Let it snow, let it snow

I like snow, but this is getting rediculous. Eight inches here, ten inches there and it is only December. I can't wait until the snowy season of February and March roll in.
Imagine that, we elect Barack Obama, and Global Warming has been solved!
Which brings me to the real topic of today's blog entry...The Global Warming Myth!
You read that right, Global Warming (GW) is one of the biggest hoaxes ever portrayed. The so-called Theory is at best, nothing more than someones guess. We have no way of knowing what the average temperature was 200 years ago, 500 years ago, 1000 years ago.... We do know that the earth did warm over the last 100 million years, otherwise we would still be under a 2 mile high sheet of ice. The earth warms and cools in natural cycles. There is no way human activity can have an effect on global temperatures.

I read a neat story this last summer ( I can't recall where I read it from) about a village in the Swiss mountains. They were concerned that GW was causing a glacier on one of the mountains to melt. When the glacier melted back, the villagers found a cave in the mountain. In the cave they found tools (picks, shovels,hammers...). It was a working silver mine dating back to the mid 1400's. Apparently, every spring the glacier would melt, opening up the cave and the villagers would mine all summer. Winter would come and close the cave with snow. One cold spring, and the glacier did not melt, until this year. Are we in the midst of a 600 year cycle?
While I do believe in conserving energy, recycling and reducing emissions; we must do them because it is the right thing to do. Not because if we don't the ice caps will melt and flood the earth. I've heard this story since the early 1970's. In grade school, I recall a text book with an artist rendering of New Yok by the year 2000. It depicted the Statue of Libery under water, with just the crown and torch above water. It's 2009 and Lady Liberty is high and dry.
