Alright, as of yet I haven’t heard anyone trying to link Hurricane Gustav or Tropical Storm Hanna with Anthropological Global Warming, but I fear this won’t be the case once they hit. Therefore, I have two questions: Which network will mention a link between these storms and Global Warming first and how long will it take for them to mention it?
So this article comes up in my Google RSS feed for “Global Warming” titled “Nine polar bears at risk of drowning in global warming meltdown” and included this picture:
You know what my first reaction to this picture was? That poor polar bear is going to drown. Why is it going to drown? Because the helicopter that was carrying the photographer is causing such a disturbance in the water the poor bear is going to barely be able to swim. See the waves around the polar bear and how its squinting? Yea, that’s caused by a helicopter that is in hover. Compare it with this picture (upper left corner)
It’s not global warming that’s going to kill this bear, it’s the media.
Oh, wait, don’t cry. Please don’t cry, media. You really shouldn’t worry to much about that because the good news is the polar bear population on a whole has doubled in the past four decades.
See? One polar bear, and even nine polar bears, are nothing really to worry about. Just consider this an example of Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ theory.
This was very disheartening news to hear. It seems that the GOP is considering adding a ‘global warming is real’ section to our party’s platform.
The National Republican Party for the first time is expected to acknowledge global warming in its 2008 GOP Platform, according to a draft of the document.
“Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the earth,” the document said. “While the scope and long term consequences of this warming effect are the subject of ongoing research, we believe the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today.”
Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, is a strong proponent of tackling global warming and has co-authored legislation to address the issue.
In the GOP’s 2004 platform, the term “global warming” was completely absent.
Luckily, the party platform will have to be voted on at the RNC but even if this section doesn’t pass, McCain will still be the ‘maverick’ he is and push some crazy ‘cap and trade’ scheme on his own. Luckily, we conservatives have Palin to hinge all our hopes of sanity prevailing in the White House. All I can say is that I sure hope she will be up for the task.
On a side note, the author of the article I quote above is none other than Jackie Kucinich, the daughter of Dennis Kucinich. Now I don’t know if she is as far out there (aka crazy) as her father but if she is, we might be able to right this storyoff as some wishful thinking.
Australia’s Gold Coast is experiencing some chilly weather this year that is breaking some records.
THE Gold Coast yesterday had its coldest August temperature on record.
The Seaway dropped to an icy 4.2C at 6.30am and there were reports of ice on cars in Nerang.
The previous record minimum was 4.3C on August 1, 2003.
(…)
And there is no sign of warmer weather any time soon.
Mr Mitchell said the wicked winter cold spell was set to continue well into next week.
“We will have very cold nights and early mornings,” he said.
One thing to remember is that the southern hemisphere and thus Australia is experiencing their winter right now so cold weather is to be expected.
This is funny. Al Gore’s newest boat, “Bio-Solar One,” supposedly will run on biofuels such as ethanol (which, as you know from some of my past articles, isn’t that environmentally friendly in its current state). The funny thing about this is the lake its located on only has regular GASOLINE. Ironic? I think so.

Well another day, another alarmist claim. This time alarmists are claiming that Global Warming will disproportionately affect African Americans. Take a look.
In this episode of Penn and Teller’s show Bullsh*t, they take on the whole alarmist environmental movement. It’s a great episode that points out the mob mentality of many “environmentalists.” Plus, as an added bonus, you get interviews with environmental figures like Bjorn Lomborg and Patrick Moore denouncing the alarmists. Overall, this episode is very entertaining and well worth the watch.
Little Green Footballs has the video here if you want to watch it. Keep in mind that it’s 30 minutes long and does have some foul language.
Bjorn Lomborg, author of “Cool It” and “The Skeptical Environmentalist”, will be attending the American Legislative Exchange Council’s National Forum in Chicago. If you have the credentials to get in, I would go and hear him speak.

The BBC has come out with a new two part drama that looks at the evils of mankind…excuse me, I meant the evils of global warming. The show is called Burn Up and will be airing in the UK and Canada but if it is a success I’m sure it will be making its way here to the US. Mike McNally at Pajamas Media has a review about the show that you should read.
It seems like the wet and brutal weather that New England has recently experienced can’t be linked to global warming. Shame, I guess the alarmists will just have to stick with blaming stuff like kidney stones on AGW.
