My post about global warming was meant as satire. I wanted to use a little comedy to point out that the earth has only risen in temperature by 0.8 of a degree in the last century. But a recent article by an MIT professor not only agrees with my article, it also debunks the fears proposed by Al Gore.
Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology, had this to say:
"A warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the one we have now. Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate. There is no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way, according to scientists at the U.S. National Hurricane Center, the World Meteorological Organization and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (which released the second part of this year's report earlier this month). Indeed, meteorological theory holds that, outside the tropics, weather in a warming world should be less variable, which might be a good thing."
Climate modelers assume the cause must be greenhouse-gas emissions because they have no other explanation. This is a poor substitute for evidence, and simulation hardly constitutes explanation. Ten years ago climate modelers also couldn't account for the warming that occurred from about 1050 to 1300. They tried to expunge the medieval warm period from the observational record—an effort that is now generally discredited."
Check out this great article!
It just goes to show that I am smarter when I am being silly than Gore is when he is being serious!

Heat rises. That is why you are supposed to crawl in case of a fire. I hope America has the courage to stand in the event of a phony fire alarm and have a less bullied and abecedarian approach to our environment.
