It snowed in Monterey, California for just the third time in the last 45-50 years or so.  The Polar Bear population is booming.  In fact, much of what Global Warming alarmists say to augment their arguments are either lies or unsubstantiated observations bulwarked by bad science, such as the illustrious \"hockey stick\" you mentioned.

Not only are  there games now carbon-neutral, but  they traded Jason Kidd to the Dallas Maveriks for the a “better environment” also.  Julianne Waldron  explained to the media that Kidd was giving off to much Carbon dioxide. “Jason Kidd always hustles when he is on the basketball court, and we all admire that greatly. But all of that running up and down the court, pushing the team out on fastbreaks, expending extra energy just to make a few extra points and possibly win a game, caused all of the players to breathe a great deal more heavily and thereby expel extra amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, and we all know that is bad for the environment. We made the difficult decision to trade Kidd in order to save the planet.” Check out this article I found on it <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=49\">Environmental Activism is the Key to the Current Success of the New Jersey Nets</a><br /><span class=\"byline\">           matt | 04.03.08 - 3:37 am | <a href=\"#223690\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 234px;\"><a href=\"http://js-kit.com/?hsad\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/jskit-ad-banner-small.png\" width=\"234\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/aikidoka/505356663415893526/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='aikidoka' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='505356663415893526' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
