Freeze dried global warming, now there's a concept. If I buy it can I count it toward my carbon credits?

Blog: Science Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling
Michael Asher (Blog) - February 26, 2008 12:55 PM
World Temperatures according to the Hadley Center for Climate Prediction. Note the steep drop over the last year.
Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on. No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.
Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.
Let's hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.
Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

don't let this get too well known. gore will want to take credit. but wait maybe that is why his 20 room, 8 bath with guest room mansion in TN. uses 20 times the energy of the average home. maybe he is just trying to offset the effects of his war on global warming. that al gore. he is a sly one! that dimwit g w bush is living in the past as he has a house in TX that is clean and green useing 1/4 of the energy of the average home. damn that bush.

Far from a weather expert here but I done a little looking around on various weather websites when all this global warming deal started and from what I see Al Gore and his lackies are about a 100 or so years off.
What I found is most record highs and lows, heat waves, cold waves, droughts, and excess moisture records happened in the late 1800's to the mid-1900's.
I guess this can't just be a normal cycle of nature happening again like a 100 or so years ago??????

*14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
*7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
*6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
*Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
*2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
*15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
*19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb forum
*11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
*36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
*5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs
*15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs

*4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
*13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
*5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
*4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
*13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
*1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that George W. isn't the brightest bulb.
*4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.
*1 moderator to lock (or remove) the light bulb thread.
*1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Yeah, I don't get the compact fluorescent movement either. Have you ever looked at the recommended procedure to follow if you break one of those lights, so that you don't poison yourself trying to clean it up? It's insane. And you can't throw them away, although everyone does.
Same feelings I have about many of the hybrid cars. Great concept, but what are we going to do with the batteries, geniuses?

So the other day, I was buying fruit at the grocery store for my roller derby league, and I was using the cutest little reusable grocery bags that I carry with me all the time. So I handed the bags to the bagger kid and he bagged my groceries, and then he THREW AWAY the plastic bag he'd had in his hands before I handed him my reusable bags, and I thought to myself "Man, this tree hugging thing would be a lot easier if there weren't so many stupid people in the world."
The moral of the story is that my next roller derby bout is April 26th in Des Moines, Iowa and I have to pick between watching the WoO at Knoxville or slamming myself into hot half-naked women on wheels.
What's a girl to do?

The team we are up against is called the Mid Iowa Roller Girls and the bout location is listed as "Skate South" but this is our first bout against them so I couldn't tell you anything about them or the rink.

the liberal mantras are all about "FEELING" like you are doing something to counteract the next vestage of white guilt.
if Al Gore was so serious about CARBON CREDITS...how do I CASH IN on last year when the MEASURED COOLING was .6 Celsius when my opinion was REPUDIATED by Gore when the MEASURED RISE was a mere .1 degree?
the sky is falling all right...but not on the folks that have been blamed for it by pop culture.
example - Sharon Stoned got an endorsement this week when she attacked the Bush Admin., guess who found common ground with this lefty?
quack scientists need to stick with inventing the macarena...its funnier and has less environmental impact!

Sounds like an easy choice. Probably be much more passing at the roller derby than the WoO race. LOL

Here in Fargo,ND, if we have just an average remainder of the winter, it will go down as the 2nd or 3rd coldest in history. Only one day above 32 degrees since November 13. Only about 24 inches of snow though.
Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

This crazy talk...the sun warming the earth, how can that be.....
Its my understanding (not fact, just something I heard): incandescent bulbs - made in the USA, fluorescent - are not made in the USA. Ignoring the waste from the fluorescent versus incandescent, it takes more energy to make a fluorescent bulb than an incandescent.
Trees, forest: the politicians and "smart" people can't see either, to busy looking in the mirror patting themselves on the back.

And the big question is-drumroll please.........................
Who is making a lot of money induced from the fear created by (insert concern here)?
Y2K, the war on terror, global warming, roller derby. The neocons are a combination of everybodys chosen sides, but with an interest to make money, and of course power.
By the way, from 1946 to 1979 there was a cooling trend that set off the ideer that we were upon the ice age. Of course it's a cycle.................But we do need to keep the lessons learned from trying to be more green friendly.
Now i will go out and fire up my 396 Chevy.
