Climate dissent grows hotter as chill deepens

Last week, virtually unreported in Britain, the extraordinary winter weather of 2008 elsewhere in the world continued. In the USA, there were blizzards as far south as Texas and Arkansas, while in northern states and Canada what they are calling “the winter from hell” has continued to break records going back in some cases to 1873. Meanwhile in Asia more details emerged of the catastrophe caused by the northern hemisphere’s greatest snow cover since 1966.
In Afghanistan, where they have lost 300,000 cattle, the human death toll has risen above 1,500. In China, the havoc created by what its media call “the Winter Snow Disaster” has continued, not least in Tibet, where six months of snow and record low temperatures have killed 500,000 animals, leaving 3 million people on the edge of starvation.
It might have seemed timely that in New York an array of leading climatologists and other experts should have gathered for the most high-powered international conference yet to question the “consensus” on global warming. After three days of what the chairman called “the kind of free-spirited debate that is virtually absent from the global warming alarmist camp”, the 500 delegates issued the Manhattan Declaration, stating that attempts by governments to reduce CO2 emissions would “markedly diminish further prosperity” while having “no appreciable impact” on the Earth’s warming.

I am 100% behind Gorebal warming and have been excited about it all along. With two waterfront homes, one swimming pool and two boats, of course I am for Gorebal Warming. Furthermore, so many die each year from cold that its a no brainer we are in favor of warming. But just about the time my gooseflesh is subsiding I read more bad news about Gorebal cooling. So heres my question – what do we have to do to ensure Gorebal Warming? I want it, I need it, I am prepared and excited about it. Where do I volunteer to promote life giving Gorebal Warming?
It’s simple; to hasten global warming (which will destroy “the planet” in two years but you can help make it one year), encourage the propagation of cows. We all know that cow farts are the primary contributor to this worldwide menace.

If you think that global warming is bad, wait till we get a few days of frost some August.

Gill Fin,

Cow farts and politicians. This should be a warm year. I’ve already felt some warm air blowing up my pant suit.
