Cranky Greg's View

We're All Gonna Die!

According to the New York Times, millions of Americans drink dirty water.

More on the Global Warming Hoax

Oh brother.  There's a "study" that purports to show that winters in the Northeast are warming up quickly!

But then we hear that the Northeast is bracing for another severe winter storm, and Boston is expecting up to one foot of snow!

Oh well.  Cranky Greg is happy in Fresno because when everything melts and oceans rise, he'll be hot and dry while all of the "Sky is Falling" Global Warming Gore Lemmings will be swimming around their underwater homes on both coasts.

Good God!  Cranky Greg is still amazed that people are fooled by this Global Warming silliness.

Silly Al

Al Gore is so silly!  He's all jacked up now because he won a Nobel Peace Prize and some dumb guys placed a big ol' ad in The New York Times begging Silly Al to run for President.

Regarding the Nobel Peace Prize issue, Cranky Greg cannot take an award seriously when it has also been awarded to the punk terrorist, the late Yasser Arafat.  The award has also been bestowed up the former leader of the U.N., the corrupt Kofi Anan.  It was awarded to Jimmy Carter who fostered the Cold War by refusing to stand up to creeping Soviet Communism.  In 1988, it was awarded to the U.N. Peacekeeping forces.  (Seriously!)

With company like this, how could Silly Al not be giddy?

Cranky Greg hates to rain on Silly Al's parade by pointing out that he has now joined the company of Yasser Arafat, but his Global Warming scare tactics are simply bogus.

Consider the comments of Dr. William Gray, who says that we are going to look back on this era of Global Warming madness and laugh.

Al Gore will eventually become a Big Joke.  For now, there are many in MSM who take this loon seriously.  Silly Al can fly around in fancy jets and use massive amounts of energy to heat the mansion that houses the Green Man of The People, and MSM looks the other way.

Talk about Teflon!

Cranky Greg is ahead of the curve, as usual.  He's already laughing at this Global Warming hysteria.  He's already laughing at Silly Al.

It's so funny!

Global Warming or Ice Age?

This is James Hansen, a "scientist" who has an ego bigger the hole in the ozone layer.  He parades around scaring politicians into believing that Global Warming exists.

He even accused the Bush League Administration of using NASA to try to silence him from warning of the dangers of Global Warming.

Has this snake oil scientist always believed in Global Warming?
Well, not according to this editorial.  In 1971, Hansen warmed of the coming Ice Age!

Atlantic Hurricanes Double!

Here's another one for the Stupid "Studies" category.

According to a stupid "study," global warming has caused the a doubling of hurricanes in the Atlantic over the past century.

Cranky Greg's not buying this one.  Does anyone know how many hurricanes there were in 1602?  How about 1405?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, then that means this "study" is absurd.

Besides, Cranky Greg remembers hearing about the horrible hurricane seasons that were to follow after Katrina.

Seems to Cranky Greg that it's been pretty quiet since then.

New Study: Obesity is Contagious!

Here's a new entry for Stupid "Studies":  obesity is contagious!

According to a study - a federally funded one at that - (and who knows more about obesity than the bloated federal government?) if you hang around fat people, you will get fat, too.

Obesity is socially contagious.

Gullible James Fowler from the University of California at San Diego, was "...stunned to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door!"

There's more:

The study found a person's chances of becoming obese went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling did and 37 percent if a spouse did. In the closest friendships, the risk almost tripled.

Cranky Greg's mad at his sisters!  (kidding)
And Cranky Greg's mad at his friends!  And you know who you are!

Have a Soft Drink and Die!

File this one under Cranky Greg's new category of "Stupid Studies."

The American Heart Association says if you consume one or more soft drinks a day, even if they are diet soft drinks, you have a greater risk of heart problems and diabetes.

Cranky Greg doesn't buy it because they say there is no difference between regular and diet sodas.

Makes no sense to Cranky Greg, and CG is waiting for a later study that will say something like clear soft drinks increase life span by 28 days, and dark soft drinks cause colon cancer.

Oh brother!
