"An Inconvenient Truth" Displays Al Gore's Inconvent Truth!
by Bill Smith, ARRA Editorial: Davis Guggenheimwon an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth." In accepting the Oscar, he said "We did so because we were moved to act by this man (gestures to Al Gore). ... all of us were inspired by his fight for 30 years to tell this Truth to all of us. Thank you, Al. We are so inspired. We share this with you." Al Gore said, "My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act, that's a renewable resource. Let's renew it."
So now you have it -- Global Warming has been going on for at least 30 years. Or has it! Well let's flash back to a Time article on June 24, 1974 tilted "Another Ice Age?" A few quotes: "As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades (e.g., 30 years). The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."
"Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. ... Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. ... Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years."
Liberal elites say we have Global Warming and they want you to change this by giving up your life style. Are they willing to change their life-style of luxury? No they just buy offsets. I say, let's wait another seven years before worrying about a weather cycle that has swung in 30 years from "we are heading to an Ice Age" to "Global Warming is upon us." If we get hit by the asteroid, it won't matter. If not, which I expect, then maybe we will have more facts on how mankind thinks it is going to change the global weather patters which have been in motion for thousands of years. Oh yes there was an "Inconvenient Truth" displayed at the Oscars -- Al Gore has ballooned - and its not due to warm air! One might recommend his reading another Presidential hopeful's book: Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork by Mike Huckabee.

As an atmospheric scientist, I can clarify that in the 70's as the article indicates, there was speculation on climate patterns that would lead to an ice age.
That research ultimately lead to the opposite conclusion. Global average temperatures are in fact rising steadily at a rate far more rapid than any natural rate observed in the Earth's history.
Understand that "Global Warming" is not as simple as watching the temperature rise. Rising temperatures in one place can lead to prevailing winds that help cool another. Changing sea-surface temperatures can dramatically affect local climate in bizarre, counter-intuitive ways. An example: Glaciers on Mount Shasta in California have been increasing. Taking only this information, one could conclude the scientists are wrong. But looking at more glaciers spread across the globe, we see them receding at an alarming pace.
Al Gore is right in stating that Climate Change is a moral issue. Humans have affected the climate in a measurable way, and practical solutions should be pursued by all political parties.
The above posted comment said "As an atmospheric scientist, I can clarify . . ." This is the first atmospheric scientist named "anonymous." Interesting!
Stating that Climate Change is a "moral issue" is conjecture not fact. If as the person says, "Humans have affected the climate in a measurable way," then are they advocating that those parts of the world with alleged overpopulation should have a population reduction.
Ever notice the former claims of damage from methane gases. Studies also showed that the cattle population (worshiped in India) contributed significantly (more than the humans) to increase in global methane gas. Interesting that a few belching volcanoes contributed more than all the other sources. Would anonymous advocate the eradication of India sacred cows? Note that Hindus do not eat their cows and it is reasoned that starvation in areas of India would decrease if these sacred cows were not alive to eat grain which would then be used to feed the people. But then oops there would be more people and the "dang nabbed" people are the cause of the global warming problem. The global warming problem can't be cyclic. Ever wonder when and how the Vikings farmed Greenland before it was covered in ice? Maybe it was a whole lot warmer in those days. If the weather is not cyclic, and humans cause the problem, then back when Greenland was really green, there must have been all that hot air caused by the Vikings exploring the North seas.
The inconvenient truth for many is that Al Gore is a global con artist. He didn't invent the Internet and he position on global warming is unsubstantiated. Global warming and global cooling do exist but will continue even when the demigods of climate change are deep in their graves. Unfortunately, by then our civilization will have been affected by their chicanery.
