Well its the last day of March here in Minnesota and we are getting totally dumped on, we're supposed to get 8" inches before its over, but at least nobody is talking about Global Warming today. If it was 80º they sure would be, so because its lower than average its my job as one of the few Global Warming Skeptics to talk about how today disproves the theory of man-made Global Warming.

Today is a prime example of my Second Law of Global Warming, whenever the mainstream media comes out and says that Global Warming is for real, God reminds us who really controls the weather, and we get hit with unusually cold weather or snow storm. This has happened so much that people now call Global Warming "Climate Change". Of course the Climate is always changing so no matter what happens they can say that they were right in their dire predictions.

Here are some very lovely charts showing that in Minnesota the warmest era was the 1930s. Chart provided by Global Warming Science.

5 inches of snow for the Twins opener reminds us why we built the dome in the first place.

Old Met Stadium For 1965 Opener

Global Warming isn't happening as fast as lawmakers hoped for as the Twin Cities gets a spring snowstorm dumping 5" to 8" of snow on opening day. Of course this year the game will be played in the dome, but a few blocks away the new "Outdoor" Twins stadium is being built and it won't have a retractable roof.

When deciding the design of the building I'm sure lawmakers took "Global Warming" into consideration thinking that if our weather is becoming more like Kansas, we don't need to spend the extra money and put on a roof. But sadly lawmakers were just being shnookered by smooth talking environmentalists, there is no Global Warming, in fact we are probably heading into more of a cooling period like the 60s and 70s. Maybe the Twins should sue Al Gore, take the money and build a roof.

Minneapolis, MN March, 29, 2008

Tonight at 8 P.M. Minneapolis is going to have a Blackout to prove how Green it is.

Its not an full blackout, they're just turning off the lights for one hour to remind us what life was like 100 years ago before electricity. It will also shows us what life will be like in the future when all we have is the wind and sun to provide electricity.

Its called "Earth Hour" and is a concept made up by the World Wildlife Federation as a global initiative "to finding solutions for climate change." It started in Sydney and is working its way around the globe. It is largely a symbolic gesture, it won't really have an impact on anything, but it does give us a glimpse into what the "Green" movement is all about, going back to the stone age.

Tells 60 Minutes That Doubting Global Warming Is Man-Made Is Akin To Believing Earth Is Flat.

Self-avowed "P.R. agent for the planet" Al Gore says those who still doubt that global warming is caused by man - among them, Vice President Dick Cheney - are acting like the fringe groups who think the 1969 moon landing never really happened, or who once believed the world is flat.

How many members of Congress does it take to change a light bulb? Americans may soon find out, courtesy of a contrarian piece of legislation introduced this month by Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.

Titled the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act," the bill seeks to repeal the nationwide phase-out of conventional light bulbs, the kind that have been used for more than a century -- pretty much since the invention of the incandescent light bulb.

"Whenever there's any sort of weather event that can be linked into the global warming orthodoxy, it's put on the front page. But a fact like that, which is that global warming stopped a decade ago, is virtually never reported, which is extraordinary."
- Op-ed in The Australian

CATASTROPHIC predictions of global warming usually conjure with the notion of a tipping point, a point of no return.

Last Monday - on ABC Radio National, of all places - there was a tipping point of a different kind in the debate on climate change. It was a remarkable interview involving the co-host of Counterpoint, Michael Duffy and Jennifer Marohasy, a biologist and senior fellow of Melbourne-based think tank the Institute of Public Affairs. Anyone in public life who takes a position on the greenhouse gas hypothesis will ignore it at their peril.

Duffy asked Marohasy: "Is the Earth stillwarming?"

She replied: "No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years."

Even though its Easter it looks a lot like Christmas, but that didn't stop these kids from getting their Easter candy.

In honor of all the great Calvin & Hobbes Snowman Cartoons and the recent dumping of perfect snowman making snow, I have decided to have the first ever "Minnesotans For Global Warming, Calvin & Hobbes Snowman Challenge". Plus its Easter weekend so everyone will just be laying around the house anyway.

So get off the couch, put on your gollashes, use your imagination (I suggest doing a sketch first) and make a creative Calvin & Hobbesy type Snowman, take a picture and email it to us. We will post all of them, then our panel of judges will pick a winner. The winner will get a FREE T-Shirt and a Bumper Sticker.

