Global Warming is a myth...
At least for the lunatics and Michael Crichton.

I live in the North(Really North) of the Province of Quebec and let

me tell you this:

Today,January 10,all my windows are open and

the fucking snow is melting.MELTING!

Over here it's just like it was Spring.

All the peoples are scratching their heads and

say that they never saw temperatures as high over here,

at this time of the year, in their life.


Recently I've read the Michael Crichton's novel "State of fear".

In that book the author do everything he can to demonstrate that

Global Warming is pure fantasy,a myth,an hysteria.Imagine that!

Most scientists agree that the Earth is warming up:


Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, January 29, 2006; Page A01

Now that most scientists agree human activity is causing Earth to warm, the central debate has shifted to whether climate change is progressing so rapidly that, within decades, humans may be helpless to slow or reverse the trend.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...


Yet this "intellectual" is claiming in this book (and in public as well)that on the

contrary the temperatures of our planet are cooling down!

Hey!Glaciers are growing in Greenland,he says!

In this book that deeply shocked me,Crichton show cherry-picked statistics

to prove his point and mix it with an (I have to admit)interesting intrigue.

So Mr Crichton,let me ask you this:

Why are my fucking windows are wide opened on January 10 North of 50 ?

But I forgot,sorry,you're a fiction writer.

-Jeff


NB:This is a repost.I originally posted it late at night.So Peoples from the East cost

2. A WHOLE lot more of the Arctic Ocean is exposed and collecting sunshine....
The Earth is absorbing more heat and retaining more heat.

The Climate can't help but change.

It's not usually 70 degrees where I live until late April or May.
