Time to Get Gore-texed Up

The short, powerful video by Mr. Bastardi who says the above line, complete with lots of Algore-refuting graphs, showing we're as cold as it was in the 1970s when Newsweek's cover was about the coming mini ice age. I remember that well. As a youngster I liked to regale the adults, Lisa Simpson style, of what the "experts" were predicting.

Culture changes, folks. I think we've learned from Chan who has been outstanding on this, that the global warming movement is a charade.

My local weather website says it's 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit with the windchill. I'm actually disappointed as I'm one of those crazies who like to cover his body with the latest clothing technology and brave the elements. When one don't have an inch of flesh exposed in proper arctic clothing, one doesn't even feel it. But after below -25 to -35 I start to get worried--which is why I'm terrified of hiking Mt. Washington during a cold snap like much of the country is experiencing.

UPDATE: Ross Kaminsky at Human Events has an excellent blog posting, "Global Warmists' Mouths Frozen Shut."

It all leads me to believe that this issue is the greatest boon for small government types since the fall of communism. I remember as a subscriber to Conservative Chronicle in the early 1990s, a Townhall.com on paper--a collection of conservative commentary from syndicated columnists--how guys like Walter Williams and Paul Craig Roberts (now a little off the reservation with his paranoid anti-Israel stuff) referenced mainstream college economic texts and highly regarded liberal economists and their projections of the strength of the Soviet economy. It briefly opened up a wonderful teaching moment in the morass that's American education. The idea that the bien pensant view among the MSM elites of the day was to tout the socialist state's economy when it was so obviously moribund was precious to say the least.

It's too bad Republicans are the stupid party and can't drive home the killing stroke when the opening's there. I almost used another French expression coup de grâce.
