Can anyone take Al Gore seriously these days? We've had snow in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Malibu recently. And school has been cancelled here for the last 2 days because of the cold. Global warming crisis? Yeah, right.

They are calling it "Climate Change" these days. Wouldn't it be interesting if it now becomes the norm to have snow in those places every year? Al Gore did pay attention in his movie to weather anomalies. I believe he surmized that huricane Katrina, and other such powerful storms occurring more recently were a direct result of global warming.
Perhaps we should burn more fossil fuels? What do you think?
Part of the whole point of global warming is that the weather will change drastically and irregularly but often. Hockeybobby is right though that the term global warming is almost a bit outdated and misleading...
How about the record growth in the Polar Ice Cap this year ? The one that's supposed to melt and drown us all.
Here's something even funnier. School buses in Minneapolis running on bio-diesel were inoperable. The fuel turns into an immobile goo at 10 degrees F. It won't move in the fuel line.
From the National Snow and Ice Data Center:
As the sun set in the Arctic with the advent of autumn, seasonal ice growth was initially quite rapid, but slowed during early November. Average ice extent in December was well below average and very close to that measured in 2007. Heading into 2009, the Arctic sea ice cover is again young and thin; given this set-up, a continuation of well-below-average sea ice extent in 2009 is a near certainty.

I liked the video representation in this one ^^^ Thanks ES, very interesting.
Remember the difference between WEATHER and CLIMATE.
Climate changes are not carried out in a straight line; this cold 2-3 week weather spell means nothing in the long run.
Never had problems when I used an anti-gel additive.
Bio-D is 2 fold. The popular one uses old oil and crops, but....you can make fuel. Contrary to popular belief, fuel is not made from fossils. To make it, you grow algae and then process it. You can make 30,000 gallons on one acre whereas soybeans only produce a few hundred gallons per acre.
Also, as for GW....... when Russia went down, they took 5,000 weather stations offline. So today, they use 20,000 reporting stations vs 25,000 of yesteryears.And how many reporting stations did they use 50, 60, 70, 100+ years ago. As I said before, GW is just a power grab because they wouldn't be able to do it by other (legal) means.
Do what? Purposefuly cause massive fear and economic alterations for no realistic reason?Quote:

I know we have had a lot of economic "sky is falling" on this forum, but it's always in the future. Economics is human behavior and is so under reversible control of humans. Climate change and massive flooding is not reversible in any reasonable time-frame. What will happen if we choose not to ignore it, will people have to train for new work? What happened to their old work? New work, is that so bad?
The fact that it worries most of the experts causes me to think we should be prepared and do what we can to excerbate the problem, if at all reasonable.
The fact that a lot of conservatives choose to disbelieve, ignore, etc is only to their own personal benefit. What occurs is not subject to one's political affiliations, it is completely independent of one's beliefs. Just like a hurricane is.
There are still many experts who don't believe the hype.
Just look to the 60's/ 70's/ early 80's, it was Global Cooling. When the 'forecasts' didn't pan out, they went with GW. Just substitute GW with Ehrlich's 'Population Bomb' theology, and all you have is a bunch of crap. Profits of Doom....errr Prophets of Doom. ;)
