Brrrrrrr!

I'm sitting here in Florida this morning all bundled up with the outside temperature hovering at twenty seven degrees. While I unthaw my brain, I was trying to remember the last time it was this cold in Florida, because you know we are world famous for our sunshine. While it has been unusual of late to see temperatures this low it was common place in the past. In fact I can remember watching President Jimmy Carter on TV, giving his farewell address, preparing to leave his term in the White House, dressed in a very warm looking sweater,(not unlike the one I have on now), sitting in front of a crackling fire, explaining to us how we were facing a global cooling crisis. That speech led to the rationing of natural gas by the government so we all didn't freeze to death. Which in turn led to high demand, driving up the price of said commodity.

Isn't it funny how times have changed, or have they? The message is the same, just the crisis has evolved. Back in those days it actually snowed in Florida, with accumulation in Jacksonville. Since then we've had record warm, so that dictates to some, another problem we must address.Or has all the awareness to greenhouse gas emissions already taken effect and lowered the temperature?

Here's the skinny....If there was no money or power to be gained by inventing these crisis, they would go unnoticed. A problem dictates action, action demands regulation, regulation needs enforcement, enforcement needs money, money comes from taxation, taxation means you foot the bill. So it would be in our best interest we remain aware and research all of these world ending crisis for validity.

Right now those Al Gore enthusiasts are scrambling to change their message as world wide as the worst winter in decades is being felt. Since they made this a world encompassing calamity, where are all these frauds going to hide? Speaking of that...Has anyone heard from Al Gore this week? He's been awful silent since the Copenhagen climate summit, where they discussed global warming in record low temperatures. Bottom line,( I borrowed that phrase from Joe Biden), They are trying to get control and into your pockets. If you don't point out the obvious...They will!

God Bless
