Arctic Sea Ice Near Record Low Levels As Global Warming Surges Ahead

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/seaicesept062011.jpg

Research published this week that demonstrates that the theory of Roy Spencer that clouds, and not carbon dioxide emissions, are driving global warming, is not consistent with measured facts, or with logic. You probably won’t hear about this study during the presidential debate tonight.

Ron Paul Competes With Rick Perry For Title Of King Crazy

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ronpaulhoax.jpg

A flaming wall of evidence for the reality of global warming is burning in Ron Paul’s own back yard. Yet, he still calls climate change just a hoax. Texas is paying the price for his arrogant refusal to admit that he was wrong about global warming. Global warming is real. Ron Paul is a hoax.

Global Warming is Real. Rick Perry is a Fake.

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/gwrealrpfake.jpg

As the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry has refused to do anything to stop his state’s disproportionate contribution to global warming. What’s more, Governor Perry has ridiculed those leaders who have tried to confront the problem. Global warming has scientifically been linked to bigger and more frequent wildfires. Over all the years that Rick Perry has been in the Governor’s Mansion in Austin, he has acted to increase the risk of extreme wildfires. Now 852 Texas homes have been destroyed in only 48 hours. Rick Perry has fiddled while Texas burns.
