Please Give Me Some Global Warming!

Today, it is likely that North Texas will break the record for snowfall this season.

Please give me some global warming!

It has snowed six times in less than three months here in North Texas.

It’s freezing outside and I have only been able to play golf twice in the last three months.

North Texas experienced a blizzard snowfall on Christmas Eve. All of the local churches canceled Christmas Eve services because the roads were impassable.

Recently one of the “scientific expert” proponents of global warming refused to answer this question-“ Isn’t it true that global temperatures have actually fallen over the last 15 years?”
She avoided answering this question by stating the following, “Certainly there are temperature fluctuations over a short period of time, but it’s more important to focus on longer periods of times…global temperatures have actually risen over the last century.”

Her point is that temperatures have risen over the last century, and because this is a longer period of time than simply looking at the last 15 years, the “trend” in global warming is statistically more reliable.

Fine. Let’s look at the trend of global warming over the last 20,000 or so years (Pleistocene Epoch, or ice age.) During this time, which actually extended for several million years ago up until about 10,000 years ago, large land masses were covered with glacial ice. Obviously this is no longer the case, which indicates that major global warming occurred PRIOR to the last century, and PRIOR to the development of the industrial age and man-made pollution.

A little bit of common sense, which seems to be lacking in many scientific discussions these days, shows that major warming, much greater than the tiny bit of warming that may have occurred over the last century and which certainly has not occurred over the last 15 years, actually occurred without any human intervention.
