Rush makes the case that bottled water is more harmful to the environment than oil:

“All right, I have some of the most hilarious and revealing stories in our global warming stack today. From the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, story by Jared Blumenfeld and Susan Leal. Listen to this. San Franciscans and other Bay Area residents enjoy some of the nation’s highest quality drinking water, with pristine Sierra snowmelt from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir as our primary source. Every year, our water is tested more than 100,000 times to ensure that it meets or exceeds every standard for safe drinking water. And yet we still buy bottled water. Why? Maybe it’s because we think bottled water is cleaner and somehow better, but that’s not true. The federal standards for tap water are higher than those for bottled water. The Environmental Law Foundation has sued eight bottlers for using words such as “pure” to market water that contains bacteria, arsenic and chlorine. Bottled water is no bargain either: It costs 240 to 10,000 times more than tap water. For the price of one bottle of Evian, a San Franciscan can receive 1,000 gallons of tap water.

SOME BAD NEWS FOR THE GLOBAL WARMING FANATICS

What bad news?

The hurricane season. Things aren’t quite going the way the global warming crowd predicted. There have only been three tropical storms thus far. This is about average for the short term, but if you average it out over multiple years this would be below average.

Hurricanes?  Thanks for asking, but there hasn’t been one as of yet.  None. Nada.  Zip. Nunca.  Averaging between 19044 and 2005 we would have seen about 1.5 hurricanes thus far. Again … we’ve seen none.

According to weatherstreet.com the National Weather Service predicted 12 to 15 named storms by December of this year. There were 27 last year. Now it looks like the 12 to 15 prediction may be a bit high.

OK … so the global warming nuts were wrong. They predicted a horrible hurricane season. It isn’t happening. So … what’s different? What happened? Here’s where you global warmistas need to sit down. Surface temperatures on the world’s oceans are getting …… cooler. According to a paper to be published next month in Geophysical Research Letters, between 2003 and 2005 globally averaged temperatures in the upper levels of the ocean have cooled.  They’ve cooled not just a little … but dramatically.  Sea surface temperatures in the western Atlantic .. where hurricanes are fueled … are now slightly below normal.

Oh well.  Whatchagonna do! 

There’s always the glaciers you can go to in order to prove your global warming scenario.
