It's Started Again

You would think that there are enough people who can
read and have availed themselves of the mounting, yet
I admit hard to find, evidence that the Global
Warming Farce is just that, to put us in a position
where our talking heads are at least being cautious
about the LEVEL of hysteria in their voice's when
doling out new "evidence" of the horrors to come.
Not necessarily so. We had a warm day in Toronto yesterday, about 27 C or so. Drove our weather people bananas. They were screaming into their mics that this was the ABSOLUTE WARMEST MAY 8th ON RECORD, which of course is further proof that we are all going to die and that Algore should really get that Nobel Peace Prize some pencil neck nominated him for.
Not quite so loudly is that we only beat out, by 2/10ths of a degree, May 8, 1932. Not sure what caused that hot day way back in '32. Couldn't have been SUV's, pretty sure it was not because we were using too many plastic bags for our groceries. Dead certain it was NOT because a bunch of silk-stockinged socialists were criss-crossing the planet in their Gulfstreams all the while telling us that WE were causing pollution induced Global Warming by driving to the beer store for a twofor.
As a matter of fact, there is a curious thing about the "Dirty" Thirties, that is worth knowing the next time some pin head tries to tell you that the rise in planetary temperatures is in direct correlation with Industrial Activity and man made carbon emissions. You see, we can really measure the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere over most of the last century. We have graphs showing a steady increase of CO2 in the atmosphere from the late 1890's to today. A fairly straight line headed up. Unfortunately, when said graph is laid alongside a graph for the same period showing Industrial Activity, we have a small problem.
During the Great Depression, industrial output decreased by over 30% in the decade from 1929 to 1939. Guess what happened to the CO2 chart during this dramatic drop in man made emissions? It kept going up, didn't blink, stutter or stammer one little bit.
Scratch one more theory.
