The Coming Little Ice Age

I should be crowing with laughter right now over the situation that Al Gore is going to find himself in, but honestly, I am too busy browsing for snowshoes. The sun is in a minimum. There are no sun spots. For those of you who are uneducated on matters of the sun, this means the sun has essentially stopped breathing. During the last Solar Minimum, dubbed the Maunder Minimum, a 50 Year little Ice Age gripped the land. The Thames in London froze over thick enough that multi-story buildings where built on it, with ice flows in the late spring. During that time, a Viking Colony in Greenland froze over and died as Greenland turned into an icy wasteland.

So, what can you do about it? Invest in 4 wheel drive vehicles, good quality coats and scarves, and snowshoes. I know I will be.

What the Frak!!?

the Church of the Goracle in Australia is going too far now. They are actually encouraging kids to die young so that they don't "Use more than their fair share of the Earth's Resources"

I shat you not: http://www.abc.net.au/science/planetslayer/greenhouse_calc.htm

This is just plain sick. I clicked on it myself, to see what age I should die, and was shocked to see at the very begining that it tells you at what age you should die.

Apparently, the more money you spent for work in terms of driving and flying, the more CO2 you spent. And according to this website I should have died 14 years ago. That website is bullskat, and needs to be taken down. The Austrailian Government needs to see what kind of horrible Religous Fundamentalist pandering this is, and take it down. Suicide rates are high enough in Australia as it is.

below is a copy of an E-Mail I sent them in relation to this horrid and dangerous quiz. Help me spread this around friends. This example of Religious Bigotry cannot go unanswered.

I find my self sickened by the Planet Slayers quiz you have set up on your website. The Anti-Individual Rights slant to it, as well as the dangerous pandering to a Quasi-Religious group more interested in character assassination and death threats than in actual debate has moved into dangerous territory. In that game, you encourage children to die young. The average life style for an Australian leads to a death around the age of five or six years. As an American Citizen, I find myself glad that I do not live in a nation where the official national broadcasting system advocates the deaths of children not even in grade school.

I will do what ever I can to bring attention to this website, and make sure that people see this for what it is. An example of Religious Bigotry and an advocate of Child and Teen Suicide. This will not look good in the press, and it will reach the international press.

For those not familiar with the Commonwealth and their broadcasting systems, the official broadcasting corporations (BBC, CBC, ABC, etc.) are owned by the national government.

UPDATE: No response still.

Global Cooling

Well, looks like the Goraclists might just have to change their claims. As Antarctic Sea Ice Increases, the Arctic Sea Ice slows its melting, global climates drop, and the glaciers stabilise, I just have to sit back and say, HA!

In fact, it is right on time. Every twenty to thirty years, the MSM changes its mind about whether or not we are facing irrevocable cooling or heating. Well, its been almost 20 years since the claims of Global Cooling gave way to claims of Global Warming. And thus it is time once again for the Enivromental-Facists* to change their tune.

*Facist here is used in it's economic context of Privately Owned, State Controlled Economies. If this sounds familiar, think Minimum Wage and Fuel Economy Standards. Both of them are Facist Economic Policies in terms of their implementation.

More on these as the Goraclists start to rev up for summer. Can't wait.

Up until about 24 hours ago, the BBC was reporting that the global average climate had been decreasing since 1998. Yes, that's right, they changed the story. Not because some IPCC expert told them to, or because they had the facts wrong, but because some Nit-Wit Brit decided that it was wrong and threatened to smear the reporter who wrote the story across the entire internet. So, it thus makes total sense that LA is considering a Global Warming tax, after all, they haven't gotten the message.

Well, City of Angles, here it is. Global Climate has been going down in the past few years, and in 2007 alone, there was a net drop of .65 degrees Celsius. Yes, you heard me right, the last hundred years worth of warming was ERASED. Now, every Goraclist I have seen made it look like you were going to need pitons to climb the graphs as they went up almost vertically. And yet, the average temperature has dropped? Now that is a pretty big mistake.

No wonder the warmies have shut up recently...

Team Astrobotic

Well, I mentioned that this was gonna be a tech blog, and its time to blog the techy side of life. As many of you may not know, Google is sponsoring the new X-Prize. Called the Lunar X-Prize, ten official teams are racing to be the first to land a rover on the moon, have it move around, and take and send pictures and movies to earth and receive relayed commands from earth.

As I have been looking forward to this for a while, I am happy to say that I have found a team to support. Team Astrobotic. Made up of members of Carnagie-Mellon, a close friend of NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory and the builder of the probes currently operating on Mars, and Raytheon, a major force in the Aerospace Industry. I believe they are gonna win, and suggest others support them as well.

Thank You DailyTech

Wow, do I have a lot of stuff to cover. I won't do it all at once, it isn't my style. But I sill be covering it all, day by day, until i catch up with the cooler heads.

Anywho, first up is a report that is circulating the blogosphere that started with the DailyTech. In a recent article, dated 2-26-08, a report was cited that showed that global temperatures dropped in the past year, "Wiping out a century of warming" to quote Michael Asher. All of this is based on temperature readings from monitors all across the globe, as well as from Antarctic sea ice reaching "Record Heights." This is big.

Though at first it was all anecdotal, all four of the Globe's Temperature tracking agencies, (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, and RSS) have confirmed it. According to all four sources, it is the sharpest change ever recorded, mainly due to the lack of recording going from the Medieval Climate Optimum to the Little Ice Age. This is truly significant. a 0.65C drop in temperatures globally over twelve months. And I was sure that the warmies where up to something.

And look, it has been twenty years since the GW crowd emerged from the Ice Age crowd.

Look for calls of a coming Ice Age, and remember this moment when they swing back to the belief that the planet is warming in twenty years.

Too bad that the cold is so much more damaging to life as we know it than the heat.

International Confrence on Climate Change

Oh, how I wish I could be in New York on March 2nd , and that I could stay till the 4th. On those days, the International Conference on Climate Change shall be meeting at the Marriott New York Marquis Hotel.

These Scientists, Economists, and Public Policy Experts, hundreds in number, shall be gathering to call the bluff of Consensus. They shall form the first gathering of Heretics to challenge the IPCC.

For those who want more information on this, please go to www.GlobalWarming.org, the current home of the Cooler Heads Coalition.

For registration information, please go to http://www.heartland.org/NewYork08/registration.cfm

Sadly, it is $312 for a student to attend the conference. If there are any readers who are going, please let me know, I would love to get some information from inside the Confrence before its over. Also, please report this event to CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News, and try to get them to cover the event. A challenge to the IPCC is very cool.

More to come from the Coller Heads Coalition to come. Finally, something to do while the Warmies are quite.
