IT'S JUST A HEAT WAVE
By Alan Caruba
END OF THE ROAD FOR THE THEORY OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING: AN IMPORTANT FINDING THAT CERN WILL
SOON ANNOUNCE: MORE COSMIC RAYS CREATE MORE CLOUDS IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE, & MORE CLOUDS
CAUSE LESS OF THE SUN'S WARMTH TO REACH THE EARTH'S SURFACE, THEREBY RESULTING IN THE PLANET ENTERING A
COOLING PHASE. SIGNIFICANCE: TOTAL REFUTATION OF THE PROPAGANDA THAT
ENVIRONMENTALISTS & CLIMATE ALARMISTS HAVE BEEN CHURNING OUT FOR DECADES -- THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY FRANTICALLY ISSUING NEW RULES & REGULATIONS TO REDUCE THE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
FROM UTILITIES & MANUFACTURING FACILITIES BEFORE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC REALIZES THAT EPA'S ACTUAL GOAL IS
TO KILL THE U.S. ECONOMY BY INCREASING THE COST OF ELECTRICITY & EVERYTHING ELSE -- THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE MINING OF COAL & STOP ANY DRILLING FOR OIL
FULL STORY:
The most surprising thing about the current heat wave affecting much of the United States is that no global warming
charlatan is claiming that it is the result of carbon dioxide emissions. Since the late 1980s, Americans were assailed
with the global warming hoax, until, in November, 2009, the release of emails between the trolls ginning up false “climate
models” were exposed.
These days the term “climate change” is used as a substitute for “global warming,” but fewer of us are fooled by this. Al
Gore is planning a last-ditch effort in September, 2011, to revive the hoax, but that will fail.
Even those in the mainstream media are too embarrassed to report the absurd notion that CO2, a trace gas in the Earth’s
atmosphere (0.0380%) vital to all vegetation on the planet, has anything to do with climate cycles. A new cooling cycle
that kicked in around 1998 is the predictable result of less solar activity.
This is not to say it’s not hot. Heat waves are as common to Summer months as blizzards are to Winter months. For
those who possess the memory of fungus, there was a heat wave that engulfed the East Coast from July 4-9 in 2010.
Weather records reflect that heat waves are a natural event, often following or preceding record setting cold waves.
While Al Gore and the last holdouts of the global warming hoax continue to tell us that CO2 emissions (the use of fossil
fuels for energy to produce electricity, drive anywhere, and manufacture anything) will destroy the world, the world’s
most sophisticated particle study laboratory, CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, will soon announce a finding that will blow
the CO2 nonsense to bits.
Dennis T. Avery of the Hudson Institute, reports CERN has demonstrated “that more cosmic rays do, indeed, create
more clouds in the earth’s atmosphere.” Cosmic rays are subatomic particles from outer space. More clouds means that
less of the sun’s warmth reaches the earth’s surface.
This completely overturns the torrent of lies that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been
churning out for decades. The IPCC’s scientists went into full panic mood as a new cooling cycle asserted itself in 1998.
As Avery points out, the IPCC scientists had deliberately ignored “the Medieval Warming (950-1200 AD), the Roman
Warming (200 BC-600BC), or the big Holocene Warmings centered on 6,000 and 8,000 BC.” There was also a Little Ice
Age from 1300 to 1850 to account for as well.
While the global warming crowd has been telling everyone that they must stop burning coal, using oil or natural gas,
and “reduce our carbon footprint,” a recent volcanic eruption in Iceland, in just four days, negated every
government-mandated effort to control or reduce CO2 emissions worldwide for the past five years! When Mt. Pinatubo
erupted in 1991, it put so much smoke and other gases in the atmosphere that it cooled the Earth’s temperatures for a
few years until they dissipated.
Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency is frantically issuing new rules and regulations to reduce the CO2
emissions from utilities and manufacturing facilities before the public realizes that its actual goal is to kill the U.S.
economy by increasing the cost of electricity and everything else. It is insanely trying to shut down the mining of coal,
while other elements of the Obama regime are trying to stop any drilling for oil.
Unable to scare everyone with the global warming hoax, new horrors are being invented, from ocean acidification to the
claim that the atmosphere is being overloaded with nitrogen. Relax, there’s four times more nitrogen in the atmosphere
than oxygen, and it’s no big deal.
The Greens think you’re stupid.
Americans need to be aware that major environmentalist organizations, such as the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth,
are desperate to maintain the fictions required to deprive the U.S.A. of the energy it needs to function.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg just gave $50 million to the Sierra Club to support its “Beyond Coal” campaign.
Bloomberg actually thinks it’s a good thing the Sierra Club has managed to stop 150 coal-burning plants from being
built. Meanwhile, during the current heat wave, providers of electricity are worrying whether they can continue to meet
the increased demand for it. Coal provides 50% of all the electricity we use in America.
How stupid or evil do you have to be to stop building the plants that provide electricity at a time when the population
and the demand for it is rising? Must America become a third world nation with rolling blackouts and brownouts?
Environmentalists in the Friends of the Earth organization are in a panic that Republicans might actually get the U.S.
government to cut back on the insane spending that has put the nation on the edge of sovereign default. Lately they’re
claiming that Majority Leader, Eric Candor (Republican - Virginia) “is threatening to sink the American economy and
undermine environmental protections so that his wealthy friends, including big oil corporations, can keep sitting on
their cushions.”
That’s the same Big Oil that hasn’t been able to build a single new refinery in the U.S.A. since the 1970s. That’s the
same Big Oil that has seen ten oil rigs leave the Gulf of Mexico since the May, 2010, Obama “moratorium” for drilling
sites in Egypt, Congo, French Guiana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Brazil. They took a lot of jobs and revenue with them,
If you wanted to destroy America, all you have to do is make it impossible to access several century’s worth of its own
huge reserves of coal and the billions of barrels of oil inland and offshore that would, indeed, make America more
energy independent.
The next time anyone speaks about “sustainability,” they are talking about turning out the lights and emptying the
highways of America. The next time anyone talks about “the environment,” they mean the same thing.
So, remember, it’s just a heat wave. It will end just like all the others, and, in a few months, we will all be talking about
the blizzards.
