Everyone need a good laugh now and then.
Laughingstock Al Gore dumbfounded as he tries to explain record-breaking cold around the U.S.
Can you detect the pattern?
• Flint Michigan set a record low Wednesday hitting 19 degrees below zero.
• The windchill in Massena, NY hit 33 below zero.
• Maine residents braced for nighttime readings down to 40 below zero.
• In Tallahasee, Florida, temperatures will hit the mid-20's, the lowest since 1977.
• Sioux City, S.D. hit a record low of 20 below zero.
• Chicago saw a record ninth consecutive day of snowfall with a high of three below.
• In Jackson County, Alabama, lows will hit a record low tonight of zero.
• Columbia, Missouri will see the coldest temperaturs in 23 years.
• Evansville, Indiana saw record cold with temperatures starting in the single digits.
• In Iowa, residents were warned that temperatures could drop as far as 27 below zero, matching the record set in 1972.
• Mt. Washington, New Hampshire air temperatures will hit 35 below with windchills reaching 75 to 80 below. That's a little shy of the record, set in 2004.
• Much of Wisconsin is experiencing near record cold, with 40 below windchills anticipated.
• And Europe is experiencing "the worst cold snap in decades."
• And in Pollock, S.D., the temperature has dropped to a record-setting 47 below zero. A gas station worker said it actually "hurts to breathe."
Laughingstock Al Gore, whose carbon trading bunko scam continues to unravel, was also having trouble breathing:
Quote
Gore’s church losing followers -- In 1971, perhaps entertaining thoughts of entering the full-time ministry, Al Gore, raised in and baptized into the Southern Baptist Church, entered the Vanderbilt Divinity School.
His sojourn was relatively brief. In three semesters, he enrolled in eight classes. He received an “F” as his grade in five of those classes. So, having failed out of school, he entered the family business, which was politics. But he apparently never lost his desire to enter a ministry, and since he couldn’t make the grade in the conventional sense, he did the next best thing. He started his own religion.
The result was the Church of Global Warming. With Gore as its high priest, the church was not long in establishing tenets of faith, nor in immediately branding those who refused to worship there as apostate.
[However] Sunspot activity, it appears, is on the wane, and the result has been a gradual cooling of Earth’s climate. Indeed, 2008 may be the first “coldest year” of the 21st century...

WOW! I'm amazed! Everyone but Al Gore is finally figuring out:
1 - Increased solar activity in the sun results in warming.
2 - Decreased solar activity in the sun results in cooling.
Al Gore had nothing to do with this earth-shattering discovery that's really nothing more than COMMON SENSE.
FOR AL: THERE IS ALSO MORE LIGHT WHEN THE SUN COMES UP AND LESS LIGHT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN!
Al, it wouldn't be wise for you to spend all that money you made in this CRIMINAL CON GAME. You might be able to use the money in bargaining a LOWER PRISON SENTENCE!

Snow covers UAE mountain, first time in history
For the first time in the desert country's history, snow blanketed the peak of Jais Mountain in the northern United Arab Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah Sunday.
So rare was the event that one lifelong resident said the local dialect had no word for it.
Sunday's snowfall was only the second time in recorded history that it has snowed in the emirate, with temperatures dropping two degrees below zero as 20 cm (eight inches) of snow accumulated in some places.
“The sight up there this morning was totally unbelievable, with the snow-capped mountain and the entire area covered with fresh, dazzling white snow,” said a helicopter pilot who flew over the area. “It is still freezing cold up there and there are chances that it might snow again tonight.”
Limited snowfall has been recorded on the mountain in 2004, but for the first time in its history the mountain's peak was fully covered, the WAM news agency reported.

