Skip to comments.The Great Global Warming Hoax? (Devastates the Gore-ons, but long)
Posted on 07/10/2008 12:16:22 PM PDT by pogo101
..."Global Warming" in recent historical times has been an undisputable fact, and no one can reasonably deny that.
But we're hearing far too often that the "science" is "settled", and that it is mankind's contribution to the natural CO2 in the atmosphere has been the principal cause of an increasing "Greenhouse Effect", which is the root "cause" of global warming. We're also hearing that "all the world's scientists now agree on this settled science", and it is now time to quickly and most radically alter our culture, and prevent a looming global catastrophe. And last, but not least, we're seeing a sort of mass hysteria sweeping our culture which is really quite disturbing. Historians ponder how the entire nation of Germany could possibly have goose-stepped into place in such a short time, and we have similar unrest. Have we become a nation of overnight loonies?
Sorry folks, but we're not exactly buying into the Global Hysteria just yet. ...
Now our puzzle is complete, and we can visualize the whole thing.
1. The sun heats the earth, repository of most of the CO2 on the planet.
2. Some stored CO2 comes out by a process known as outgassing ( from the soil ) and the champagne effect ( from the oceans ). The oceans are by far the largest source.
3. Sloppy "scientists" see the warming, and the CO2, but overlook the changes in the sun, don't see the fine differences in timing... and proceed to blame the increasing temperature on CO2 and mankind as the culprit in a classic knee-jerk reaction.
Summary - Exactly what have we learned here?
1. The "Greenhouse Effect" is a natural and valuable phenomenon, without which, the planet would be uninhabitable.
2. Modest Global Warming, at least up until 1998 when a cooling trend began, has been real.
3. CO2 is not a significant greenhouse gas; 95% of the contribution is due to Water Vapor.
4. Man's contribution to Greenhouse Gasses is relatively insignificant. We didn't cause the recent Global Warming and we cannot stop it.
5. Solar Activity appears to be the principal driver for Climate Change, accompanied by complex ocean currents which distribute the heat and control local weather systems.
6. CO2 is a useful trace gas in the atmosphere, and the planet would actually benefit by having more, not less of it, because it is not a driver for Global Warming and would enrich our vegetation, yielding better crops to feed the expanding population.
7. CO2 is not causing global warming, in fact, CO2 is lagging temperature change in all reliable datasets. The cart is not pulling the donkey, and the future cannot influence the past.
8. Nothing happening in the climate today is particularly unusual, and in fact has happened many times in the past and will likely happen again in the future.
9. The UN IPCC has corrupted the "reporting process" so badly, it makes the oil-for-food scandal look like someone stole some kid's lunch money. They do not follow the Scientific Method, and modify the science as needed to fit their predetermined conclusions. In empirical science, one does NOT write the conclusion first, then solicit "opinion" on the report, ignoring any opinion which does not fit their predetermined conclusion while falsifying data to support unrealistic models.
10. Polar Bear populations are not endangered, in fact current populations are healthy and at almost historic highs. The push to list them as endangered is an effort to gain political control of their habitat... particularly the North Slope oil fields.
11. There is no demonstrated causal relationship between hurricanes and/or tornadoes and global warming. This is sheer conjecture totally unsupported by any material science.
12. Observed glacial retreats in certain select areas have been going on for hundreds of years, and show no serious correlation to short-term swings in global temperatures.
13. Greenland is shown to be an island completely surrounded by water, not ice, in maps dating to the 14th century. There is active geothermal activity in the currently "melting" sections of Greenland.
14. The Antarctic Ice cover is currently the largest ever observed by satellite, and periodic ice shelf breakups are normal and correlate well with localized tectonic and geothermal activity along the Antarctic Peninsula.
15. The Global Warming Panic was triggered by an artifact of poor mathematics which has been thoroughly disproved. The panic is being deliberately nurtured by those who stand to gain both financially and politically from perpetuation of the hoax.
16. Scientists who "deny" the hoax are often threatened with loss of funding or even their jobs.
17. The correlation between solar activity and climate is now so strong that solar physicists are now seriously discussing the much greater danger of pending global cooling.
