2008 Coolest on Record

From Guardian UK:

"This year is set to be the coolest since 2000, according to a preliminary estimate of global average temperature that is due to be released next week by the Met Office...The relatively chilly temperatures compared with recent years are not evidence that global warming is slowing however, say climate scientists at the Met Office. "Absolutely not," said Dr Peter Stott, the manager of understanding and attributing climate change at the Met Office's Hadley Centre. "If we are going to understand climate change we need to look at long-term trends."

Really? Then why is it that the Church of Climate Change predicts the apocolypse from GW after every heat wave, hurricane or case of athletes foot? High Priest AlGore never misses a chance to blame all unusual weather events as prima facie evidence of man's destruction of the planet.

This is a naked power grab disguised as science. Anyone who can't or wont see that is either a liar or a fool.

Mc'Cain Losers Blame Palin?

The one bright spot in Mc'Cain's failed candidacy was Sarah Palin. The mere fact that she drove the left nuts told me that she was a good pick. As the saying goes: "When you're catching flak, then you're over the target. She was also the only energizing factor in an otherwise lackluster repeat of Dole 96' .But the Democrat Light Republicans that populated the Mc'Cain campaign are finished with her and want to make sure she never comes back.

Palin headed home Wednesday to Alaska amid new reports of
sniping from anonymous McCain aides, mulling her own future unencumbered by her supporting role on the presidential ticket.
In an interview with CNN, Palin insisted there's no animosity from her toward Team McCain, despite media reports citing its staffers calling her a "diva" and a "wack job."

She was chosen specifically to bring back a Republican base that saw Mc'Cain as a grandstanding gadfly who relished sticking his thumb in their eyes. Palin was the only thing that kept Mc'Cain from being completely crushed as many Republicans came out and voted for him only because she was on the ticket.

Palin made conservatives temporarily forget the betrayals of Campaign Finance Reform (which Obama used to burn him), Immigration (amnesty) Reform, his opposition to Bush's tax cuts etc. And in the end his Democrat and media "friends" hung Bush around his neck. He was the Democrat's and the media's favorite (weakest) nominee and they kissed his ass until they could kick it. The ironies abound.

And now they blame her for giving them a fighting chance? I'm not happy Obama won but this tells me Mc'Cain was and is his own worst enemy.

Climate Predictions Wrong Again

While statists push for more power over our lives based on dubious long term climate predictions, the supposed experts can't even predict weather beyond a couple of months.

"ScienceDaily (Oct. 11, 2007) — NOAA forecasters are calling for
above-average temperatures over most of the country and a continuation of
drier-than-average conditions across already drought-stricken parts of the
Southwest and Southeast in its winter outlook for the United States"

With all their degrees, taxpayer funded equipment and salaries, the NOAA was no more reliable than the Farmers Almanac.

Turns out both were hilariously wrong.

"The U.S. winter of 2007-08 — which meteorologists classify as the months of December, January and February — will go down as the coldest since the winter of 2000-01, with a national average temperature of 33.2 degrees, NOAA reported Thursday."

But we're going to rearrange the world's economy and reduce liberty based on 20-100 year predictions of a climate that has millions of variables that we can barely understand, much less forecast or control. This will go down as the most expensive and deadly hoax in human history.
