by Bill Smith, ARRA Editorial: Davis Guggenheim won an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth." In accepting the Oscar, he said "We did so because we were moved to act by this man (gestures to Al Gore). ... all of us were inspired by his fight for 30 years to tell this Truth to all of us. Thank you, Al. We are so inspired. We share this with you." Al Gore said, "My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act, that's a renewable resource. Let's renew it."So now you have it -- Global Warming has been going on for at least 30 years. Or has it! Well let's flash back to a Time article on June 24, 1974 tilted "Another Ice Age?" A few quotes: "As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades (e.g., 30 years). The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."
"Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. ... Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. ... Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years."
So what is the truth? Thirty years ago we faced Global Cooling and a future potential Ice Age. Now, 33 years later we learn that "Al" was worrying 30 years ago that we were going to have Global Warming and now it's here. Let's see, the Earth is how old? Al Gore and other Global Warming worriers are how old? The truth is weather cycles fluctuate! Another truth is that that Astronomers monitoring near-Earth objects expect an asteroid is going near the earth but report that the asteroid 2003 QQ47 hitting Earth in 2014 is one in 909,000. But then who knows, maybe it will hit the earth.
Liberal elites say we have Global Warming and they want you to change this by giving up your life style. Are they willing to change their life-style of luxury? No they just buy offsets. I say, let's wait another seven years before worrying about a weather cycle that has swung in 30 years from "we are heading to an Ice Age" to "Global Warming is upon us." If we get hit by the asteroid, it won't matter. If not, which I expect, then maybe we will have more facts on how mankind thinks it is going to change the global weather patters which have been in motion for thousands of years. Oh yes there was an "Inconvenient Truth" displayed at the Oscars -- Al Gore has ballooned - and its not due to warm air! One might recommend his reading another Presidential hopeful's book: Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork by Mike Huckabee.
