Three cheers for Global Warming!
Nature is doing the shenanigans and messing with the Global Warming. As an example, this last month was the coldest April in the last 100 years.
The average temperature in April 2008 was 51.0 F. This was -1.0 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 29th coolest April in 114 years. The temperature trend for the period of record (1895 to present) is 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.
Now that’s just not right. What about that extra beach Algore promised and I was looking forward to? And the warmer winters, which will save people’s lives?
Will Global Warming Save Lives?
Global Warming: A study done for the British government says that global warming will kill thousands. It also says lives will be saved due to warmer winters. OK, which is it? Or is it neither? A report commissioned by Britain’s Health Department says that one blistering hot summer between now and 2017 could kill more than 6,000 Britons. The panel of scientific experts that compiled the study believes the chance of that is 25%…The panel also said global warming will bring warmer winters, which will cut down on cold-related deaths in Britain.
So should we fear human-created climate change or embrace it?
Surprisingly, the BBC stood out as one media agent that took enough care to balance its coverage. Under the Web site headline “Global Warming ‘May Cut Deaths,’ ” it reported 20,000 deaths are linked to the cold each year in the U.K. and that those deaths fell 3% a year from 1971 through 2003…
While we are still skeptical of global warming claims, let us for a moment speculate what warmer winters — and a warmer world in general — would bring in addition to fewer cold-related deaths:
• Longer growing seasons and more land available for agriculture, two factors that will yield greater crop production.
• A reduction in respiratory and cardiovascular diseases that tend to be higher during colder months.
• Increased precipitation that will help the world solve its water scarcity issues.
• Lower heating bills by $12 billion a year, the Energy Department reckons.
I hate the cold. Can we just get Global Warming back on track please?
Ahh, there’s nothing like fighting off the blistering, incendiary, doomsday scenario of global warming by indulging in a double dip of chickory cheesecake.
WOW, Tammy! Thank you! 🙂
Those two lovlies can warm my…sorry, it was too easy. My apologies Ms. Tammy.
That is not good for the paint job. The main reason I got rid of my convertible. Half dressed women jumping on it constantly, the ice cream mess. I got a truck now and you can haul them around in that much easier and just hose it out after.
You know you’re over the hill when your first reaction to that photo is, “Wow – Ice Cream!!!”. 😉
Tammy – don’t you know that the Goreons now call it “Global Climate Change”! After all, it’s hard to call something “warming” when it’s always so fricking cold outside!
Using the phrase Global Warming is SO ‘Hurricane Katrina’ of you.
Tammy
If I were to put such fine American specimens on a website like that I’d be called a sexist. And I’d enjoy the compliment. Thanks for the eye candy and the post. Just save the one on the right for me (poor political humor).
Al Gore, eat your heart out. Your stuck with Tipper and presiding over a whacked out religion. In fact, you’re the Jeremiah Wright of “Climate Change”.
Just one more thing Tammy and I have in common. We both love hot chicks…Ha!
If we could get Tammy in the White shirt with the “come hither” look on the back of the convertible, that would be perfect. (If anyone doesn’t understand my reference, you are not paying enough attention to the Tammy Gallery).
Thanks for the eye candy. I needed that. As to global warming, we will soon complete a cycle that takes 25,000 to 28,000 years. That is our planet shifts from a stable circular orbit, to an elliptical orbit. The elliptical orbit is associated with cooling. (Sorry, Tammy.) It should yield shorter, warmer summers, and longer cooler winters. The so-called deniers contend that CO2 increases follow the warming rather than lead it. We should see that happen in the coming years. If they are correct, the CO2 levels should drop from the cooling, despite the steady increase in CO2 emissions. The weird thing about this is that the Mayan calender marks this event dead on in 2012. That is the end of the fourth world in their parlance. Kinda freaky how they tracked all this out without telecopes.
There’s just something about blonds and mesh body stockings. Yummers. Thanks, Tammy, for the, um,
“heart warming” picture. I agree, we hate being cold, too. In southern Colorado, we have it pretty nice for a winter climate. But, for some reason, everyone seems to agree that this past winter, while dryer than normal, just seemed colder. It’s been a real roller coaster spring. Warm, cold, warm. It’s been several days of warm sunshine and high 70s. Tonight a cold front and snow in the mountains and 30 degrees colder down here (5000′). Brrr. Spring needs to stick around, at least until Summer!
