WD>Tim,

TR>WD>The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the
TR>WD>stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.


WD>So you don't know who Bertrand Russel was ...


Bertrand Arther William Russell:


He was the third Earl Russell; holder of the awards: OM (order of ohmagosh!),
FRS (Fraternity of Royal Shitheads!).


He was a British philosopher, a logician, a mathematician, an historian, a
social critic AND a political activist.


Nowhere in his biography is there anything about his being a `weather
scientist, or a `global warming' morphed into `climate change'!


His greatest achievement seems to be having sired four children, two of whom
were the 4th and 5th Earl Russell, respectively!


TR> The Great Lakes were frozen over about 91% this year. That hasn't
TR> happened since about 1979, more than 33 years ago!


WD>The area you describe is a too small mass of land to deny that a global
WD>event is happening.


WD>Europe has had its warmest winter ever. So down the drain goes your silly
WD>observation.


Neither you, nor anyone else has the basis to call this past winter `the
warmest winter ever' in Europe. There have only been records kept for around
200 years or so. You don't know how warm winters were back say...2000 years or
so ago.


And don't bother coming back with the claim that `2000' years is un-realistic,
either! The actual recorder history of Mankind isn't even a drop in the bucket
in the Earth's over-4.5 BILLION years of existence!


And notice the `global warming' title went away, and in its place we now have
`climate change'?


If there's one single thing that can be claimed about the weather that is
correct, its `climate change'.


The `climate' changes all the time! Big deal! No need for going around
yelling `the sky is falling'!


By the way....let me go on record here about something:


Do I advocate we keep using petroleum products till they're exhausted?


NO! Nor have I EVER made such a statement.


Do I think we shouldn't be making every effort to discover and develope NEW
forms of energy methods?


NO! And I never made any statements of THAT nature, either.


I think there are energy methods that COULD be developed that would last
Mankind for many centuries, if not indefinitely.


BUT!! We don't have those methods now. What we DO have now is petroleum and
coal. In fact...here in the US we have right around 300 years of coal supplies
available to us right now! And petroleum is also available, and COULD be
fairly inexpensive to the public IF the governments would get the hell out of
the way and let it be developed and refined!


Petroleum isn't gonna last forever. Neither is coal. But...there is plenty of
time to develope new sources of energy without making life hard for ordinary
people to live.


Deliberately forcing electricity and motor vehicle fuel costs to skyrocket,
isn't helping anyone. In fact...the ones getting hurt the worst are the VERY
people leftists are always CLAIMING they are all about helping: The Poor!


Its nearly impossible to tell someone you're `helping' to force `renewable
energy sources' to be discovered and developed and make them feel good about
what you're doing, when that someone has to watch their kids shivering through
a record-cold winter because you've pushed electricity and heating oil costs
too high for him to afford to keep his kids warm in your pursuit of `renewable
energy'!
