A Significant Event...

...in the Warming Wars: NASA's James Hansen has released the source code behind the software he and other researchers use to "arrive at adjustments to data for the surface temperature record", which data is used to track the long-term global temperature trends that are so important to the whole Global Warming Debate. Warmocaust Collusionists(TM) are claiming victory. However, this puts pretty much all of Hansen's cards on the table. The Denialist camp has what it wants, and will either have to put up or shut up. This is probably their last chance to demonstrate any sort of important shortcomings in Hansen's methodology (their last chance, that is, to totally refute global warming yet again).

A few, having glimpsed the code, are already threatening to set their congressman loose on Hansen, but the most likely result is a whole lot more pointless kibitzing from the usual suspects.

When liberals start talking about stop letting in 200 000+ carbon emmitting immigrants every year I'll start taking global warming seriously.

So, Big City Lib, according to you Hansen and his software are the "holy grail" of data for these wild claims of looming global catastrophe? You groupthink types amuse me. Your leading spokespersons are "silver spoon fed" failed politicians and hollywood celebs. Tell me you can look yourself in the mirror and be pleased with what you see. Al Gore claims to have been concerned about global warming while he was in university in the early seventies. Oddly, the world's climatologists at the time were concerned about the looming ice age. I'm pretty sure there was consensus then and that the science was "settled". Among the proposals to try to correct this weather/climate disaster was to sprinkle both poles with dark powder to attempt to retain more heat. Thank god we didn't do that then and I hope that we don't knee jerk attempt anything now. I suspect that you are really only rallying around this because George W. has resisted Kyoto and the UN.

The Libs don't realize that everytime
they open their mouth
they let out so much
pollution that it makes
thee environment around them even more polluted
then it all ready is!!

All Gore claims he was concerned about global warming while he was in university in the early seventies. Funny he should say that then
why didn't he do anything about global warming when he was the u.s. vice pres.in the 90's? What a joker this
Al Gore is!!

If we have cold weather during any next federal election, you can bet the Canadian voter will ignore so-called "global warming" .. or as liberal lefties like to say "climate change" ... just to make sure they are on the right side of the weather issue.

Really? Can you substantiate that claim?

No, of course you can't. Why am I asking?
