RUSH: Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut. Finally we get to it, ladies and gentlemen. <\/p>\n

RUSH: After two days of delays, we have time to squeeze the update in. <\/p>\n

(‘Ball of Fire\u2019 Global Warming Update Theme Song) <\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s the EIB Network. <\/p>\n

RUSH: One more time, Al, how about it? <\/p>\n

(Song concludes.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. As I say, the Global Warming Stack has been growing on its own. Items keep accumulating each day, and I haven\u2019t had a chance to get to it. I don\u2019t get to it every day because as I say, I don\u2019t want to wear you out on this stuff, but here\u2019s the latest from Discovery.com<\/a>: ‘Planting new trees in snow-covered northern regions may actually contribute to global warming as they have the counter-effect of tropical forests. This according to a study out Monday.\u2019 Tree planting could add to warming. How can this be? Well… ‘While rainforests help cool the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing clouds that reflect sunlight, the dark canopy of Canadian, Scandinavian and Siberian forests catches sunrays that would be reflected back to space by the snow, the study said. <\/p>\n

‘The study, published Monday in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that reforestation projects in the tropics would help mitigate global warming, but such projects would be ‘counterproductive\u2019 in high latitudes. In mid-latitude locations like the United States and most of Europe, more trees would only create marginal benefits for climate change…\u2019 So all you people buying these carbon offsets (mwa-hahaha!) and you\u2019re investing in these companies to go out and plant trees so you can fly your private jets around, you\u2019re contributing to the so-called problem. This is if we accept the premise of totally manmade global warming. ”Our study shows that only tropical rainforests are strongly beneficial in helping slow down global warming,\u2019 Govindasamy Bala, who led the research, said. ‘It is a win-win situation in the tropics because trees in the tropics, in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, promote convective clouds that help to cool the planet,\u2019 he said. ‘In other locations, the warming from the albedo effect (sunlight absorption) either cancels or exceeds the net cooling from the other two effects,\u2019 said Bala, an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.\u2019 <\/p>\n

See, what happens here, folks — let me tell you this in layman\u2019s terms. There\u2019s no snow down there in the tropical rain forests, ever, but there is snow up obviously you get further north latitude naturally. So you go start planting a bunch of trees up there, and the sunlight that reflects off the snow is captured by the trees, and doesn\u2019t make it up there to atmosphere to form cooling clouds, so they say. This whole thing is a crock. People say, ‘It\u2019s science!\u2019 It\u2019s not science. This is not even a ‘moral issue.\u2019 It is a pure political<\/emphasize> issue. Have you heard what\u2019s happened in Cleveland? They\u2019ve had baseball games canceled because of snow. ‘The Boston Red Sox may have to cancel some upcoming games this week because of six inches of snow in the forecast, and with the ground crews still shoveling snow off the field at Jacobs Field, the Cleveland Indians decided it was time to head north to Milwaukee.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got a retractable dome there. ‘The Indians moved their series against the Los Angeles Angels to Milwaukee\u2019s Miller Park after a spring snowstorm wiped out Cleveland\u2019s series against Seattle for the fourth straight day Monday. ‘I thought we were going to move it to North Dakota, but we got Milwaukee instead,\u2019 joked Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner, a native of Sykeston, N.D. The teams will play a three-game series beginning Tuesday in a ballpark that has a retractable roof, unlike Jacobs Field. The opener and Wednesday\u2019s game will be played at 7:05 p.m. EDT, with Thursday\u2019s game scheduled for 1:05 p.m. While a snowy, rainy mix stopped falling Monday, the grounds crew was unable to get the surface in shape after three days of snow. About a foot of snow remained on the field Monday afternoon with workers shoveling it into small carts to be hauled away,\u2019 and of course now everybody is going through the usual contortions, ‘Well, we need to open the season in these domed stadiums and in the West Coast, the southern climes. It\u2019s senseless to have Tampa Bay open up in New York, for example. They should open at home, blah, blah, blah.\u2019 <\/p>\n

The problem with that is that a lot of teams don\u2019t want these extended road trips to start the season, and it all balances out anyway. They tried this in 1996 and \u201997. They actually tried having a schedule that started with all the West Coast teams and the southern teams opening at home, for like a week to ten days and then they all moved north and they still had weather problems. Now, here\u2019s the thing. This is quite normal. It\u2019s quite normal for there to be snow in places like Cleveland and Boston and the northeast in April. I lived in Pittsburgh. I remember a game was snowed out in May in Pittsburgh back in the early seventies. It happens, and there\u2019s nothing unusual about it. What is interesting to me is, that in all these stories about Cleveland moving places — and every ticket, by the way, is ten bucks when they go to Milwaukee\u2019s Miller Park. Every ticket ten bucks because there\u2019s no home crowd there, given the two teams playing, Cleveland and the Los Angeles Angels. That\u2019s really strange. <\/p>\n

