People by the hundreds of thousands have died in the cyclone that has devastated Myanmar. Former VP Al Gore thought this would be a good time to blame global warming. Al never misses a chance to miss a chance to appear sympathetic.
And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated. And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.
Apparently, Al didn't get the memo about the ARGOS deep ocean buoys that show unequivocally the ocean to be cooling ever so slightly, but cooling nevertheless. Dr. Josh Willis noted in an interview with
National Public Radio,
"there has been a very slight cooling" over the buoy's five years of observation.
"Actual observations," says Investor's Business Daily,
"trump computer models and as we learn more about the Earth we start to realize how puny and irrelevant man's contribution to climate change really is."
Not all the young, pretty people are fooled by Al Gore and his travelling snake oil show. BeautiJunki commented at
Sugar,
"did cyclones occur before global warring in south east asia? could this just be mother nature??? This is a terrible tragedy and in a country suffering under the thumb of a horrible government and we need to concentrate on helping the victims now who are in despair."The life of Indigo Red is full of adventure.
