Ok hold on now, Maybe we need to increase global warming! Winter Is Coming!

So it uses natural gas to preheat the water before the sun comes up? Ain't all that "solar" then, is it?

It is the same thing they do with wind turbines. Since the wind isn't constant and the power necessary to re-start them is more than what it produces they have gasoline engines to keep the blades from stopping.
 
Ah, now you've gone and done it, got the Dalai Lama all pissed off.

This Is About As Mad As The Dalai Lama Gets

The Dalai Lama on Tuesday called for action on climate change as part of a newly launched campaign by the Tibetan government in exile, showing support for a strong agreement at the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference in Paris this December.

“There is no other planet where we may move,” the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader said in a video posted on YouTube. “This is our only home.”

“This is not a political matter, not a religious matter, but ultimately [about] the survival of humanity,” he said.

The Dalai Lama has been an outspoken advocate for the environment for years. This summer, he praised the pope’s encyclical on climate change.

Religious calls for action on climate change have been growing in recent years — and have been coming from all corners of the globe. Two months before the encyclical was issued, 100 Catholic and Evangelical leaders ran a full-page ad in Politico Magazine saying there is a “moral obligation” to act, and calling for congressional action. Muslim leaders issued a declaration in August calling for leaders at madrasas and mosques to address the need to help curb global warming.

The Dalai Lama’s video kicked off a government campaign, Tibet Climate Action for the Roof of the World. The campaign “is to urge the international community and world leaders gathering in Paris to recognize the Tibetan Plateau’s importance to the environmental health of the planet and to make Tibet central to global climate change discussions,” the government said.

Last year, researchers found that glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are “virtually being decapitated” by warming. In the nearby Himalayan range, glaciers have shrunk 21 percent in the past three decades.

More than a billion people depend on water that runs out of the mountains in Tibet, the Dalai Lama said. “The projections or serious concerns of projections about the Tibetan environment are not only a concern for people from that area, but for a large number of people on this planet.”

The Tibetan Plateau is the third largest store of glaciers and the world’s largest source of fresh water. The region is experiencing temperature rise three times greater than the global average, the exiled government reported.

Green, Vegan Liberal Sees The Light On Climate Change

A Democrat-voting, tofu-eating environmentalist has written movingly about his conversion to the light on climate change.

My name is David Siegel. I’m not a climate expert; I’m a writer. Early in 2015, I became interested in climate science and decided to spend the better part of this year trying to learn what I could. It didn’t take long before it was clear that there isn’t likely going to be any catastrophic warming this century.

Now Siegel – author of several bestselling business books – is trying to persuade his fellow liberals to follow his example by doing what he did, examining their prejudices and looking at the facts.

To this end, he has written a 9,000 word essay explaining where the alarmists have got it wrong. But he doesn’t hold out much hope: it was rejected by every one of the liberal publications in the US to which he submitted it, among them the LA Times, the Atlantic Monthly, National Geographic and Huffington Post.

Siegel begins with a ten short statements designed to challenge the usual liberal assumptions on climate change. Here they are:

1. Weather is not climate. There are no studies showing a conclusive link between global warming and increased frequency or intensity of storms, droughts, floods, cold or heat waves.

2. Natural variation in weather and climate is tremendous. Most of what people call “global warming” is natural. The earth is warming, but not quickly, not much, and not lately.

3. There is tremendous uncertainty as to how the climate really works. Climate models are not yet skillful; predictions are unresolved.

4. New research shows fluctuations in energy from the sun correlate very strongly with changes in earth’s temperature, better than CO2 levels.

5. CO2 has very little to do with it. All the decarbonization we can do isn’t going to change the climate much.

6. There is no such thing as “carbon pollution.” Carbon dioxide is coming out of your nose right now; it is not a poisonous gas. CO2 concentrations in previous eras have been many times higher than they are today.

7. Sea level will probably continue to rise, naturally and slowly. Researchers have found no link between CO2 and sea level.

8. The Arctic experiences natural variation as well, with some years warmer earlier than others. Polar bear numbers are up, not down. They have more to do with hunting permits than CO2*.

9. No one has shown any damage to reef or marine systems. Additional man-made CO2 will not likely harm oceans, reef systems, or marine life. Fish are mostly threatened by people, who eat them.

10. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and others are pursuing a political agenda and a PR campaign, not scientific inquiry. There’s a tremendous amount of trickery going on under the surface*.

Every one of the statements is evidence-based and supportable, of course, but like Siegel I hold out little hope that they stand any chance of penetrating the liberal-left mental firewall.

In my experience – and I’ve been fighting the climate wars for over a decade – this debate has always had far more to do with ideology than it does with the hard scientific facts, which on the whole are far less helpful to the liberal cause than they are to the conservative one.

Obviously. Trick or Treat is tomorrow night in my town and it's going to be about 60*. Some years they've had to postpone it due to snow.
 
How come we never see China mentioned in the conversation. Maybe it is because their universal response would be go **** yourselves, and buy our cheap ****.

Looks like you're gonna lose one of your most regurgitated talking points... unless this thing hitting a bit to the south in Mexico - and not the US - somehow doesn't count.

Hurricane Patricia: Strongest Storm Ever Measured to Hit Mexico
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather...fic-coast-potential-monster-n449731?cid=sm_fb

Hurricane Patricia became the strongest storm ever measured on the planet early Friday with experts warning it could trigger 39-foot waves along Mexico's coast and "life-threatening" flash flooding.

Several million residents were told to prepare for the "worst-case scenario" as Patricia was expected to race ashore on Mexico's Pacific coast late Friday afternoon or early evening. The tourist magnets of Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo were directly in the Category 5 storm's projected path.

Featuring 200 mph winds, the U.S. National Hurricane Center described Patricia the "strongest hurricane on record" in the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific Basins.

Well......duh.

It may be that the point of the statement, stick with me here, is that the GWA (Global Warming Alarmists) were all up in everyone's grill about how these huge storms were going to intensify and be hitting more and more often. Then they didn't. Rather than admit the alarmism was wrong and, possibly review their models to see if anything else might be wrong, in full GWA fashion, they began to explain how "Climate Change" caused my man-made CO2 emissions made less hurricanes hit land. Duh.

We are all a bunch of dumbasses being led to the slaughter and cheering on the wolves.
 
Still no land-falling storms hitting the blessed US of A...........God hates Al Gore, and Mexico
