The GW issue is not whether or not the global temperatures are rising. The cogent issue is what caused it. Since in truth it is unknowable, we are left with proposing theories that no one can prove. So, never forget that they are just theories. In the true scientific method one tries to think of all the possible explanations and then try to find the one that best explains the observations. The AGW theorists have not shown a convincing argument that their theory best fits the data. The jury is still out, but to a dispassionate observer I have not seen sufficient evidence that GW is anything more than normal temperature variations caused by Mother Nature. Using Occam's Razor to pick the best theory, the simplest answer is definitely not AGW. I am open to all theories until one of them comes to the forefront. Unfortunately, we cannot test the theories experimentally so we have to wait a long time to see which one best explains the observations. Fortunately we have a long time frame because contrary to what some alarmists say, changes in the world do not happen very fast. Most such events are measured in thousands and millions of years. Best, JRH

They believe in their global warming and the rest of their tired leftwing dogma just as they believe that anyone who does not grovel for the leftwing Agenda is "evil" "stupid" "violent" etc etc. This halfwit Eugene Robinson makes a good living writing for the Washington Post, as a regular on TV "talk" shows, and even the Wall Street Journal uses his leftwing crap in a pathetic attempt to appear "impartial." It is disgusting what low mentality clowns like Eugene Robinson rake in for their tired regurgitation of the leftwing talking points.

Left-leaning Center for American Progress blames Republicans for devastating tornadoes ____________________________________________________________ 4/29/2011 By Amanda Carey dailycaller.com The left-leaning Center for American Progress published a blog post Thursday blaming Republicans for the tornadoes that devastated the South earlier this week. “The congressional delegations of these states – Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky – overwhelmingly voted to reject the science that polluting the climate is dangerous,” wrote CAP’s Brad Johnson. “They are deliberately ignoring the warning from scientists.” Johnson’s justification is that climate scientist Kevin Trenberth warned the American Meteorological Society in January that “Given that global warming is unequivocal, the null hypothesis should be that all weather events are affected by global warning rather than the inane statements along the lines of ‘of course we cannot attribute any particular weather event to global warming.’” At the last count, the tornadoes has claimed 297 lives – the greatest number of deaths by tornadoes since April of 1974 when 315 people were killed throughout the South and Midwest. President Obama traveled to Alabama – the hardest-hit state – Friday morning to survey the damage, after signing an Alabama Disaster Declaration. Johnson has not yet returned The Daily Caller’s request for comment. UPDATE: Despite attempts to link the tornadoes to climate change, many experts dismiss the theory. Grady Dixon, assistant professor of meteorology and climatology at Mississippi State University said, “If you look at the past 60 years of data, the number of tornadoes is increasing significantly, but it’s agreed upon by the tornado community that it’s not a real increase.” “It’s having to do with better (weather tracking) technology, more population, the fact that the population is better educated and more aware. So we’re seeing them more often,” he added. And Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), appeared to dismiss the global warming connection Thursday when he said, “Actually what we’re seeing is springtime.” CAP, however, released a report Friday, that also tried to link extreme weather to global warming. According to the press release, the report “gathers, condenses, and synthesizes scientific data regarding extreme weather and its links to global warming to provide context to the recent surge in extreme weather events.” Read more: dailycaller.com