18. Biofuel hysteria is already having a disastrous effect on world food supplies and prices, and current technologies for biofuel production consume more energy than the fuels produce.
19. Global Warming Hysteria is potentially linked to a stress-induced mental disorder.
20. In short, there is no "climate crisis" of any kind at work on our planet.
Did not see this posted in recent threads on Global Warming, and I believe the article itself is new, but obviously please delete it if it is a duplicate.
Bookmark for later.
It is. These facts are well known by people who follow the issue, but you will never see them reported.
bump for later.
I think we are going to see some physical violence against some of these waccos (however you spell it). People are starting to get fed up.
Good article, but it will have no effect on the indoctrinated masses who want to feel like they are "saving the planet". It "feels" good to save the planet.
To accept that climate is doing as it has ever done and that man can't control it is an anathema to these neo-marxists.
"Global Warming" is so yesterday! The current buzz is Global Climate Change, where ANY change in the climate can be blamed on Mankind's destruction of the environment! The watermelons cover all bases that way.
Truth is that Climat changes, period. That's what it's supposed to do.
There was a NASA scientist on C-SPAN a couple of weeks ago who said he didn't believe the sun had any effect on the climate!!!!
Great post, and very good read. Well done from a scientific perspective. About the only thing I'd liked to have seen explored more was the emerging correlation between volcanic activity and warming. Mt. St. Helens, Pinitubo, et al, in addition to increased solar activity may have contributed greatly to some of the warming that happened in the last half of the 1900's.
He lost me there. Who could possible believe that the sun has anything to do with the temperature of the planet? That's just crazy.
Cut & save an EXTRA cord of firewood every year, to stave off future freezing.
Grow & store an extra ton of corn for your pellet stove each season, ditto.
Start raising a few mink or chinchillas, to make fur coats later.
Start raising rabbits, to put meat on the table, manure on the garden, and fur on the hands, feet, and ears.
Buy and raise a pair or two of eider ducks, to collect down for quilts, vests, etc.
Start banking greenhouse credits, guaranteeing to unsequester an extra ton of CO^2/credit at a future date.
Google climate insecurity.
He should visit Mercury, or Pluto to get a first hand look at the influence of the sun on a planet's climate.
How many times has the climate in earths history changed? How many times has humankind caused it? If there IS climate change, could be it's just happening again... on its on?
IMHO, what we have here is the 21st Century version of the ancient pagan claim that our mishaps are a result of "angering the gods". In the dim past, earthquakes, storms and other assorted catastrophes have required many sacrifices of virgins, children and other unfortunate folks to appease these angry gods! Note that the high priests and shamans demanding these "necessary" sacrifices rarely were it victims.
One wonders
Why do most all the political "elite" class (sadly 'D' and 'R' alike) jump on board with this fraud?
Could it be, only a huge government, more and more totalitarian can "solve" this "problem"?
One thing for sure! to solve this phony "crisis" our REAL freedoms will enter a permanent ice age!

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
5 is true but not very explanatory, 6 is true too
7 is not true. There is an inconsistent lag in some datasets, but they aren't relevant in the short run and not relevant now (the CO2 rise now is not primarily due to warming 800 years ago)
8 is definitely true! 9 and 10 are true too (although simple politics)
11 is not true. There is relationship between ocean warming and storm strength, demonstrated in storm models as well as real world statistics
12 is true in some cases, not others. 13 is weird, Greenland is still surrounded by water in the places that maps showed water back then.
14 is true and a good point. 15 gets a huh? 16 might be true in some cases but is important if true. 17 is somewhat true, although definitely not proven 18 is definitely true (and political) 19 is a truism and 20 is ok, although the preceding points somewhat weaken the case.
You should write to the author at the link at the bottom of his article. (Assuming, that is, that you have some documentation for your "Not true!" statements, some of which, here at least, you don't explain / substantiate.)
>Good article, but it will have no effect on the indoctrinated masses who want to feel like they are saving the planet.<
I have to agree with you totally on your statement above.
#1 may be a truism to you and me, but given the media manipulation, it is not true for vast number of people.
#2 I'm anxiously awaiting the next 5 or so year's data to make a guess as to the significance of recent plateau.
