Let's Hold off with the Global Warming Hysteria

The Maryland Weather Blog noted something tonight (bolded emphaiss mine):
AT BWI...THE AVERAGE TEMP OF 43.5F DURING THE 45 DAYS (DEC 1-JAN 14) MARKING THE FIRST HALF OF WINTER RANKS IT 4TH WARMEST ON RECORD...SINCE 1872. THE WARMEST SIMILAR 45 DAY WINTER PERIOD WAS ALSO DURING`THE WINTER 1889-90 WHEN THE AVERAGE TEMP WAS 46.6F. ONLY A TRACE OF SNOW HAS FALLEN SO FAR IN BALTIMORE SINCE DEC 1ST...TYING IT WITH 10 OTHER SIMILAR FIRST HALF WINTER PERIODS...INCLUDING LAST WINTER. TOTAL PRECIPITATION SO FAR OF 4.18" FOR THIS PERIOD IS SLIGHTLY BELOW THE NORMAL RAINFALL OF 4.95".
So yes, this has happened before. The Global Warming boogeyman is not at fault for this one...

An interesting tidbit of information came out from the UN on Global warming in November that I don’t believe was widely reported. The report claimed that it is not the usually blamed culprit Homo Sapien Sapien and his faithful companion Rota Quattuor Automo Bilus. It is, they revealed the favored dinner of choice except in India, none other than Bos Taurus that generates more greenhouse gasses.
It seems those dastardly uncaring and oh so delicious Ungulates are to blame, which would explain the exceptional warm winter of 1889-90 with all the cattle drives taking place in the late 19th century.
Henning Steinfeld of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization says this, “Livestock are one of the most significant contributor’s to today’s most serious environmental problems”. In typical UN fashion they feel the need to solve the problem before Bessy causes our extinction, I can’t help but wonder if they are trying to get us back for the extinction of their ancestor Bos primigenius. They are currently and urgently searching for ways to reduce Cow Emissions. If they can’t do it through diet I am sure they will come up with a Bovine Catalytic Converter and pretty soon the state will charge farmers fifteen dollars a head every two years to hook them up to testing stations. So if you see an animal with a BCC jutting out its backside you’ll know the UN has been by.
And if you think about it, when you follow the Bovinae advice to “Eat Mor Chikin” you are contributing to the catastrophe that is about to befall us all.
As a side note to this I found out that Cows and Catalytic Converters increases the amount of Nitrous Oxide in the atmosphere which could explain why I was laughing so hard when I read the report! So remember if you want to save the environment and good ole Homo Sapien Sapien with it, eat a cow.
