I normally don't post links, but in this case I found a few good ones.
First, some nostalgia for those old enough to remember global cooling.
An article on engineering solutions to resolve global cooling. It is even more amusing because it sounds like some of the absurd solutions promoted to stop global warming. Also notice the "inverted hockey stick" graph. Seems they lied in the opposite direction back in the late 70's.
Second
the site debunking the famed hockey stick graph. This is the research site form the fellows who found the problems with the data. Some is a bit technical, but it is a great site. (Myself,
I simply argue that the hockey stick graph says it was not warmer in the late middle ages, so that must mean vikings built their homes under glaciers in Greenland and sailed there through ice covered seas. Since that makes no sense, I can't believe the graph. Actually, there is even more historical evidence than that rebutting the hockeystick, from Alpine villages now under glaciers, to simple historical records of plants thriving in climates now too cold for them, but apparently prominent figures of the late middle ages were in the pay of Big Oil and lied to hide the truth of global warming, or something... Anyway Dick Cheney is behind it all, or Karl Rove, I know that for sure.)
Third, a terribly amusing site
Number Watch. Check out their "number of the month" feature, a lot of rebuttals of global warming nonsense there. They obviously have a slightly UK-centric bias, but the UK's insanities are close enough to those here that most of what they write will sound very familiar. (If anything the UK is like seeing the US five or ten years in the future, at least as concerns environmental and social idiocies.)
Finally,
the best nutshell summary of everything wrong with global warming theories. I have been looking for this specific page for a long time, and finally found it tonight. If you click on no other link, at least give this a look.
Well, that's it. Just a few links. Normally I would at least make a few comments, but it is late, so I am just posting the links for my readers. I found the quite informative and hope you will too.
I will return to my more substantive posts either tomorrow after my business is complete, or Thursday morning at the latest. So check back often to see if there are new posts.
POSTSCRIPT
Actually, my sarcasm above raises a good question. Should Obama lose, and I am sure he will, how will the Democrats explain everything that happens after 2008? Without Dick Cheney and Haliburton to blame, and without Karl Rove to fill the Blofeld role, how can they explain any apparent conservative trends in the American public? Obviously, no right thinking people could believe in conservative views on their own, so what evil genius will they blame without Rove and Cheney?
And on a related note, has anyone noticed that, according to the left, Bush is both a moron and an evil genius? He is too stupid to tie his own shoes, but fooled all of congress into believing Iraq had WMDs. So, is he supposed to be an idiot savant specializing in deception? Or are the lefties saying Democrats in congress are even dumber than they pretend Bush is? For that matter, why do they want to claim Bush is a moron? He beat the two Democrat nominees for president, presumably their best and brightest, does it make them feel
GOOD to lose to a moron? If it were me, I would be claiming he was an evil genius to help explain away my defeat...
