Where Is Your Global Warming Now?

First of all, Fox News so far has not reported on this so they get no brownie points yet. But they better hurry up and get a story up about this.

Yesterday a buddy of mine called me up and sarcastically told me he was going to go ahead and start believing in global warming because he woke up and it was snowing...in April...in ARKANSAS!!!

I used to live in Arkansas and it was fairly rare that we would even get a flurry in the dead of winter. I had to check this out. Yesterday was pretty cold here in Alabama so I checked the weather service records. This message came out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service:

RECORD EVENT REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
710 AM CDT SAT APR 07 2007

...RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE SET AT HUNTSVILLE...

THIS MORNING...THE LOW AT HUNTSVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WAS 25
DEGREES...AT 647 AM. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 27 DEGREES...SET
ON THIS DATE IN 1950. IT HAS ONLY BEEN THIS COLD OR COLDER THIS
LATE IN THE SEASON TWICE BEFORE...ON APRIL 15TH 1943...AND APRIL
13TH 1940.

Apparently this isn't the only record we're breaking around here. Go here for the information.

Now all you global warming junkies might just be saying that I'm pin pointing one or two remote incidents and trying to downplay the dangers of global warming. You'd be right. I'm doing exactly what the media does to try and create fear with the global warming myth. For example, a few weeks back an awful tornado ripped through Enterprise, Alabama. As I was flipping through the channels that night I noticed that it was the headlining story for CBS News with Katie Couric. After the weatherman went through the process of what happened, Katie asked the inevitable media prodded question. "Does this have anything to do with the effects of global warming?" she asked the poor guy. He answered no, that this was just part of how the earth works, and moved on quickly knowing he would not be on good standings with CBS's producers for not creating fear and panic which is their norm.

After the hurricanes in 2005(including Katrina) there was all this hubbub over global warming. 'Scientists' claimed that we would have at least 17 stateside hurricanes the next year because global warming was really taking effect. Guess how many we had last year? None. ZERO.

The point is, warming and cooling are, as Sean Hannity likes to put it, just part of earth's natural ebb and flow. Let's open our eyes and educate the people around us and stop this myth before it takes control of more people's lives.
