The cold, hard facts about global warmists

COMMENT: Here are some intelligent questions to ask of anyone who tells you we're on the bridge of environmental catastrophe.

Hardly a day passes when some weather event prompts a warning about the dangers of global warming. Or another characterization of those who doubt its existence as deniers or ignorati. And this is accepted by most people with unquestioned acceptance, even though the global warmists of East Anglia have been hacked explaining how to discredit the deniers or keep them out of the media.

What do the global warmists think or know? Anything about the oscillations, their cause and effect? The interaction between the solar wind and the weather? The effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas in conjunction with varying percentages of water vapor? The cause or effect of the jet streams? And as for controlling the weather, forget it.
The perception of weather events depends on the age of the viewer. My grandmother never saw a snowflake without talking about the Blizzard of 1888. I never hear of a drought without remembering the drought in Delaware in which weekly church services prayed for rain, or a cold snap when it was so cold on the midnight shift that the steam tracers froze up.
The Wall Street Journal recently commented on orange juice futures, noting that last year's crop was impacted by the coldest December in Florida's history. The Citrus Belt is not moving northward; it is moving southward, if at all. The canola crop in western Canada was threatened this past spring by unseasonably cold weather.
Questioning the thawing of the Arctic Ocean, I emailed Prudhoe Bay asking what the shipping season is, and they said six weeks. The Hudson Bay -- alleged by the Wall Street Journal to be a future year-round outlet for grain -- elicits the response from Churchill, Canada, that the shipping season is from the end of July to the middle of November With the advent of the Internet, there is no excuse for blind acceptance of the views of so-called experts, politicians and the media.
The experts -- discussing economics, war, climate or investment -- have got to be considered logically. Otherwise, the new advantages in communication will prove to be a detriment to logic and science, instead of an advance.