Icy Reception for Al Gore
Al Gore is scheduled to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tomorrow morning about the 'urgent need' to combat global warming.
The nation’s capitol is under a winter storm watch with the possibility of significant accumulations of snow, sleet, or ice.
Global warming advocates have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change.
Cold is hot and snow is - what? - white Hawaiian sand?
How long before we begin to understand that we're being lied to?
The “Gore Effect” has a long and storied history. What follows is a sampling of how God enjoys putting global warming fear promoters in their place.
1) First October snow since 1922 blankets London as global warming bill debated – October 2008
2) Global Warming Vote on Snowy Day in Washington - Senate committee debates expensive climate change bill snow blanket D.C. – December 2007
3) House hearing on ‘warming of the planet' canceled after snow/ice storm – February 2007
4) Not again! DC 'Snow Advisory' Issued on Day of Congressional Global Warming Hearing – March 2007
5) Gore decries 'global warming' in bitterly cold NYC – December 2006
6) Gore delivers environmental message at Harvard - ...with near 125-year record breaking low temps – October 2008
7) Global warming activists urged to focus on Earth Day rallies and ignore snow as it 'piles up outside our windows' – April 17, 2007
No Joke! Cyclists 'braved freezing cold temps' to promote global warming awareness in New York - October 22, 2008
9) Global warming protest in Maryland frosted with snow – January 2008
10) Global warming rally in the snow – April 2007
11) Snow won't dampen global-warming rallies – April 2007
12) Brrr. - Obama to global warming demonstrators: 'This is probably not the weather to hold up those signs...it's a little chilly today' - October 28, 2008
13) Global Warming Awareness Walk Braves Snow Storm – March 2007
14) The Gore Effect, Cont. - Gore speaks in Italy during 'rare' cold and snow
15) Tracking 'The Gore Effect’ – Politico November 26,6, 2008
16) Climate protest cancelled 'due to rain and cold' – Nov. 23, 2008

Global warming supposedly killing trees
Excerpts - “Trees in the western United States and Canada are dying twice as quickly as they did just 30 years ago, with rising average temperatures almost certainly to blame,” said an article today by Maggie Fox.
“These thinner and weaker forests will become more vulnerable to wildfires and may soak up less carbon dioxide, in turn speeding up global warming, they (researchers) said.
“Warmer temperatures may be encouraging pine beetles and other organisms that attack trees, the researchers said. That, along with the stress of prolonged droughts, may be accelerating death rates.
“Thomas Veblen of the University of Colorado said new regulations may be needed to help the forests survive.
"We may only be talking about an annual tree mortality rate changing from 1 percent a year to 2 percent a year, an extra tree here and there," said Mark Harmon, a professor of forest ecology at Oregon State University.”
Did you catch that? They want to saddle us with more regulations in
order to save “an extra tree here and there” from a threat that may -
or may not - exist.
And did you catch all of the qualifying words?
- rising average temperatures almost certainly to blame
- may soak up less carbon dioxide
- may be encouraging pine beetles
- new regulations may be needed
- may only be talking about an annual
tree mortality rate changing
What about the fact that the Cascades have endured record
snowpacks – twice - during the past ten years? There’s no
“maybe” there. Record snowpack twice. In ten years.
What about the fact that as we’ve headed into previous ice
ages, the warm-weather tree line moved south?
I think today’s dying trees could just as easily be blamed on the
record snows.

