Wot no warming ??
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998. But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
What is really interesting at the moment is what is happening to our oceans. They are the Earth's great heat stores. In the last few years [the Pacific Ocean] has been losing its warmth and has recently started to cool down
According to research conducted by Professor Don Easterbrook from Western Washington University last November, the oceans and global temperatures are correlated. The oceans, he says, have a cycle in which they warm and cool cyclically. The most important one is the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO).
For much of the 1980s and 1990s, it was in a positive cycle, that means warmer than average. And observations have revealed that global temperatures were warm too. But in the last few years it has been losing its warmth and has recently started to cool down. These cycles in the past have lasted for nearly 30 years
They are villains & rascals, every man jack of ‘em. I for one will be ensuring that my ‘ready use’ rope is well oiled because the Climate Chicken Lickens are the only group known to possess a religious fervour that surpasses followers of radical Islam. Their rational & augments are equally as flawed.

An inconvenient truth.
My ambition for the coming year is to have a carbon footprint the size of Al Gore's A$$.

And there's a good case that the warmest year on record wasn't even 1998, but actually 1934...

And I expect any day now to read in the local fish-wrap that, WWU being the bastion of liberal "thought" (so-called) that it is, Professor Easterbrook has been defrocked, and subsequently smothered in tofu.

Errr about that hanging tree graphic: excellent concept, and one we should all be hoping for, but how does one go about using the noose in the higher branch?
Or does that just serve as the "signpost", as it were?

And yet, the madness continues. Just this morning, CBC (our Canadian radio version of Pravda)announced new concerns about "climate change". Apparently, we all must do our part. Incidentally, western Canada broke 40-50 year old cold weather records this weekend.
