Wooops.  Missed That One Too

Remember the hubub this summer when we were told the Arctic ice cap had just about melted away?  It would surely be gone by 2040? 

This article was link by Gateway Pundit.  What a great read.

You know what these global warming screamers and worry warts remind me of? Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. Oscar would be the temperamental character with a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior according to Oscar’s psychological profile that was psycho-analyzed recently. Yet, people would run around and use the latest news like how the Arctic ice saw massive melting of ice this year that worried even a few scientists to no end. Even to the point of blaming anthropogenic global warming for the rapid ice melting even though past history through millions of years Arctic ice waxed and waned when humans never existed who couldn’t have contributed carbon dioxide. Still, some worry warts were bold to predict that there would be no ice in the Arctic ocean by 2040 and some say even earlier! But at the same time these same worry warts continue to ignore (or most likely don’t know) recent history as far back in 1903 as far as record keeping goes the North Pole’s ice were never always completely covered and that ships made out of wood were able to navigate across a portion of the Arctic ocean through the Northwest Passage.

The changing ice conditions in the Arctic are poorly understood by scientists. Now they have to contend with the fact that from late October into early November of this year (2007) the Arctic had a record-setting pace of re-freezing of ice!

...according to the NASA Earth Observatory. Some 58,000 square miles of ice formed per day for 10 days in late October and early November, a new record.

Welllll, I’ll be durned! Record re-freezing of ice! Now what will these scientists say about that? And for the Northern latitudes (that’s us and all the way up to the North Pole for you Santy lovers) winter is just barely getting started and the freezing will continue in the Arctic ocean until Spring.

This is all about the media’s ability (with nods from their political friends) to manipulate public perception since they are basically an easy and ignorant lot to begin with.

I hate it when reality gets in the way of a good theory.  Go read the rest, he’s got quotes from Micheal Crichton, Tim Ball and others that are not to be missed.

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

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
