Who knew?

From Jan. 25, 1989:

After examining climate data extending back nearly 100 years, a team of Government scientists has concluded that there has been no significant change in average temperatures or rainfall in the United States over that entire period.

Of course, this is before those same scientists began cooking the books in the service of expanding government power.

That was before Al Gore discovered how useful a political issue it would be. The Dems are seen to be more environmentally aware. What better way to frighten the uninformed masses into voting for the Democratic party.Peter

No Bob O'H. Global warming, when it does happen, is caused by a multitude of factors that include solar activity and gases in the atmosphere like water and CO2. Carbon as a single cause is simplistic and cherry-picked. It's the perfect storm to stir up irrational, socialist mobs, like those routinely seen at climate summits. The CLAIM that current average temperatures are higher than any trend in human history, and that it's catastrophic for the planet is supported by book cooking. That is needed because of the lack of actual convincing evidence.bb

This just goes to show that progressives are at heart, liars. Not even science, the thing they hold out as their ideal, can be withheld from being used as a political slut. Andrewasauber

The thing about global warming or cooling is that it could always be way warmer or cooler somewhere else and how do we know, especially if the books are cooked? The a-crock-a-lypse could always be happening somewhere else. Also, what do the stats even mean? Where I live, the daytime temperature can be 30 degrees Celsius but the nighttime temperatures plunge to, say 16 degrees or even as low as 12 degrees Celsius in August. The a-crock-alypse just wouldn;t have time to get started. Good news: We don't really need to run an air conditioner. Just leave the windows open at night and close them in the morning. Bad news: if we are marketing a local a-crock-a-lypse, we need to explain why it is unwise to put all the warm blankets in mothballs in the summer time. ;) Climate A-Crock-Alypse To Cost Millennials Trillions?News
