Alabama State Climatologist: "Alabama's getting colder, not warmer"
Nora Parker from Directions Magazine and Adena Schutzberg at The All Points Blog report on the Rocket City Geospatial Conference in Huntsville. The keynote presentation was given by recent Nobel Prize winner Dr. John Christy from the University of Alabama-Huntsville, also the Alabama State Climatologist:
"Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama-Huntsville, and the Alabama State Climatologist, gave the keynote presentation this morning at the Rocket City Geospatial Conference in Huntsville. Dr. Christy received (along with the other scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore) a Nobel Peace Prize last week.

Here are some of the other statements Dr. Christy made during his presentation.
- Alabama's getting colder, not warmer, and its precipitation is increasing.
- The Antarctic ice cap is thickening.
- Worldwide, the number of tornadoes is declining, the number of hurricanes is about the same and there are now fewer droughts and those are shorter."
I don't know about you, but I am confused...

I wish I could win a Nobel Prize for cyclical events in the universe, which occur even without Al Gore noticing them...
It's refreshing to hear a voice of reason. Competent climatologists understand there are no reliable forecasts of future climate. The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Chage indicate that any human activity that might be contributing to global warming (CO2 increase) is small to negligible. It is sad to see so much economic activity wasted on this subject. Hopefully, this too, will fizzle like the ethanol panacea.
