Global cooling - it's the new global warming

Posted by Steve Orme on April 10, 2008 3:45 PM | 

Right, get your heads around this one. The next big danger is global cooling. Yep. This is a result of global warming.

You know what global cooling means? Even more UN and research grant money for people who might be better employed developing a lawn that mows itself.
Never has so much boondoggle been swallowed by so many. Here is a case in point. I know this is hard to believe but I had a day off. It coincided with my district council - West Lancashire - collecting recycling boxes. Oh yes, all sorted into glass, plastic, paper and cardboard.
With incredulity I watched all four boxes being tipped into one common cage.
Do they think we are stupid? Well clearly.
Take the ice shelf melting in Antarctica. This is the end of the summer It is known in the southern hemisphere as the time of heavy ice melting.
Up at the other pole the winter ice is thicker than since Nanook was out culling seals.
In fact here is the one to remember; between the mid 70s and 1998 global temperatures rose. Since then they have stayed the same.
The world also warmed up between 1914 and 1918 then cooled between 45 and 60, a time of smog-bound industrialisation.
Nobody is saying the earth has a flat-line climate. It changes. It has ice ages caused by cosmic events. |t is not under our control. That is the vanity of man.
Of course we want a clean atmosphere. That’s why car makers have been working so hard for years on leaner burns and better consumption, catalysers and high grade engine management.
Drive your 4x4 with pride. It’s not your fault.
