Once again (as happened last winter in Scandinavia) most of Europe is undergoing a bitterly cold winter that is shutting down communications and transportation and even killing people.
Now, a few years ago when the "Global Warming caused!!!" heat waves to hit France and Britain, the story was front page, above the fold and the first 3 minutes of every nightly newscast in America.
The cold-wave currently gripping Europe and that which virtually put Scandinavia into an Ice Age last year (and killed HUNDREDs across northern Europe and into China and across to Canada), if you learn of it at all, will be noted in some tiny blurb at the back of local papers and not at all on the newscasts.
Why?
Well, because bitterly cold (but cyclical) temps, just like the approx. 20-year hurricane cycle do not bode well for monstershouting on the left that the end is night due to Global Warming. Indeed, Global Warmingists in the media stayed away from the US National Hurricane Center, where it's director was futiely attempting to tell the world that we were simply seeing the peak of the 20-year hurricane cycle last year.
Those libs not shrieking that GW Bush has a hurricane machine in the basement of the White House that he aims at po' black folk, were shrieking that the increased hurricane activity and increased hurricane strengths (both explained by the NHC as part of a very well-known cycle) that the hurricanes were a sure sign of Global Warming and that Bush had better sign Kyoto to stop them!
Of course any Global Warmingist worth his fleece will now shriek "localized periods of COLD weather are ALSO a sign of GW!"
Ah. So it seems that we need only look to the weather to prove GW: if it's hotter than "normal" it's Global Warming! Colder than "normal"? Global Warming? About the same? Global Warming!!!
Now you know why NONE of the senators signed up to support the Kyoto Protocols.
Those who voted to support the treaty? ZERO! That's right........even the liberals who scream about global warming in the Senate were not foolish enough to actually back Kyoto..........
Kyoto's entire intent is to crush the American economy.
I am not sure how that's going to help the "environment."
But of course, every lefty in the country is screaming "Bush is destroying the planet by not signing Kyoto!!!!" I can't imagine that 300 million Americans stripping the countryside of anything that'll burn and filling the sky with woodsmoke after we are 3rd-worlded (as is the intent) by Kyoto will help the environment. Maybe some shrieking ecocommunist lib can 'splain that one?
Yeah...didn't think so.
-- shouldn't the US as the leader of the free world be a good example? How can we tell developing coutnries to conserve energy if we use by far the most energy per capita and also produce by far the most CO2?
