Global warming skeptics have reveled the last few years in climate change rallies and events occurring at venues or towns experiencing colder than normal temperatures as well as late season snows.
It goes without saying that one of the funniest was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-California) visit to Europe in April to discuss global warming with various European leaders just when parts of the continent were hit with some of the latest snows in history.
With that in mind, it would be only fitting if Live Earth concert goers around the world were greeted with sub-average temperatures as they come together to draw attention to the planet’s imminent doom caused by global warming.
The first concert began Saturday in Sydney, Australia, with temperatures fitting in perfectly for AGW skeptics looking for a chuckle (put down your soft drinks and coffee):
High of 53, low of 43, with an historical average daily high of 62 and average low of 43.
Gotta love it. So, the first Live Earth concert to warn the world about global warming will occur in temperatures almost ten degrees below normal.
Fabulous start for skeptics with a sense of humor.
Let’s see how things are setting up elsewhere:
Toyko saw a high of 78, a low of 71, with averages for this day of 82 and 70.
Marvelous. Two for two:
- Shanghai made the alarmists happy, as temperatures soared into the mid-90s a good nine degrees more than normal.
- Yet, Johannesburg, South Africa saw temperatures about three degrees below normal.
- Hamburg, Germany concert goers also saw cool temperatures as highs only got into the low 60s well below the historical average for this day of 70.
- London concert goers saw normal temperatures at Wembley Stadium around 70.
- The same is true in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where temperatures Saturday will reach normal highs of 79 degrees.
- In East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the New York concert will be held, temperatures will get into the high 80s about six degrees above normal, but well below the all-time high for the day of 96.
Add it all up, and the Live Earth concerts designed to draw attention to global warming averaged a high temperature slightly below normal for this time of year.
Anybody want to bet that if this issue is even addressed, only the above average highs in New Jersey and China will get reported?

What is the piint of all this
July 7, 2007 - 09:49 ET by Gat New YorkWhat is the piint of all this? You have a menagerie of new and old artists from different genres getting wordwide exposure with whatever songs they have. They are using an enormous amount of energy to put this on between stage producton, broadcast, travel and hospitality. The television broadcast is free and not pay-per-view. And I don't see a tote board adding up dollars raised. So what's the point? My guess is: (1) Al Gore's ego and (2) great exposure for new or has-been artists. But zero to do with this so-called climate change stuff.
They even have one group all bundled up on an Antarctic glacier with penguins (not dead).

July 7, 2007 - 14:08 ET by Seabeach4348Yeah I read an article the other day that said the penguins are now in danger of dying off in Antarctica because the glaciers are melting (even though they're not).
Obviously the stranded and soon-to-be-drowning polar bear tommy-rot earlier this year flopped, so now the Goreites need to throw penguins into the ever-growing list of AGW casualties as the lastest propaganda. And it's Bush's fault.
Also didn't you know that rock bands and Hollywood dopers have a better bead on things than the average Joe, and that we should listen and learn from them just because they are, well, "stars"? Just ask 'em they'll tell ya.

AGW and the MEDIA
July 7, 2007 - 09:06 ET by pbthinkerThe Media will carefully skirt any issue that does not conform to the template, which includes below normal temperatures. Let's face it, the media, for the most part, has been absent on the many fallacies being presented by the AGW crowd.
Here, in South Florida, we are suffering from the media created hysteria concerning this subject. Last year, when the media had played up the fact that we were in for another terrible hurricane season, our Water Management District decided to lower the level of Lake Okeechobee, because of an approaching Tropical Storm which, it was feared, would cause some damage and would raise the level of the Lake. With all the expected storms, to come after this, it was feared they would not be able to keep the Lake at a safe level, hence their decision.
Well, as many know, we didn't have the hurricane season predicted so, as a consequence, Lake Okeechobee is 5 feet below normal and it's created a small crisis here, since we depend on the lake for water supplies, during the dry season.
There is little doubt, in my mind at least, that this decision was made based on the hysterical predictions of the hurricane forecasters, prior to last years hurricane season. Had the Water Management District been more conservative, there would have been no shortage of water here and, what the media has played up as a severe drought, would have been a normal dry season. There has been little mention of this in the Palm Beach Post,( my guess is they wouldn't want any linkage to this decision and the fearful predictions of the previous year) but it does strain credibility that they wouldn't ask the Water Managers if these predictions didn't play a part in their decision.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

It is pretty clear now that adherence to the theory of AGW is not based upon science. Several major problems have been demonstrated with the theory. Yet contrary to the scientific method which at that point would require the exploration of alternative answers, Al Gore, James "Just another 10 years" Hansen and the rest cling ever more tightly to their cause.

Another interesting thing about this trip was the appearance of black flies this late in the season. I've never seen black flies in July in this part of the country. The locals told us that black flies are normally gone by May. But, because of how cool it's been, there they were.
One guy who's lived there all his life -- probably about 35 I would guess -- said he had never seen black flies there on the 4th of July. Normally way too hot for them.

Very frustrating… tried to cut and paste portions of the Garamendi email, but was unable to post… Anyhow, after asking me to sign the pledge to help solve the world’s climate crisis (e.g., turning out the lights when I’m not using them), John made the following appeal:
Let’s use this moment to pledge our support to solving the climate crisis. Just as important – let’s ask everyone we know to join us as part of this movement. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
A final note was:
Not paid for at state expense
Paid for by Garamendi 2010 (Lt. Governor), ID# 1292888
I don’t know about you guys, but the mere mention of Gandhi makes me swoon.
Ah, paid for by his campaign

Gandhi? Wasn't his cause was a bit more substantive and clearcut than Al Gore's?
However, undoubtedly when you next go into the voting booth, Maggie, you will see Mr. Garamendi's name, think Gandhi (hey, they both start with "Ga"! how handy is that!), say to yourself, "ohhh!", and vote for Mr. Garamendi.

It's just terrible when a global warming event is disrupted due to the cold.
