James Spann used to be a weatherman in the Birmingham area when I lived there several years ago. He is very good at what he does. When he made a forecast, you could count on it every time.

I read his article yesterday and he is spot on with it We know where the money is going, I would like to know where it is coming from.

The DUmmies at the Democrat underground agree with Heidi Cullen that any meteorologist who does not buy into the Global Warming orthodoxy should be decertified.

Global Warming Becomes Democrat "Science" Orthodoxy

*"The climate of this planet has been changing since God put the planet here."

Well, argument null..... he's gone all supernatural-space cadet on us. He must also believe that females must leave the camp during menstruation, Noah built a boat for 2 butterflies, 2 elephants, 2 grubworms, etc, AND that Adam and Eve road a dinosaur to church on sundays.

Just typical of the lefty ideology of we'll give you your opinion when we think it is good for you.

Good to see someone along with other preeminent climatologists are calling out Algore and his crews' hypocrisy, such as Algore's property in Tennessee being a wherehousing facility for hazardous material.

Neil Cavuto had a meterologist and a representative from Greenpeace on to discuss this today on FOX. In the course of the discussion the meterologist said he did not buy into the "man made" theory of the current weather phenominon. The rep. from Greenpeace said the woman at the Weather Channel was beyond reproach (paraphrasing here), and said the meteroroligist was not a "Scientist" and could not say anything about global warming.

Bottom line........when asked about the creditentals of the guests the Greenpeace spokesman was ................wait for it.....an ECONOMIST!!!! What a hoot!!!

James Spann will be on Hannity and Colmes on Monday, should be a good one.

Maybe the Weather Channel's expert propagandist would like to match her credentials with Dr. Weiss of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, past President of the Royal Astronomical Society, and a scientist as honored as they come. He says that the science about global warming is anything but settled, except for one virtual certainty: The world is about to enter a cooling period. Dr. Weiss believes that man-made greenhouse gases have recently had a role in warming the earth, although the extent of that role, he says, cannot yet be known. What is known, however, is that throughout earth's history climate change has been driven by factors other than man: "Variable behaviour of the sun is an obvious explanation," says Dr. Weiss, "and there is increasing evidence that Earth's climate responds to changing patterns of solar magnetic activity." The sun's most obvious magnetic features are sunspots, formed as magnetic fields rip through the sun's surface. A magnetically active sun boosts the number of sunspots, indicating that vast amounts of energy are being released from deep within. Typically, sunspots flare up and settle down in cycles of about 11 years. In the last 50 years, we haven't been living in typical times: "If you look back into the sun's past, you find that we live in a period of abnormally high solar activity," Dr. Weiss states.

These hyperactive periods do not last long, "perhaps 50 to 100 years, then you get a crash," says Dr. Weiss. 'It's a boom-bust system, and I would expect a crash soon." In addition to the 11-year cycle, sunspots almost entirely "crash," or die out, every 200 years or so as solar activity diminishes. When the crash occurs, the Earth can cool dramatically. Dr. Weiss knows because these phenomenon, known as "Grand minima," have recurred over the past 10,000 years, if not longer. "The deeper the crash, the longer it will last," Dr. Weiss explains. In the 17th century, sunspots almost completely disappeared for 70 years. That was the coldest interval of the Little Ice Age, when New York Harbour froze, allowing walkers to journey from Manhattan to Staten Island, and when Viking colonies abandoned Greenland, a once verdant land that became tundra. Also in the Little Ice Age, Finland lost one-third of its population, Iceland half. The previous cooling period lasted 150 years while a minor crash at the beginning of the 19th century was accompanied by a cooling period that lasted only 30 years.

In contrast, when the sun is very active, such as the period we're now in, the Earth can warm dramatically. This was the case during the Medieval Warm Period, when the Vikings first colonized Greenland and when Britain was wine-growing country. I do believe a team of Japanese scientists have come to the same conclusion...Of course , the MSM + Al Gore + cows produce all the flatulent heat needed to keep the earth's temperature on the rise.

An interesting quote I found.

"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world."
