Its All about the Timing … Global Warming Conference Held in Buffalo, NY with -6 Degrees Temperatures
Talk about bad timing …
The “Global Warming” crowd may want to get a clue and a better sense of timing when it comes to holding events. Buffalo State College hosts the national teach in conference on Global Warming Situations on the very day that local temperature bottomed out at minus 6 degrees. It is kind of hard to get serious about global warming when one cannot feel their toes due to the cold. Also, would not it have been ironic for those attending the conference that it took more time to warm up their cars than to actually travel top the event?
No evidence of global warming here, at least not this morning, when unofficial reports to the National Weather Service listed temperatures as low as 9 degrees below zero elsewhere in Erie County.
Global Warming in Holland … The Netherlands Canels Freeze Over … The Return of Hans Brinker
The ghost of Hans Brinker says, Al Gore and global warming be damned as thousands 
of Dutch strap on their silver skates.
Hey Al, they didn’t seem to get your memo on global warming in The Netherlands. For the first time in 12 years the Netherlands’ canals froze this month. The Dutch strapped on their skates ala Hans Brinker as the freezing temperatures afforded an increasingly rare chance to skate across their flat country.
After more than a week of cold, an estimated 2.3 million skaters, out of a population of 16 million, have taken to frozen canals and lakes, according to a poll released ahead of the weekend.
That number is expected to double if Queen Beatrix decides to don her skates as well.
Canals in the Netherlands no longer freeze every winter, so the chance to ice skate outdoors created a frenzy in Kinderdijk and elsewhere in the south. (Michael Kooren/Reuters)
“The number of opportunities you have to skate in the Dutch winter is decreasing,” said Jochem van de Laarschot, who usually speaks on behalf of Dutch food retailer Ahold but took a half a day off last week to skate.
A Rare Deep Freeze Warms the Dutch Soul
UPDATE I: 44% Say Global Warming Due To Planetary Trends, Not People
A recent Rasmussen poll shows that 44% of people now believe that global warming is due to planetary trends and not people. Hey Al, you seem to be losing the battle even though you have all of the liberal MSM in your pocket. All this and Al Gore is losing the propaganda war. In July 2006, 46% of those polled said that global warming was primarily caused by man, while 35% said it was planetary. Americans now are not buying that they are to blame.
Al Gore’s side may be coming to power in Washington, but they appear to be losing the battle on the idea that humans are to blame for global warming.
Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.
Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Blaming man for global warming support waning. How soon will Al Gore be blaming man for the impending Ice Age?
Red State gets the prize for the best title of post for loss of support from the blame man crowd … “An Inconvenient Poll”.
Can’t we have just a little warming? Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman Says He will move “quickly and decisively” to push legislation curbing greenhouse gases (Global Warming)
Nice timing Waxman … Congressman declares war on Global Warming day before coldest day of the year.
California Democratic US Representative Henry Waxman awaits the opening of the news Congress so that he can rush in to have the first hearings on global warming as he said, “he will move ‘quickly and decisively’ to push legislation curbing greenhouse gases with a goal of passing climate legislation out of his committee before Memorial Day”. Let’s hope Henry’s car starts this morning with record low temps across the US so that he can get to work.
It reminds me of a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where Sir Galahad the Pure asks for just a little peril, and in this case would be warming.
Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don’t think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it’s too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it’s my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we’ve got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
“Our environment and our economy depend on congressional action to confront the threat of climate change and secure our energy independence,” said Waxman. “U.S. industries want to invest in a clean energy future, but uncertainties about whether, when and how greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced is deterring these vital investments.”
Waxman’s timing also harkens back to January 2004 when Al Gore took to the podium in Manhattan’s Beacon Theater today to blasted President Bush for contributing to “global warming” on the coldest day in a decade in New York City.
One may not want to make comments regarding global warming when its 11 degree wind chills in Atlanta, GA and when the Deep South woke up to temperatures in the low teens. Chicago, Ill is experiencing sub-zero weather and windchills in the -50’s. The state of Maine may have just set a new record low as Big Black River, ME bottomed out at -50 degrees.

Hey Al Gore What About Global Warming, Pravda Says Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
The Ice Age Cometh. Does Pravda have more credibility than Al “Earth in the Balance” Gore? Has it finally come to this?
