For a number of years environmentalists have been spreading the alarm about global warming. A few years ago a climatologist doing routine research did a comparison of all the weather stations around the globe and discovered an alarming phenomenon; the earth seemed to be getting hotter. Since then numerous scientists have scrambled for the millions of dollars available for research on global warming. But here are some interesting facts;
- one scientist discovered that the time-series data that was used to measure the average temperature was taken from areas that 50 years ago had very little development or population but now are sprawling urban areas with skyscrapers, asphalt, and a high population. When he investigated further he discovered that some of the weather stations were situated in areas that years before were in the open but now were closed in some fashion or located on the top of asphalt or in one particular instance, was located outside an exhaust vent of a metal factory. His conclusion was that there was not “global warming” but rather “urban warming” because areas that had not changed as far as urbanization was concerned did not indicate an increase in average temperature.
What do you think? Is global warming real?…and if it is what can be done about it? We would like to hear what you think.

Al Gore is a pompous ass. He has made 300 million dollars over the past 7 years spreading fear about global warming. This is a natural event, it is not unusual, it happens every 150 or so years. This is just one more way that liberal socialists attempt to take away our civil rights. They will make it so no one has the freedom to move about the country. In the UK we have successfully sued Al Gore into confessing that none of his research is based on fact, only supposition. He must present this information as a theory and not as a factual event…you in the states should do the same
