The EPA isn't shutting down coal- fired stations because of particulate like fly ash, or anything like that... the EPA is shutting them down because the emit CO2, which the EPA classified as a dangerous pollutant and the D.C.circuit court recently ruled that the EPA's efforts are ok... think they have power problems on the East coast right now, due to the storms? Just wait- blackouts will become the norm nationwide, but just think how we'll be saving the earth.

For every coal- fired generator we shut down, the Chinese are building twenty.
The "watermelons" (green outside/Red inside)are in control.

Temps have been flat- lined for about 15 yrs now. There has been no statistically significant trend for temps ranging either up or down.

The ultimate goal of those behind the warnings about Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change is to reduce the human population. Listen to the environmentalists long enough and they will eventually tell you of their plan. The thing is, they are more and more open about what their ultimate aims are and our POTUS is not only completely on board with the whole idea, but has packed his administration with some of the most virulent and dangerous of the true believers.

Weather is cyclical. When I was in grade school, there wasn't a winter that I didn't get a few days off from school because of the snow. When I was in high school, the winters seemed milder, and we might get 1 day off a year because of snow. When I was in college, when we got snow, it was more of a nuisance. Then winter started to hit with a vengence. It would snow and stay on the ground for months because it was so cold. We would have record snow falls for our area. Then it slowed down again, but just 3 years ago I went for 9 days without power because of a bad ice storm, and the snow wouldn't melt off my driveway.
Man made global warming is a farce created by the left to gain control of power distrabution.
I hear lefties say burning wood is ok for the environment, but it almost killed a friend of mine who was working in Kosovo. He was in a village in a valley, and everyone heated with wood. He got a serious lung infection from the smoke that hung in the valley. Yet coal is supposed to be bad for the environment. Isn't coal just ancient wood that has been compressed by the earth. I mean, how much chemical change can take place to make it so bad?
I also notice that temperatures are recorded in cities, where heat is stored and generated by vehicles, industry, buildings, and roadways. I check the temperature when I leave work in town, and when I get home in a rural area. The temperature at home is almost always 6-10 degrees cooler than in town.
Records that are broken are usually 50+ and sometimes 150+ years old, when industrialization of cities was far less than today. I think a more accurate comparison of record temp.s should be made from temp.s in very small towns in rural areas.
If you really want to compare global temperature changes, it should be made from areas away from cities, since cities have their own micro climates.
As I see it, any real temperature change is controled by that big bright ball in the sky, as it does get hotter and cooler in cycles that are unpredictable.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Still we are not breaking many of the records from 1911,1932-1936. If it were gradually getting so much hotter these records should have been shattered long ago. 
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

I was reminded yesterday that the 1937 flood followed the 1936 heatwave.

Its been around 115 out here in southern Nevada. Its going to thunderstorm this weekend; the weather report says itll get down to around 103 maybe 100.

Its dry heat at least, it is almost never humid here so it makes the heat not so bad. Strangely though, I did catch fire this morning when I walked outside...
Easy come easy go

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

[/QUOTE]Yes, it basically is true. There hasn't been a statistically significant trend during that time... if anything, there is a slight downward trend. The temps we are experiencing are neither unprecedented or infrequent.

I can provide links to back up anything I say about the climate.

You will often find facts in the mainstream media, but not often, truth.
Facts are not truth. Facts are merely facets of the shining diamond of truth.
