Don’t Use the Brave Scouts as Your Global Warming Victims.
BLENCOE, Iowa (AP) | When the howling winds finally died down, the Boy Scouts – true to their motto, “Be Prepared” – sprang into action.
Putting their first-aid training to use, they applied tourniquets and gauze to the injured. Some began digging victims from the rubble of a collapsed chimney. And others broke into an equipment shed, seized chainsaws and other tools, and started clearing fallen trees from a road.
Dozens of the Scouts, ages 13 to 18, were hailed for their bravery and resourcefulness Thursday, the morning after a twister flattened their camp in Iowa and killed four boys.
I was a Boy Scout, and I’ve been camping during thunderstorms. It’s a frightening experience when there’s little between you and the power of nature but a tent. These Scouts deserve every accolade folks will give them. It won’t replace their friends, but it will do much to teach all of us that with good training and the calmness that brings, you can do quite a lot of good. The boys lives up to their motto and pledge. Their friends and families and communities ought to be very proud of them. As a former Scout, I know I am.
The Scouts certainly deserve better than to be the first item of a disgusting propaganda ploy by one of the left’s biggest money machines. The dead Scouts certainly do not deserves to be used as the tools of a leftist fable.
The evidence for the consequences of global warming is appearing with alarming frequency. This morning’s headlines are filled with tales of deadly weather: “At least four people were killed and about 40 injured when a tornado tore through a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa on Wednesday night”…
That’s shameful. Not only is it untrue (there is no indication that global warming had a darned thing to do with these tornadoes) but it’s ghoulish. The dead aren’t even in their graves and the left is trying to make coin off of them.
This statement of theirs is also worth a chunk of scorn.
Although the deadly weather has been front-page news all season, and news channels dedicate hours of coverage to “Extreme Weather,” the media are strangely reluctant to discuss severe weather events in the context of climate change
The reason for that is that the severe weather we’ve seen is not, in fact, caused by climate change. Weather and climate, as we are so often reminded by the Cult of Global Warming, are different. That’s why when Al Gore’s Traveling Salvation Show is met with surprise blizzards we are told that it doesn’t mean anything. It’s why, when folks like me note that last month was colder than the climate change models predicted, I’m told that it doesn’t matter. It’s why I’m told it’s not important to note that this past January set records for low temeratures and snowfall all around the world. None of that matters.
Only making a point over the bodies of dead Boy Scouts matters. That ought to bother us at least a little.

They have no shame…they will use anyone, even the dead.
What I'd like to know is how on earth do they explain all the tornados, flooding & fires that happened prior to global warming? The only difference between today & a way back when is there are more poeple and more technology to capture these events that were happening long before we populated these places.
Severe weather is hardly anything new for "Tornado" alley. This sort of association just shows the depths of the MSM's bid to perpeturate the AGW myth…COLD air masses cause tornados, always have, alway will.
One again, they have completely side-stepped the moral of the story; the heroics and courage of the young men who knew what they needed to do and set about gettin' 'er done!

"Extreme weather to increase with climate change"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Droughts will get dryer, storms will get stormier and floods will get deeper with changing climate, a government research report said Thursday. Events that have seemed relatively rare will become commonplace, said the latest report from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, a joint effort of more than a dozen government agencies…
Of course, spoots. Dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria!
Of course, the fact that temperatures have dropped on average in the past three years doesn't mean a thing, right? Or how about the plateau over the past ten years? Or this past January, which was so cold it erased any temperature increases that had happened over that decadal plateau?
Seriously, when are you going to figure out that we're panicking about a system that has been going on for a very, very long time based on information that we have gleaned in a very imperfect way for at best a couple centuries?
