Global Cooling

In the Northern Hemisphere we are approaching the first day of summer 2012 which must mean they are approaching the first day of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. With the hysteria over 'the winter that wasn't' and the warm May in the Eastern US and southern Ontario climate change alarmists needed to be reminded of  'the severe winter that was' in Europe, Asia, Alaska and Western US and Canada. It remains unexplained how the heat trapping gas, CO2, worked so well in one part of the word while it totally failed to retain any heat in the bulk of the Northern Hemisphere winter of 2011-2012. Alarmists see only that which bolsters their concerns and exhibit tunnel vision when the universe throws water on their cherished beliefs.

So let's see what is going on in the Southern Hemisphere as the world prepares for the RIO+20 conference on sustainability. Will attendees be greeted by the heat retaining CO2 or will the heat avoiding variety be in attendance at the conference?

Focus on the warm because that supports the theory of man made CO2 induced global warming.

Ignore the cold because that is inconvenient data that spoils the preferred theory.

"The growth of knowledge depends entirely on disagreement" -- Karl Popper

It is the public interplay between confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance that distils the truth.

It remains for the global warming alarmists to explain how the heat trapping gases such as CO2 can work so selectively around the world. If we are dumping CO2 into the atmosphere shouldn't we be warming all over the globe? Isn't that what global warming implies?
