Global Warming, Part DV

imageimageHere we go again. If the Wacky Left and the Al-Gorebots can take a snapshot of climate data and proclaim “global warming”, then I can do the same thing, right? Europe is freezing and under several inches of snow and it isn’t even December yet. It must be “global freezing” and we need to do something about it before this radical climate change wipes out civilization as we know it. Hurry! Go buy an SUV! Build more coal-burning power plants before it’s too late!

Actually, the Enviro-Wackos will tell you that the Gulf Stream is being diluted with fresh water from the melting Arctic regions and the Greenland ice cap, thus causing the Gulf Stream to shut down and stop carrying warm water North, which keeps Europe warm in winter. Not entirely true. It turns out that the Gulf Stream is only a small part of the overal global climate picture (DUH!). The weather in Europe is also drastically affected by conditions in ... the Rocky Mountains.

When will the Green-Heads learn that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, as far as our knowledge of the Earth’s monstrously large and complex climate system goes. The creatures that walk on the Earth have only minimal effect on this huge system. You might as well say that dinosaurs became extinct when all that dinosaur flatulence released into the atmosphere increased the methane levels so high that the Earth cooled and they became extinct because of too much farting. Al Gore would like to convince you that is true and we’re next ....

Early Winter Brings Chaos to Europe
November 26, 2005, 5:02 PM EST
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP)

An early winter cold spell brought heavy snowfall to parts of Europe over the weekend, paralyzing public transport and roadways, toppling trees and cutting electricity to tens of thousands of households.

Ski slopes in Belgium and Germany opened early after as much as 8 inches of snow fell overnight into Saturday in some countries, while in Paris, the Eiffel Tower closed to the public for four hours after a morning snowfall made it too slippery to climb.

In the Netherlands, high winds and sudden freezing temperatures caused havoc on the national rail and road networks. Hundreds of stranded Dutch commuters spent Friday night in temporary Red Cross shelters at train stations, theaters and more than a dozen other locations.

With more than an inch of snow falling per hour and winds up to 100 mph sweeping in off the North Sea, road traffic officials reported the worst gridlock in the country’s history, with hundreds more people sleeping in their cars after waiting up to 10 hours alongside highways.

Both Belgium and the Czech Republic reported car crash deaths. For some, the chilling winds brought an early winter treat as ski slopes opened in the Belgian Ardennes region and hilly central Germany.

In Britain, 500 vehicles were stranded by snow storms on a remote moor in southwest England, police said. Devon and Cornwall police said rescuers in four-wheel drive vehicles were gradually evacuating people from a closed road.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
