GlowBall Warming.....
it won't go away.

Yet another “report” from experts is coming out on Glowball Warming. No, not AlGore with An Inconvenient Truth II. It’s a study by;

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will publish its report, the most complete overview of climate change science, in Paris on February 2 after a final review. It will guide policy makers combating global warming.

Sounds interesting. Let’s take a brief look at some of the findings.

The study, by a panel of 2,500 scientists who advise the United Nations, also says that dust from volcanic eruptions and air pollution seems to have braked warming in recent decades by reflecting sunlight back into space, scientific sources said.

Read that again. Please. It says that dust from volcanoes and air pollutants are good things IF you are concerned about Glowball Warming. The pollutants block the sun rays and reflect them back in to space. Yet later in the article it states

The report says it is "very likely" -- or more than a 90 percent chance -- that human activities, led by burning fossil fuels, are to blame for warming since 1950.
The previous report in 2001 said the link was "likely", or at least 66 percent. Lingering uncertainties include whether higher temperatures will bring more clouds -- their white tops bounce heat back into space.

Well, which is it? Doesn’t burning fossil fuel create air pollution? So……are the volcanic eruptions and air pollution braking Glowball Warming or not? If Air pollution brakes Glowball Warming then would it not follow that more air pollution could stop Glowball Warming? More volcanic eruptions…ditto! Then we have "lingering" uncertainties .....what if those big puffy clouds come back and further block the suns rays?

Yet, where is the logic that flows through the scientific approach? The conclusions defy logic. Perhaps there is another reason. Maybe it is political?! Maybe it is an attempt to explain away the most common deflector of the Glowball Warming argument. Volcanic eruptions. A single volcanic eruption emits pollutants at a magnitude far beyond anything man is doing. It makes AlGores global private jet hopping benign. The Glowball Warming crowd needs to explain this but they can’t. So they adopt the theory that volcanic eruptions and air pollution are good. Why not? Logic is not a factor.

So, if we accept this premise shouldn't California relax its environmental regulations? Let’s get those cars out on the highways. Build more highways! Abolish public transportation. Everyone must own an SUV.

So, in conclusion, the same crowd that cannot tell you or I what the weather will be next week with virtually any degree of certainty is releasing yet another report telling us what the weather will be years in the future. Logic be damned.
