Global Warming Hoax Is a Stale Old Scare Warmed Over
Other than having the militant backing of the world governmedia, the global warming hoax doesn't have a whole lot going for it — not even originality. An AP article in the Washington Post tried to scare readers into buying some more papers by gasping:
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
This was back in 1922. If moonbats' precious ice was already melting away 86 years ago, you'd think it would all be gone by now, wouldn't you?
You could almost start to believe that the climate naturally fluctuates, regardless of what kind of light bulbs we use.

It's remarkable how leftists can be so ignorant of history, science, and economics yet so absolutely convinced of their intellectual superiority.

G.H.W. Bush was born in 1924. Coincidence? I think not!

Vikings had working farms in Greenland 1000 years ago. Give me a call when farming returns to Greenland - maybe then Ill get a little worried. But even then, if it happened 1,000 without mans help....

Western Europe experienced a general cooling of the climate between the years 1150 and 1460 and a very cold climate between 1560 and 1850 that brought dire consequences to its peoples. The colder weather impacted agriculture, health, economics, social strife, emigration, and even art and literature. Increased glaciation and storms also had a devastating affect on those that lived near glaciers and the sea.
Extreme climate changes are present in history.
