AGW - Actual Factual Science (A Guest Post)

It seems to me that when the brothers Gore we writing the fairy tale that we all know now as Global Warming, or Climate Change or whatever clever euphemism they happen to be using this week, Albert Jr., relied heavily upon the knowledge (or lack thereof) of his audience. The problem is that there are too many educated and intelligent people for Liberalism to succeed, and this is the case with Global Warmingism. There are some truly great minds united against the subject of anthropologic GW. I had the opportunity to hear one recently.

A local meteorologist, celebrity and all around good egg by the name of Miles Muzio recently spoke at a luncheon that I attended. His chosen topic for the day was Global Warmongering. He went on to explain how solar cycles, lunar cycles and ocean currents all have an effect on the ambient temperature of this planet.

One thing in particular caught my attention, and Miles blogs about it this month. The Mu Force, or Mu Theory as he called it at our luncheon, which is the direct relation between the Moon’s orbit and an El Nińo year. Y’all remember our last El Nińo back in 1998? For the West coast it was a particularly wet year, with mild temperatures. The El Nińo phenomenon is a warming of the surface of the Pacifc ocean which causes the weather anomalies like we experienced here in ’98. It’s a detailed read, but I suggest you check out Miles’ blog to learn about the effect of the lunar orbit on our weather patterns here on Earth. Any sailor worth his knots knows that the lunar gravitational pull affects the tides; this is what causes high and low tides. Miles hypothesizes that as the moon’s orbit tightens, and it gets closer to the surface of the planet, that same gravitational pull stops the natural cycle of ocean currents. These ocean currents normally act like a big blender, bringing cold sea water from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, and recycling the warm water from the surface, back down to the bottom. When the moon is in its closest orbit, it’s gravitational pull counter acts the normal blender like action, preventing the cooler water from coming to the surface. This results in a warmer surface temperature on the ocean, and thus an El Nińo year.

A few other interesting tid-bits from the lecture:
· Miles called the ‘Greenhouse Effect’ theory absurd, stating; “When was the last time a volcano erupted in your greenhouse, or when was your last hurricane?” He went on to explain that our planet is remarkably good at reflecting heat and energy back out into space, something that does not happen in a true greenhouse.

· Miles stated that CO2 levels do not precede a warming of the weather, but instead follow it, and made it understandable to the layman (me) by comparing it to a soda or beer. You ever notice that the warmer your carbonated beverage, the less oomph it has? That’s because as a liquids temperature rises, the less CO2 it can hold. Thus you open a warm beer, and Tsss! all that fizzy goodness escapes, leaving little carbonation in the drink. The opposite is also true, the colder the drink, the more I burp…

· The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is around 385 parts per million by volume. Miles, the king of analogies that he is, described it this way: “If the atmosphere were a typical back yard, in-ground pool (approximately 10,000 gallons) the amount of man made CO2 escaping into the atmosphere would be equal to less than one thimble full of water being poured into that pool. Or, think of the atmosphere as the amount of air inside a typical home-“ Miles’ definition of a home, is a little larger than my modest pad, he suggested a 2,500 square foot home. “The amount of man made CO2 would be equal to 1/3 of a postage stamp cubed.”

The reality is that this idea that we can change the atmosphere, or the earth is so pompous, it could only have been born in the mind of a liberal. Maybe a RINO…

Your moment of levity; to which I say, watch where you step!

NOTE: Also on the Global Warming front: 43,000 children are injured every year in bathtub accidents. It’s a national tragedy and no doubt, Obama is hard at work looking for a Czar to take on this challenge. What does this have to do with Global Warming? That’s 43,000 children more than will be harmed by global warming this year…
