Climate Change – Global Warming – It’ll rain tomorrow
By Brian Kirwin | Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 | Catch-AllHello. Mr. Hurricane. Where are you? They promised you’d be visiting with a vengeance. We had to pass Cap and Tax, or Mother Nature would get mad at us and turn the planet into a Roland Emmerich movie.
“We over-predicted what has occurred” – National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Wamsley
The best scientists, the best equipment money can buy, and these guys can’t forecast how many hurricanes will form 6 months ahead of time.
But they can tell us what the weather will be 50 years from now?
Why aren’t they calling it “global warming” anymore? Notice that? It’s now called “climate change.” Why not “global warming?”
Because the globe isn’t warming. It hasn’t been warming since 2001.
But these scientists say “Hold on. Those facts don’t mean anything. We’re really in horrible, grave danger – so keep funding us.”
They’re becoming as useful as the TV weatherman calling for a 50% chance of rain. I mean, couldn’t he at least flip a coin and break the tie?
So instead of 14 tropical storms, we had 8 and we hardly noticed.
And scientists insist that even though the earth isn’t warming anymore, just wait. It will be hotter than a Louisiana August before ya know it. The coasts will flood and the Statue of Liberty will start swimming.
Because they’re never wrong.

In my ever so humble opinion, those who rail against the possibility of global warming ignore the real issue.
Regardless if you believe global warming is real or fake that does not excuse corporations from damaging the air we breathe, water we drink, or land we farm. But for some reason the issue of corporate responsibility goes largely unnoticed by the anti-global warming crowd. End the pollution and you’ll end the concern over global warming.
And if it costs a business too much money to be a proper steward of the environment to clean up a mess the business is making, then perhaps they have no business being in business.
Shane, go tell China that, and let me know what they tell you.
Ask any parent whether the “Gosh Mom, Timmy did it too” argument holds any water with them in excusing their child’s offense.
Just because some other country or corporation acts irresponsibly does not give permission for others to do likewise.
And if everyone in your neighborhood is a violent criminal, and you decide by yourself to stop, you aren’t suddenly living in a safe neighborhood.
The US polluters can go out of business tomorrow, and if the rest of the world pollutes, the earth will hardly notice.
Wow it’s not even 9am.. I need to at least have a second coffee before diving into guano crazy analogies. I mean if you moved into a neighorhood where everyone was a violent criminal, I’d fire your realtor.
And yet I believe your point is “what’s the difference if one person stops and everyone else doesn’t” in the case of your creepy neighborhood, congrats! You get to be the first person starting to right a wrong.
So are you seriously saying that all pollution worldwide would need to cease simultaneously or there’s no point in anyone stopping?
And for the record, I’m not in favor of saving the earth, I’m in favor of saving ourselves.
Shane, have you noticed how little manufacturing and factory activity is going on in America compared to a century ago?
Add another to the list…and named storms does not mean it as to effect the U.S. most do not. In fact the Pacific has been more active this year, which typically will lead to less development in the Atlantic.
Best money can buy ?? More like more cuts by the government will lead to less technology and less improved forecasts. Try forcasting a tornado 2 weeks from now, and you complain about how many hurricanes they can forecast 6 months away ?? I’d rather see improvement in the very near term (minutes/hours) than months from now.
