In the past 24 hours I have heard two reports about how the world temperature has fallen drastically in the past 12 months. The four major monitors of temps (of which NASA is one) claim a decrease of 0.65 to 0.75 degrees during the past year. They say the drop is enough to offset all the global warming of the past 100 years. Perhaps this explains why the snow cap on the North American land mass is thicker than at any time during the past 50 years.
The sun's activity or lack of activity seems to be the culprit just as some of us laymen suggested previously. Who know for sure since there are billions and billions of variables.
Perhaps Al Gore can start an insulation business, hmmmmm?

"Super" or "Stupor" Tuesday?
Well, it came and went just like everything else. What some people called "Super Tuesday" other people called "Stupor Tuesday." And what do Americans have to look forward to after this past tuesday?
On one side we have John McCain. On the other side Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are sparring for domination of the Democrat Party, the party of the New and Old Left, and the party of numerous Washington special interests.
So it appears voters will be forced to decide between McCain and either Clinton or Obama. McCain is the "Dole Syndrome" candidate. That is, it is McCain's turn to lead the GOP in the national election of 2008 just as it was Dole's turn to lead the party in 1996 because Dole had put in the time and effort in the party trenches. His reward was the candidancy. History repeats itself in 2008.
On the other side there is little policy differences between Clinton and Obama. With Obama comes a smile and cheerfulness. With Clinton voters get the same issues, the same policies and ideas, but with a brooding negativity. Whereas Obama is a new face, voters are familiar with the bobbing head of Clinton. Obama promises to surrender Iraq to al Queda ASAP while Clinton promises to take more time to surrender. (Why doesn't a media type ask Obama and Clinton what will happen in Iraq and the Middle East after we surrender?) Both candidates promise higher taxes, more federal interference in our lives, more socialized medicine, more federal control of education and of other aspects of our lives.
As to McCain who knows what policies and ideas he will espouse. Perhaps it depends on how he feels each day. McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts - cuts that fueled the econonic recovery after 9-11 and the corporate scandals. McCain now says he wants to make the tax cuts he opposed permanent. McCain opposed securing our borders and supported with Teddy Kennedy giving million of illegals amnesty (a rose by any other name is still a rose), and authored a law gagging political speech. And McCain has bought into the Global Warming scam which in itself is enough to oppose him, but only if there is a more logical choice (there isn't).
What is a voter to do?
McCain or Clinton/Obama?
Voters must determine which candidate will do the least amount of harm to the nation - always a critical factor in my voting.
More to come.
