The Science of Global Cooling

In my other articles on so-called man-made global warming I’ve focused my criticism of global warming mainly on the political and financial motivations behind the global warming alarmists. In this article I turn my attention to the science of global warming, which can now be more accurately called the science of global cooling, since that is actually what has been happening for the last decade, and is likely to continue to happen for several years.

I actually feel kind of silly writing this article, as it should be obvious to everyone that global warming is a bust, based on a very cold last winter, and a winter right now that is likely to be the coldest in 100 years (see below for more on that). But I am compelled to write because, amazingly, there are still people in the world who believe (or at least want you to believe) that global warming is a serious problem demanding drastic and draconian preventative and corrective measures.

Harry Reid is Pro-Slavery

Nevada Democrat and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently compared health care reform opponents to people who opposed the abolition of slavery. Reid said:
Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, “slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.” If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said “slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.”

What’s Affordable about H.R. 3962?

After the passage of the “Affordable Health Care for America Act” (H.R. 3962), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi made a statement that is illustrative of a chronic disregard of truth and a perpetual propensity for propaganda. Pelosi said that “Democrats voted for the bill and a Republican voted for the bill. That equals bipartisan” (www.cnn.com).
Really? A single Republican votes for a bill and that makes it “bipartisan”? We are all supposed to ignore the tremendous gulf between Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative, and feel good about the bill because a single Republican voted for it? If Pelosi had her way she’d probably call it the “Bipartisan Affordable Health Care for America Act”. Why not add another lie to the already misleading bill title?
