"It is illogical, Spock":
"Cooling is caused by global warming.
Ask any
liberal.
They will tell you." Orthoclase
"Man-made global warming is
not based on fact. It is an ideology that is rooted in destroying the 'western'
way of life. It seeks to place us as the cause of all the problems in the
world." Conservemus
"2000, and December was colder still.
'Global
warming has stopped,' said David Whitehouse, former science editor for the BBC.
'It's not a viewpoint or a skeptic's inaccuracy. It's an observational
fact." Real Clear Politics

Pacific
Decadal Oscillation (PDO)
"The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is a pattern of Pacific climate variability that shifts phases on at least inter-decadal time scale, usually about 20 to 30
years. The PDO is detected as warm or cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean, north of
20° N. During a "warm", or "positive", phase, the west
Pacific becomes cool and part of the eastern ocean warms; during a
"cool" or "negative" phase, the opposite pattern
occurs." Wikipedia
El Niño heats up the weather and La Niña cools it down. It's
cyclical (around every 4 years).
We experienced El Niño not too long ago. With El Niño events, the
trades slacken or reverse direction. The pool of surface water warmer than
28°C, normally located over the western tropical Pacific, is forced eastwards.
It evaporates, resulting in drenching rains over South America (east Pacific).
Meanwhile, Indonesia in the west Pacific, experiences drought conditions.
La Nina cools waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but its
effects are felt around the globe. It typically lasts for up to 12 months and
generally less damaging event than the stronger El Nino. When La Niña occurs,
the southeast trades strengthen and water even warmer than usual is piled up in
the west Pacific. This leads to excess rains in the west and dry conditions in
the east Pacific. BBC - Weather
That's the Pacific side of the planet.
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
On the Atlantic side, we have the Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO).
The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a cyclic
variation in the large-scale atmospheric flow and ocean currents in the North
Atlantic Ocean that combine to alternately increase and decrease Atlantic sea
surface temperatures (SSTs). - Wunderground
As more fresh water enters into the Atlantic (North pole
melting activities), the North Atlantic gets colder, causing the Gulf Stream to
cool and make Europe get colder. Cause and effect, baby! Cause and Effect!

Santa Saved. The North Pole Doesn’t Melt
"Now we’ve reached the end of the melt
season. There were an extra
150,000 square miles of ice over last summer’s totals when the ice started to
expand again. I suspect that we’ll
have another cooler winter and a continuation of ice buildup at the pole, but I
doubt you’ll ever hear about it, much like you didn’t hear about 2007 having an
unusually small hole in the ozone layer." (''American Sentinel''; Sept. 24,
2008)
An open letter from The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley to
Senator John McCain about Climate Science and Policy
"From 1700-1998, temperature rose at a
near-uniform rate of about 1 °F per century [Akasofu, 2008]. In 1998,
"global warming" stopped, and it has not resumed since: indeed, in
the past seven years, temperature has been falling at a rate equivalent to as
much as 0.7 °F per decade [Hadley Center for Forecasting, 2008; US National
Climatic Data Center, 2008]." (''An American Thinker''; Oct. 20, 2008)
Southern Hemisphere Sea Ice Reaches "Unprecedented"
Levels
On a global basis, world sea ice in April 2008 reached
levels that were "unprecedented" for the month of April in over 25
years. Levels are the third highest (for April) since the commencement of
records in 1979, exceeded only by levels in 1979 and 1982. This continues a
pattern established earlier in 2008, as global sea ice in March 2008 was also
the third highest March on record, while January 2008 sea ice was the second
highest January on record. It was also the second highest single month in the
past 20 years (second only to Sept. 1996).
Anecdotal cold weather news from around the world:
There continues to be a number of reports of colder than normal weather and
seasons from around the globe. Here are a few;
NOAA: U.S. breaks or ties 115 cold and sets 63 new snowfall records
Of course many of you that live in this weather already know
this, but there is an early start to winter this year, not only in the USA, but
also in London, England, where it snowed in October for the first time in over 70 years.

Global Cooling is Here! Evidence for Predicting Global
Cooling for the Next Three Decades
In 2008, NASA satellite imagery confirmed that the Pacific
Ocean had switched from the warm mode it had been in since 1977 to its cool
mode, similar to that of the 1945-1977 global cooling period. The shift
strongly suggests that the next several decades will be cooler, not warmer as
predicted by the IPCC.
IceCap has a lot of other interesting information as well.
I could keep going. 2008 is colder than 2007 which is colder
than 2006, etc. Do you see a trend? I do.
If I hear another: "But it's caused by Global
Warming" explanation, I'm going to get very, very mad and my temperature will rise and
cause Global Warming!
But we keep getting this Malarkey –
Man is to blame for Antarctic temperature rise
Read the comments on this laughable, hysterical and totally
disproven article.
More Scare-mongering - Major Shifts in North Atlantic Ecosystems Driven by 'Unprecedented' Climate Change in Last Half-Century
The climate computer models are wrong – pure and
simple. Those programmers need to get outside more often instead of always
being stuck in some basement like they are growing mushrooms in manure. Or they
are mired in the manure.
Now read these notes From Bob Tisdale on Climate Change and
Global Warming;
He wrote;
"If the Antarctic
is getting warmer, as claimed, than why has the ice cover there increased by
far more than that 'lost' at the arctic?
If the arctic is loosing
ice at an 'increasing rate', than why has this year seen record early ice formation
and record extent?
If the earth is getting warmer, than why have
record low temperatures and record early snowfalls been occurring across the
Northern hemisphere this year (and temperatures becoming lower for the last 5
years)?
The main consequence of these new Cold record events
seems to be the 'global warming' industry trying to cover its tracks with a
record number of factually incorrect bulletins in denial of the steady
reduction in global temperatures.
How long before the Global Warming
gang do an about face and blame 'global cooling' on man? The
temperature changes of the last 20 years - or even the last 100 or 200 years
are small and insignificant compared with the historic changes of even the last
2,500 years.
This self-serving 'science' of climate change being
man-made has as much proof and proven science behind it as did the assumptions
of the middle ages that illness was passed from one person to another by
looking at them."
Media Hype on ‘Melting’ Antarctic Ignores Record Ice Growth;
"Contrary to media hype, the vast majority of Antarctica has
cooled over the past 50 years and ice coverage has grown to record levels since
satellite monitoring began in the 1979, according to peer-reviewed studies and
scientists who study the area. (US Senate Committee on Environment and Public
Works''; March 27, 2008)

This video is still fun to watch "Doomsday Called
Off".
Enough of the rhetoric on Global Warming and Climate Change
already!
The Global Warming Emperor has no clothes. Empirical evidence from
real scientific study wins over the "Agenda of the Left"™. Fact
trumps fiction. It took long enough.
Enjoy your early cold winter. We've been through this hot/cold cycle before.
