More global warming whatever

Another person who wants to impose all sorts of anti-global warming measures on the rest of us but whose own personal needs outweigh his devotion to the environment:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who once joked that Sacramento was "death," apparently doesn't want to spend many nights in the graveyard.

As the Los Angeles Times reported last week, the governor has been spending nearly every night in his Brentwood mansion, shuttling between Sacramento and Southern California in his private jet. ...

And what about the cost to the environment? The governor's staff says he purchases "carbon credits." Such credits are aimed at offsetting the greenhouse gases generated by his flights but do nothing about the particulates and smog-forming compounds they spew into the air. ...

The link is here. I don't know who said it first, but he/she said it best: I'll believe global warming is a crisis when the people who believe in it act as if it is. Or something like that.

On a related topic, I heard on the radio last week that global warming has slowed down or stopped, considering the most recent record was set in 1998. I haven't verified that, but I do know that our northern neighbors (Canada, not Findlay, Ohio) are in their worst winter in years thanks to La Nina, and there's no relief in sight. According to one news article, most of Canada';s snow falls in March, and they're expecting more soon.

There are plenty of such stories to read. Go to Google News and search for "Canada" and "winter" and see what you get. For one such story, go here.

No wonder Al Gore and his followers have been so quiet lately.
