Extreme Frigid & Brutal Winter Weather On The Way.Gore&Kerry Have Some "Esplaining" To Do.

[Rexx Taylor]

Yes,! Once again it's that time of the winter when millions will be sending their Al Gore jokes onto the web. The winter forecast for at least the next week or longer will surely have Al Gore,John Kerry and Obama in a state of "Oops". And would anyone like to take a few guesses where Al Gore is? Florida? Bahamas? St. John? And to think Obama is very adamant about Global Warming! And remember when John Kerry said that Global Warming is a fact of life, END OF ARGUMENT! Now who will look like a complete buffoon over the next four to eight weeks as "The Experts" have given us a pretty accurate and Extremely Cold Forecast for the rest of the winter.

When leftist warmies talk of "the science being in, case closed," they speak in fear of the truth. They speak from a position of weakness and fear. They're intransigent, absolutely unyielding, but they're chimera has shredded into the wind and the American people know that, since "global warming" ranks second from the bottom of issues this country is concerned with, and no one believes their bullshit anymore anyway.

It's about oil, not the temperature of the planet's atmosphere, nor anything else that matters. Look at the poor useful idiot "Old Rocks," who trumpets about this forum as an ambassador of gloom, a real warmie expert incarnate. Earlier this week I had to explain to the moron what CO2 was (carbon dioxide), and what its place is in the scheme of things that affect the atmosphere. The dumbass didn't have a clue. There's a warmie "expert" for you.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

and has anyone heard from Al Gore yet? what? Cat got his tounge?

 

[TheOldSchool]

A few days ago the GOP majority senate voted 98-1 that climate change was real. Are you, Rexx Taylor, saying they're wrong?

 

[Rexx Taylor]

the climate has been changing ever since the dinasours! but i am still waiting for the sea levels to rise and flood new york, then I will believe it.

HA you said the climate has changed since the time of the dinosaurs!!! Congratulations my man. The first step is admitting you have a problem

 

[Rexx Taylor]

but the left is making it sound as if it is the end of the world. no two/three consectutive years are ever the same. but i am focusing more on the "Global Warming". where the USA would get hit by 5 or 6 major hurricanes a year, and both north/south pole melting to the point where as florida and los angleles will be under water.

It would pay you to read a little closer....CLIMATE CHANGE is not a hoax. Claiming HUMAN CAUSED climate change IS A HOAX. Where do you idiots think the glacier that covered half of North American went 25,000 years ago...CLIMATE CHANGE.

Senate Says Climate Change Real, But Not Really Our Fault

Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., was the only senator to vote against an amendment calling climate change "real and not a hoax."

J. Scott Applewhite/AP
Breathtakingly broad as its jurisdiction may be, the U.S. Senate does not usually vote on the validity of scientific theories.

This week, it did. And science won. The Senate voted that climate change is real, and not a hoax. The vote was 98-1.

The vote was about an amendment to the bill approving the Keystone XL pipeline. The near-unanimity of the climate change judgment was notable, because so many senators have cast doubt on ideas of "global warming."

Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, a former mayor of Tulsa and longtime friend to the oil industry, even has a book out entitled The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future. But, to the surprise of many, Inhofe actually voted for the "not a hoax" amendment offered by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island.

Of course, Inhofe could do that and then vote against another, later amendment attributing climate change to human activity. (Relax, Tulsa: Sen. Inhofe has not changed his stripes.)

"The hoax is that there are some people who are so arrogant [as] to think they are so powerful that they can change climate," Inhofe said in a speech on the Senate floor. "Man cannot change climate."

As it turned out, the only vote against the "real and not a hoax" language was cast by Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Wicker's is not a major energy-producing state, but Wicker could have been thinking of a gusher of another kind.

According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, oil and gas interests in the most recent election cycle (2013-14) gave about $56 million to the campaigns of parties, candidates and outside interest groups. The overwhelming preponderance of this money went to Republicans and outside interest groups favoring Republicans.

As the brand-new chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Wicker might not have wanted to offend the oil and gas people in his first month on the job.

While Wicker stood alone against the mere admission of climate change, he had lots more company in his party when he voted against an amendment that recognized some human contribution to the problem. On this amendment, Wicker and Inhofe were joined by three dozen other Republicans in rejecting any attribution of human responsibility — even one that was gently alleged in compromise language offered by Republican Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota.

Hoeven's amendment managed to clear the 60-vote threshold for approval because the Democrats voted for it and because there were 15 Republicans willing to say that, yes, people are contributing to climate change. The 15 included Rand Paul of Kentucky, a 2016 prospective presidential candidate, and also John McCain of Arizona, the GOP's 2008 nominee.

Other major committee chairs backing the Hoeven language were Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, both of Tennessee, Orrin Hatch of Utah and yes, even Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, one of the great energy-producing wonder states.

They were joined by GOP colleagues Rob Portman of Ohio, Dean Heller of Nevada, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Mark Kirk of Illinois.

Most of these 15 represent states that are net consumers rather than producers of energy. And five of them are facing re-election next year in states that have been voting Democratic lately in presidential years: Portman, Toomey, Collins, Ayotte and Kirk.

Five of the 15 who were willing to acknowledge some human contribution were also willing to say that human activity "significantly" contributed to climate change. This stronger language, offered by Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii, failed the 60-vote threshold. But this hard core of five Republicans were willing to endorse it, including two New Englanders (Collins and Ayotte), Kirk from deep blue Illinois and sometime mavericks Graham and Alexander.

Perhaps only Kirk and Ayotte of this group have any real political worries in 2016. But the presence of even a few GOP apostates on any issue so close to the heart of the party's ethos and fundraising base was enough to give satisfaction — grim or otherwise — to some on the other side of the aisle.

Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont, a left-leaning independent, was swift to predict that the center of gravity in the GOP would continue to move away from fossil fuels. Perhaps. But this week, a Sanders amendment explicitly describing that as the future trend was soundly defeated on the Senate floor.

I thought that the sun and moon controlled the climate. god forbid the sun starts moving 10 miles away from the earth every year. and what would happen if a 20 mile wide asteroid nails the moon? Man caused? Bush's Fault?
