Dude, you can't have it both ways...
Think about it for a second: what the global warming people are saying is the following.
"If it gets warm, it's evidence of global warming. And if it gets cold, well, that's global warming as well."
Sorry. I was born...but not yesterday.

On Sunday, Gore finally made his call, writing an Op-Ed piece for the New York Times, titled "We Can't Wish Away Climate Change," in which he finally addressed the series of flaws and bloopers that have been dogging climate science.
"It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas," Gore wrote, also acknowledging that stolen e-mails showed that scientists "may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law."
But the former vice president remained resolute. "The scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes," he wrote, stressing that "what is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged."
Gore also said that the snowstorms and freezing weather that have hit the United States this winter are further proof of global warming. Warmer global temperatures increase the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere and causing heavier downfalls, he wrote.
"Just as it's important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm," he said.

What Blinds Us to the Truth
I read this article this morning and thought it was well-put. Satan has a multi-faceted approach to his lies and deceit.
from: http://thethings2come.org/
A List of Lies
This morning I was thinking about all the things that blind humans to the truth. This is just the start of what will likely be a longer list ultimately. I hope to add more as the days go by and they bubble to the surface of my conscious mind. Satan loves to distract us and send delusions that make us think we are interacting with the truth when in reality they offer just enough philosophical mumbo jumbo to make us think we have latched on to some answers but only those that keep us dwelling numbly in our chosen comfort zones. They not only keep us from the knowledge of our sin but they invite us to comfort our pathetic and perishing souls with the notion that we at least believe in something. Whether they are true or not doesn’t seem to matter. Special.
1. Psychology.This humanistic philosophy pretends to offer answers to all of our problems when in fact it is simply making things up as it goes. Psychology is a blatant counterfeit to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. A psychologist cannot truly see into our hearts, only God can. Therefore, a psychologist cannot diagnose our ills. Period. How in the world could a pop science take the place of God’s cleansing power? And yet this is what people, including Christians choose to believe.
Psychology teaches us to blame our problems on others’ actions or a lack of pharmaceuticals in our lives. God says our problems are spiritual and we are to be filled with the Spirit of God, not the latest fad drug. Psychology exists to keep our minds on ourselves all through the day and night; the bible says we are to focus on the finished work of Christ and our home in heaven. Psychology makes us impatient and demanding of life, that we must find answers to everything right now; the process of sanctification in Christ takes a lifetime. Forgiveness comes only by repenting of our sins and trusting Jesus. Christians everywhere are tainted and poisoned by the cult of psychology and think it is a medical science, when the truth is there are no tests for brain issues, you can’t just get a CAT scan and see a brain problem like you can obtain from a genuine disease. No matter, the notion of the reality of disease is negotiable. Reality check: these pseudo-scientist/doctors are just guessing. Christians should run for their lives from anything psychological and see it for what it is – a ruse of the enemy, a vain philosophy of men.
2. Political Correctness. The Fort Hood tragedy is a prime example of this. No one is calling this a home grown terrorist attack in America because no one wants to offend anyone. Is this justice in any way? How will this serve the victims? Political correctness in this or any other area covers for the truth, keeping us from observing, naming, and protecting ourselves from the enemy in our midst. Many will die and suffer because of this cover up of the truth. The reason they give for the shooter’s actions? He was “mentally ill”. So there are lies #1 AND #2 in action here. Question: are our troops who are fighting terrorism all over the globe simply fighting random cases of “mental illness”? The idiocy is confounding.
3. Global Warming. Here we have people who would never claim to believe in anything they cannot see trusting in the “hard facts” of science to guide their every purchase and philosophy. It would never occur to them that GW is a religion but that is exactly what it is, and to put one’s faith in the temperature of the planet which is unmeasurable at any given time is the height of absurdity. The planet does not have a fever but the faith it takes to believe that is way beyond anything the Bible presents. Such foolishness I cannot comprehend.
4. Evolution. Another in a growing list of things that take such great faith that one has to wonder how anyone can claim it is not a religion. The enemy is truly working overtime to convince humans that there is no God, He has no claims on our lives, and that there was nothing then it blew up. Of course, if you ask today’s savvy consumer if someone created their iPod, their PC, or their hybrid auto, they will look at you and say, ‘of course’. But something as complex as the universe, not so much. Today’s fleshly natured souls are so distracted by what they can see that they completely discount what they can’t. Unless it is Lie #3.
Go Figure.

Follow the Money
This is what I have always thought. I've asked myself so many times, "In the face of so many discrepancies in the hypothesis of global warming, why are some of our leaders SO INSISTENT on fundamentally transforming our way of life?" Well, here you go. One word: MONEY. Before you go believing all you hear about global warming, listen to all opinions and THEN make your decision on what you believe.
from: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=118659
NEW YORK – A story emerging out of Britain suggests "follow the money" may explain the enthusiasm of the United Nations to pursue caps on carbon emissions, despite doubts surfacing in the scientific community about the validity of the underlying global warming hypothesis.
A Mumbai-based Indian multinational conglomerate with business ties to Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chairman since 2002 of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, stands to make several hundred million dollars in European Union carbon credits simply by closing a steel production facility in Britain with the loss of 1,700 jobs.

Truth concerning "Cap and Trade"
from: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=106155
The most recent example is a bill that recently passed the House of Representatives. It would create a so-called "cap and trade" system to reduce CO2 emissions. Emitters would be required to obtain permits, which would be limited in number (the "cap"), from the federal government and could then buy and sell them on the market (the "trade"). The cap would gradually decrease, increasing the cost of energy over time.
A recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that the law would:
raise the average family's annual energy bill $1,241 (over $100 per month);
raise electricity rates 90 percent, gasoline prices 74 percent and residential natural gas prices 55 percent;
raise unemployment by nearly 2 million jobs in 2012, with additional job losses to follow;
raise the inflation-adjusted federal debt 26 percent by 2035 – about $115,00 per family of four; and
reduce gross domestic product by an average of $393 billion per year, or $9.4 trillion through 2035.
The payoff? About 0.09 degree F reduction in global average temperature in the year 2050. (The real reduction might be only one-tenth as much.) At that rate, counting the costs only through 2035, we'd be paying $940 billion for every one-one hundredth of a degree reduction in temperature. Assuming – optimistically! – that costs after 2035 were slashed in half, we'd end up paying an additional $2.9 trillion, for a total of over $12 trillion, or $1.2 trillion for every one-one hundredth of a degree. That's an awful lot to pay for so little return when growing numbers of qualified scientists reject the case for destructive manmade global warming anyway.
The point of this article is that this proposal from our federal government is unBiblical because we are called on to help the poor and this will devastate them more than anyone else.
