Gore effect comes to Harvard University
“In Cambridge, the warmest October 22nd occurred in 1979 when the temperature climbed to 83 °F. Well, it doesn’t look like what they see today. Even the average high temperature for this day is 60 °F which is still far too high. After the noon, the temperature in Cambridge is 44.5 °F. Tonight, it is predicted to drop to 34 °F, close to the record low of 28 °F measured in 1940.”

Cyclists stop in Utica promoting climate change
(‘climate change’ is the new term for ‘man-made global warming’)
“Student volunteers from colleges around New York State braved freezing cold temperatures on their bikes Wednesday to send a message to state and federal political candidates: pay attention to climate change.”

The carbon cash-in
“Essential surveillance kit for the new green police: the Energy Saving Partnership has taken out a patent on Heatseekers, thermo-imaging vehicles which, at full potential, have the capacity to identify 1,000 properties an hour, or 5,000 properties a night, that are leaking carbon. “Once the property has been scanned, a dedicated team of energy advisers will visit householders to show them the thermal image scan of their homes,” says Inspector Knock-on-the-Door. That’ll go down well after midnight.”

I heard that congress wants to sell carbon credits to big business to earn some capital.  Sounds like a way for the Democratic congress to use climate change to earn a little money.  Perhaps they could also sell sun spot relief when the sun becomes more active again.

Great idea JC
bet the communications industry that put billions of dollars into that hardware floatin around above our heads will love you to death for it…

This legislation will screw up British economy for a long time and for the worst of all reasons, nothing.

Snow blankets London for Global Warming debate

“Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time, in a marathon six hour session.”

Record snow storm triggers delays
“...According to MeteoNews, the Swiss lowlands received the most snow for any October since records began. Zurich received 20cm, beating a record of 14cm set in 1939.”

Record cold swept over the region Wednesday
“...It was a record for Oct. 29 and the second lowest temperature ever recorded in October since 1850. Ocala’s official weather site is at the city water treatment plant on Southeast 24th Street.
Until Wednesday, Oct. 29’s record temperature was 37 in 1943 and a close second was 38 degrees in 1957.”

I wonder how the Arctic was warmed up in the early 1900s when Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen sailed the Northwest Passage?

And another quandary discovered, fixing the ozone layer will make man-made global warming worse. Oh, what to do?

Oh, what to do?

That’s right K. Glad to see that your agreeing with the data for a change and not fighting against overwhelming conclusions.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.  The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” —Joseph Goebbels

Jim, you’ve never understood sarcasm, have you?

Absolutely your right on track for a change. The neo-cons and Bush administration banner actions are summed up totally by their hero Joseph Goebbels. A decade has been lost through intentional lies.

Since this thread is about man-made global warming, Jim, try and stick to the subject.
