Remember how the left has been screaming about GLOBAL WARMING!!!\u00c2\u00a0<\/del>\u00c2\u00a0CLIMATE CHANGE and how it’s going to kill us all and melt the poles by 2015 and kill all the polar bears by 2020?<\/p>\n

Of course you do, you can’t miss it. \u00c2\u00a0It’s on every leftist news program every other day.<\/p>\n

There’s just one little inconvenient truth that the left has forgotten to tell you.<\/p>\n

The planet stopped warming 10 years ago and they can’t explain it.<\/p>\n

Think I’m lying? \u00c2\u00a0Think I’m spouting the Faux News rightist lies? \u00c2\u00a0Think I’m an idiot? \u00c2\u00a0Well think what you want but I have facts on my side.<\/p>\n

Here’s the graph the left likes you to look at.<\/p>\n

\"Median<\/a>

Median Temperature over the Last 110 Years.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looks pretty damning doesn’t it? \u00c2\u00a0Looks like they are right and the earth is headed toward hellfire and damnation (although they don’t believe in hell or damnation).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But look at a graph of the last 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Median<\/a>

Median Temps 2002-2012<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well look at that! \u00c2\u00a0The average temp over the last 10 years has been pretty stable. \u00c2\u00a0The temperature hasn’t been going up. \u00c2\u00a0It’s flatlined. \u00c2\u00a0In fact if you plot just the last 7 years it’s actually gone down. \u00c2\u00a0But the left won’t tell you that. \u00c2\u00a0It doesn’t help their story.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong. \u00c2\u00a0I’m not actually suggesting that the earth is not going to get warmer and the poles aren’t going to melt and the polar bears aren’t going to all die. \u00c2\u00a0The earth has been warming and cooling for millions, nay billions of years. \u00c2\u00a0What I am suggesting is the left has been lying to you and they keep lying to you. \u00c2\u00a0Just look at Politifact.com and the Lie of the Year if you have any doubts that the left lies.<\/p>\n

What I do want you to do is think for yourself and get the data for yourself. \u00c2\u00a0Don’t rely on MSNBC or Fox News to get your data. \u00c2\u00a0They both have agendas and neither one is really looking out for you.<\/p>\n

I got the data from these plots here<\/a> if anyone wants to check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
