I have always supported the idea of Global Warming.  I also support the concept of Global Cooling.  The earth has no doubtedly been warming over the last few years; however, I have never agreed with the “sky is falling” predictions that Al Gore and his kool-aid drinkers have been putting forth.  The earth goes through cycles.  It cools.  It heats up.  There are wet years.  There are dry years.  Things work in cycles.  Now don’t get me wrong, we don’t need to step up our polluting of the atmosphere, Lord knows the earth is doing a good enough job of it with all of the volcanoes and such. 

Al Gore Wrong Again

On October 14, 1997, Vice President Al Gore said, “For those who argue that global warming is already changing the world’s climate, this year’s El Nino weather front is more than enough evidence”, the audience was told by Gore. In the next day, a report by the San Francisco Chronicle said: “Gore links El Nino to Global Warming”. The Vice President stated at the summit that growing frequency of El Nino episodes could be connected to the gradual heating of the atmosphere caused by emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Ten years later residents in Argentina and Brazil are wondering if this winter will ever end. Buenos Aires recorded this Thursday (November 15th) the lowest November temperature in 90 years. Temperature in the Downtown weather station reached 2.5C. Since records began more than a century ago, only two days had colder lows in November. It was in 1914 (1.6) and 1917 (2.4). And ninety years ago the urban heat island effect was much less pronounced than nowadays.  In Brazil’s southernmost province Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil temperatures fell to 2.3C.  In Sao Joaquim Monda’s (Nov., 12) the temperature was -1.2 C with frost.
