Cooling Equals Warming

snowstorm Yes, the global warming alarmists are offering the finest in logic here. AP writer Seth Borenstein offers up the latest gem in a story today:

"Ironically, 2008 is on pace to be a slightly cooler year in a steadily rising temperature trend line. Experts say it's thanks to a La Nina weather variation. While skeptics are already using it as evidence of some kind of cooling trend, it actually illustrates how fast the world is warming."

Someone must have missed the point where temperatures have been on the decline since 1998, when we peaked. If in the limited time we've been analyzing temperature data with any degree of accuracy is any indication, then ten years is definitely a trend.

Not only is 2008 cooler, but it is the coolest year since 1998. Going on a cooling trend doesn't illustrate the world is warming, but that it is...wait for it...COOLING!

They'll simply dodge the issue at hand saying things are being taken out of context etc...and that there is a consensus of scientists who have proved this and that we are simply believing the oil company propaganda or something similar. Using facts do nothing for the argument, as the only facts that count are those that help with the other side of the argument.

You can claim to save the earth by cutting back and living a green lifestyle because you genuinely care. You can also do the green lifestyle because it is a cash cow right now. Don't however tell us that the cooler weather somehow proves that global warming exists in an insult to our intelligence because the logic being used is too complicated for our simple peasant minds.

Global warming is only about two things now: Money and control. Not only is it extremely profitable to jump on the green bandwagon, but is also allows those involved to exert control on the rest of us. Watch - as soon as those involved realize that people are turning away from the sham purported will then somehow claim how by taking action early under their direction, we have stopped global warming - but we were a bit too zealous and have started a cooling process. To remedy this, we can do X, X, and X to get us back on the right track.

Control, money and an insult to the intelligence of millions upon millons of people.

quoted from Neowin member, "If there were a rise in overall global temperatures, eventually the ice in the arctic zones would begin to melt. When the ice melts it takes the form of cold water, and would then flow to the south. With enough ice melting you would end up with a substantial amount of cold water flowing down toward Europe. This has the potential to alter the current ocean currents slightly (those currents have been described as a "conveyor belt that goes around the world") but more importantly it would drastically reduce temperatures along Europe. The most extreme prediction is that it would put Europe into a localized ice age. I would expect that the rest of the world would be somewhat cooled as the water spread, but Europe would get the most extreme alterations.

That's the theory behind global cooling, and the irony is that global warming is still behind it. Whether it's a frozen Europe or a world of incredibly high temperatures we would like to avoid that."
