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.

“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.

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.
