In the freezing foothills of Montana, a distinctly bitter blast of revolution hangs in the air.
![]() |
And while the residents of the icy city of Missoula can stave off the -10C chill with thermals and fires, there may be no easy remedy for the wintry snap’s repercussions.
The temperature has shattered a 36-year record. Further into the heartlands of America, the city of Billings registered -12C on Sunday, breaking the 1959 barrier of -5C.
Closer to home, Austria is today seeing its earliest snowfall in history with 30 to 40 centimetres already predicted in the mountains.

First post deleted. Second attempt:
Climatology is a complex field, and you can’t just say that it’s cold in Missoula this year, therefore there is no global warming. There are natural cycles in the earth’s temperature, and it looks like we’re on a temporary downswing, likely caused by the Pacific decadal oscillation (look it up). This does not refute global warming. In fact, one of the predictions of global warming is more extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. The Missoula data point actually supports the global warming theory.
If you look at historical data, you will notice that 1943 was a record high for the earth’s average temperature. After that the temperature dropped, and did not pass the 1943 figure until 1981. From there it continued its upward trend. We might be seeing the same sort of stall in global warming we did from 1943-1981, due to natural variability.
It is important to separate science from politics. Globabl warming is a fact, just like swine flu is a fact (it exists). It’s the government spin that we should be worried about. The debate should be about what an appropriate response is. The government is very opportunistic and likes to scare people, increase its power and give money to the bankers and corporations. I find it likely that this is happening with global warming, and this is what we should be talking about.

Increasing warming is not caused by CO2, the left wing simply wants to bring the corporations down because thats what makes us in the West so strong, our money.

Wes – Try find some science that factors in the actual dynamic source of energy input known as the Sun. It is a very bright star that our planet revolves around, and it is responsible for every single ice age that has occurred and every tropical warming period also.
I believe that ‘Listen Here’ said ‘there is NO MAN MADE global warming’. To which he/shi is correct.
If we are going into a cooling cycle then I believe a little excess CO2 will be a beneficial thing. Not that I don’t aggree we are entering into a Mass-extinction event which is evident from the dissapearance of marsupials and anphibians, BUT ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX MY FRIEND. All about a carbon tax and global enslavement….Why don’t YOU try reading; THE RIGHT BOOKS THAT IS!!!

the moon is a space ship that’s why there is one side of the moon we never see.
its been there long before earth. it contributed to the extermination of life on mars. and its about to do the same here on earth.
never liked the moon, until a few years ago i could not explain why i hated it.
now that felling i always had that made me angry for no reason. i now understand. the moon is a recon base for a EBE. hey illuminati dudes reading this. they aint gona spare you. they gona rape us all. do as you wish… but if humanity don’t fight back NOW. we will be exterminated.
they came here for genetic materials. after they got what they need. they will wipe us out. just like on mars.
the hole nwo fight is a big diversion. the real thing we need badly is being ready for war as humans vs aliens. not humans vs humans.

Last 2 posters are correct.
Although it appears weird that only one face of the Moon faces the Earth constantly it is quite explainable…but I do believe that there IS some weird shit going on with the Moon. The actual size af the Moon in comparison to the Earth is quite extraordinary, and can be expressed using Golden Geometry. Check out the following link, this site doesn’t look like much but the person that put this together knows his/her shit, because this is sacred geometric knowledge (The same knowledge that the high level Freemasons would like to keep from the general public);
http://www.geocities.com/david.....ramid.html
And if anybody wants a great read about the weird shit going on with the Moon PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read Dark Mission – The secret history of NASA. This info made me think very differently about the whole UFO and NAZI connection.
The UFO’s that are frequently seen are not Alien but Human creations. they have possessed Zero Point energy and gravity technology for the best part of the last century – This technology is just reserved for the elite.
NASA and the elites would prefer the general public to THINK these strange technologies are Aliens because it diverts attention away from themselves. It also puts fear in the heart of the public (100’s of Alien movies where the Aliens are our enemies) so the public will look to the government for protection. Just another form of Hegelian Dialectic.
- Problem(Aliens)
- Reaction(Fear)
- Solution(Help us NASA and our Defense Force, here’s even more tax dollars to build an even bigger military control grid…PLEASE HELP US!!! OH NO, NOT ALIEANS..RUN!!!)
These people use the same technique over and over again. It’s so predictable.
And they get New Age hippies and celebrities like Robbie Williams to start retarded hype sites like Above Top Secret, which is the biggest schill forum I’ve ever seen.
There’s nothing wrong with believing in a New Age, but there is something wrong with throwing all knowledge of history to the wind and embracing hyped up theories that serve no purpose but to createfear and division in society.
NASA = NAZI

