As world leaders at the UN Climate Summit reached an
agreement to tighten the shackles of oppressive global warming regulations late
November, God laughed, and the moisture from his breath touched the earth,
painting the place where the Christmas story began, the Holy Land, white with
snow December 13.
The same day, the Arab Spring region witnessed an Arab
winter, when dusty desert streets were dusted with the first snowfall in 112
years. And last week, Australia's summer landscape became a winter wonderland.
Be it hot, cold, or in between, disciples of the
pseudo-religion of global warming, will cite these natural occurrences as proof
of man-caused climate change, forgetting the One who created it all did not
forget to make allowances for man's existence on this planet.
All is not lost, for Australians have seen the light;
given their new government was elected by a landslide running on an anti-global
warming, anti-carbon tax platform. The new leadership unapologetically opposes
further carbon tax and climate change contributions to the UN regulations they
perceive as "socialism masquerading as environmentalism."
And what else could it be, considering the cold-hard
facts pointing to a cooling planet? NASA recently confirmed East Antarctica
registered the lowest temperature ever recorded on planet Earth, at minus 135.8
degrees. Besides the Lower 48 having been pummeled with record cold weather,
Climate Depot reported by the end of November there were nearly 1000 record low
maximum temperatures, 205 snowfall records, including blizzards and heavy
snowfalls in Italy, Greece, the South Pole, Bulgaria, Macedonia, the Balkans,
Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Alaska, and Russia. In addition, the global
sea ice area is the largest it has been in 25 years and the Arctic ice mass is
the largest in 10 years.
With evidence piling up inch-by-snowy-inch that the
planet's temperature is headed south, activists had no choice but to rebrand
the name of their scheme to transfer huge bundles of Western wealth to Third
World tyrants from global warming to "climate change."
Facts matter little to those like Greenpeace, who
recorded a video to terrify kids wherein Santa laments, "Dear children,
regrettably I bring bad tidings. For some time now melting ice here at the
North Pole has made life intolerable...and there may be no alternative but to
cancel Christmas... My home in the Arctic is vast disappearing and unless we
all act urgently, I have to warn you of the possibility of an empty stocking
forevermore..."
I'm not sure where Greenpeace thinks Santa lives, but I
recently visited his stomping grounds up here in Alaska and it looks okay to
me. The weather outside is definitely frightful and it's snowing like crazy as
I type. I'd dare say those who scare children might end up on Santa's naughty
list, finding lumps of coal in their stockings Christmas morning. Now wouldn't
that be ironic?
Seriously, the facts are in; notable scientists are
warming up to the premise of global cooling. The Atmospheric Sciences Group
head at the University of Wisconsin, Anastasios Tsonis, says the pattern of
cooling will run through 2030, or maybe 2060, according to the head of Russia's
Pulkovo Observatory, Habibullo Abdussamatov, or Saarland University's
Horst-Joachim Luedecke, predicts temperatures will fall until the year 2100,
"to a value corresponding to the Little Ice Age of 1870." Ludecke and
others believe humans play a nominal role in the heating or cooling of the
earth.
If only President Obama and Democrats would join the
ranks of those with sound reasoning rather than the environmental socialism
crowd. But that won't happen until global cooling freezes Hell too. According
to Politico, Obama's new top advisor, John Podesta will concentrate on energy
and climate policy to "help ensure the president's climate program
progresses more smoothly than the troubled rollout of his signature health care
law."
So here's a prediction: Democrats will attempt to do to
the energy sector with climate change regulations what they did to the medical
and insurance industry with Obamacare.
