February, 2018, Part 1, I Am A Believer In Science and A Global Warming Doubter: Sandwiches Are Bad, The Sun Is Bad, and Hillary is Just Plain Zany

Every month we have enough material to return to a continuing theme in this blog, namely that “I am a global warming doubter AND a believer in science.” This became of interest because of people like Al Gore who fanatically and verbosely claimed that you had to be an idiot to not believe in manmade global warming. It has been my life belief that anyone that is that loud and that obnoxious is hiding something, that rather than argue facts and reality it is better to beat down and insult anyone who disagrees.

As we have dove into the whole issue of manmade global warming, or its new rebranded title of climate change, we found that Al Gore and people like him were guilty of a number of things:
  • Ignoring science and realities that did not support their opinions and positions.
  • Rather than have an adult conversation about climate, these types of advocates like Gore sank to the level of insulting those who dared look at ALL science by calling them a variety of names including racists, homophobes, terrorists, flat earth believers, and other slanderous names.
  • Continuing to insist that politicians step up their intrusions into our lives with higher taxes, more regulations, and more control of our freedoms and standards of living based on a shaky theory at best.
To see the past posts and the multitude of evidence that we have compiled that showed it is perfectly okay to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, enter the phrase "global warming doubter” in the search box above or go through the monthly historical posts listed on the right side of this page.

Thus, let’s see the latest facts and science that prove you can be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, regardless of what Al Gore proclaims.

1) I always find it interesting that people that have no science background think they are valid scientists. The most obvious examples are people like Al Gore and Barack Obama. To that list I would like to add Hillary Clinton who recently had some really, really bizarre words when it comes to the her views on climate change:
  • She was recently on a panel discussion at a university where a question on climate change came up.
  • Someone either intentionally, most likely, or unintentionally, gave her the ridiculous set up question is whether or not women would suffer more when the climate changes.
  • She responded that it is absolutely, not conditionally, not maybe, not probably but ABSOLUTELY true that women will “bear the brunt” of climate change:“Women around will be looking for the the food, the firewood, the place to migrate to when all of the grass is finally gone...and will be primary ones burdened with climate change.”
If this was not so sexist it would be hilarious. Yep, Ma’s out moving the cattle, foraging for food, chopping the firewood, churning the butter, etc. while the guys are just drinking beer and watching the game. Seriously, are you kidding me? Of course, she offers no rationale, research, or anything of value to support her claim that women around the world will have to handle most of the “burden” of climate change. Ridiculous.

Of course during the course of the interview she has to get in her opinion that global warming, a phrase that most climate change advocates dumped years ago when all of their climate models failed miserably, when she mentions how the soaring temperatures in northern Africa are causing something she called “desertification.” Again, no data presented to justify her claims that mankind’s activities are causing either climate change or global warming.

The interview clip can be viewed for yourself at:


2) Let’s review an article on the Constitution website by Andrew West on January 19, 2018 where we find out that both NASA and Einstein agree that the long term future of the Earth is not global warming but global cooling. But before we get to NASA and Einstein, let’s review and add to some realities that global warming/climate change advocates always seem to be bouncing off of:
  • Extra wet winter? Must be climate change.
  • Extra dry winter? Must be climate change.
  • Extra cold winter? Must be climate change.
  • Fewer, calmer hurricane seasons? Must be climate change.
  • More, less calm hurricane seasons? Must be climate change.
You get the idea. It must be great to believe in a theory that you can change whenever realities do not work out to your current theory.

Okay, let’s get back to NASA and Einstein:
  • NASA recently released a press release that claimed that research, and Einstein’s theories prove that the Earth is facing a long time global cooling trend.
  • According to the press release: “As our sun gets older, it’s losing mass, and so its gravitational pull becomes weaker. As a result, the orbits of all the planets in our solar system are expanding, not unlike ‘the waistband of a couch potato in midlife. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Maryland and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has shown that the aging sun is behaving according to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The key to testing his theory? The planet Mercury.”
  • The release went on to say: “Einstein’s famous theory accounts for the fact that the gravitational fields of huge objects—like the sun—warp the space-time continuum around them, according to Gizmodo. Because Mercury is the planet in our solar system closest to the sun, its orbit is the tightest.”
So long term, the sun will be giving off less heat and the Earth will be moving away from the sun, making it even colder. Another reality to contemplate in the total global warming/climate change discussion, a discussion that we now have to add global cooling if Einstein and NASA are to be believed.

3) Let’s wrap up today’s discussion with another loony theory from a global warming source. In the past we have reviewed any number of wacky theories about what is causing global warming including, but not limited to, the theory that beavers building dams are a significant source of global warming. But possibly a more inane theory was covered by writer David Szondy, writing for The New Atlas on January 25, 2018:
  • Believe or not, scientists from the University of Manchester have blamed, wait for it, sandwiches, for helping cause global warming.
  • According to the article, “The researchers carried out an in-depth audit of various sandwiches throughout their life cycles and found the triangular meals could be responsible for the equivalent annual carbon emissions of 8.6 million cars in Britain alone.”
  • Yes, quite possibly the most popular meal in the world is an evil global warming creator!
  • The researchers studied 40 different sandwich types and analyzed such factors as how these 40 sandwiches are made, packaged, transported, and stored.
  • The researchers found that different types of sandwiches have “different carbon footprints” depending on what goes into them and how they are stored.
  • The researchers estimated that changing recipes and packaging while could reduce sandwich carbon emissions by 50%, as if anyone really cares about the carbon footprint of sandwiches.
It gets crazier and crazier. Imagine how much lower the carbon footprint could go if we ate NO sandwiches! Or if beavers did not build dams! How can one have an adult conversation with these folks when everything in their perception and world causes global warming and climate change.

So what did our global warming climate/change discussion teach us today: sandwiches are bad, the sun is bad, and Hillary is just zany.
