GraniteGrok: Another entry in the "Some things are just too delicious to pass up" dept.

I know that I am but a layman when it comes to weather observations and the like, but I still do not believe for an instant that man contributes in a big way to any global warming that might be occuring. I know that the AlGore automatons will state with a straight face that a big, cold winter blast or storm is simply more "evidence" of global warming, but I would, trying to be polite and not bust a gut laughing, politely disagree.

Consider this bit of news that I'm sure proves nothing, other than the existence of a God with a sense of humor, from Daily Hampshire Gazettenet.Com:

Marchers brave nor'easter to highlight need for climate change
By KRISTINA TEDESCHI

NORTHAMPTON - As a nor'easter arrived in the area, participants in the Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue began their trek from Northampton to Boston to stop global warming, an eight-day journey predicted to be the largest of its kind for the environment in the U.S.
.
Walkers descended the steps of the Unitarian Society building on Main Street in Northampton around 2 p.m., with supporters singing "Keep on Walking Forward" by Pat Humphries,
while elementary school students with signs reading "Stop Global Warming Now" lined the walkway to send them off into the storm.

What more can you say? Elementary school kids? What the hell do they care about such things? Tell me they're NOT brainwashing and indoctrinating our youth. If they were being properly taught to be rational, inquisitive persons, they would be too ashamed to stand in a snowstorm protesting global warming.

Here is a press release from Senator Chris Dodd. In it he endorses the climate change resolution being debated in towns across the Granite State. "Senator Chris Dodd today responded to New Hampshire citizens who are asking for national leadership to address the climate change crisis. Dodd strongly endorsed the terms of a climate change resolution that is being considered in 180 town meetings across the Granite State . “Global climate change is one of the most pressing issue of our time,” said Dodd. “Sadly, the current administration has squandered six years by denying scientific evidence at the behest of the oil and gas industry. The next president has to make up for lost time. When I am elected president in 2008, I will make global warming a top priority by asking the American people to join me in setting an ambitious timetable for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that threaten both our natural environment and our economic well being.” In town meetings across the Granite State during the month of March, New Hampshire citizens are considering resolutions asking for local, state and national leadership to fight global warming. Thus far, 86 towns have passed climate change resolutions. The resolution urges the President and Congress to establish “a national program requiring reductions of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions while protecting the U.S. economy” and to create “a major national research initiative to foster rapid development of sustainable energy technologies thereby stimulating new jobs and investment.” Dodd says those are commitments he will make today. “I hope that I will be joined by other Democratic and Republican candidates,” said Dodd. “Protecting our environment for future generations should be a bi-partisan issue.”

"Walkers descended the steps of the Unitarian Society building" No surprise that the Uselesstarians were involved in this sort of thing. Why be concerned with such trivial matters as personal salvation and one's relationship with God (not the sundry PC idols that they and their comrades, the Perversalists worship) when the global climate is at stake.