Shut up – you watched “Independence Day” one too many times.
If there are aliens, they’re staying away from planet earth for good reason. There is not enough intelligent life here for them to bother with.
Bottom line – God did not think it worth our while to know, so He did not tell us. We have enough problems just trying to get planet earth on track! And of all the possible inhabitable planets in the universe, Jesus came to this one. God must think His creation is pretty special, in spite of all the ways we (and satan) have messed it up.
Speaking my mind – I believe these reptilians or greys, or whatever they are, are demons manifesting themselves in humanoid form. They are more than happy to oblige gullible people to further cement the lies humans are willing to believe.
And it’s 40 degrees here, a bit chilly for mid-October! So much for global warming. pffft

Global warming is so true its a shame Alex Jones can’t wrap his hand around it. Global weather patterns are consistently changing due to global warming. Our eco system is based around the warm water from the oceans/seas mixing with cold water from the global ice cap run off.
You’ll actually get a couple years of good rainfall and excessive snow for a while as the melting speeds up from the polar ice-caps. The problem is when they run out, your going to get tons of drouts. Its just a matter of time till the drouts start. UK will be one of the first areas to be hardest hit. Annual temperatures have gone nothing but up.

Wes,
you need to wrap your head… around the right data! The hockey stick model for global temps is corrupted data. Try going to more than one spot for your data before you spout out your “theories”! There were higher temps before the little ice age than there are today hence the cooling we are seeing now. These are naturally occurring cycles due to more than just the ocean! 90% of the heat that the earth receives is from the sun. CO2 is good for plants is causes a global bloom in plant life which in turn causes the lush plant life to make more oxygen. Thus correcting itself and starting the next cycle! Wow! Some people here read one web site and think they have everything figured out and that they can solve the worlds problems! Wes, if you believe so strongly in global warming why don’t you and Al Gore jump on the moon space ship before it’s too late! Leave us people who can actually think for ourselves to handle the problems here on earth and in our country! You obviously cant see through the programming!

Try a real website with real facts. Lou Dobbs is not a very smart person when it comes to climate change and that video interiew is sooo old.
Out of the last 12 years, 11 have been the warmest years in the past 100 years. That’s more that a little coindental. The top 11 warmest years in the last 100 year period(1909+) occuring in the past 12 years? The only year not fitting the trait was 1999.
If there really were natural fluxes in temperatures, you’d expect a year here or there in maybe the 10s, 20s or 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s or 70s or 80s to be at least one year in the top ten warmest years over the last 100 years. However, no. There is not 1 year from any of those decades. Where’s the global cooling/warming periods over the last century that anti-global warming conspiracists use to disprove global warming? It doesn’t exist within the last 100 years apparently.

The hardest thing for people to differentiate between is global warming and pollution.
It goes like this: The corporations that are responsible for the mass pollution which is indeed ruining parts of the lands and natural resources like water, are the ones telling us as people of the earth that we are responsible for global warming, which has nothing to do with pollution and everything to do with solar cycles of the sun and most likely the magnetic field shift we are currently experiencing.
By making us feel guilty about polluting (even though they are the ones polluting) we feel guilty and start diminishing our lifestyles by accepting the god of green into our hearts, while they continue polluting and blaming us. It will never end until people understand this paradox.

