I am listening to story after story on NPR about how bad the winter weather is this year. But in between I hear some guy interviewed about global warming and what a problem it is. And he didn’t say climate change, he said global warming. I think that anyone currently in an insane asylum should be let out immediately and replaced with anyone who still believes in global warming.

Why are you listening to NPR instead of fox news?

1. ENVIRONMENT/TODAY: Global Warming Causing More Snow? Come Again? — FoxNews.com

Deadline: Feb 01, 2011 11:00 PM EST

Former Vice President Al Gore told Bill O’Reilly that: “A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.” We need comments from someone who can point out the ridiculousness of his argument, even if you accept the somewhat-implausible argument. I’ve been assigned this story just now by Fox News in New York for the science and technology desk. I’m looking for comments. Please send comments via e-mail. Please send your name, title and company you represent. Please send comments by 10 p.m. CST. Contact: Gene Koprowski, [redacted]

Gore's response to O'Reilly quoted that notable, world famous scientist and climate expert -- Clarence Page. ROTFLMOA!!!!!

Here's a real scientist and environmentalist:

His degree is in ecology.

Would you go to him to diagnose and treat cancer? I'm guessing the answer is "no", so why go to him for his views on climate?

Ecology is extraordinarily relevant. So is astrophysics. Most astrophysists think that the global warming hyperbole is a bunch of hooey.

Do you think that most "climatologists" have a degree in "climatology"? Until a few years ago, there was no such degree. People who call themselves "climatologists" may have degrees in geology, ecology / environmental science, meteorology, or just about anything else.

Patrick Moore has one of those degrees and has spent a lifetime fighting for environment issues. Oh, but he disagrees with cultural leftists who have no education or background in science, like Al Gore, so he needs to be dismissed.

No dice. Patrick Moore is the one of the most credible people on this issue today.

Really?

Monster snowstorms still spell global warming

The article you posted said:

There is no single smoking gun that can point us to the origin of these monster snowstorms.

Global warming is controversial, of course, but the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it.

I agree completely with that.

So what's your point?

I'm glad you agree that the folks who claim that big snowstorms disprove global warming are wrong.

And I agree as well that the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it. I'm glad as well that we agree that the planet is indeed warming.

Now, if you can come up with something else that explains the warming other than rising CO2 from human activity, you'll end the controversy. The problem is that there isn't any reason. So the controversy comes from those who accept the science and those who claim it's all a conspiracy, or promote other views (e.g. it's the sun) that have no basis in fact.

Generally, the planet has been warming since the last glacial period 12,500 years go. During the last 12,500 years, we had a short (200 year) cooling period, but it started warming again around 1800.

SUVs did not cause this. I'm pretty sure that they weren't even invented then.

Over the last 10 years, it's generally been cooling again. But we are still in a warming cycle.

Cooling would be much worse than warming to humans because of the food supply.

Something I just learned -- there is only 10% of the bio-diversity at the 45th parallel than there is at the equator. Life on earth really likes hot weather.

True it has been warming, but warming has rapidly accelerated since the early 1970's as a result of increasing atmospheric CO2. Note that solar activity counter-corresponds to warming - solar activity has decreased since the early 1970's. The only explanation now that withstands scrutiny is rising CO2. And isotope testing confirms that the CO2 is coming from human activity.

This is at this point irrefutable.

Yes, life likes hotter weather, but life isn't going to like the rapid transition unlike anything we've seen before.
