Anchorage: "Coldest Summer EVER"

Wait, I thought Alaska was just experiencing a "normal cool" summer?

First, we were promised a warm winter at the hands of global warming. It didn't happen; as a matter of fact, the opposite happened. Then we were told that global warming would rush spring, the west was warming too fast, and that the cold spell we've been experiencing was merely "brief" and would soon be replaced by more warming. Poof! Like a dissipating CO2 cloud, these predictions vanished into thin air after an antithetical reality set in. Alarmist climatologists, however, held on to hope that they could recover their rapidly shrinking reputations.

Other former alarmist scientists have COMPLETELY REVERSED THEIR ONCE FIERY BELIEFS, and now they face the same persecution that they once doled out to their braver colleagues, who courageously stood up, cried foul, and were lambasted for it (and still are).

Some climatologists, however, saw the writing on the wall and tried to issue revisionist predictions on the climate (La Nina would now "mask" global warming for 10-20 years, LOL!). This was all done in an attempt to save face, protect reputations, and institute damage control, while still keeping the pipe-dream of CO2-induced warming alive.

Even this article below engages in all sorts of damage control (I've bolded those portions)! We see “La Nina” below, as well as the oft-sited “IPCC.” This is what alarmists do to keep the AGW fart aloft; they throw around "PC" words (“IPCC” and “consensus”) that are designed to explain-away contrary empirical and scientific evidence and silence legitimate debate and criticism. They even attempt to hold on to the already thoroughly debunked "stronger hurricane" theory that Al Gore loves so much.

Many of the original IPCC member scientists are actually skeptics and have denounced the IPCC’s reports, and there’s NO SUCH RULE THAT A "CONSENSUS" IN SCIENCE IS DEEMED UNASSAILABLE (real science has nothing to do with any consensus). Don’t believe that maverick thinkers are usually proven correct in science? What about Einstein, Darwin, Hawking, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, and the list goes on? These are all scientists who bucked the consensus of their day.

Other former alarmist scientists have COMPLETELY REVERSED THEIR ONCE FIERY BELIEFS, and now they face the same persecution that they once doled out to their braver colleagues, who courageously stood up, cried foul, and were lambasted for it (and still are).

And so we see that this summer is continuing the COOLING TREND we've seen over the past 10 years, which means global warming IS NOT OCCURRING AND HAS NOT OCCURRED, especially as a result of CO2 (CO2 has gone up while temperatures have gone down).

What is clear is that the Earth warms and cools within the bounds of natural climate cycles THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ARROGANT HUMANS who think they can somehow affect this overwhelmingly powerful planet. We are nothing to this planet except another insignificant species. Even if we destroyed ourselves with every last nuclear weapon on Earth, the Earth would eventually recover and life would go on (our Earth's archeological record has shown this to occur many times naturally).

Gloomy summer headed toward infamy

CHILLY: Anchorage could hit 65 degrees for fewest days on record.

The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say.

Right now the so-called summer of '08 is on pace to produce the fewest days ever recorded in which the temperature in Anchorage managed to reach 65 degrees.

That unhappy record was set in 1970, when we only made it to the 65-degree mark, which many Alaskans consider a nice temperature, 16 days out of 365.

This year, however -- with the summer more than half over -- there have been only seven 65-degree days so far. And that's with just a month of potential "balmy" days remaining and the forecast looking gloomy.

So are all bets off on global warming? Hardly, scientists say. Climate change is a function of long-term trends, not single summers or individual hurricanes.

Last year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that it's "unequivocal" the world is warming, considering how 11 of the warmest years on record have occurred in the past 13 years.

So what's going on in Alaska, which also posted a fairly frigid winter?