The atmospheric problems are not due to human exhalation of CO2. Look, they’ve been chemtrailing the skies for 10 years at least, and stepping it up in the last couple of years. They are TRYING to say that human breathing is corrupting the planet. If CO2 is increasing, it’s because of deforestation. God made this planet in perfect balance. If He did not mean “be fruitful and multiply”, He would not have commanded it and He would not have made a world that could not sustain the population. IF people stopped killing one another and instead used technology for the betterment of the human race, every life that now exists would be benefitted.
We have famine and starvation because the first thing warring factions do is burn each others’ crops and cut supply lines. It’s not the common people’s fault so much as it is the leaders commanding the people to fight. And who is behind the leaders? Satan. Don’t believe me? Where does evil originate? Who is running the planet into the ground and plotting to wipe us off it? THERE are your diabolical scum.

There are way more cows now adays than there ever were Buffalo. Buffalo herds were greatly exaggerated in their amount a lot by Native Rights Activists and Environmentalists as an example of how we need to be careful about not fishing to extinction, hunt to extinction, etc.
Native activists use it more as a ‘We were once soooo properous and proud! Now we are sooo poor, give us free money for education, taxes, social services, welfare, health-care, cheap beer, cheap cigarettes, subsidized food, subsidized taxes, subsidized housing’.

Scientist’s Admit Carbon Dioxide is good and helps make plants grow.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/55278
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth’s atmosphere in this state. CO2 is a trace gas being only 0.0383% of the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars, which may either be consumed in respiration or used as the raw material to produce other organic compounds needed for plant growth and development. It is produced during respiration by plants, and by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend either directly or indirectly on plants for food. It is thus a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels or the burning of vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Small amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted from volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs and geysers and by the dissolution of carbonates in crustal rocks.
As of March 2009[update], carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is at a concentration of 387 ppm by volume.[1] Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide fluctuate slightly with the change of the seasons, driven primarily by seasonal plant growth in the Northern Hemisphere. Concentrations of carbon dioxide fall during the northern spring and summer as plants consume the gas, and rise during the northern autumn and winter as plants go dormant, die and decay. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas as it transmits visible light but absorbs strongly in the infrared and near-infrared.
In other words Carbon Dioxide is good !!!
So tell me why in the fukc are people running around saying Carbon Dioxide is killing the planet ?
The answer to that question is MONEY , MONEY , MONEY
Al gore and Obama plan to make a huge sum of money off of the carbon tax. I still can’t believe half of the world thinks their is such a thing as global warming and Carbon Dioxide is killing the planet . man people are just fucking stupid anymore

The only dumbass here is you if you really beleive global warming is bullshit and people who follow it are dumbasses. There are two points worthwhile reiterating, but, I suspect you can’t or won’t be able to understand these points judging by your previous post but I’ll give it a shot anyways giving you the benefit of the doubt.
(1) This discussion focuses on just a short time period – starting 1998 or later – covering at most 11 years. Even under conditions of anthropogenic global warming (which would contribute a temperature rise of about 0.2 ºC over this period) a flat period or even cooling trend over such a short time span is nothing special and has happened repeatedly before (see 1987-1996). That simply is due to the fact that short-term natural variability has a similar magnitude (i.e. ~0.2 ºC) and can thus compensate for the anthropogenic effects. Of course, the warming trend keeps going up whilst natural variability just oscillates irregularly up and down, so over longer periods the warming trend wins and natural variability cancels out.
(2) It is highly questionable whether this “pause” is even real. It does show up to some extent (no cooling, but reduced 10-year warming trend) in the Hadley Center data, but it does not show in the GISS data, see Figure 1. There, the past ten 10-year trends (i.e. 1990-1999, 1991-2000 and so on) have all been between 0.17 and 0.34 ºC per decade, close to or above the expected anthropogenic trend, with the most recent one (1999-2008) equal to 0.19 ºC per decade – just as predicted by IPCC as response to anthropogenic forcing.

