The next time you hear Democrats assert that they must stop the use of coal to make electricity because the North Pole is melting from warming sea water, remember this planned assessment of a month ago, and its finding this week. The north polar ice is a hundred percent thicker than expected. Instead of the two meters anticipated, it is four meters thick. Twelve feet, y’all. What warming sea water?

Even if you don’t believe the globe is warming, painting roofs and roads white, or some other light color, would sure cut air-conditioning bills and go far in eliminating the heat-island effect. Not that I want the rancho’s roof white. But I don’t have to worry. Simple solutions never appeal to big government. They don’t produce new jobs for the bureaucracy or more tax money for pet projects. Still… Painting roofs and roads white. What a concept.

Well, trying to, anyhow, before Barry & Co. further ruin the economy with cap and trade.
I have meteorologist friends whose opinions I respect on most things weather subjects who solemnly believe the global warming stuff. But, try as I may, I just can’t accept the idea that puny man could be damaging the whole planet — especially not with a gas which trees and plants need to grow. I do not trust the UN, and the so-called climate models, backed by shrill alarmists like Al Gore and James Hansen, have just never impressed me. There’s too much evidence against them.

As Barry prepares to raise the price of electricity, gasoline, heating oil and diesel fuel (via taxing carbon emissions to reverse "global warming"), scientific skeptics are gathering allies:
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” — Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group."
Read. It. All.

Oh, yeah, that’ll win votes in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, etc. Really, really smart.
Mac’s sending an AIM 9 up his tailpipe on this one, however.
And while Barry’s working over coal, he plans to force your electric bill through the roof. Gotta save the whales from the global warming fantasy, ya know.

Sarah, still under The Inept Inquisitor Charlie Gibson’s gotta-get-my-gotcha manner, fights back:
"PALIN: I think you are a cynic because show me where I have ever said that there’s absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any affect, or no affect, on climate change."
Heh. No sweat. No-homework Gibson couldn’t tell you what he had for lunch yesterday.
