WHITHER, GLOBAL WARMING?

|| By FITSNEWS || There’s another federal government shutdown in Washington, D.C. – except this one has nothing to do with “Republicans” and Democrats bickering at the margins of America’s imminent fiscal collapse.

This time the culprit is “Winter Storm Octavia” – which is blasting the American mid-Atlantic and northeast this week (in the aftermath of several previous storms and in advance of a wicked cold front).

Washington declared a “snow emergency” (snowmergency?) at 7:00 a.m. EST on Tuesday – closing federal offices for all non-essential employees (which brings us back to our original shutdown point: If they’re non-essential, they shouldn’t have jobs).  D.C. schools have also been closed and hundreds of flights in and out of the nation’s capital have been cancelled.

In fact our GOP columnist Taylor Brown is currently stuck at Reagan National airport (stay warm, girlfriend).

Up and down the east coast the inclement weather has economists recalling last year’s winter blasts … which sent the economy into a free fall.

Will it happen again?  And if so … what will the global warming Nazis say?

Global warming predicts extreme weather events such as this. Saying global warming is false because of a snow storm is like saying a global food shortage is false because IHOP is giving away free pancakes.

Global food shortage is false because we have plenty of food. There may be areas where famine is prevalent but the solution to the problem is simple – move your dumb ass to where the food is.

Saying that “climate change” is man made is both false and the height of hubris.

No one said climate change wasn’t occurring – just as it has throughout the existence of the world.

You didn’t start it, you cant stop it – nor would you want to because of the “law of unintended consequences”.

The Colonel: “Saying that “climate change” is man made is both false and the height of hubris.”

The problem, Colonel, is that the paleo record we have now reconstructed reasonably well shows that over the last 20 k years, CO_2 and temps have moved in tandem (go up or down) together. And man has made CO_2 higher….look up Mauna Loa record. Its an easy call that temps will go higher.

I expect such things out of Tango, not you.

The Colonel February 17, 2015 at 10:05 pm

My undergrad degree is in marine science. We can establish the exact location of ancient shorelines throughout history – no conjecture, the fossil record shows the locations within a mile or so. The record clearly shows that Earth’s shore lines have moved dramatically over time – at some periods in relatively short order and at other periods over eons. Climate change is a very real thing.

The issue is causation. Your reference to the Keelling Curve from the Mauna Loa data estrablishes one thing – temperature has increased with CO2 concentration – just as it has for at least 5 cycles with almost exactly the same rapid ascent in temp and CO2 – I’ll reference this chart from wiki of the Vostock Ice Core reconstruction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vostok_Petit_data.svg

I guess it was the dinosaur SUVs that caused the identical curve 140,000 years ago to the one occurring today? (identical in magnitude and elevation)

Krakatoa all by its lonesome self changed global air temperatures by three degrees C and surface seas temps by 2 degrees C for more than two years and yet – the Earth rapidly (over a ten year period) re-balanced itself.

Climate change is undoubtedly occurring – but you have nothing to do with it. If you want something else to really worry about (that you also can’t do anything about) worry about pole shifts, they occur far more frequently than Vostock cycles, we’re about due and they will have far greater effects on our delicate electronically controlled world.

Yeah, if we dropped nukes down the vents of all major active volcanoes we might alter the climate for 10 – 12 years, then the Earth would take over and begin to regulate itself again. Krakatoa’s eruption caused a 3 degree cooling for about 2 years and chaotic weather patterns for another 8 or so.

Do you not get that Sandhills Mall out in northeast Columbia was once “at the beach” – and it was only 16,000 years ago that the beach was 200 miles further east of where it is now?

The models also predict that the shit’s not going to hit the fan until about 150 years from now and at our present rate the Earth will not be fit for human life about 1000 years from now. Global warming does not predict Florida should be under water by now. Maybe a little education on the subject before you make ignorant comments would be helpful?

Miss Brown may think that her writings are educated and cutting-edge, but most twenty-somethings who graduated from college last year that have no relevant experience in the real world have the same outlook. I hope that Will is sleeping with her, because otherwise there is no other reason to cheapen this blog with the vapid musings of some political wannabe.

Neither do I consider the hysteria over man-made climate change to be worth that electricty. The world has gone through cycles of hot, cold, and everything in between, long before man learned how to seriously pollute the air or anything else. Volcanoes belch out more carbon and crap into the atmosphere than does man in any given year.

Man-made climate change is just another tax scam the Gore and Obama camps have come up with to further tax yhe little guy and keep the economy fucked up.
