Good news...and bad news...

THE GOOD NEWS:

Apparently global warming isn't worth all the hype it's been getting. According to a news article from this past Monday, there is more snow cover right now than in any time since 1966. Also this past January had record cold temperatures and the average temperature was cooler than the entire 20th century average.

"And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its 'lowest levels on record'? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.

The ice is back.

Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year.

OK, so one winter does not a climate make. It would be premature to claim an Ice Age is looming just because we have had one of our most brutal winters in decades.
But if environmentalists and environment reporters can run around shrieking about the manmade destruction of the natural order every time a robin shows up on the Georgian Bay two weeks early, then it is at least fair game to use this winter's weather stories to wonder whether the alarmists are being a tad premature."

Hahahahaha I thought that was hilarious!

THE BAD NEWS:

Scientists have just nailed down when the world will end. Apparently we're going to be absorbed into the sun after it becomes a red giant in 7.6 billion years. But don't worry. Scientists have figured out a strategy for saving us. They say if we can just tame an asteroid and have it swing by our planet every few thousand years, it will be enough to slowly nudge our orbit farther out into space and allow us to avoid getting absorbed by the sun. Good luck with that. Let me just say I'm glad I have a God to believe in instead of some scientists who are trying to tame an asteroid.
