The temperature in Grand Rapids, MI maybe 10 degrees below the norm for this time of year, but the global warming kooks are still going to protest in the cold to support more government control of your life, according to Ben Kolker of the Associated press. Those of us who remember this past winter, those of us who are geared up for a huge and unseasonal storm this weekend, and those of us who still have the power for individual thought would say that this is, as the French say, "stupid." It's actually getting colder, so why not rethink this whole global warming bunk? In their defense, one of these kooks, Lisa Locke, associate director of the West Michigan Environmental Action Council, said, "I think that's an easy excuse, but if we're really reasonable about it, we're not talking about individual weather on individual days," Locke said. "We're talking about something much larger, on a global scale, which science has been tracking for decades." Really, Lisa? Decades? Then why couldn't my local weather forecaster, a meteorologist, give me an accurate prediction for the last seven days? Even with his Super Doppler 7000 radar, he's still really only guessing. So, what's the rally for? Well, they want congress to know that they care. They care so much, in fact, that they want congress to cut emissions by 80 percent in less than 50 years. Do you know how government is supposed to do this? Let me share it with you, in case you missed the last few rants on this bunk called global warming. The global warming alarmists like Al Gore want us all to pay more taxes, carbon taxes, taxes on the kind of car you drive, whether or not you barbecue with charcoal, they want to take your money to plant trees, billions of trees that won't absorb all of this carbon until the fifty years are up, providing they survive. Well, let these kooks go to their rally, let them shake hands with the mayor and share their kids' pictures of the poor, doomed polar bears, another media hoax. My family and I will be inside, warmed by a fire that will be emitting plenty of carbon into the air to keep the kooks warm.

The Lemmings of Global Warming

This should give you a chuckle. And to think someone could actually make money on this...Why didn't I think of it first?
Wanna bet on global warming? You can Fri Apr 13, 8:38 PM ET
NORFOLK, Va. - Think global warming will raise the oceans enough to submerge Cape Hatteras? Want to bet on it?

An online gambling service has started taking bets on global warming, including whether it can submerge some of the East Coast's top vacation spots.
The odds that Virginia's Cape Henry will be under water by 2015 — 200-to-1 at BetUs.com. Its odds for Cape Hatteras flooding by the same date — 300-to-1.
Don't bet on it, says Phil Roehrs, a coastal engineer for the city of Virginia Beach. Roehrs said although sea levels are rising along the East Coast, scientists are not predicting anywhere near the levels and dates provided by the gambling service.
"No wonder the odds are so good," Roehrs said.
That hasn't stopped bettors from taking a chance. About 3,000 placed bets during the first three days on online booking, said Reed Richards, a spokesman for BetUs.com.
Most gamblers on the site have put down money that Manhattan will be submerged before New Year's Eve 2011.
"Don't ask me why," Richards said.
