Zealots and skeptics — shut up about Snowmageddon!

These global warming zealots and skeptics drive me crazy.  I’m sick of every weather event being used to either validate or disprove “climate change.”  Fact is: the climate is changing.  That doesn’t mean we humans (or cows or whatever else we can control) had a damn thing to do with it.  That doesn’t mean that we can do a damn thing to stop it.

I hear these stupid phrases so often:
     “It’s the hottest decade on record.”
     “Last year was the hottest year on record.”
     “The last decade has had the hottest xx years of the top 10.”

Well, when did the record start?  I mean, we didn’t have the Fahrenheit scale until the early 1700’s.  Is that when global warming zealots think the earth began?  And they call Sarah Palin stupid.

One of the first things I ask people when they start yelping at me about saving the planet from AGW is “Why is Greenland called Greenland when the capital city barely makes it to 50 degrees (F) during the year?”  I stole that line from a friend because it made so much sense.  Look it up.  Greenland used to be GREEN.  Then, the Little Ice Age happened.  Climate change happened.  Where were all the fossil-fuel burning cars then?  Where were all the incandescent bulbs?

Look at the ice core data that NOAA has gathered here.  Watch the video.  And by the way, the ”global warming” that began happening around -10,000 BC?  Well, that was when we started seeing humans roam the earth.  Hmm.