NASA official: 'Coal greatest threat to all life'
Climate-change guru blasts alarms of fuel-burning 'death factories'
"Coal is the single greatest threat to civilization and all life on the planet," charges James Hansen, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, whose dire climate-change predictions have reached the apocalyptic stage.
In an op-ed piece penned for the London Guardian, Hansen said he is asking world leaders to place moratoria on new coal-fired power plants to fight global warming and pollution.
"The climate is nearing tipping points," he writes. "Changes are beginning to appear and there is a potential for explosive changes, effects that would be irreversible, if we do not rapidly slow fossil-fuel emissions over the next few decades. As Arctic sea ice melts, the darker ocean absorbs more sunlight and speeds melting. As the tundra melts, methane, a strong greenhouse gas, is released, causing more warming. As species are exterminated by shifting climate zones, ecosystems can collapse, destroying more species."
He implied there is no longer any time to debate climate change in public, because the public cannot be expected to analyze the data.
"The public, buffeted by weather fluctuations and economic turmoil, has little time to analyze decadal changes," he wrote. "How can people be expected to evaluate and filter out advice emanating from those pushing special interests? How can people distinguish between top-notch science and pseudo-science?"
Leaders, Hansen explained, have at their disposal the best scientific organizations in the world to help formulate the policies needed.
"Our planet is in peril," he wrote. "If we do not change course, we'll hand our children a situation that is out of their control. One ecological collapse will lead to another, in amplifying feedbacks."
He predicted massive flooding of half the world's great cities if no action is taken. He also forecasts the extermination of species if global warming is unchecked.
But it gets worse. Hansen said failure to take action now will result in the planet's destruction.
"Clearly, if we burn all fossil fuels, we will destroy the planet we know," he charged. "Carbon dioxide would increase to 500 ppm or more. We would set the planet on a course to the ice-free state, with sea level 75 meters higher. Climatic disasters would occur continually. The tragedy of the situation, if we do not wake up in time, is that the changes that must be made to stabilize the atmosphere and climate make sense for other reasons. They would produce a healthier atmosphere, improved agricultural productivity, clean water and an ocean providing fish that are safe to eat."
But it is coal for which Hansen held out special contempt.
"The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains," he wrote. "Coal-fired power plants are factories of death."
Hansen is identified at the end of the piece as the "first scientist to warn the U.S. Congress of the dangers of climate change."

That's another one of those let's hurry up and get things done before the public finds out the truth because the public doesn't know what's best for them.
Coal is far from being the most dangerous threat to civilization. The biggest threat to civilization that is on this earth are the environmentalists and politicians that have jumped on their bandwagon.

Hello Pastor Roger,
You've already got it.
There are tons of power and money on the line, and that's why scoundrels are going to do everything in their power to sell the global warming lies. Besides, it fits in perfectly with the ushering in of the Tribulation Period and all kinds of globalization BALONEY. Many have already been deceived - SO THEY HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT INTO THE LIES.
If their LIES are exposed, the U.N. (United Nuts) WOULD LOSE BIG FACE! Lots of other BIG MONEY AND BIG POWER would also LOSE BIG FACE! There is so much money and power involved that it wouldn't surprise me if laws were enacted to prevent exposing it. Proof has already been given that global warming is GARBAGE, but those folks don't run or plan to run the world.
AFTER ALL, THERE MUST BE A COMING GLOBAL METHOD OF CONTROL, GOVERNMENT, TAXATION, ETC. It will be extremely DUMB, but we are seeing all kinds of DUMB things happening every day now.
THE MESS WE'RE IN IS NO ACCIDENT OR COINCIDENCE!
We are seeing the beginning of CHAOS, and GOD'S WORD tells us it will get MUCH WORSE!

The Hummers of food in global warming, are Hamburgers!!
Feb 16 2009
When it comes to global warming, hamburgers are the Hummers of food, scientists say.
Simply switching from steak to salad could cut as much carbon as leaving the car at home a couple days a week.
That's because beef is such an incredibly inefficient food to produce and cows release so much harmful methane into the atmosphere, said Nathan Pelletier of Dalhousie University in Canada.
Pelletier is one of a growing number of scientists studying the environmental costs of food from field to plate.
By looking at everything from how much grain a cow eats before it is ready for slaughter to the emissions released by manure, they are getting a clearer idea of the true costs of food.
The livestock sector is estimated to account for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and beef is the biggest culprit.
Even though beef only accounts for 30 percent of meat consumption in the developed world it's responsible for 78 percent of the emissions, Pelletier said Sunday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
That's because a single kilogram of beef produces 16 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalent emissions: four times higher than pork and more than ten times as much as a kilogram of poultry, Pelletier said.
If people were to simply switch from beef to chicken, emissions would be cut by 70 percent, Pelletier said.
Another part of the problem is people are eating far more meat than they need to.
"Meat once was a luxury in our diet," Pelletier said. "We used to eat it once a week. Now we eat it every day."
If meat consumption in the developed world was cut from the current level of about 90 kilograms a year to the recommended level of 53 kilograms a year, livestock related emissions would fall by 44 percent.
"Given the projected doubling of (global) meat production by 2050, we're going to have to cut our emissions by half just to maintain current levels," Pelletier said.
"Technical improvements are not going to get us there."
That's why changing the kinds of food people eat is so important, said Chris Weber, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
Food is the third largest contributor to the average US household's carbon footprint after driving and utilities, and in Europe - where people drive less and have smaller homes - it has an even greater impact.
"Food is of particular importance to a consumer's impact because it's a daily choice that is, at least in theory, easy to change," Weber said.
"You make your choice every day about what to eat, but once you have a house and a car you're locked into that for a while."
The average US household contributes about five tons of carbon dioxide a year by driving and about 3.5 tons of equivalent emissions with what they eat, he said.
"Switching to no red meat and no dairy products is the equivalent of (cutting out) 8,100 miles driven in a car ... that gets 25 miles to the gallon," Weber said in an interview following the symposium.
Buying local meat and produce will not have nearly the same effect, he cautioned.
That's because only five percent of the emissions related to food come from transporting food to market.
"You can have a much bigger impact by shifting just one day a week from meat and dairy to anything else than going local every day of the year," Weber said.

