you know how the GW alarmists are always predicting that this NEXT year YOU'LL SEE! there will be BAD hurricaines and LOTS of tornados, etc. and somehow they're always wrong?

well the folks that say GW is caused by solar activity told us that they could predict global temp fluctuations by predicting solar activity through extrapolation of known solar cycles. they tried that this year. you know what they said about 12 months ago? that 2007 would be the coldest on record in a long, long time. so far the GW alarmists are batting .000 and the solar activity climatologists are batting 1.000.

i hope this generates a LOT of debate and we can finally dodge the bad plolicies that were just about to cause us to waste huge amounts of $$$ at the altar of global warming.

Yep - the Farmer's Almanac uses this methodology and their prediction this year was on target as usual. I wonder if Al Gore will have to give his prize back.

Politicians rarely give back anything of value.

But then, what is a Noble Peace Prize worth? Jimmy Carter has one.

Nuff said.

And here I've always thought that snow and the earth's climate were two different things. Amazing what you can learn here.

This was running through my mind too. Please don’t forget:

2004 winner - Wangari Maathai - created controversy by appearing to lend credibility to the theory that HIV was invented by white scientists to destroy black people.

1973 winner - Henry Kissinger – awarded for his work on the Vietnam Peace Accords, despite having instituted the secret 1969–1975 campaign of bombing against infiltrating NVA in Cambodia, the alleged U.S. involvement in Operation Condor—a mid-1970s campaign of kidnapping and murder coordinated among the intelligence and security services of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay—as well as the death of French nationals under the Chilean junta. He also supported the invasion of Cyprus resulting in approximately 1/3 of the island being occupied by foreign troops for 33 years.

1994 winner - Yasser Arafat – I don’t even need to get into why this is off-track
