I received two comments in response to my answer to an earlier comment on video gambling. I plan to respond. However, not immediately. It is November 30th, and I still haven’t posted my regular article on the record high temperatures in Peoria for the month of November as of November 2008. That’s tonight’s post and tomorrow I plan to post the record high temperatures for December as well as at least two additional posts on “Global Warming.” I do plan to return to video gambling soon depending upon what the Senate does in relation to nationalizing healthcare.
The record high temperatures for November:
On July 6th, 2007, I posted for the first time on my blog the record high temperature for Peoria, Illinois for each day of the month of July with the year the record occurred. I began the post with this paragraph:
Anyone ever ask you, “Hot enough for you?” It seems like I hear that every summer. I was at a funeral recently. I can’t remember the age of the person but I think she was around 90 years of age. One of the individuals who talked about her life mentioned that she often talked about how hot it was in 1936. 1936? But global warming is a new phenomenon! How could it be hot in 1936?
I had a post for each month from July of 2007 through June of 2008. I stopped at June because I did not have the new figures for the second half of the year. I now have the figures for January through December. Therefore, I thought I would begin the process again.

For November:
01) The record high temperatures for November ranged from 81° to a low of 62°.
02) There was one high in the 80’s, five in the 60’s, and twenty-four in the 70’s.
03) The most record high temperatures for a decade occurred in the 1930’s with 6.
04) The decade of the 1910’s had 5 record high temperature dates.
05) The first four decades of the 1900’s had 16 record high temperature dates.
06) No decade in the 1800’s had a record high date.
07) Each decade of the 1900’s had at least two record high temperature dates except for the 1960’s when there was no record high dates.
08) Only one date in the 2000’s had a record high temperature.
In January, the 2000’s led the 1930’s by a 2 to 1 margin. The 1930’s from January through February had 10 record high temperatures. The 2000’s had five. The 1930’s had one more record high temperature in March giving the 1930’s a total of 11 for the first three months of the year. The 2000’s added four more record high temperatures to its previous total of five increasing its three month total to nine just two less than the eleven of the 1930’s. Both the 1930’s and the 2000’s had four more record high temperatures in April. With the addition of five record highs in May, the 1930’s has 20 record high temperatures through May while the 2000’s, with only one additional, has 14 highs. June has shut out the 2000’s while adding 15 more for the 1930’s. The 1930’s has now more than doubled the 2000’s having a comfortable lead of 35 to 14 thus ending the first half of the year.
July has again shut out the 2000’s while adding 19 more for the 1930’s. The 1930’s has almost four times the number of record high days as the 2000’s having a very comfortable lead of 54 to 14. August kept adding to the 1930’s lead going to 62 for the 1930’s and 16 for the 2000’s. However, the lead is not quite 4 to 1. (16 X 4 = 64) September added 11days to the 1930’s resulting in a grand total of 73 days compared to one additional day for the 2000’s and a total of 17 days. The 1930’s has only two more record highs than the 2000’s for October—5-3. The total is now 78 record highs for the 1930’s and 20 for the 2000’s. November added 6 additional days for a total of 84 record highs for the 1930’s. The 2000’s added only 1 more record high temperature for 21 for the 2000’s. The 1930’s are exactly 4 times ahead of the 2000’s—4 times!!!
That’s it! It’s over! One month left and the 1930’s are 63 record highs ahead. The 2000’s can NOT catch up. The only question left is how many days will the 1930’s end up ahead? Too bad! It seems that the 2000’s aren’t nearly as hot as the 1930’s at least as far as record high temperatures in Peoria. “Global Warming” proven!!! OR NOT!!!
This is what the Bible says about our climate: “Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: ‘Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.’” Genesis 8: 20-22 (NIV)
This is what the Bible says about GOD’S promises: “‘God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?’” Numbers 23: 19 (NIV)
Now, let me think. Should I believe “Al Gore and his cohorts’ prediction of “Global Warming” fifty years into the future or should I believe GOD’S sure PROMISE?
GOD’S PROMISE: “‘As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.’”
Al Gore’s fantasy prediction 50 years into the future: catastrophe of man’s own making
The winner is:
As I’ve said before, no human can accurately predict what the weather is going to be like 50 years from today. We have difficulty predicting with 100% accuracy what the weather is going to be like seven days from now. This I do know. If GOD wants global warming as predicted by the “Al Gore gang” to occur, there is NOTHING man can do to stop it. If GOD doesn’t want global warming to occur, it won’t, no matter what man does. Of course, GOD could always let man proceed as they choose without HIS hand in it either way. I don’t know what will occur 50 years from now and NEITHER DOES any other human on this planet!
This I also know. If I were living a life of SIN, I’d be more concerned about what GOD will do today and tomorrow or what will happen to me after my death (none of us has a guarantee that we will live another fifty years) than what is going to occur in another 50 years!!!