Figure 1. Global temperature according to NASA GISS data since 1980. The red line shows annual data, the larger red square a preliminary value for 2009, based on January-August. The green line shows the 25-year linear trend (0.19 ºC per decade). The blue lines show the two most recent ten-year trends (0.18 ºC per decade for 1998-2007, 0.19 ºC per decade for 1999-2008) and illustrate that these recent decadal trends are entirely consistent with the long-term trend and IPCC predictions. Even the highly “cherry-picked” 11-year period starting with the warm 1998 and ending with the cold 2008 still shows a warming trend of 0.11 ºC per decade (which may surprise some lay people who tend to connect the end points, rather than include all ten data points into a proper trend calculation).
There’s a whole bunch more information here, if your willing to educate yourself a bit. Seriously, learn some scientific fact and not what mass-media and anti-global warming nuts teach you.

Even with your own data, how do you account for the cooling trend over the last 5 yrs?
Now carry your data back to 1000 yrs. See if your hypothesis holds.
Do some research, receive enlightenment!

Thanks I will look into it. but who can we trust anymore? so much information from so many people..

CO2 cause massive cold fluxes. That will be the next lie to come out.

I’m glad the temps are already dropping.
Before pervert of nature Al Gore gets to take credit saying the “Carbon Taxes” fixed it. :-/
He now needs to be tried and imprisoned.

It all about the benjamins.

Global Warming is a terrorist campaign that is being directed at our children, to scare them into giving up their freedom and accepting totalitarianism.
Al Gore is a terrorist.

Weather extremes because of global climate disruption. And the tyrants are using this terrible fact for their extremist political agenda.

Wes, come on your grasping at straws, Man Made global warming cause by teh releae of CO2 into the air is a HOAX!!
No really, as mindblowing as that sounds, its true.
We all know the globe warms, and guess what, it cools too,(which its doing now) and then warms again, and then cools again, are you starting to see a pattern, temperature in teh past has been WAY higher on average than now, and did life go on, yep, indeed it did.
BUT ITS NOT CO2, there are much more important environmental issues to alert the public to than this crap, god will you seriously get a grip on yourself.

when the poles do shift and the plates of the earth rotate the virus that wiped out the dinos
will be unleasd to us when the ice melts call it whatever you want …….

The last warming map I saw showed blue over the continents and red over the oceans.
Is that manmade?
Ice Age or global warming?

READ MY LIPS …… Global Warming is a misconception ! It is and is beginning to be a lie about this planets 2 billion year old history ! How do ‘ they ‘ know ‘ that global warming is a threat ? Do ‘ they ‘ have records going back some 2 billion years to attempt to find a pattern ????
NO THEY CAN’T ! It’s been said that the industrail age has bought global warming before us , but the Industrail age has only been in affect for the last 100 years , out of 2 billion years ???? LOL ! Give me a break ! TIME is catching up with you a-holes that has usin bondage for the last 2000 years ! You time is coming and we will be there , with plenty of rope and hopefully plenty of tall trees … unless you had already cut them down !!!! LOL

Proof positive it was the SUN all along and MAN had nothing to do with it.
The solar cycle was to produce SUN SPOTS 2 1/2 years ago and it DID NOT! No sunspots…….no heat. We may be going into a mini-ice age. The last time this happened 1400A.D. to 1850A.D. it changed the way everyone on the planet lived.
Take a look at http://www.spaceweather.com for a better picture of what is happening. For the last 30 months the sun has been BLANK of sun spots 80% of the time with very small sunspots the rest of the 20%. On any given day their should be 175 large sun spots producing the solar heat we need.
Get ready for record breaking cold and the end of the global warming brainwashing.

I was grocery shopping at the local street market on thursday and the woman next to me remarked on how warm it was and how this was global warming. She remarked that the weather was all over the place these days. I said, do you remember that it snowed last winter. She did not and yet it was the coldest winter for 20 years, according to the news at the time. Obviously more evidence of climate change.
Well maybe it was climate change and maybe it is caused by our CO2. But if policy is made from consensus of people who can’t even remember if it snowed in the coldest UK winter for 20 years then my money is on manipulation by the powers that be rather than any actual change in the climate.

CO2 was higher when the dinosaurs were around and they were fine for millions of years.
Global Warming is fact. Our involvement is a lie.
