Droughtflood

In the summer of 2012 there is a drought in North America. Crops are thirsty, forests catch fire, food prices  rise and it is all because of man-made global warming. This is what global warming looks like we are told by those in the know. Clearly, we must reduce our emissions of CO2 or we will become human fricassee. Fan the hysteria!

So, if the droughts are due to man-made global warming as predicted then the rest of the Northern Hemisphere should also be experiencing drought n'est-ce pas?

Is it?

In the British Isles, site of the 2012 summer Olympics, it has been raining cats and dogs. Well, they invented the phrase!

In Russia there are floods and China has been trying to hide the fact of their floods. Japan got 20 inches of rain in one day.

So, no global drought. And by inference, no global flooding either. There is not one climate on Earth. There are many. Some are drier(desert) and some are wetter (rainforest).

The same thing happens with temperature. If it is hotter than normal in N. America  you can be sure to find areas where it is cooler than normal like Sweden, Amsterdam, Fiji, Washington state, and Alaska. Not to mention that it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and they are enjoying the cold and snow down there.

Kinda takes the GLOBAL out of global warming doesn't it? Where's the BEEF?

It appears that climate conditions portrayed in the media as GLOBAL, aren't. Does the additional heat trapping CO2 that humans have added to the atmosphere congregate in certain areas? Sometimes the same area that endured drought in one year is inundated the following year. Ask the Aussies. How does the CO2 decide which it will do? Or maybe CO2 has nothing at all to do with it.

The climate of the Earth seems to have a kind of Balance to it. Hot here, cold there. Dry here, wet there. Early cherry blossoms here; late cherry blossoms there. The Earth in Balance. Is that a problem or any different than the climate of the past? It is the way of our world.

Why the hysteria? Could it be for political reasons that have nothing to do with the climate?

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose." ~ Club of Rome

We have met the enemy and he is us! ~ Pogo

Ahhhhh! All becomes clear. A ploy for world domination run by misanthropic mice!

Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!

And when the fear of climate change subsides they will move on to the next great crisis caused by those evil humans. With each new crisis people give up more of their freedom as restrictions, taxes and regulations are passed to deal with the issue. Undaunted they plot on.....

Brain: Come, Mindy, it's time for us to conquer the world.
Mindy: Why?
Brain: By right of superior intelligence, I am best suited to guide the destiny of this planet.
Mindy: Why?
Brain: My empirical powers give me the mandate.
Mindy: Why?
Brain: Because it's something I want to do!!
