Global cooling hits Al Gore's home

[bijou]

It was delightfully appropriate that, as large parts of Argentina were swept by severe blizzards last week, on a scale never experienced before, the city of Nashville, Tennessee, should have enjoyed the coolest July 21 in its history, breaking a record established in 1877. Appropriate, because Nashville is the home of Al Gore, the man who for 20 years has been predicting that we should all by now be in the grip of runaway global warming.

His predictions have proved so wildly wrong – along with those of the Met Office's £33 million computer model which forecast that we should now be enjoying a "barbecue summer" and that 2009 would be one of "the five warmest years ever" – that the propaganda machine has had to work overtime to maintain what is threatening to become the most expensive fiction in history.
 

The two official sources of satellite data on global temperatures, for instance, lately announced that June temperatures had again fallen, to their average level for the month over the 30 years since satellite data began. By contrast, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, run by Mr Gore's closest ally and scientific adviser, James Hansen – one of the two official sources of global temperature data from surface weather stations – announced that in that single month the world had warmed by a staggering 0.63 degrees C, more than its net warming for the entire 20th century.  ...

C'mon, people.  It's not about whether HE believes it--it's about how long he gets YOU to believe it.

All of these environweinies might get more respect if they actually practiced what they preach.  Never mind, they wouldn't , not when reality is proving them wrong on a daily basis.

But his son can.  Memo to Al Gore III--at 100mph, NO car is environmentally friendly.  And when your sister picks you up in a Maserati that averages 8mpg, kind screws over daddy's credibility, dontcha know.

No matter what happens, Algore can claim victory.  If the Earth warms up, he can say, "See?  I was right!"  If it cools down, he can say, "See?  I was right and I helped stop it by getting the word out!"

Is that sort of like the "saved jobs" that have resulted from the "Spendulous Bill"?

Top Gear did a mileage test with a Prius and an M3.  Funny stuff.

That doesn't even get into the battery disposal and the Hazardous Waste they create ?? I've always maintained that the Prius was a canard. Vehicles have become far more efficient since the 60s and if one sets up and tunes a vehicle for maximum horsepower, they will also obtain maximum efficiency. I got a whopping 22 MPG out of a 1969 Olds 350 Rocket engine that turned low 12s in the 1/4 mile. Of course, I kept the speed at 60. If I drive my truck at 60 mph, I can get as much as 22 MPG out of it.
