Redneck Review!
No. 234 - 10/21/2019
The PIPING of the PIPER seems to have tailed off recently, much like as happened in past years. Last week's Tribune featured a long article brought to my attention, appearing on page 5C of the Oct.,14 edition. Titled: "Weather, timing wreaked havoc on Spokane." The article ran three long columns, and could be claimed support by either of the two competing sides in the current  CLIMATE CHANGE debate.  A few quotations from the article cited!
"Branchstorm 2019. The perfect storm. Ice storm '96 redux. Whatever you call it, the storm that walloped the Spokane region early Wednesday morning is one for the books - both history and science."  Later, it read: "It was the earliest big snowfall in Spokane, besting the previous record of 5.9 inches that fell Oct. 22, 1957."  So Climate Change and Global Warming doubters can say, "I told you so!" claiming evidence that the concern the PIPER has been PIPING  is false! 
But hold on just a minute! Still later in the article, Kelly Chadwick, "a certified arborist and owner of Spirit Pruners... blames global climate change."  And Jon Fox, "meteorologist at the National Weather Office in Spokane... said he didn't believe this storm was a sign of things to come, either for this winter or in years to come."  He continued: "I've been here well over 20 years and have never seen anything like it, but I wouldn't guarantee that just because we started out this way means the winter will be any worse than normal."  So I guess, something else to be thought about by those who would like to know what the future weather brings the next few decades!
So we leave for now the controversy, with just the following thoughts!  First, does anyone really know what is going to happen during the 2020's and 2030's?  It is my belief here that the dire predictions of the Global Warmers that want us to GO GREEN entirely, and give up the carbon based fuels;  coal, oil, diesel, and gasoline, are not accurate!  For several reasons!  First, the expert predictions in the mid-1900's that we WOULD BE TOTALLY OUT OF FOSSIL FUELS by 2000 has been embarrassingly proved wrong!  And so falling flat on its face was their claim that new births should be cut to around two per family to avoid a disaster!  Embarrassing, now that we now have more reserves in the United States than in Arabia!  Doomsdayers who made those predictions back then are hiding out somewhere, refusing to show their faces! And so goes the un American method of achieving this goal by limiting family children numbers!
And do not forget, evidence opposed to the Global Warmers is available, though not easy to find. Computer searches using:  petitionproject.org  can be located by the persistent, where is found a list of over 36,000 scientists who signed a petition, claiming fuel emissions ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING!  This petition reacted to the Kyoto Protocol meeting in 1997, where most of the world's nation's agreed to somehow limit global fuel emissions, the United States being one of the biggest non signers. I say Hurray for the U.S., as eliminating the fuels that provide about 85% of our power needs, would require a massive increase in federal power and a return to living conditions not seen in this country for centuries!
And let us not ignore earlier periods in history like the "Maunder Minimum," and the "Dalton Minimum," nor the "Medieval Maximum" or the "Modern Maximum" periods,  when periods of very low temperatures and then also very high temperatures have been researched and have been traced to "solar hibernation" on the lows, and increased sun activity during the highs.  And should you want convincing evidence of a numbing cold period coming during the next 30 years, read John Casey's book, DARK WINTER!  Easily available at book sources, the evidence cited and experts who agree, make me rather hope for Global Warming!
