A Message from a Republican Meteorologist on Climate Change

Acknowledging Climate Science Doesn’t Make You A Liberal

By Paul Douglas


These are the Dog Days of March. Ham Weather reports 6,895 records in the last week - some towns 30 to 45 degrees warmer than average; off-the-scale, freakishly warm. 13,393 daily records for heat since March 1 - 16 times more warm records than cold records. The scope, intensity and duration of this early heat wave are historic and unprecedented...

I’m going to tell you something that my Republican friends are loath to admit out loud: climate change is real...

Dude ... it has been a warm winter. But many areas DID NOT break records. They were NEAR records. Some places DID break records. Also, the northwest and Alaska just experienced a brutal unusual winter.

Last year, yes just LAST year (amazing how soon we forget) damn near everywhere on the east coast and many midwest states shattered LOW temperatures and SNOW totals.

I personally had up to 3.5 feet of snow in my backyard at one point. And we had over two feet FROM MID FEBRUARY TO MARCH.

It has been MUCH warmer AND cooler on earth well before humans.

If global warming, climate change, republicans burning mother earth ... whatever we are calling it today, results in the winter we just experienced, I am all for it.

Lastly, the earthquake in Japan last year was strong enough to change earth's tilt/rotation. How much? I don't know, but I remember reading about it. I wonder if that quake also changed weather patterns as well? Food for thought.

I was skiing on rocks in CA when it should have been snow. Same thing in my home state with my local trips.

The problem is, these micro-climates are NEVER an indication individually of whether or not the weather is what it's supposed to be. Averages, rainfall, temps, weather happening in places that it usually doesn't, that is getting to the more significant part.

I doubt the "quake" changed weather patterns. I won't rule it out, but people do look for these kinds of relationships and do research on it. It's not a big conspiracy like some people think (as I've done some myself).

I recently saw some video from southern California and Mexico where tsunami waters caused flooding and damaged boats in the bays. From what I recall seeing the day of the event, the effects on North America/Central America were minimal at best. But not in this video. I was surprised to see the tidal surge and the damage it caused.

Thinking about that, the ocean is a system. And it is probably stays at equilibrium yet has small changes as the seasons vary. But on one day, a massive amount of water is suddenly displaced. I'm sure that affected tidal flows and temperatures of the water, which in turn can change weather patterns.

Does anyone know of any formal studies on this?

Classic Paul Harvey in 1965 telling it like it is or shall we say how it was to be in the future .

If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: "Do as you please." "Do as you please." To the young, I would whisper, "The Bible is a myth." I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is "square". In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: "Our Father, which art in Washington" . . .

If I were the Devil, I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I'd threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I'd get organized. I'd infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to refine yound intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say "she's right." With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons, but not wise enough to control them.

If I were Satan, I'd make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle.

If I were the Devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps.

In other words, if I were Satan, I'd just keep on doing what he's doing.

Paul Harvey, Good Day.

If I wanted America to fail, I would institute an endless number of foreign wars, pitching all of them as essential to freedom. This will create a massive public expenditure, too massive for any nation to bear, as France in the 1700′s, England in the 1800′s, and Russia in the 1900′s found out.

I would replace science, math and facts with slanted opinions, and teach kids that truth is whatever they or their ministers want it to be. This will, over time, effectively kill off entire sectors of our knowledge industry, leaving us strong in missile technology, but weak in life sciences, just like N. Korea.

I would reverse the trend to secularity which has brought mankind so far so fast, and re-institute religious dominated societies so we can be more like Iran and Afghanistan. I would replace science with superstition...

I would keep commodities, like energy, artificially cheap, so people don’t have to fret about things like efficiency, making us more like Venezuala...
