To Al Gore, With My Regards To Global Warming

Yep, cooked data.  Guess where the thermometers they are currently relying on to get the temps are  located - in cities, at airports, etc.

In other words, HEAT SINKS. Concrete jungles, over macadam at the airports, etc.  I remember reading about the change of locations of the thermometers in the mid 80s. - away from greener areas to 'more easily accessible areas.'

I'm also old enough to remember my grade school teachers (early 70s)  preaching at me about us heading into the next ice age shortly, how acid rain was going to kill every lake and all our lawns by 2000, and how the fuel supplies would also be exhausted around that time.

You must be one of those right wing Extremist racists if you remember that 30 years ago they were saying exactly the opposite of what Fat Albert says now.
(I give FQ crap about this but I can't resist    )

You might also remember the scandal about "decorator colored toilet paper".  The Tree Hugers of that era shamed everyone into using white paper because the dyes used to color the paper was poisoning the water supply.  After everyone started using only white, they found the water quality actually declined due to the bleach used to make the paper white.

Also, you will recall that Veggies and Fish were full of Goodness...except for fish like salmon, cat fish, and the other fish that were full of fat.  Same with the veggies...stay away from broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage cause, in a betrayal to all things good, those veggies were loaded with fat.

Now, of course, those are the fish and veggies very highly recommended because of the very beneficial effects of the fats they contain.

Seems like lots of folks need to have a "cause" for some reason.

FIFY

Technically cities produce heat, a heat sink absorbs and eliminates heat. But your point is right on the money.

Someone please send Mr's Gore's rocket scientists over to my place so they can explain to me why I have an acre of frost boil that used to be my driveway!

I was informed today that I have a semi coming in on Monday morning to pick up half a load of pork ... 75 head of 270 pounders.

I tried leveling the ruts they left last week when they took out 20 head with a pickup, and the tractor just made things worse.  After giving up I put the tractor away and walked across ... the waterbed that used to be solid crushed rock    Honestly, it was like walking on a six inch think piece of firm foam rubber.  There has got to be one H**L of a chunk of ice within a foot of the surface out there ... And it has been sunny, breezy, above freezing nights for a week and a half, and in the upper 60's to as high as 75 during the day for two weeks  

Well ...

The semi arrived at 7:15 AM, and an hour and a half later he still isn't backed up to the barn.  Empty trailer was a great idea, because the trailer axles are fine.  However, all three tractor axles are sitting on the gravel, and the trailer is still twenty feet from the chute.  They have one field tractor here and just left with the pickup - my guess is to get another tractor.

I'm going back to work.  Lots of hard pulling with chains in the mud brings back memories I'd prefer to leave lost

I've always taken with a grain of salt doom and gloom claims made by people who stand to make millions or even billions of dollars if the sheeple buy into their bullshit.
