Yesterday, it rained off and on most of the day here in Connecticut. Each time I checked (which admittedly was not too often), the temperature was in the 40s. Today, the temperatures have bounced back a bit; the expected highs and lows are just 11 degrees below normal. The rain has also stopped. Given the usual way that weather events get reported in the media and commented on by politicians, I thought I should report this and note that it is evidence of Global Cooling. After all, if Southwest Connecticut is 11 degress below normal on one day in May, it must mean that the entire globe is cooling, just the same as a tornado in Oklahoma (where tornadoes strike every year in modern memory) must mean that there is Global Warming. And let's not forget the presence of hurricanes in the Atlantic or the Caribbean must mean that Global Warming is accelerating.
The point here is simple. Global Warming was sold to the public based upon computer models which have now been shown not to work. Despite predictions that the Earth would inevitably warm, the air temperatures around the world have not gone either up or down for the last fifteen years. The slower cycles of ocean warming and cooling have continued with a slight rise in ocean temperatures during that time. Through all of this, the level of carbon dioxide in the air has continued to rise, not due to mankind but rather due to gas being released from the oceans (97% of all CO2 entering the atmosphere comes from that source.) After the computer models did not work, the adherents of the Global Warming cult did not change their conclusions; they just changed their evidence. Computer models were out and freak weather events were in. The problem, of course, is that freak weather events have always been part of nature. There have been terrible hurricanes throughout man's existence. There have been freak winter storms, droughts, floods, and the like. Individually, they mean nothing about the global climate.
