility, the "freeze the balls off a brass monkey" weather to come will still convince them.

Hence, the change from "global warming" to "climate change". I kid you not, listen to them, they never say GW anymore, it's always CC. You see, that way they get to claim a new crisis regarding "the inevitable Ice Age" and gain more control of the processes and actions of citizens and businesses. And perhaps we will see a new tax to reward the Al Gore's and other multi-mansion, jet-owning elite for the enormous size of their "carbon footprint" which will be touted as the only reason we haven't all frozen to death. Guess they would have to call them carbon debits then.

Stay tuned for information where to send your money or just call the toll free number 1-800- fyou.; March 1, 2009 at 4:29 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
