About Me
- Name: Louise
- Location: Canada
A stubble jumper is a prairie farmer. I'm from Saskatchewan and my dad was a farmer, so the name is apt. "Redneck" needs no explanation. It's anyone who disagrees with a lunatic leftie. My blog is mostly about the Middle East but other issues also catch my eye and get me going. I monitor comments to keep out trolls and lunatic lefties. Anyone who is zealously anti-American and anti-democracy in the Middle East is NOT welcome.

It never ceases to amaze how the simple mention of global warming in a news story sets off a tsunami of rhetoric. It generally comes from a very vocal minority that would go to its grave swearing that the sum total of climate science is a liberal plot to enrich Al Gore. Alternately, we are told the Martian ice caps are melting, proof that solar radiation and sunspot cycles — and not greenhouse gases — are the cause of planetary warmups.
What amazes me is the denial on the warmest side that there is far from a "consensus" on this issue.
Try this one in particular:
"According to the most recent international poll of climate scientists,
* Most climate scientists believe global warming “is a process already underway.”
* But that “consensus” drops to below 60 percent when climate scientists are asked if “climate change is mostly the result of anthropogenic causes.”
* 65 percent of climate scientists do not believe “climate models can accurately predict climate conditions in the future.”
* 68 percent do not believe “the current state of scientific knowledge is able to provide reasonable predictions of climatic variability on time scales of ten years.”
* 73 percent do not believe it is possible to predict climate “on time scales of 100 years.”
* About 70 percent of climate scientists think “climate change might have some positive effects for some societies.”"
