Remember a few years back when the global warming crowd predicted that snow would just be a distant memory and winter would be no more? Remember how all the polar bears would disappear because the arctic ice would vanish for good? Indeed, by 2014, we should have been well on our way to becoming a hot planet according to theories of the adherents of the global warming religion. (I call it religion because it is not based on science.)
It is worth remembering those predictions of steamy temperatures and the end of ice and winter at the moment. Right now, it is Summer in the Antarctic, so temperatures should be at their warmest of the year. That makes the current predicament of the climate scientists aboard a Russian cruise ship who are stuck in the ice in the Antarctic all the more humorous. The "disappearing" ice has managed to trap the ship even in the middle of Summer. To make things even funnier, a Chinese ice-breaker on its way to rescue the cruise ship has now also become stuck in the ice a few miles away from its destination. There are more ice-breakers on the way to try to free both the Chinese and the Russian ships, but for now both are held captive by the "disappearing" ice.
Add to this story, the conditions last winter when much of Asia and Europe experienced the coldest winters in recent years with copious amounts of snow and ice. None of that sort of weather was supposed to affect us anymore. In the USA, the last two months have been much colder than normal as well.
None of these events disprove, by themselves, global warming theory. I will be the first to admit it. On the other hand, right now it is clear that essentially nothing predicted by the global warming computer models has happened. Temperatures have held steady for 15 years despite rising amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The variation in the observed temperatures around the world from those predicted is so great that using normal statistical analysis, these observations prove that the computer models are incorrect. There is not a single computer model that has been shown to work.
What all this means is that we do not understand the mechanisms that control the climate of our planet. There are many theories, but no one knows which are correct. We do know, however, that the theory of global warming caused by carbon dioxide released due to human activity is incorrect. I don't expect the White House to issue bumper stickers that say "Al Gore Lied and The Economy Died". It would be nice, though, if president Obama would stop pushing his climate change agenda. Obama is killing the coal industry, raising energy prices for all Americans, choking production of fossil fuels on federal land, and generally squeezing the American economy all in the name of a theory that has been disproven. It makes no sense! What can he do for an encore? Will Obama advocate building a fence at the end of the world so that no one falls off?
