The Thousand Year Global Warming Reich

The ingenuity of global warming alarmists never ceases to amaze me.

I mean, where do you go after you've said that

a) the earth is warming,

b) the earth "has a fever",

c) the earth "is on fire",

d) "we have five (eight, fifteen - whatever) years to save the planet,

and we face

e) massive flooding of coastal areas,

f) death of untold numbers of species,

g) increased tree mortality rates,

h) the melting of the Arctic and Antartica,

i) increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes

j) the traumatic death of hapless ice-flow polar bears,

j) extinction

AND IT'S ALL OUR FAULT !!!!

and people still aren't willing to hand over their their wealth, their lifestyles, and their futures to the scientific-social-political elite?

How about a 1,000 year global warming reich, and dust bowls. That's right, dust bowls, like right out of the 1930s.

The damaging effects of climate change are now declared to be "irreversible", according to the Ms. Susan Solomon of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who defines irreversible as lasting a thousand years.

She also poses the threat of US 1930s-style dust bowls across specified parts of Europe, Africa, North America, and Australia.

“This aspect is one that is poorly appreciated by policy makers and the general public and it is real,” said Mr. Trenberth, who was not part of the research group.

No, it is not "real". It is a prediction. It is only as good as the reliability of the prediction. And futuristic climate science is a very imprecise science indeed; driven not by objective science but to at least some extent by rapacious funding grants, egos, and anti-western ideology -- we have been very, very bad people to invent the internal combustion engine and to develop and use gas to drive our cars and coal to fuel our homes and electrical generation plants to provide a comfortable life -- we should be punished.

The research in Ms. Solomon's report was supported by the Office of Science at the US Department of Energy. And was done, we should remind ourselves, during George Bush's tenure in office.

Which should be enough in itself to entirely discredit the report in the minds of many.

And that's the way the bowled-over Ball bounces.
