There is no such thing as global warming, in the way that Al is trying to say it is. We had bad and warm winters, hurricanes, droughts, etc,etc, before modern technology. The left just needs this, it's not real.

Thus, the tsunami was clearly the result of racism.
Clever play of race card in the above.

They just can't stop their fear mongering, even when they are totally discredited.

Oh yeah, we've heard that "thin ice" theory before, haven't we?
But just think how much faster it would have come back if only Al Gore and his bank buddies had been able to sell more carbon indulgences.

Many people believe that mere observation of something in Nature alters an outcome. It's a wacko theory that sounds ludicrous. (I'm not sure but it could from Scientology - but I could be wrong)

Anyway, here goes.........

The climatologists studied (observed) the past climate 'history' in tree rings, air trapped in bubbles, etc.

So, they caused the currently accepted (by them) 'climate change' by observing data.

Had they not 'observed' that data, we wouldn't be having this 'climate change'.

So, it's their fault, right?

Actually, that comes from quantum mechanics. In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, a system stops being a superposition of states and becomes either one or the other when an observation takes place. Ever heard of Schrödinger's Cat? That is according to Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen's 1935 article, but hey, what do they know, right?

Climate changes all the time, and today is no different. Except that some idiots are trying to blame humans for changing the climate so they can make a quick buck and get more government control.

Amazing they actually think humans can effect the Earth's climate.

It makes sense that if you are that high up on a mountain and there is precipitation, the precipitation is snow. It must be the wet season there....

When to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and the best time of year to go

Quote:
Expect the average temperature to be colder and there to be a lot of snow about.

The article doesn't say Kilimanjaro got its snow cap back; it says there has been one snowstorm. One snowstorm (for three days) says nothing on whether snow is leaving Kilimanjaro overall. It could melt later, snow again, etc. Year to year averages would be more useful (or smoothed over multiple years)

And btw, Kilimanjaro never lost its snow cap. It has gotten smaller though.

THAT makes AGW a myth.
No it doesn't. Global warming means that we would get more above average temperatures and less below average temperatures.
