Global Warming Flip Flopping

First they said that there would be a catastrophically huge number of hurricanes this year, then they took it back. Now they say that there will be unbelievable bunches of wildfires caused by global warming. Now they're saying that global warming is causing too many cyclones.

Besides, global warming has meant fresh cauliflower is available in Greenland.

Senator Inhofe gave a historic speech last week on the floor of the Senate, that spoke truth to global warming believing environmentalist wackos:

In conclusion, I would simply point out that climate alarmism has become a cottage industry in this country and many others, but a growing number of scientists and the general public are coming around to the idea that climate change is natural and that there is no reason for alarm. It is time to stop pretending that the world around us is headed for certain doom and that Kyoto-style policies will save us - when in fact, the biggest danger lies in these policies themselves. As I have noted, new studies continue to pile up debunking alarm and debunking the very foundation for so called "solutions" to warming.

I know this was a long, long speech, but I just want the real people, not the money driven liberals and the Hollywood elitists, but the real people who are out there raising their families and working hard to know that help is on its way and that all the UN and media driven hype to sell American down the river will fail.

And that truth, as Winston Churchill said, "is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is."

But, the narrative has been decided by the MSM, who are (as Ace says), The Deciders.

Hydrogen fuel does not much help the environment, even if leftist environmentalists claim that it does.

The Truth About Hurricane Katrina

See Wizbang for an excellent set of Katrina analysis and why New Orleans flooded. They have the video taken by New Orleans firefighters as the 17th street canal floodwall was actually in the process of breaking during Katrina, and links to information that counters most of the conventional wisdom of why the levee system failed and the city flooded. You must see this video. Paul at Wizbang writes:

The bottom line is, Katrina’s storm surge did not wash the wall away. As you may remember, water had been seeping under the floodwall at the break location for about a year before Katrina. The ground under the levee was soaked and ready to give at any moment…

New Orleans was doomed with or without Katrina, we just didn’t know it. A good high tide puts more water in the canal than this. As the video shows, the water was barely higher than normal levels. The walls could have failed on a decent high tide.

And for a total mind blowing topper he says:

What I will say next will probably completely throw you. Katrina saved probably over 50,000 lives.

That levee was doomed. If it had failed without notice, the death toll would have been measured in tens of thousands. There would be no evacuation, no preparation, no Feds at all. (such that they were anyway) no Coast Guard in choppers etc. Tens of thousands of people would have been dead in hours and tens of thousands more would have died on 120 degree rooftops waiting for rescue. It would have been unimaginable. – More unimaginable.

“Luckily" –and I groan when I say that- Katrina allowed the city to be evacuated.

Man, oh man-read the whole thing.
