Climate Change Cult Update

Poor Al Gore.

The weather just doesn't like to cooperate with his speeches.

It seems he may have to call off his Senate F0reign Relations Committee meeting.

He won't be able to warn of the dire consequences of Global Warming (the cultists want you to say 'climate change' now because it's more difficult to refute generic change). There is a Winter Storm Watch in effect in DC. (h/t Drudge)

To twist the knife a little, here are some other related headlines currently on the BBC "Latest Headlines" feed:

Tough Love for Car Industry (Obama is throwing the US automakers under the bus in favor of "green" policy.) Reducing emissions by closing factories, Barry? Your union backers are going to be awfully put-out.

'Climate Hope' in Economic Plans

[Funny, hope was once a firm thing, anchored in a future event in which one had confidence. You know, like the hope students have that "Spring Break" is coming, if they can just hang on until then, or like children anticipating Christmas morning.]

I especially like the confidence they place in off-setting. It allows you to pay someone else to do the "right thing" (by somebody's definition) while letting you continue to do the 'wrong thing' with a clean conscience. Call it eco-indulgences where once the coin rang in the coffer to spring souls from "purgatory" (And it took a certain German monk to undo that mess...)

Entire nations can do the moral equivalent by buying potentially fraudulent carbon off-sets. (There was a clever parody of this scheme, paying someone else to be true to their spouse, so you could cheat on yours. If it doesn't make sense for marriage...)

But wait, just when we are told to have hope in the change that we are hoping will change us and the world that so desperately needs us to stop changing it -- or something -- we are left with another report. Global Warming is Irreversible. But, what about all the hope the previous stories about the socialist solutions were supposed to fill me with? It's futile, but we have hope anyway? That's settled science for you!

[Breaking: Germany to dump 6 tonnes of Iron Sulphate into the South Atlantic to "help stop Global Warming." That's Iron and Sulphur. Sin Tonnes of Iron and Sulphur into the Ocean! Hey Germany, there's a story about an old woman who swallowed a fly. There's a moral to it. Look it up!]

Just to round things out:

SNOW IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES! (UAE is experiencing snow for only the Second time in their history!)

I'm sure the fact the the world in presently in a cooling trend, that the other planets in our solar system are also in cooling trends, and we are experiencing unusually low solar activity has NO bearing on the convictions of the eco-cult demanding we be penitent for our sins.

We must Propitiate Gaia's wrath, after all.
