A recent article from Canada’s National Post points out the following:
• Snow cover over North America, much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966;
• The average temperature in January was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average;
• China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century;
• The Artic Sea ice that had melted to its lowest levels on record . . . is back and, according to the Canadian Ice Service, “is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year;”
• Respected scientists from Canada and Russia are now predicting a long period of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.
So much for Al Gore’s “universal” theories on global warming. Was it all just an act? A desperate attempt to stay in the public spotlight?
Nick Nichols with Johns Hopkins writes:
The alarmists are likely to become really alarmed when they read about the International Conference On Climate Change that will begin deliberations in New York City tomorrow. More than 400 scientists, economists and experts are scheduled to attend the three-day event organized by the Heartland Institute for the purpose of challenging the claim that global warming is a “crisis.” According to the sponsors, some 19,000 American scientists have signed a petition saying global warming is probably natural and not a crisis—so much for the often touted consensus that the global warming lobby keeps yapping about.
It will be interesting to see what the outcomes will be from this conference. And how much media coverage it will receive.
