Who's Going To Tell Al?

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling

That's the headline today at DailyTech.com.

This past year we've seen an explosion in what the author call's "anecdotal evidence" of mass global cooling. This list includes, but is not limited to, China seeing it coldest winter in 100 years, Baghdad having its first snow in all recorded history, North America having the most snowcover in 50 years (along with Serbia), places like Wisconsin the highest snow since record-keeping began, record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile....

Now the hard evidence is in. Four temperature gathering agencies all track the cooling. The hard science is irrefutable.

However, the most interesting nugget from the DailyTech.com article is this:

    Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.

    Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

Now, isn't that interesting? And the global warming fascists have been telling us for years that heat is the real killer. Now it turns out it isn't. Cold is!

Does this mean Al Gore is going to have to hand back his Nobel Prize and his Oscar?
