No Red River this year......

Decided not to do  The Red River Run  for Memorial Day. Could have went to Orange County Chopper's show at Tempe AZ, but couldn't afford the space rent. Also too late to go to West Coast Thunder. Oh well, there's always next year. Be at the Hideout Sunday and Monday.


    I found this at newsbusters makes you think there's something deeper involved than periodic weather changes we have been experiencing all through history. Power to shape public policy and selling an agenda comes to mind. By the way, anyone seriously think the Feds are going to get real on immigration? One thing we know: 



At Least They're Consistent

Courtesy of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, following are some of the Chicken Little writings of the New York Times and Time Magazine over the years.



Time, Sept. 10, 1923: "The discoveries of changes in the sun's heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjecture of the possible advent of a new ice age."


NYT, Sept. 18, 1924: "MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age."


NYT, March 27, 1933: "America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-Year Rise."


Time, Jan. 2, 1939: "Gaffers who claim that winters were harder when they were boys are quite right ... weather men have no doubt that the world at least for the time being is growing warmer."


Time, June 24, 1974: "Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."


NYT, May 21, 1975: "Scientists Ponder Why World's Climate is Changing; A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable."


Time, April 9, 2001: "(S)cientists no longer doubt that global warming is happening, and almost nobody questions the fact that humans are at least partly responsible."


NYT, Dec. 27, 2005: "Past Hot Times Hold Few Reasons to Relax About New Warming."



Anyone who says the Earth will get (circle one) hotter/colder is right, given enough time. We've had ice ages, little ice ages, as well as warming periods. None of them were caused by humans.


Why is this any different?
