There has been a lot of moisture out here in West Texas the last few months. Right now, we are at about 2 1/2 times normal, and our rainy season has just begun. I suppose its the El Nino that has been in progress, but the Winter sure felt like Global Cooling.
That does bring to mind the issue of Global Warming that all the liberals were panicked about. We have not heard a lot about that lately, since the science has been shown to have been unscientific. It appears that a lot of it was based upon scientists wanting to be politically corrrect so they could get more government money for research. The rest was based upon doctored evidence that was never disclosed, and "conveniently" lost before it could be checked.
Poor Al Gore. It now appears he will not make the billions of dollars he would have made if the "cap and trade" fiasco had passed.
The problem is, the globe does warm and does cool, and we should be prepared for it. Right now there appears to be temporary cooling, but by the time we really establish that, it may well be warming again.
That is what the earth does. It warms for a while, then it cools. In the last 100,000 years we have had several cycles of warming and cooling. Humans have always adapted to it. We need to be prepared to adapt to it again. We can't stop it, and to try would be foolish.
Back to the rain. It caused the postponement of the Tax Day Tea Party on Thursday. Too bad. I was going to go, as I did last year.
It has been very interesting to see how our political left and their minions in the media have treated the Tea Partys over the last year.
At first they were "right wing extremists" then moved on to be racists and Nazis. That did not work, of course, because none of it was true. They also tried to set up some individuals as "leaders" of the Tea Party and tried to tear the Partiers down by attacking those "leaders." That didn't work, either, mainly because the Tea Party groups are all local folks. Its a movement, not an organization.
The lastest is a New York Times/CBS poll that asserts they are rich and well educated, and not representative of a cross section of the citizenry. That will fail as well, because its not true. Obviously, the media has not covered the actual Tea Partys enough to have a clue about them. Or they don't care about the truth.
I wonder what they will try to come up with next.

I'm almost as old as you, and I can remember the polio scares which were real and affected our classmates. A few years later the Sabin vaccine which we took with a sugar cube and no physician present, a free treatment. Then later the communist scare which lasted quite a while, then went away. Then the population scare--too many people; the food scare--not enough food; and the global cooling scare that no one could sell. Finally man-caused global warming which I thought no one would buy, but many did. And the Obama scare, and I'm really scared now.
The Obama scare is the worst and other than polio and communism, the most real and dangerous.
But like the other two, he can be defeated.
Anonymous just tried to post the following, and I accidently deleted it. Because it was somewhat germane, I will post it here:
From an expert at Texas Tech. Why don't you leave science to the experts? You are horribly misinformed and your opinions harm people.
In response to Anonymous, all I can say is that there is a dispute.
Do you wish to argue the science or just make unsupported statements?
And what kind of expert are you? Credentials?
