Snowing on the Sahara!

Algeria actually... the last recorded snow was in February 18, 1979 and that was the first time in Algeria's history!
 
Makes me doubt the warming alarmists, Europe and many other northern parts are experiencing record lows, again... Snow in Spain and Rome and now the Sahara! Makes one think... 

Enjoy the song. Angun-Snow on the Sahara  
Songwriters: BENZI, ERIC FERNAND/MATHESON, NIKKI 
Only tell me that you still want me here 
When you wander off out there 
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow 
In that dry white ocean alone Lost out in the desert 
you are lost out in the desert 
But to stand with you in a ring of fire 
I'll forget the days gone by 
I'll protect your body and guard your soul 
From mirages in your sight Lost out in the desert 

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track 
I'll be the moon that shines on your path 
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above 
for snow to fall on the Sahara 
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts 
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, 
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara 

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders 
With veils of silk and gold 
When the shadows come and darken your heart 
Leaving you with regrets so cold 
Lost out in the desert 

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track 
I'll be the moon that shines on your path 
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above 
for snow to fall on the Sahara 
 If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts 
I'll hold you up and be your way out 
And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above 
for snow to fall on the Sahara

Cloud Cuckoo?


So... Mr Microsoft wants to add a dollar or two to advance the idea of enhancing cloud formation.
" Even if that goes well, the technology has a long way to go before it can significantly alter the climate — a recent study showed that it would it take 1,900 ships at a cost of over $7 billion to stop Earth’s temperature from rising."
Bully for him... I just have some doubts, because we all know how well his Software works... Blue Screen of Death comes to mind, plus those ships look top heavy... I wonder what will happen with them during hurricane season?
I say leave nature to do what nature does best... at present it seems to be cooling down the earth quite well, the past summer here in SA has been cloudier and wetter than normal... I wonder why?
"My bounce-around life had taught me that dreams were dangerous things - they look solid in your mind, but you just try to reach for them. It's like gathering clouds." Kirby Larson, Hattie Big Sky, 2006

Wake up to the sleeping sun

This is a picture of Sol (25 Nov. 2009), our closest star in sleepy mode showing no sunspots at all. This is unusual because according to the past records the sun should have arisen from it's slumber of 11 yearly sunspot cycles. At the same time the earth and other planets in the Solar System have shown a downward trend in surface temperature, something that did not match the information from the Global Warming proponents. Then all hell broke loose this week when the Internet was abuzz with the leaked data from Hadley CRU which seems to support what many skeptics have been saying all along. The Hockey Stick was a lie!
Al Gore is a charlatan together with all the scientists that climbed on the gravy train this farce created.
Now scientists in New Zealand have gotten hold of their GW Experts data and cannot find the upward curve he shows in his graphs... I wonder why?
Science is supposed to be pure and unsullied by politics, financial gain and seeking prestige, it seems when it comes to Climate Science just the opposite is true, fudging of facts to meet an agenda, lies and false representation are just the tip of the Iceberg it seems.
What the good science does show is that Earth is warming in general since the last Ice Age but having a bunch of scientists misleading us with bad science has not helped the credibility of scientists in general. It is time science woke up and tossed the junk scientists out together with their political partners in crime.
