Global Warming Confusion
Today's entry on global warming covers confusion on two matters--one as to events in the current weather and the other as to political leadership.
In the first case, Johannesburg has experienced its first snow since 1981, and South Africa is in the grips of continued snow and ice. In the second case, Illinois Sen. Obama said that gas guzzlers add to the world's hotter temperatures and that people should switch to higher mileage hybrids. So, why is there confusion?
Well, as to the snow in South Africa, snow and ice are cold--not hot. But, I guarantee you that some leftist is already explaining how global warming is causing the colder temperatures there. After all, they have made statements before to that effect. It must be nice to take a position on global warming to where you are right if it gets hotter and you are also right if it gets colder. That's like me picking the winner of the World Series by saying that a certain team may win--or it may not win. Take that tip to your bookie.
As to the good Senator, after condemning gas guzzlers, he left in his SUV. His spin folks covered the damage by saying that his SUV ran on ethanol--which it does not. Maybe that explains the pinging he's been hearing.
Never underestimate the fables and hypocrisy of the left--especially when it involves global warming. I'm still waiting for some real and honest science to prove exaggerated claims on that issue. The only problem...you don't get grants unless your position is to accept the premise up front; and, those activist "former" scientists, if paid enough, will claim that we can fly to the sun if we simply go at night.

No where was any mode Envoy noted as e85 capable. Many vehicles are but not the Envoy.
Another "limousine liberal" trying to cover his ....

In order to not disappoint you, I have to ask you how you know that the Senators SUV did not run on ethanol? I read the support piece by Dadvocate, so why didn't I read that his SUV was a GMC Envoy. Now when you tell me that the SUV in question is a GMC Envoy, I'll have a problem believing you. Being a repub doesn't mean that you are truthful. Witness your president! I really do enjoy your confirmation bias Woody. Keep it up.

James,
Try doing a little more research and you might actually sound intelligent some day.

"After the meeting... Obama left in a GMC Envoy after admitting to favoring SUV's himself. "

James, my first response is "Huh?" (Did anyone else understand what James was saying?)
On the hunch that this may answer your question, the link that I provided gives the details as to how I knew what kind of vehicle O'bama (meaning Irishman from Tuscaloosa) used and that it was not compatible with ethanol. To my knowledge, everything that I wrote about the Senator and his vehicle is correct and supported by the links.
When you referred to Bush as MY President, do you also infer that he is not YOUR President? What does that say about you and/or the left?

That he finds the president untruthful is also revealing. The eye-rolling of your friends is not generally considered scientific evidence, James.
Be suspicious of what "everyone knows."

Good post Woody!
More examples of leftist hysteria.
There "facts" are a facade, designed to deceive.
