Half the earth in an ice cube-Global Freezing & Global Warming
Hot Weather Gives Fire to Global Warming Comments. Freezing Weather Gives Ice to Global Cooling Comments
If you think about it both sides are proving most climate change is cyclical. I have to admit that I am guilty of joining the parade of global freezing commentary when the weather turns cold. But then the cyclical pattern kicks in and sure enough the weather becomes warm again.
When record cold temperatures and snow accumulations were being reported in the United States, early January record heat was being reported in Australia. And within the same countries record cold and hot temperatures are sometimes recorded on the same day. So what does all this climate change mean? It is climate changing just like climate has always changed.
Consider This
Anthropogenic or man-made global warming has contributed to climate change in some small amounts. Professor Mojib Latif is one of the worlds leading climate modellers. Mr. Latif is from the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at Keil University in Germany. Latif studies temperatures and ocean currents and how they relate to cyclical weather patterns.
Professor Latif stunned the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change by announcing a predicted cooling trend. Being a fellow member of the IPCC the news did not set well with the global warming community. One of their own global warmers told the world we are entering a global cooling period. Now look at what happened next.
Many of the anti global warming crowd misquote Professor Latif making him look like he is a global warming skeptic. Mr. Latif specifically said. And everyone who knows me knows that I am definitely NOT one of the skeptics. If my name were not Mojib Latif my name would be Global Warming. From this comment we can easily ascertain that Professor Latif believes in global warming but is level headed about the reality of global cooling trends also.
Personally, I am More of a Skeptic about Climate Change than Professor Latif
My belief is more on the order of Professor Patrick J. Michaels of the Cato Institute. I just do not like people being misrepresented, like Mr. Latif, so others can prove their own agenda. Even Professor Michaels does not believe global warming is a total hoax. And neither do I. It is obvious to these two experts there is some anthropogenic warming but it is to the extent of what degree.
There Lies The Difference
And this is why there are lies and distortions. People are grabbing onto parts of news and information that fits their way of thinking while totally ignoring facts that do not. Icebergs are melting over here. Well, their growing over there. Balance is what we need and this why it is good to see blogs and websites that represent this balance. With the latest news global freezing and global cooling have won this round of fighting. But wait 10 to 20 years or sooner when the cooling trends may reverse.
