I read the ratings and only found network ratings, not individual ratings. CNN is ranked second to Fox. I cannot understand why liberals seem to take it personally when someone questions this \’crisis du jour\’ Gorebal warming. Don\’t you hope the new data about Gorebal warming is incorrect?
During the last 10,000 years climate has been seesawing between the North and South Atlantic Oceans. As revealed by findings presented by Quaternary scientists at Lund University, Sweden, cold periods in the north have corresponded to warmth in the south and vice verse. These results imply that Europe may face a slightly cooler future than predicted by IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The research group, currently consisting of Svante Björck, Karl Ljung and Dan Hammarlund, has retrieved cores of lake sediments and peat along a north-south transect of Atlantic islands and adjacent land areas: Greenland, Iceland, Faroes, Azores, Tristan da Cunha, Isla de los Estados, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Based on detailed analyses of geochemistry, mineral magnetism and pollen content, hitherto unknown details of Atlantic climate dynamics have been resolved. Extensive radiocarbon dating and rapid sedimentation rates in the terrestrial deposits allow a much higher temporal resolution of the data than provided by marine sediment cores.
Our records reflect details of the climatic evolution in the Atlantic region since the end of the last Ice Age to the present day. We would have liked to compare our results to similar data sets from other parts of the South Atlantic, but no other records provide the same degree of resolution, says Professor Björck. After the end of the last Glacial both Hemispheres became warmer as a result of melting ice sheets, but during the last 9000 years we can identify a persistent \”seesaw\” pattern. When the South Atlantic was warm it was cold in the North Atlantic and vice versa.
This is most certainly related to large-scale ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean. The main current system – \”the Great Ocean Conveyor\” – is driven by sinking of dense, relatively cold and salty water in the northern North Atlantic. This results in southward-flowing deep-water that is replaced by warm surface water brought to high northern latitudes from the tropics and ultimately from the South Atlantic, says Svante Björck, and continues:
The deep-water formation in the north is dependent on cooling of surface water with a high salt content. If sufficiently large amounts of fresh water are supplied to the North Atlantic, such as from melting ice-sheets or major increases in precipitation, the deep-water formation, and hence the transport of warm surface water from the south, may cease or at least decrease substantially.
This is known to have happened repeatedly during the present Interglacial (the warm period since the last Ice Age). Minor disturbances have taken place in recent time, such as the Great Salt Anomaly in the 1970s, which seriously affected the cod population around the Faroe Islands. Our results from Nightingale Island in the Tristan da Cunha island group, between South Africa and Argentina, for the first time give evidence of warming of the South Atlantic associated with cooling in the north. This is a major breakthrough in palaeoclimate research.
In agreement with most other climate researchers, the Lund group is not concerned about a complete shut-down of the Gulf Stream as envisioned in the apocalyptic film \”The day after tomorrow\”. However, future warming induced by anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions may influence the system.
We don’t know with certainty what will happen. Some attempts at measuring ocean currents suggest a recent weakening of the Gulf Stream, and the transport of heat to the North Atlantic region may well decrease in the future as a result of increased precipitation. Such a scenario might lead to less warming in Europe than predicted by the IPCC, but we will probably not face an arctic climate, summarizes Svante Björck.

With all due respect, American Idol and Dance with the stars probably get good ratings but I don\’t watch. When it comes to 24 hour news channels, I\’m watching for any dissenting opinion before I run off the Gorebal Warming cliff with other lemmings. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. For the sake of our economy, I\’m hoping the news is about 10% as bad as the Gorebal Warming Zombies (GWZ\’s) will have me believe.
I just watched Glen Beck and feel a lot better. Why? Because, in spite of Al Gore I am reassured that we still have opportunity for healthy debate about something so critical as our economy and lifestyle. If, key word if, we at some future date (probably after the next presidential election) we reach a consensus, I am sure it will be that there are things we can improve. Never mind that that conversation would have occurred without the artificial FEAR that makes the media, which now includes lefty hero Al Gore, a ton of money. I am a conservative, not a republican, a conservative. That means I have the patience to allow those who are paid to analyze circumstances, in this case climatologists and scientists, to study and then reveal the latest greatest truth.
Remember when scientists thought the world was flat? Well, probably not. But there were some who did. The ones who didnt were thrown under the bus. Kind of like those of us patient enough to wait before shutting down our lifestyle at the suggestion of Laura David (wife of comedian, not one I\’ll take advice from unless I am trying to nail a punchline).
No wonder the world hates us.
What organization corrects liberal misinformation in the US? Here’s one: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/default.asp. They reveal the interlocking nature of such Democrat Party fronts as “Media Matters.” As you will see if you follow this link, it gets funding from George Soros, Theresa Heinz, former Clintonistas and so on. It is to honest discourse what graffiti is to art. Oh, and one of their higher ups defends terrorist apologist Sami Al-Arian.
His ratings stink because he\’s on a liberal network that no one watches. And since Media Matters is liberal, it means that it lies. Liberalism is a lie and can only seem plausible to fools if it lies. Not all liberals are fools. The one\’s that know that liberalism is a lie and promote it anyway are evil.

for another perspective. I know, half will, half will not. For breakdown of who will and who won\’t check party affiliation.

Glenn Beck has terrible ratings for a reason, and it\’s not because Democrats don\’t watch…but hey, don\’t take my word for it, here are the facts…
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/
His different perspective, at least today, was to compare Gore & Hitler. How orginal and thought provoking…

Well, at least you didn\’t accuse Media Matters of lying…Beck did compare Gore to Hitler.
Which of course is another reason why his ratings stink.
His ratings stink because he\’s on a liberal network that no one watches. And since Media Matters is liberal, it means that it lies. Liberalism is a lie and can only seem plausible to fools if it lies. Not all liberals are fools. The one\’s that know that liberalism is a lie and promote it anyway are evil.
Well Chilly, I suppose that\’s one way to look at it.
Glenn Beck – A puppet of liberals. Your a very funny person Chilly, but in an endearing kind of way.
