Comments on: Does all this Snowfall Disprove Climate Change? https://constructonomics.com/blog/2010/02/10/does-all-this-snowfall-disprove-climate-change/ A construction industry blog that digs below bedrock Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:22:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Michael Thompson https://constructonomics.com/blog/2010/02/10/does-all-this-snowfall-disprove-climate-change/comment-page-1/#comment-1106 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:22:11 +0000 http://www.constructonomics.com/blog/?p=238#comment-1106 Al, you brought up an interesting point … the Global Warming disciples, more and more, are not referring to Gloval Warming. Now, they are calling it Climate Change. That way they have covered all their bases, whether they step outside and it is really Hot, or sit inside with their electricity off caused by an ice storm. They are so disingenuous it would be hilarious if it were not such a good chance that they will eventually wind up making everyone pay for their paranoia.

The very same nature that has had sweltering global climates followed by ice ages over and over again throughout the roughly 4 billion years of earth’s existence. One, I repeat ONE eruption of a super volcano such as Yellowstone produces more affect on the global climate than ALL of man’s green house emissions since his existence. Geologists have estimated the Yellowstone erupts about every 100,000 years, and they have found at least 7 super caldrons worldwide.

The development of the huge hole that developed over Antarctica in the eighties and nineties led to bans on fluorocarbons and development of alternatives. We (according to the Environmentalist) were soon to lose our ozone protection layer resulting in more global warming and doom mankind to live underground for eternity to avoid the torrent of UV radiation. Now, scientists agree that the ozone hole soon resulted in a layer of high clouds that (in fact) are not only blocking UV rays, and COOLING the earth, not WARMING it.

Global warming and its disciples have a political agenda, not a meteorological one. If one studies the “fixes” discussed at Kyoto and Copenhagen the truth of the Global Warming dogma is quickly revealed. It is an attempt to redistribute the wealth from those countries that have to those countries that don’t, Socialism on a global scale.

I am certain that MANY will take issue with my position. For those that do, google “terra farming”. Even a deliberate attempt to change climate on a global scale would take generations and generations. As for the ice caps melting, be not afraid. If enough of the ice melts it will shut down the Gulf Stream, which will lead to an ice age of catastrophic proportions. How do we know? It has happened over and over again many times BEFORE mankind even existed.

The Earth warms when it is closer to the Sun in a circular orbit and Ice Ages occur when we are in an egg shape orbit. We just left the circular orbit and are moving into the egg shaped orbit now. So we have 10,000+years of global cooling ahead – see if Man can change that? Plus the Sun just left its hot cycle – which is why Mars has excessive global warming too – or did our pollution just extend to Mars?

What is evident from the weather is the demonstration that weather patterns are cyclic. 10 years ago (+/-) we had a blizzard, 20 years ago (+/-) we had a blizzard, 30 years ago… you get my point. Droughts, hurricanes, etc. follow the same patterns. On a very large scale, the earth is warming up. It’ll reach a point where it’ll start cooling down, long after we are all dead and forgotten. The ice ages have cycles as well.

Next thing to consider is whether man is having a positive or negative influence on the greater trend of global warming. Some scientific evidence suggests that because we control wild fires and eliminate large areas of woodlands/brush, we are reducing the natural increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Hence, the rate of increase is less than normal.

What upsets me in this issue is how we allow our government to over burden industry with regulations and excessive emissions controls while other countries continue to increase their production of green house gases. Our industry and economy suffers. And, the biggest proponents of “Climate Change Regulations” are getting wealthy from it. Look at the money Mr. Gore has made from this issue. Do you think he would be pushing the issue if there wasn’t such profit in it for him?

I think we need to keep the air we breath clean and start moving to higher ground. Remember, the planet is still warming up from the last ice age.

Typical human hubris. Cosmic phenomena are more of a factor and sorry to inform my fellow mortals but we can’t do much about that. “Climate change” is a constant and should not be surprising to many clear thinkers. Direct attribution to “man” is something different. I need to be convinced further. Given the current climate (no pun intended) in the “scientific” community I don’t see definitive data forthcoming any time soon.

There are very real concerns in areas like Tibet where people are facing drought conditions due to lack of snow or percipitation. The concern regarding glaciers is not that they are melting, but the RATE at which they are melting. I am always amused when people say well we have had extreme snow in the East so that must mean global warming is a lie?

After the revelations about the corruption and outright fradulent data at the University of East Anglia, I would find it really difficult to take any proponent of this “theory” seriously.

Exposed as liars, these ideologues would ruin economies, and set back the human standard of living centuries in order to cry wolf in the name of their new religion…(Environmentalism). Or is it really facism?

Anyone who would perpetrate a lie and a fraud of this magnitude on the world deserves one fate. To be discredited totally.

If they had any shame, this would be the time for them to ne red faced.

Glaciers have been melting for thousands of years and now the IPCC wants you to believe that the cause is manmade. It wasn’t manmade for thousands of years but it is now. The polar ice caps are melting. Sea level will rise. Get used to it because there is nothing you, or anybody else, can do about it. Even if we all move into tee-pees and walk every where we go, global warming will continue…we might be able to postpone or extend the impact but it will occur. Is a disaster better because it occurs later?

We have been below freezing on at least 10 separate days and even got snow. It effects different business’ differently….restaurants with outdoor seating hate it but coffee shops love it. The business is little effected temperature but rain is our enemy! Hard to stain a deck or in the rain!

We know the ice shelf is getting smaller, but only 10,000 years ago we were in an ice age, you can’t blame that change in climate on auto exhaust.