Note to Al Gore, Earth on the brink of an “Ice Age”. Obviously Al did not get the memo. Talk about an Inconvenient Truth, as News Busters states … As Democrats and their president-elect, with invaluable assistance from their media minions, continue spreading climate hysteria in order to raise taxes and redistribute wealth, a possibly inconvenient truth has just been presented to the international community: “The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age.
The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.
Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.
Oh That Global Warming … Snow & Frigid Temps be Damned … The Ice Age Cometh
Hey Al Gore what do you have to say about this? As Al Gore sits back in his posh 
Belle Meade, TN mansion this weekend what must he think of the “global warming” going on all around him? Some are predicting the coldest weather in 15 years. Maybe Al is getting together a documentary on “The Ice Age Cometh”. What does Al have to say?
Wicked weather on its way from Chicago to New York City . The weather is being described as being the coldest in years.
Winter will make a strong push over the next several days with a snowstorm followed by extreme cold through next week. On the heels of this weekends storm over the Northeast, a frigid pool of air from the Arctic will press into the Midwest on Tuesday and into the Northeast on Wednesday
Storm pattern and cold from the Midwest to the Northeast.
Article You Will Never Find in US Newspaper: ‘2008 The Year Man-made Global Warming Was Disproved
Could anyone imagine an article being printed in a US newspaper that 2008 was the 
year that man-made global warming was disproved? Neither can Newsbusters.
It would appear that the Telegraph of London has more journalistic integrity than their fellow newspapers across the pond in the United States. The Telegraph’s article titled, “2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved,” has certainly provided an alternative and interesting read that all should take a look at that is much different than the pandering media global warming alarmists. Will there be an honest discussion with regards to global warming or cooling that it is controlled by “natural factors”, not man-made?
Easily one of the most important stories of 2008 has been all the evidence suggesting that this may be looked back on as the year when there was a turning point in the great worldwide panic over man-made global warming. Just when politicians in Europe and America have been adopting the most costly and damaging measures politicians have ever proposed, to combat this supposed menace, the tide has turned in three significant respects.
First, all over the world, temperatures have been dropping in a way wholly unpredicted by all those computer models which have been used as the main drivers of the scare. Last winter, as temperatures plummeted, many parts of the world had snowfalls on a scale not seen for decades. This winter, with the whole of Canada and half the US under snow, looks likely to be even worse. After several years flatlining, global temperatures have dropped sharply enough to cancel out much of their net rise in the 20th century.
More on Global Warming … Hey Al Gore … It’s Really Cold out there … Global Icing?
Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! I think Al Gore just took this song off his Christmas play list. One really must wonder what goes on in Al’s mind when he preaches “global warming” yet steps outside and freezes his but off.
Yes, it is true sir … it is 4 degrees out side.
Across the United States the weather has not cooperated with Al Gore theories on ‘Global warming”. How soon will it be before all puts forth a documentary on “The Ice Age Cometh”?
The weather outside was frightful from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Ore., on Monday, with last-minute holiday shoppers shivering and stranded travelers hoping for the best as Christmas rapidly approached. The little town of Eustis, Maine, got nearly 3 1/2 feet of snow. In Marysville, Wash., north of Seattle, heavy snow collapsed part of the roof Monday at the Whitley Evergreen factory, which makes modular buildings. No one was injured, but inspectors were dispatched to make sure other buildings in the business park were safe.

CNN Meteorologist Chad Myers States Manmade Global Warming Theory ‘Arrogant’
Add another member of the weather community who has a dissenting point of view with manmade global warming. CNN’s meteorologist Chad Meyers is questioning the notion of manmade global warming calling it “pretty arrogant”. Meyers questions like many have that man in all his insignificance can affect the vastness of nature.
CNN Meteorologist Chad Myers had never bought into the notion that man can alter the climate and the Vegas snowstorm didn’t impact his opinion. Myers, an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist, explained on CNN’s Dec. 18 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that the whole idea is arrogant and mankind was in danger of dying from other natural events more so than global warming. “You know, to think that we could affect weather all that much is pretty arrogant,” Myers said. “Mother Nature is so big, the world is so big, the oceans are so big – I think we’re going to die from a lack of fresh water or we’re going to die from ocean acidification before we die from global warming, for sure.” “We have 100 years worth of data, not millions of years that the world’s been around,” Myers continued.
