According to an article in the local paper, some guy is concerned that certain migratory birds are arriving in the area sooner than expected. He attributes this to man-made global warming, or climate change, depending on circumstances. This dude has way too much time on his hands.
Birds don’t make reservations for their accommodations, so they pretty much show up whenever they please. Most of the shore birds I’ve observed in this area are pretty laid back. Laughing gulls, for example, seem to prefer snatching French fries or pizza crusts from unsuspecting people strolling the boardwalk, rather than actually catching a fish. Maybe that’s why they leave along with the tourists. Maybe this guy is used to birds with OCD, such as the swallows that return to Capistrano with punctuality, at least for the movie.
The GLOWARMS, or Global Warming Alarmists, will point to anything in attempting to justify their nonexistent claims. Just the other day, I saw one pointing to a fire extinguisher, and shouting that it was responsible for releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I engaged in my own pointing by pointing out that the whole idea of the device is to release carbon dioxide in order to put out a fire, which would release even more CO2 if it were allowed to continue burning. Not to mention the fact (not theory) that carbon dioxide is NOT a harmful greenhouse gas, so I won’t.
A few weeks ago, some supposed scientists said they spent the summer measuring Arctic sea ice, and that in 10 or 20 (or maybe a few million) years, the Arctic Ocean will be an ocean, or words to that effect. It has happened before, during the time of the Vikings, and they’re still around, living in Minnesota.
Now the UN and the EPA are attempting to get us to believe in man-mad climate change, while ignoring the fact that thousands of emails prove that the numbers have been fudged. They claim that this will be the warmest decade ever, even though temperatures have steadily dropped for the past two decades.
Anyway, these experts claim that the melting sea ice will raise water levels, and New York City will become a modern-day Atlantis. Not so. Sea ice is already floating, and its melting will not raise water levels at all. Land-based ice could raise sea levels, if the ice thawed, at least theoretically, but there’s a lot of water in the connected oceans. The real threat is not from melting ice, but from building cities below sea level, protected by inadequate dikes and levees. Yes, as in New Orleans.
These people tell us we’re going to have too much water, and in the same breath, tell us water is disappearing. Neither is true – we have the same amount of water we’ve always had – it just shows up in different places at different times.
They’ve expanded their search for water to the moon, and claim they’ve found it. A news report stated that Perrier and Evian are now engaged in a rocket-building race. Can the Arabs be far behind? Actually, the water is presently in the form of ice, but it will soon melt due to man-made lunar warming. Or is it climate change? I’m not sure.
Speaking of not being sure, why is it that it took about six years to figure out how to put people on the moon, using now antiquated equipment, but the second time around will take more than twelve years?
