HOUSE HEARING ON 'WARMING OF THE PLANET' CANCELED AFTER ICE STORM

I've not bothered to examine Mr. Larkin's prior posts,
but would bet he has lots of hillbilly sarcasms about
warm weather: "Ooooh ... proves global warning dudn't it?"

Careful controlled wholesale measurements are more
relevant than yesterday's 15-second weather soundbite.
Is that hard to understand, John?

Well, seems to me like every hot spell lately has been blamed on GW,
touche. I only hope it snows in Hollywood on Oscar day.


And, while of course it would be absurd to claim
that global warming "caused" this week's ice storm,
increases in available energy and altered wind
and current patterns can have counterintuitive effects.

That's why tha alarmists have switched to calling it "climate change",
so they can hedge their bets. We used to call it "weather."


BTW, the rosy predictions of lush rainforests in the tropics
and a rich breadbasket in near-Arctic are not borne out
by predictive models. And even optimistic scenarios
imply profound political and economic disruptions during
coming generations that will far outweigh what clowns like
Larkin are trying to "save" ... which is what exactly? ... the
American dream of driving an SUV to Starbucks?

What's interesting is that all the gw/cc models I've seen predict a
uniformly bad set of consequences... flooding, famine, disease,
extinctions, storms, drought, plagues of locusts. Wouldn't you think
that climate change would have about as many good effects as bad?
Actually, no, because climate change is posited to be man-made, and
the current fad is to assume that all human effects are unnatural
hence evil.

A headline is a terrible thing to waste.


But keep your clever comments coming, John.

No, no, it's your turn.

Have you applied for the National Science Advisor
job yet?

I'm just a circuit designer, so wouldn't qualify. The pay is better,
anyhow.