UM? What are they going to do about natural things like volcanoes? I'd also like to know if anyone has studied gas emissions from whales, mankind, etc.
Ooooooophs! Did someone forget that plants all require greenhouse gases to grow and make oxygen? Did someone open an insane asylum, or has Al Gore driven a lot of people crazy?

10,000 people cut off from outside world
It is snowing not only in Bulgaria, but also in other countries in the region.
In Serbia, more than 30 villages are blocked. There are communities where power has been cut off. The situation is very serious in Central, Western and Southern Serbia. The snow has caused 289 road accidents over the last 24 hours. Two people died and 44 were injured.
The snow is 3 meters (10 feet) deep in some regions in Albania. At least five municipalities and some 10,000 people are blocked.
In Macedonia, the snow in the municipality of Gostivar is one meter (3 feet) deep, and traffic is hampered in the municipalities of Kumanovo and Kicevo.
In Dubrovnik, Croatia, snow forced closure of the region’s airport.
In northern Greece, the Civil Protection Service warns that snowfall will become heavier.
It is snowing not only in Bulgaria, but also in other countries in the region. The Balkans expect low temperatures, frosty streets and bad weather over the next days as well.
The snow caused hundreds of road accidents in Serbia. Over the last 24 hours 289 road accidents have been registered. 2 people died and 44 were injured. The regional highways and roads are covered with a thin layer of snow, under which there is frosty sections. More than 30 villages are blocked. There are communities where power has been cut off. The situation is very serious in Central, Western and Southern Serbia.
The snow is 3 meters deep in some regions in Albania. At least five municipalities and some 10,000 people are blocked. Morina- Kukes highway is closed. There might be stranded cars.
The heavy snowfall hampers the traffic along the roads in Macedonia. For now railway and air transport do not encounter problems.
The Regional Crisis Management Department announced the snow in the municipality of Gostivar is one meter deep. Trucks are allowed to travel through the Pass of Strazha, between Gostivar and Kicevo, and along Mavrovo-Debar road. The traffic is hampered in the municipalities of Kumanovo and Kicevo. Sections of the regional roads to Makedonska Kamenica and Bitola are frosty.
The international trains between Belgrade and Thessaloniki are moving a bit behind the schedule.
A snow storm struck Dubrovnik, Croatia. The airport in the region is closed.
The Civil Protection Service in Greece warns that snowfall in Northern Greece will become heavier. Storms will lash Western Europe and the islands in northern and eastern Aegean Sea, as well as Dodecanese islands.
“Heavy snowfall has blocked a key trans-European highway in Serbia, leaving hundreds of motorists trapped.
“Swept by strong crosswinds, the unrelenting snowfall left motorists stranded for up to 12 hours in both directions on the E75 highway near the southern Serbian city of Nis, reports said.
“The E75 links Western Europe with Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia and Turkey.
“Hundreds of towns in Bulgaria's north were left without electricity as power lines across the Balkan mountain range were brought down, while an avalanche closed the key mountain pass of Petrohan.
“In Serbia, a number of regional roads including the main one to Macedonia had also been blocked as snow had been falling non-stop for more than 48 hours in some parts of Serbia's southeast.
“An elderly couple froze to death in their house in a village near Pozarevac, about 70km southeast of Belgrade, while another man was found dead on the outskirts of the capital.”

