Environmental Vindication?
Another ridiculous BBC article describes the current anti-warming trend in a way that still clings to prophecies of a global meltdown. I fail to understand the "logic" of these mad scientists. Even though scientific data demonstrates that temperatures are going down and will continue to for more than a decade, global warming alarmists continue to espouse un-amended assertions that humans are the cause of warming trends.
I don't trust the accuracy of weather models that make predictions more than twenty years in advance. I have had a few bad experiences with meteorologists. ;)
It is somewhat annoying that Republicans have been stuck with the environmentally apathetic label. This is simply not the case. The Republican Party strongly supports responsible management of our natural resources in order to cultivate a future for our country. The problem is, we want a productive future, meaning we will still have to -shudder- USE some resources. It's the USE part that liberals can't quite accept. It seems that all they want is to block society's access to it's own resources and trade progress for digression. That, my friends, is not the path to prosperity, and it never will be.

Ummm... it's clear you don't understand Global Warming and Global Climate Change events. That's probably why you are so confused.
The OCEANS undergo accelerated WARMING and MELT the ice which raises the sea level drastically - however, the concentration of all this heat energy which is trapped in the oceans reduces the amount of heat in the air which makes the air colder... so the climate actually begins to get colder as a result of this global warming effect.
So in effect - global warming is just the first STAGE of GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE. Global (Ocean) Warming is followed by drastically lowered air-temperatures - perhaps even a new ice age.
Thus - rapid global warming - which was accelerated beyond natural parameters by all the man made pollution caused by the Industrial Age - is just the first stage of the overall GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE effect.
We're very likely headed for an accelerated ice age event - something like what was portrayed in the film THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

Sir Douglas,
I wouldn't mind another DAY AFTER TOMORROW so long as Emmy Rossum isn't starring in it.
