They saved it!

A UK Telegraph columnist reports,

... the latest US satellite figures [show] temperatures having fallen since 1998, declining in 2007 to a 1983 level - not to mention the newly revised figures for US surface temperatures showing that the 1930s had four of the 10 warmest years of the past century, with the hottest year of all being not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.

How long until we will be advised that the fight against global warming has succeeded in turning the dire situation around?

Not until there's no more big money to be made by being alarmist.

I am reminded of the Candid Camera put on when Peter Funt and crew set up a botth outside a big supermarket with a banner that said, "Save the Grand Canyon! Donate Here!" They studiously avoided explaining to people just what the Grand Canyon needed saving from, but told people who asked that they could help save it by putting money into the big, glass jar on the table.

They collected a large sum of money during the day. The skit ended with Funt talking to someone about donating when Funt's cell phone rang, right on schedule. Funt answered it, said,"Okay thanks, that's great!" and hung up. Then he started taking down all the displays and the banner.

"What are you doing?" the other man demanded.

"Going home," answered Funt. "They saved it."

"Saved what?" said the man.

"The Grand Canyon," said Funt. "They saved it. Well, bye."
