Plan for Global Warming: Bite the dust

Posted May 05, 2007 5:34 PM

From Sacramento Bee - Business:

Say 2080 comes around and the climate-change doomsayers have turned out to be right. Greenland is half-melted. Coastal cities are starting to flood. California's reservoirs have all but dried up. It's time to bring out the big guns. In a bombardment of the skies, battleship artillery blasts millions of tons of sulfur dust into the stratosphere. It deflects enough of the sun's rays to cool the planet by a few critical degrees. In a flourish worthy of Superman, the sweaty planet is saved.

This planet has been in a constant state of flux from early on after it's creation. Now there was the ice age, no? I think we needed a little warming up, for North America anyhow! The measurements these doomsdayers are relying on are not consistantly acquired. The preciseness has only been around for, what, 100 years...maybe. The accounting for the past when we were dealing with a global cooling...how come that is no longer being heard. They had evidence for that too! Well folks, it's all about control, and a world government dominance. The economy, the laws of the land(s), the form of government, the religious factions, and yes even the environment must all be taken into account in order for the powers that be to control us, the masses. Weather is just another tool for those in the likes of the United Nations organization to achieve it's aim, which is global dominance. It has been tried before. The Romans and the Nazis just to name two have tried. They did not have the resources that are in place now to sustain and develop the end product. (although I do say that Rome did a marvelous job, and if it were not for the moral corruptness, they might have sustained it) Now with the ability to control the news media and the means in which to disseminate it to the 4 corners of the earth, using banking, wars, laws, environment, terrorism,etc....We will see a ramping up of the fear in people to make knee jerk decisions, based off of nothing more than the fear that has been injected by those that are coming into power, so that they can control us even more.

The results and what culminates, and for what end, is anyones guess, but to answer back to the gentelman that proposed the big 2080 debacle...it's all about the money, the power, the control...

I am never more amazed than when unqualified people get in the public arena and make totally unqualified remarks that people pay attention to them because the news media has glorified them and all of a sudden the sky is falling and a bunch of folks run around like a chicken with it's head cut off!!

My deceased father was a meteorologist with the air force for 35 years and saw weather all over the world and was one of the most respected forecasters in the Air Force. Many times he commented that the wobble of the earth ,the shifting of jet streams,reversal of magnetic poles and the fauna of the oceans can and do shape our destiny and we as humans have little or no control over what will transpire in our future. He said that the weather has set cycles that vary from the planet as a whole to specific zones. some zones may have a 7 year cycle some 14 the heating and cooling may be a 10,000 year cycle.

If Mr.Gore degree in journalism makes him a climate expert I must be missing something

and how come the national news media failed to give the PBS response to his sham of a movie any press time-Yes there is extreme bias-anybody seen chicken little lately or has he change his last name to Gore!!

Well Dr.Tom,

Now that you mention it...Al Gore and Chicken Little...YES, I see the resemblence! I also see the lemmings following right behind. To be serious though...it is a shame that people in general do not do a little more investigating on their own, instead of letting the radio, television and newspapers do the thinking for them. I see massive amounts of liberty and freedom being stripped away in the name of safety and "Global Awareness". Global warming..yes, global cooling..yes. The ebb and flow of this wonderful planet continues on. One tiny little volcano can, and has, disrupted the so called "norm" for the planet, and effected weather patterns world wide. It makes the human element puny in comparison!

I'm sure the penguins won't mind a warmer antarctica. I'm tired of seeing that big chunk of ice anyway on the map anyway. Just imagine what we could discover under all of that ice if it was gone. Somebody should pose as a scientists and meet with Al Gore to tell him how the poles are going to move 90 degrees and that antarctica will then be at the equator along with the midwest united states, while Australia becomes the new north pole. If that actually happened then it would mostly be water at the poles and it would free up a little land. Then I could wear shorts all year from my location.
