"I now know what -47 feels like"

I got this message from my cousin in Chicago this week. I wonder if Obama plans to give any major speeches on global warming in the Midwest anytime soon. If anyone anywhere still believes in that tripe, they may be tempted at this point to gas up the SUVs and drive around in circles. It was only fifteen years ago that temperatures dipped well below zero in West Virginia. I lived in Huntington at the time and remember my car freezing up for almost a week. Even if I could get out, my little rear wheel drive sports car would simply flail on the snow and ice covered roads until it got hung up somewhere.

If you listened to the global warming people at the height of their movement, this winter was not something we were ever supposed to see again. The uncommonly warm winters we saw there for a few years were supposed to be permanent. Interestingly enough, when the earth showed signs of cooling, some scientists rushed out to claim that colder temperatures resulted from global warming. That just does not meet the smell test.

Fact is that Arctic ice has extended back to the levels of the supercold late 1970s (when Newsweekinsisted that carbon emissions were causing an ice age.) Polar bear populations have grown in larger numbers than expected. All is right with the Great White North.

Global warming has been exposed for what it always has been, a front for neo-Marxists to curb capitalist development. Unfortunately the tide of Democratic success swept some of these people into the Congress and Executive Branch. The so-called climate czar supports taxing American prosperity heavily and redistributing it to Third World nations. This individual feels Americans live too well.

Now more than ever America needs the GOP to stay strong.