God does indeed have a sense of humor and I do believe that He is using it to get a message across.
A massive snow storm hits during a mass civil disobedience at the coal fired power plant in Washington, DC
It seems like the Climate Crew has had some trouble getting their messages across. It’s almost as if mixed signals are coordinated by nature itself. Marc Marano, Communications Director for the GOP on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) sent out a list of events that seem to follow the Gore Effect. This was labeled by Politico.com as:
The so-called Gore Effect happens when a global warming-related event, or appearance by the former vice president and climate change crusader, Al Gore, is marked by exceedingly cold weather or unseasonably winter weather.
Check out this list courtesy of Marc Marano:
Note: The “Gore Effect” has a long and storied history. What follows is a sampling of how Mother Nature enjoys mocking global warming fear promoters.
1) First October snow since 1922 blankets London as global warming bill debated – October 2008
2) Global Warming Vote on Snowy Day in Washington - Senate committee debates expensive climate change bill snow blanket D.C. – December 2007
3) HOUSE HEARING ON ‘WARMING OF THE PLANET’ CANCELED AFTER SNOW/ICE STORM – February 2007
4) NOT AGAIN! DC ‘Snow Advisory’ Issued on Day of Congressional Global Warming Hearing – March 2007
5) Gore decries ‘global warming’ in bitterly cold NYC – December 2006
6) Gore delivers environmental message at Harvard - …with near 125-year record breaking low temps – October 2008
7) Global warming activists urged to focus on Earth Day rallies and ignore snow as it ‘piles up outside our windows’ – April 17, 2007
8) No Joke! Cyclists ‘braved freezing cold temps’ to promote global warming awareness in New York - October 22, 2008
9) Global warming protest in Maryland frosted with snow – January 2008
10) Global warming rally in the snow – April 2007
11) Snow won’t dampen global-warming rallies – April 2007
12) Brrr. - Obama to global warming demonstrators: ‘This is probably not the weather to hold up those signs…it’s a little chilly today’ - October 28, 2008
13) Global Warming Awareness Walk Braves Snow Storm – March 2007
14) The Gore Effect, Cont. - Gore speaks in Italy during ‘rare’ cold and snow
15) Tracking ‘The Gore Effect’ – Politico November 26,6, 2008

God does indeed have a sense of humor and I do believe that He is using it to get a message across.

THE FACTS ARE IN -- GORE LIED FOR MONEY!
Now, here's the bad news: this lie is going to effect nearly everyone in the entire world if they get their way. GORE'S "CAP AND TRADE" con game was hidden in the SO-CALLED STIMULUS package and has now been signed into law. You don't care? You will when your electric and heating bills start changing radically. THAT'S RIGHT - THEY SLIPPED A BIG ONE THROUGH! This will be a huge increase for many people who simply can't pay the bill. You certainly won't be able to pay for it with that GIANT tax cut you got of $13 a week!
DID ANYONE MENTION GASOLINE PRICES GOING UP OVER A DOLLAR A GALLON? Does anyone know how many other things are about to go up drastically THAT EVERYONE WILL BE PAYING - NOT JUST THE RICH PEOPLE? By the way, what happens if the rich people decide they won't put up with this and leave? Their OVERALL TAXES aren't going up about 10% -
TRY 30 TO 40%!
If the rich folks don't pay the extra bills, who will? By the way, a tax rate of 100% on the rich people wouldn't pay the bill - the MATH JUST DOESN'T WORK!
SO - WHAT IS ALL THIS MESS THAT OBAMA IS PUSHING? -- GUESS! -- DESTROY WHAT'S LEFT AND RECREATE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!
Nothing else works because it's designed NOT TO WORK!