The Mystery of Global Warming's Missing Heat

by Richard Harris

Some 3,000 scientific robots that are plying the ocean have sent home a puzzling message. These diving instruments suggest that the oceans have not warmed up at all over the past four or five years. That could mean global warming has taken a breather. Or it could mean scientists aren't quite understanding what their robots are telling them.

Not unlike this old Wendy's Commercial Scientist are asking "Where's The Heat?"
Of course not letting the unexpected results of an experiment get in the way of their original hypothesis, they still believe in Global Warming.

Eskimos in Alaska and Canada have joined to stop polar bears from being designated as an endangered species, saying the move threatens their culture and livelihoods by relying on sketchy science for animals that are thriving.

Although they say sea ice has melted, some Natives question the accuracy of the most dire predictions of a warming climate in the Northern Hemisphere, and members of the Inuit Circumpolar Council seek evidence that a change would seriously harm the bears.

Did You Know That Eskimos Have 21 Words For Snow?

At first when I heard this statistic I was amazed, but then I started to think I'll bet us Minnesotans do as well. Me being a life long Minnesotan who skis and shovels and plows and sleds and makes snowmen. I betcha I can come up with 21 words for snow, here goes.

Coleman said that any degree of warming that has taken place over the last 25 years is beginning to be offset by a recent cooling trend. China, the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, has just experienced its coldest winter for 100 years.

A landmark court case that would destroy the so-called "consensus" behind man-made global warming could be in the works after Weather Channel founder John Coleman expressed his intention to sue Al Gore for fraud.

Companies that sell "carbon credits" on the basis that they offset carbon emissions could also be in the firing line as Coleman stated his conviction that man-made advocates would lose the case if a fair debate, something that the establishment is loathe to allow, was allowed to take place.

The most inconvenient truth for climate alarmists is the burgeoning number of influential scientists with dissenting opinions on global warming.

Brad Macdonald, The Trumpet

Al Gore says global warming is an inconvenient truth. “Inconvenient” adds a clever twist to the name of the would-be president’s popular documentary and book. But far worthier of scrutiny is the other word in the title: “Truth.”

Man-made global warming, says the former politician and a rising sea of climate alarmists, is not just inconvenient, it’s an unequivocal, undeniable truth. In fact, the truth about global warming is so convincing, that “debate in the scientific community is over.”

Howard C. Hayden, emeritus professor of physics from the University of Connecticut, says large corporations pushing the issue.

The hype surrounding the issue of global warming is a bunch of hot air, a retired physics professor told members of Rotary Club 43 on Monday. "Global warming is not a problem," Howard C. Hayden said. "Go find something useful to do."

Hayden is an emeritus professor of physics from the University of Connecticut and now resides in Pueblo West. Hayden, who spoke at the Rotary Club's weekly meeting, offered a skeptical view of global warming.

Washington Post pushes Carnegie document that encourages near-zero carbon output within decades

Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet

The establishment press is affording sober gravitas to a Carnegie Institution report that calls for carbon emissions to be reduced to near zero in order to combat global warming, without mentioning the fact that such a move would return man to the stone age if not end civilization as we know it and kill billions.

"The task of cutting greenhouse gas emissions enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperatures may be far more difficult than previous research suggested, say scientists who have just published studies indicating that it would require the world to cease carbon emissions altogether within a matter of decades," reports the Washington Post.

"Their findings, published in separate journals over the past few weeks, suggest that both industrialized and developing nations must wean themselves off fossil fuels by as early as mid-century in order to prevent warming that could change precipitation patterns and dry up sources of water worldwide."

International Conference on Climate Change, Heartland Institute

By Alan Caruba. Canada Free Press

For the last two days, March 2-4, I and about five hundred other people attended the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change, including some of the world’s leading authorities on climatology, meteorology, economics, energy, and other fields of knowledge.

It was an extraordinary event, held in New York and sponsored by the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based think tank that has been among those leading the effort to educate and inform the public about the mountain of lies that have led them to believe that the Earth is experiencing a huge increase in heat, a “global warming”, that is allegedly the direct result of human activities, primarily from the use of energy that includes coal, natural gas, and oil.

The conference message is simplicity itself: There is no “consensus” on global warming. The science is not “settled.” Indeed, this conference marks a highpoint in the effort to rescue the planet from people who regard their fellow human beings as a cancer afflicting the Earth.

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."

China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century. Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks without electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them.

There have been so many snow and ice storms in Ontario and Quebec in the past two months that the real estate market has felt the pinch as home buyers have stayed home rather than venturing out looking for new houses.
