Even the Left is Laughing

Even the left is now laughing at global warming. Not my words. But it doesn't
stop me from laughing along with the columnist who just published what I
predicted many, many storms ago. It's been at least two years since I recall
saying to citizens of Adler Nation, that I have an allergy to all bandwagons.
And that would include the Climate Crisis Cacophony. You like that word?
It's so perfect for the Crisis Heads. Cacophony is about the harshness of
certain sounds, like the sounds of Al Gore comparing the EARTH to a baby
that is being suffocated. Cacophony is also a great word because of the last
two syllables, PHONY. So much of this jacked up or should I say Jack
Laytoned up crisis is PHONY. Deroy Murdock lays out some bullet points,
that I will be happy to pass along.
· Nearly four inches of snow blanketed the United Arab Emirates' Jebel Jais
region for just the second time in recorded history on Jan. 24. Citizens were
speechless. The local dialect has no word for snowfall.
· Dutchmen on ice skates sped past windmills as canals in Holland froze in
mid-January for the first time since 1997. Defense Minister Eimert
van Middelkoop, who inhabits a renovated 17th Century windmill, stumbled
on the ice and fractured his wrist.
Murdock writes, “Earth faces global cooling, both troglodyte right-wingers
and lachrymose left-wingers find Albert Gore's simmering-planet hypothesis
increasingly hilarious. ‘In terms of (global warming's) capacity to cause the
human species harm, I don't think it makes it into the top 10,’ Dr. Robert
Giegengack, former chairman of University of Pennsylvania's Earth and
Environmental Sciences Department, told the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Giegengack voted for Gore in 2000, and says he likely would again.
Commentator Harold Ambler declared Jan. 3 on HuffingtonPost.com
that he voted for Barack Obama ‘for a thousand times a thousand reasons.’
He added that Gore ‘owes the world an apology for his actions regarding
global warming.’ He called Gore's assertion that ‘the science is in’ on this
issue ‘the biggest whopper ever sold to the public in the history of mankind.’
‘Not only is it false that human activity has any significant effect on global
warming or the weather in general, but for the record, global warming is over,’
retired Navy meteorologist Dr. Martin Hertzberg wrote on carbon-sense.com.
The physical chemist and self-described ‘scientist and life-long liberal Democrat’
added: ‘The average temperature of Earth's atmosphere has declined over the
last 10 years. From the El Nino Year of 1998 until Jan. 2007, it dropped a
quarter of a degree Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit). From Jan 2007 to the
spring of 2008, it dropped a whopping three-quarters of a degree Celsius
(1.35 degrees Fahrenheit). Those data further prove that the fear-mongering
hysteria about human-caused global warming is completely unjustified and is
totally counterproductive to our Nation's essential needs and security.’
‘It is a tribute to the scientific ignorance of politicians and journalists that they
keep regurgitating the nonsense about human-caused global warming," veteran
Left-wing commentator and Nation magazine columnist Alexander Cockburn
wrote. "The greenhouse fear mongers rely on unverified, crudely oversimplified
models to finger mankind's sinful contribution -- and carbon trafficking, just like
the old indulgences, is powered by guilt, credulity, cynicism, and greed.’
Some leftists believe the collective hallucination of warmism distracts from what
they consider urgent progressive priorities:
‘The most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and
profit-driven corporations and their cartels backed by military might,’ University
of Ottawa physics professor Dr. Denis Rancourt has written. ‘The global warming
myth is a red herring that contributes to hiding this truth.’
Social historian Dr. David Noble of Canada's York University concurs. He has
lamented that warmism is ‘diverting attention from the radical challenges of the
global justice movements.’
Geophysicist Dr. Claude Allegre, previously Education Minister in France's late
1990s Socialist government, denounced the ‘prophets of doom of global warming.’
He sounded amused in a September 2006 L'Express article. ‘The ecology of helpless
protesting has become a very lucrative business for some people.’
So-called "global warming" has accomplished the impossible: It has united liberals
and conservatives in laughter.” :lol:
