Global Warming
Scientists tell us that there is NO global warming. Oh thank god. I know I will sleep better at night.
But.. Lets just say IF there was such as thing.. Which couldn't be possibly happening because the scientists say so, and our fearless leader does too... But if there was such a thing.. What would the model be?
But before we do that lets just put our head around a closed system that has a temperature increase. Temperature is energy so we can assume with some certitude that in a global warming model there would be an increase in the violence of weather events. Ok so due to the circulating currents in the Pacific and Atlantic there will never be a simple average rise in temperature in a global warming model. Various areas of the planet will be warmer or drier or wetter or cooler depending upon where they are.
So the models that I have read predict the following. Circulating currents in the Pacific will create "El Nino" and "El Nina" effects with increasing frequency and alteration. The East Coast of the US will be wetter overall, with longer winters and cooler more wet summers. Western and Central Europe will be much warmer due to the Atlantic heating up and depositing lots of warm air over it. Hold it.. This sounds vaguely familiar.
Boy I am SO glad there is no global warming....
I feel so much better especially since our fearless leader has declared to the world that there is nothing like that happening so the largest user, producer and polluter on the planet will keep going business as usual. He told us that adhering to the Kyoto accords would hurt the US economy. Common bub, could ya hurt it anymore than your administration has already?
Again the REAL reasons behind that refusal (you do remember that right? Before the Twin Towers incident?) was so his well paying buddies in the Energy business would not have to get down and start being responsible citizens of Planet Earth.
No chance in Hell
Picked up the Economist (no I still haven't renewed my subscription) yesterday to read at lunch. Although they are much more conservative than I, they are often very insightful with American Politics. Seems that the Centrist Democrat is an endangered species. And the Dems are about to take that long walk in the Wilderness unless one comes along.
Energising the "faithful" is the arugment that Dean supporters use to say how they are going to win the White House. Poppy Cock. 33% of America describe themselves as Democrats, the worst % since the new deal. AND 35% of Democrats consider themselves "liberal". (By contrast 65% of Republicans consider themselves conservative). If you energise the Right the Republicans win of course. If you energise the LEFT..(and alienate the Center) the Republicans win. Energise the CENTER and we win. Its that simple.
So NO Mr. Dean. You have some great ideas, but you are the Walter Mondale of the 21st Century for the Democrats. Time to start supporting Edwards or Kerry or a Edwards Dean ticket my fellow Dems. Or we are going to see the White House in Republican hands for not just 4 but maybe 8 or more years.
An ya know what's really pathetic? Only 45% of Americans think we are headed in the "right direction". 39% think the Economy is headed in the "right direction". And only 48% of the voters think Bush should be re-elected.
WAKE UP WAKE UP
