Br-r-r

As we roll up to Christmas, it is interesting to note the following:

1) The worst winter storm in decades has battered 1/3 of the country, with another on the way

2) The Eurotrain from Britain to Europe has been shut down indefinitely, due to severe winter weather

3) Almost all of Europe is being battered by the worst winter weather in over 30 years

4) Several volcanic areas throughout the Pacific "Ring Of Fire" are showing activity, most notably the one in the Phillipines. The last "little ice age" of the 1500-1850 era was triggered by such volcanic activity. Now imagine how much worse that ice age would have been if the people had reduced the natural warming of the Earth, as the global warming nuts want to do.

When I couple these news items with the fact that the last 11 years have actually been cooler than "normal", I find it amazing that so many people can keep a straight face as they declare that global warming is going to end life as we know it.

And it astonishes me that amid all of this, the President of the United States of America goes traipsing off to a climate change conference, espousing global warming trends that are not evident, and begging to give our wealth away to corrupt third-world nations to appease them, and to redistribute America's wealth to those who would use it against us.

But even more amazing is the fact that so much of the world is so fanatical about a perceived warming that writing this article is even necessary. Frankly, if given a choice between having to suffer 60 degree weather in winter, or 40 degree weather in summer, I'll take the heat, thank you very much. Throughout history, human activity progressed and prospered much faster during the warming periods, and human populations were decimated during cooling periods. We should put our efforts into insuring the Earth does not cool because if history and geology tell us anything, they tell us that there will always be another ice age in our future.