Move the games to Anaheim. ‘You can\u2019t do that! That would give the Anaheim team an unfair advantage.\u2019 The schedule is too intricate to do this, but during all of this, I can\u2019t find in any of the reporting on all the snowed-out baseball games anybody in the Drive-By Media questioning global warming. I just can\u2019t. Now, you might say, ‘Well, why should they?\u2019 Well, because of fairness and objectivity, because I will guarantee you, by the time we get to June or July, somewhere it\u2019s going to be unseasonably hot, and we\u2019re going to hear, ‘Global warming! Global warming! Global warming! Global warming!\u2019 and it\u2019s going to never end. Yet when there\u2019s any evidence that would contradict the notion that we\u2019re warming up uncontrollably and to the point of devastation, it\u2019s left out. It\u2019s totally ignored. I\u2019ll tell you something else that\u2019s wrong with all of this and that is the singular notion that there is only one thing associated with warming, and that\u2019s destruction. That is patently absurd, too. Remember the Vikings, Leif Ericson and the gang? When they came across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered North America, they were only able do it because of a temperate climate in that age. <\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t do it today, if they tried, in the kind of ships that they came over on. The seas are too rough. They discovered Greenland. They were going to plant crops. Scotland used to be farmland. It\u2019s not anymore. It\u2019s too cold up there now, but it used to be. These are cycles of warming and cooling that are constantly occurring on the planet. But most people\u2019s historical perspective begins with the day they were born and most people think it\u2019s never been worse in the case of anything, than it is at the time they are alive. I mentioned this yesterday., Newsweek International has a column by Richard Lindzen<\/a>. He is a meteorologist. He\u2019s the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has tenure, so he\u2019s probably safe after writing this piece, but his point is there\u2019s no such thing as a perfect temperature. <\/p>\n

‘The earth is always warming or cooling by as much as a few tenths of a degree a year; periods of constant average temperatures are rare. Looking back on the earth\u2019s climate history, it\u2019s apparent that there\u2019s no such thing as an optimal temperature — a climate at which everything is just right. The current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperature-wise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman\u2019s forecast for next week. A warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the one we have now. Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate. There is no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way, according to scientists at the U.S. National Hurricane Center, the World Meteorological Organization and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (which released the second part of this year\u2019s report earlier this month). Indeed, meteorological theory holds that, outside the tropics, weather in a warming world should be less variable, which might be a good thing.<\/p>\n

‘A warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the one we have now. Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what\u2019s normal for weather and climate.

Indeed, meteorological theory holds that outside the tropics, whether in a warming world should be less variable, which might be a good thing. In many other aspects, the ill effects of warming are overblown. Sea levels, for example, have been increasing since the end of the last ice age.\u2019 Are you listening to this, Rachel? Good. ‘When you look at recent centuries in perspective, ignoring short term fluctuations, the rate of sea level rise has been relatively uniform, less than a couple millimeters a year,\u2019 and I frankly want to know how they measure that. What do you do? You go to high tide, low tide, and medium tide, stick a ruler down there on the beach? I\u2019m being purposely facetious. Measuring sea level? <\/p>\n

At any rate… ‘There\u2019s even some evidence that the rate was higher in the first half of the twentieth century [sea-level rise] than in the second half. Overall, the risk of sea-level rise from global warming is less at almost any given location than that from other causes… Many of the most alarming studies rely on long-range predictions using inherently untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately forecast the weather a week from now.\u2019 Yet people want to believe what they\u2019re told by the National Weather Service wild guess people what\u2019s going to happen in 2040 or 2045. They know not to trust what they say is again happen ten to 15 days out. ‘Much of the alarm over climate change is biased on ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate. There is no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way.\u2019 Speaking of that, Bill Gray <\/a>out there at Colorado State University, really, really just jumped on Algore. <\/p>\n

‘Doctor William Gray, the scientist known as America\u2019s most reliable hurricane forecaster, is calling Al Gore ‘a gross alarmist\u2019 for making the Oscar-winning documentary about global warming…. [F]or someone of Gore\u2019s stature — he\u2019s — quote — ‘a gross alarmist and doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. He\u2019s one of these guys that preaches the end of the world.\u2019 That, Gray says, is doing, again in his words, ‘a great disservice.\u2019 A spokeswoman said Gore was on a [carbon-burning] flight from Washington D-C to Nashville; he did not immediately respond to Gray\u2019s charges.\u2019 By the way, remember how we exposed the fraud and the hoax of that picture of two polar bears that are apparently ‘stranded\u2019 on a melting glacier out there in the middle of the ocean? We exposed this a long time ago. This is an ice floe. It\u2019s made by the sea. It\u2019s a sea sculpture that\u2019s made by the waves, and the polar bears are out there playing, and if you\u2019ve been watching Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel you learn that polar bears can swim 60 to 100 miles. I was amazed looking at the footage. They swim like fish underneath the water. Well, not fish, but they\u2019re swimmers, 60 miles. <\/p>\n

<\/a>There\u2019s no way these poor things could be ‘stranded\u2019 here on this. They weren\u2019t. The whole thing was a hoax, and finally the Australian TV networks have exposed it. So this is not just something contained here in the United States, brought to the attention of this country by me. Now the Australian TV networks are illustrating the hoax involved in this so-called ‘stranded polar bear\u2019 picture, and even in the headline of the story here they uses the word hoax — and that\u2019s what the global warming alarmists do. They use hoaxes. They Photoshop pictures. They do a number of things to frighten you and scare you into thinking that this calamity is already happening as they say it will happen in 2040 or 2050 or whatever they\u2019re guessing.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
