Interesting piece of misinformation. It was only 15 years ago
that people started scheduling conferences in St. Paul, Minn
during the first two weeks of March.
Remember, Global Warming can change times the used to might
have been TEN below up to zero; situcations that would have
been zero up to TEN above.
What kind of science is that? Temperatures can be "raised by 10-20* due to global warming is something I can grasp. But temperatures being lowered by that same amount doesn't compute. Here in KY, in two consecutive years we had one of the coldest summers on record, followed by one of the hottest on record. I hear a lot about "global warming" supposedly associated with this phenenom but little about "global cooling". It would appear that one is just as likely as the other, to this layman. And BTW, it was reported today that Mars was experiencing the same phenomenom of "global warming" with the CO
2 polar ice caps melting there? That was during the same news hour that reported on the St. Paul conference being cancelled, BTW.
Uh, has anyone checked to see what the mean surface temperature of the sun, and the amount of infra-red radiation emitted, has been for the last few years compared to previous years?
Or is that too much like "actual scientific analysis" to suit the modern PC quasi-science crowd, like the celebrity crowd? Further, what is the standard for what is "normal"? How do we know the optimum surface temperature of the earth would not be two degrees 'cooler' or two degrees 'warmer'. There is all kinds of evidence that the earth has been both much cooler than today, and also much warmer. I just don't approve of "junk science", nor do I think that Science should be any sacred cow. In fact, I believe the Scriptures speak of "science falsely so-called", if my memory is not failing. It ain't, so far, anyhow!
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. (I Tim. 6:19-20 - KJV)
