Brrrr... Global Cooling Causes Armed Clashes in Canada

Hide the steak sauce...
We may be eating each other in thirty years due to global warming but this year the earth actually cooled.
Who'd a thunk it?

In Canada the record snow and cold is causing armed clashes!
A record snowfall in eastern Canada this winter has inspired some, crushed others, led to a rash of snow-blower thefts and incited at least two armed clashes, authorities said Wednesday.
Scientists are calling the disorder "snow rage."
Inquirer.net reported:

An elderly Quebec City man pulled a 12-gauge shotgun on a female snowplow operator on Sunday for blowing snow onto his property, after warning her.

In fact, the BBC even admitted today that global temperatures have not risen since 1998:

Global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the La Nina current in the Pacific, UN meteorologists have said.

The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the summer.

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.
It's been a very difficult year inside the global warming cult. Not only was there record snow and cold across the globe, but one of the prestigious global warming religionists is being accused of fraud.
Doug Keenan wrote in with this:

Following are some remarks about my exposé, “The fraud allegation against some climatic research of Wei-Chyung Wang”.

Wei-Chyung Wang is a professor at the University at Albany, State University of New York. He has been doing research on climate for over 30 years, and he has authored or co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles. He has also received an Appreciation Plaque from the Office of Science in the U.S.A., commending him, “For your insightful counsel and excellent science. …”. The plaque resulted in particular from his research on global warming.

I have formally alleged that Wang committed fraud in important parts of his global-warming research. Below is a relevant timeline. (This web page will be updated with news about the case, as the investigations progress.)
It's been a rough go for the GW religionists lately.

OK, can we FINALLY stop this global warming hysteria and get Algore to STFU once and for all? Thank you.

No, because it is no longer global warming, but CLIMATE CHANGE!!

You see, in all of history, the climate never changed before. And now it is. So that is bad

(And as an aside, I am even one who thinks that humnan activities DO cause a rise in temperatures -- I just am sick of the hysteria)

So does that mean Al Gore is not just putting on weight, but being fattened up by his supporters for the eventual buffet? Brrr, indeed.

I for one, have respect for our former VP's honest effort in carbon sequestration, and his personal sacrifice in carrying it around with him. Saving the world, one donut at a time, is something I can get behind too :)

As a one time financial auditor (and now an "auditee") the pattern of "problems" (hockey stick, UHI impact, Y2K issue)with key studies in global warming are, should we say, problematic.

As the author states the issues raised don't mean that the conclusions reached are wrong but that further study should be made. But, in my experience when the underlying work is wrong (or fraudulent) the end result and conclusion is rarely correct.

Maybe it is just the accountant in me but it seems that there really needs to be some standards applied to GW research - openness of data and code would be a good start. Rationalization of results with prior accepted research BEFORE PUBLICATION would be another. Review committee that actually addresses issues (i.e. not the IPCC) would be another good step.

Fortunately these issues are being discovered and publicized (at least on the internet) - word will get out. I suppose then we can move onto the next crisis (sigh!).

But, but wait!

I have a solution for all those who believe we are doomed unless we Americans, living in the richest country on the planet, do something to reduce man-made global warming right now. OK, aside from converting to energy efficient light bulbs, trading in the gas-guzzling SUV for a Prius, using public transportation more often, insulating one's home, becoming a vegetarian, and living a simpler "green" life, here is something bigger than all those puny suggestions: Stop having children! Think of what it means... all that "hazardous" carbon dioxide that won't be exhaled because there will be less people; and all those hamburgers that won't be eaten (children love hamburgers), reducing the methane gas expelled into the atmosphere by unnecessary cows. Consider the value to the earth of the approximately 40 million abortions since 1973 - 40 million lives not contributing to this crisis - a number that must be taken into account when considering the shameful four million births per year (approx.) in the U.S. Also, since Saint Al Gore said on March 30, in response to a question about climate skeptics: "I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view. They’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the earth is flat. That demeans them a little bit, but it’s not that far off," the true believers must be the vast, vast majority, i.e. the opposite of "tiny, tiny minority," therefore... the truly committed vast, vast majority will contribute greatly by eliminating a large portion of these four million births per annum. Unfortunately, all births cannot be stopped because there are still some stupid people who simply don't care - conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, and Mormons - and, of course, there will be some accidents. Perhaps, they will stay hidden from sight once they realize the harm they have done as a result of their selfishness.

