National Propaganda Radio, much to my amazement, ran a story yesterday discussing how a NASA study of ocean temperatures for about the last 5 years shows that the oceans have cooled slightly in that time.

Of course, they can't accept the possibility that climate change goes in cycles and that we might be in for a bout of global cooling...something that more than a couple serious scientists suggest may happen due to the lack of sunspot activity.

Instead they quote someone saying that global warming "may be on a brief hiatus".

They also make one very misleading statement when they discuss rising ocean levels when they talk about the rate of glaciers melting in Greenland and Antarctica. First, Greenland's ice loss is much slower than they'd like you to believe. But more importantly, Antarctica, which holds 90% of the world's sea ice, has been gaining mass overall fairly consistently for many years, especially in its eastern part, even though some parts of the much smaller western part are melting at the edges.

It's going to take a little longer, and they may cause a lot of damage first, but at some point global warming alarmists will be revealed for what they really are much in the same way that Barack Obama has been revealed in recent days.

Ross,


I am rather surprised at your complete ignorance on this subject.

As most educated people are aware, Anchiale is in charge of warmth but she is a young and petulant Titan and frequently needs her rest.

It is not at all unusual that she would take an unannounced 'hiatus' and otherwise go missing for a bit allowing a cold chill from Zeus to prevail for a while (he is frequently known to get cold during the winter months and take out his dissatisfaction with this condition on the world of men by making them likewise feel his chills).

Rest assured that Anchiale will return after the aforementioned 'hiatus', and resume her catastrophic fiery warming of the world. She is very dissatisfied with our use of fossil fuels to warm ourselves artificially in her stead.

Please stop posting such nonsense....

Mike, you and Ross are both misinformed idiots.

Global warming is real. It is caused by the alarming world-wide decrease in pirates who, for generations, had been maintaining the Earth livable.

Please see this shocking graph: href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FSM_Pirates.png for more information.

Unless we can get world-wide coastal patrols to stop persecuting these beneficial beings, the world as we know it will end.

Freak.

Ross: If warming takes a hiatus, the warmers will simply claim that, absent AGW, it would have been even COOLER.
