Tea Party Nation Denies Global Warming

Tea Party Nation blogger Alan Caruba tells us the message of Hurricane Sandy.

Long ago, the cartoon character, Pogo, famously said, “We have met the enemy and it is us.” The enemy, I would suggest, is President Barack Hussein Obama, his many shadowy, unaccountable “czars” influencing energy policies, his Cabinet Secretaries of Energy and the Interior, and the rogue Environmental Protection Agency that is set to unleash regulations that will destroy the economy, aided and abetted by the nation’s environmental organizations.

That’s Hurricane Sandy’s message to America.

I'm glad that Caruba is keeping things classy by mentioning Obama's middle name negative manner.

We had the hottest July in United States history.

The average temperature last month was 77.6 degrees — 3.3 degrees above the average 20th-century temperature, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported on Wednesday. July thereby dethroned July 1936, which had set the record at 77.4 degrees, the agency said.

NASA reports that shows the shrinking of the ice cap. Older ice is melting faster than new ice is being created.

Caruba writes that the Earth is actually cooling. Caruba states that climate change science has been disproved. Caruba fails to explains the science or even bother linking to a conservative think tank.

This suspension of common sense is worsened when our President goes on television, as he did last Friday on MTV, to say “I believe the scientists, who say that we are putting too much carbon emissions into the atmosphere, and it is heating the planet and it is going to have a severe effect.” This is literally junk science, long since debunked by legions of scientists who know that carbon dioxide has nothing to do with the Earth’s temperature. The planet has been in a cooling cycle since 1998.

I remember sweating my ass off being out in the Florida heat for more than five minutes during the summer. In Caruba's reality, the planet is experiencing a cooling period. Energy companies set up bogus think tanks to deny global warming because they feel that regulations will cut into their profits. What is Caruba's excuse?
