Well, the noon temperature in Washington DC at the President Obama’s swearing-in was 28 degrees F., eight degrees colder than when Bush was sworn in eight years ago.
So is that what Bush’s much bally-hooed failure to curb CO2 emissions produced in the way of climate change—a Inauguration Day for Obama that’s eight degrees colder than Bush’s inauguration eight years ago? Shouldn’t more CO2 mean warming, not cooling?
Well, as I said in my earlier post today, this is not scientifically significant. But it is funny.
It’s also in line with the lack of warming of the last decade, and with the global cooling we’ve experienced over the last three years. This has occurred even though atmospheric CO2 levels have continued to increase. That is scientifically significant—it casts quite a bit of doubt on the climate models that supposedly indicate that higher CO2 levels mean higher temperatures.

By the way, if we forget about Inaugural Day temperatures and compare Bush’s first year in office with his last year, we find global cooling as well. The British Hadley Centre shows a lower overall global temperature for 2008 than for 2001.
So here we’ve got rising CO2 and declining global temperatures. Just what kind of demon gas is this carbon dioxide?

Co2 feeds is the gas plants need to breathe. Plants have been around along time. The oceans have and release an enormous amount of co2. Perhaps if we pass a stimulus package to kill all plant life and make it illegal then drain the oceans everything will work out just fine.

Come to Costa Rica-Be part of a movement of people who want to escape the rate race and be part of a change in conciousness. No military, clean food, clean water, kind people, amazing natural beauty, and the chance to be free. Centuryfortuna@ice.co.cr

There are a number of people leaving the US–just on time. The country is beyond dangerous–it is a powder keg waitin to explode. Come to Costa Rica, here there is clean water, clean air, no army, and the chance to step away from what is coming. If you are reading your news on Prison Planet, the government knows and they will look for you 1st to put you in the REX-84 camps. Centuryfortuna@ice.co.cr

Didn’tcha know? It’s no longer “global warming” now. It’s just called “climate change”. They saw that the people weren’t buying the “Global warming” hype when they were freezing their butts off. So, they had to change the label.

Russian have new secret technologies , sending cold air from Sibera to America !!!!!!!! Long live Moscow !!LOL

With all these cap and trade and CO2 taxes, do we get a tax-rebate when the temperature drops? In which case we should be quids in already as the global temperature is plummeting at the moment even in spite of increasing CO2.

The planet undergoes shifts and cycles. The hard thing to grasp is that some cycles are within OTHER cycles. So as your 12 month cycle goes on year after year, the temperatures seem to be shifting and it seems like something could be going wrong. But then as the separate cycles work themselves out, no conditions are brought about to unexpectedly overheat or overcool the at once. Sometimes there’s a period of excessive heat and sometimes there’s a period of excessive coolness, and sometimes those periods last longer than they did last period, but that’s all part of the cycles.
Don’t worry, be happy! (If only the ’90s could speak)

global warming is a jew tax.

The best solution to these problems is to help wake up sheeple. The best way to wake sheeple up is to get involved by educating them to the facts–no matter how stubborn and hard-headed they may be. Some of you may have been sheeple at some time in the past, so ask yourself, what did it take to awaken? Patience is a virtue, but there appears to be very little time for the $hit to hit the fan, so if you truly care for your loved ones and humanity, you better start getting involved, because there is the very real possibility that lack of care and action will find many casualties that might involve you, your family, friends, neighbors, etc. Keep in mind that the elite dirtbags have the means to be placed out of harms way–they have your $$$$$, and so, while you may eventually seek a slice of bread and water, the elite on the other hand might be in South America enjoying filet mignon, and champagne. Point is: do nothing, and risk a lot to lose. Do something, and feel good for atleast trying to do what you know in your heart, mind and spirit to be the right thing to do.
EDUCATE OTHERS!
Peace, while we stay can have it.

Does curbing CO2 mean that we have to cap the Hawaiian volcanoes that have been erupting continuously for years? I really like them.
Seriously, why don’t we just leave CO2 alone. Don’t you think we have bigger problems?

Well, CO2 doesn’t really matter that much in the enviroment. In a very limited test, it can be shown to make the planet hotter, but only in tests that cannot include all the factors which contribute.
Truth is, this is about taxation. Taxation on every productive member of Earth’s population to support the UN. They considered a Tobin Tax, but didn’t want it because they eventually want a one-world currency, though they are years away on that. What is better than a tax on life itself?
