[SBE] Dry Snow

[Adrienne Abbott]

No, we can't say there's any such thing as Global Warming because you have
to ask: warming compared to what? We've only got about 30 or so years of
reliable weather statistics and information. 30 years is a drop in the
geological time bucket.  Prior to the launch of weather satellites in the
early '70's, we didn't know about every hurricane that rolled off the Cape
Verde coast, and whether they hooked a right and went out to sea or took aim
at the Gulf or the US coast. We have no way to compare the number of
hurricanes in 2007 with the number of hurricanes in 1907 or any other year
prior to the early 70's. And was Global Warming responsible for storms like
Camille or the Hurricane of 1900 that destroyed Galveston and killed 6000
people? If so, what was going on in the world that caused it? Cow
flatulence? Did you know that there was an "El Nino" effect in the Atlantic
in the 1880's? It led to a series of cold snowy winters in Northern Europe
that were so unusual that the leading artists of the day--folks like Van
Gogh and Renoir--packed up their paints and brushes and headed for the
countryside every winter. The works they produced are known as "effect de
neige". The Industrial Revolution was well under way at the time but you
won't find any mention of Global Warming in the newspapers of the day. I
can't believe that the folks who kept track of temperatures in the 20's and
30's were anywhere as accurate as what we have today. What kind of
thermometers did they use? How were they calibrated and where were they
kept? Now the NWS has a long list of things you are supposed to do to get
the most accurate readings from your outdoor thermometer like putting it on
a 10-meter pole that's in the shade. I can't believe that's how they did it
50 years ago. OMG, they used thermometers with mercury and they probably
didn't call in the guys in moon suits to clean it up when the thermometer
broke. Don't get me started on this...I've lived more than 20 years without
an oven and I raised two kids without a clothes dryer. How many "carbon
credits" do you think Al Gore is going to give me for that?

I dont know Vegas that well, but if the mountain you are referring to is the
distant peak you see when driving North from Henderson to Vegas, then that
snow was quite visible to the naked eye, and seemed to me to be more snow
than I recall seeing 5 years ago when I made the same daily drive.   
 
Global warming my ass.  These guys need to be sued for fraud.  We have now
been told, in each of the past two years, that we would have record
hurricane seasons because of GW.  And what did we have,,hurricane seasons
that were LESS active than the period prior to Katrina.
 
My favorite indicator that GW is a big hoax to level the playing field of
the world economy by driving the USA into bankruptcy occurs on a weekly
basis.  Have you noticed how many 'extinct' or new species are being found
each week.  They always note how such and such has not been seen for 100
years.  But, because global warming is ruining its habitat, now the poor
little critter is having to find a new home and that's why we stumbled
across it.  Well gee Mr. Science guy, I guess that means it was not extinct
after all!!!  So one or both of two things happened, natural cycles are
causing the reappearance of some species, in which GW is just that, a
natural cycle, or, more likely, the scientists were wrong,,,the creature was
not extinct and we had not ruined its habitat in the first place.  If they
can miss the existence of a creature for 100 years, how can we trust them to
be any more accurate on other natural science questions such as GW?
 
Today brings us the little jewel that this past winter was, on avg., cooler
than any winter since 2001...but, drum roll please, they had to say it was
still warmer than avg. because of global warming.  Yeah, let me see, its
cooler, but its warmer.  As my high school honors history teacher
said,,,figures don't lie, but liars figure.  There is no global warming.
Sue Al Gore as the founder of the Weather Channel has proposed.  This is why
our economy is nuts, not Iraq.
Now let me go mash some corn and waste 1000 gallons of water so I can make a
gallon of bio fuel.  We aint planting any more wheat, and the corn in my
fields is not for you to eat.  Going green is only green for those who get
the green of going green while the world's bread basket shrivels.   Be sure
you don't step in the run off from Al's zinc mines when you visit Tennessee.