The really hard core of global warming / climate change fanatics have no interest in global warming or climate change except as cover for imposing a socialist totalitarian control over everyone. They will come right out and say that saving the Earth means doing away with capitalism. They will come right out and say that to save the Earth we will have to do away with democracy.

You all look at this GW thing too literally. The goal of these UN crowds and global warming crowds is to impose a world wide carbon tax so that they can have a hold and use of our money without our say in it. Before Annan left office, he tried his damnest to push thru foreign exchange taxes to combat world poverty (principally of their pockets). Alas, that moron in the White House and his Elvis wannabe crony in Japan stopped them. Now they cook up carbon tax to combat world poverty. Again, that moron stops them until the globe turns cold and exposes them as fools.

To the contrary, it is not just a socialist plot... it may be a targeted socialist plot. For market and economic benefit.

Look at the link on the Fraud charges against Wang. We already know that the Chinese "Red Army, Inc" has plants everywhere doing industrial espionage. I know it.. I've met one for sure and I believe more than one. {and the FBI knows of them}.

Let's ask ourselves who benefits the most if the west cuts way back on the use of fossil fuels. For one, and mainly, the one country that has no intent on following Kyoto or any of its successor. How do we know that? Because they have the werewithal to buil new-style nuclear plants, yet they continue to build new coal plants.

And they are a VAST importer of oil. If the market for oil goes down, they benefit. If we develop non-bio sources of energy, they benefit. If we shut down our own groos polluting factories, they benefit.

Generally I hate conspiracists, but considering the huge flow of campaign finance funds to certain people in the US, do we REALLY think there's just an ideological tie?

No.. follow the money - LONG TERM.

If global warming isn't real, how do you explain the fact that in my hometown it was 54 yesterday and today it is 68? 14 degrees in one day??!! It's global warming for sure!

meatbrain is a meathead as is shown by his link.

If you look at the 10-year trend (1998-2008) Global Warming has flat-lined. Of course, since meatbrain is a meathead, too, he doesn't even notice (or ignores) that his chart also deliberately distorts what rise there is. This winter the global average temperature (which is statistically similar to the global average cellphone number) fell .6C, which is roughly equivalent to the entire increase in the 20th century.

Yes, meatbrain is a meathead -- a loudmouthed dope -- an ultra-maroon -- well you get the picture.

Dave is lying, of course. The 10-year trend is most definitely upwards.

"...[the] chart also deliberately distorts what rise there is."

Dave cannot show any 'deliberate distortion' -- he merely makes the assertion without evidence. He's lying -- again.

brianless meat, you are one of the most Worthless people to ever infect the blogosphere. Why GP puts up with you, I shall never understand.

The Earth's temperature fell almost a full degree in the last year alone, in fact it fell each month, EVERY month. And with the sun remaining quiet, it will continue to drop.

Wrap your nearly non-existent brain around that.

Apologies to everyone else. Such fools as brainless meat should not be suffered.

"The Earth's temperature fell almost a full degree in the last year alone, in fact it fell each month, EVERY month."

Otter's unsourced, unsupported statement is worthless, as usual. And it is unable to address the fact that the global temperature has been rising for many years.

"And with the sun remaining quiet, it will continue to drop."

Otter's ignorance is painfully evident. The correlation between sun and global mean temperature ended more than thirty years ago.

Something needs to be understood clearly.

Jim Hoft is a liar, and most of his posts on this blog are devoted to spreading lies.

'"Global warming stopped in 1998" has become a recent mantra of those who wish to deny the reality of human-caused global warming. The continued rapid increase of the five-year running mean temperature exposes this assertion as nonsense. In reality, global temperature jumped two standard deviations above the trend line in 1998 because the “El Nino of the century” coincided with the calendar year, but there has been no lessening of the underlying warming trend.'

A graph of the five-year running mean temperature makes it crystal clear that global temperatures continue to rise.