Everything having to do with solar effects, or temp plateauing, etc., is going to be much more clear starting the next 5 yrs thru the next 25 years as it is highly expected by solar scientists that the Sun's activity is going to be very different.
I'm not going to go point by point with you, but again, you done a fair job. One thing, though, on "weird" #13 - Greenland - a scientist pointed out to me that in 1299 Marco Polo sailed an apparently Ice-Free Arctic Ocean through the long lost "NorthWest Passage" from Japan->Bering Strait->very near Greenland. I've been able to discover several references related to this, but the most interesting are those that have nothing to do with global temperatures. Below is one that is speaking about magnetic declination:
The location of the two secondary magnetic poles on Mercators map suggests a further correlation to an obscure, often misunderstood passage from Marco Polos 1299 travelogue. In Chapter 51 (Book I), he makes the following observation:
This island (in the Northern Ocean) is situated so far to the north that the polar constellation appears to be behind you, and to have a southerly bearing.[18]
It is apparent from this passage in the travelogue that Marco made an observation in the field where he noted a discrepancy between the direction he was heading (north) by compass bearing and the location of Polariswhich was behind him. Of course, Polaris is situated directly above the Geographic North Pole; so it is apparent that Marco wasnt really heading north. He only thought he was heading northbecause that was the direction indicated by his compass. However, being an astute observer, he felt compelled to report an anomaly of nature that he did not understand. It seems evident that he was observing the geophysical phenomenon of magnetic declination from True North. This report, which has passed largely unnoticed and misunderstood by most readers of the travelogue should establish beyond any doubt that Marco Polo actually traveled to Asia and beyond.[19] It makes no sense that Marco would mention in his travelogue a phenomenon that he did not understandunless he was actually present and he felt compelled by the requirements of scientific practice to report what he saw.
The degree of discrepancy (declination) between Marcos direction of travel and the location of the Pole Star would have to exceed 90 º for Polaris to be at his backseemingly having a southerly bearing. This observation establishes beyond any doubt that Marco had traveled beyond Siberia to New World shores. It is only along the coast of British Columbia that the amount of declination would be sufficient to account for this kind of observation. Apparently, during the 13th century, the location of the Magnetic North Pole was much farther south than it is todayperhaps as far south or even farther south than it was when the Nancy Manuscript was written (i.e., at 66ºN latitude). James Ross determined that the pole was situated at 70º5N-96º47W in 1837. Since that time, it has moved more than 7º farther north and 5º towards the west.
It is interesting to look at other Marco Polo maps realizing that he was drawing them with respect to magnetic North instead of True North... Only then, is it possible to recognize he did a remarkably good job.
I would also note that this year's ice looks more challenging to a passage than last year's http://igloo.atmos.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/test/print.sh?fm=07&fd=10&fy=2007&sm=07&sd=10&sy=2008
Here is the map that is so fascinating to me. Image that you are drawing this map with respect to magnetic north. All of that white area at the top is open water above Siberia and Canada. There is a whole load of Canada's northern coast, as well as Russia's. That area has been virtually ice locked since Magellan, but apparently not while Polo was sailing. Below is a polar projection map - I wish I could have found a better one for comparison here. Clearly, the map above does not show the full extent of Polo's explorations in the north (or the south, either). In fact, he would not have "seen the pole star in the south" unless he got nearly to Greenland's coast.
Recall that his voyages were a mere hundred years or so after the warmest two centuries of the last 2000yrs - it is likely to have been as much as 3F warmer in 1000AD in the north pole area as it is even now. A fairly ice-free Arctic Ocean should not be surprising.
Clarification of my post, hopefully.
The polar projection map has 0 longitude at the bottom, 90W on the left. It appears to me that on Polo's map, the Canada coast is represented from about 120W-170W - the area above that squiggly red arrow. His notes indicate he sailed nearly to 90W, or even to 85W, in order to account for the relative positions of the pole star and magnetic north!

With public sentiment behind him and a deficit on the horizon, Gov. Wolf on Wednesday unveiled his plan to impose on natural gas drilling a 5 percent tax that he said could generate $1 billion for the state's public schools.
Bracing for pushback from the legislature, Wolf said lawmakers should follow the lead of pro-business states that have imposed drilling taxes amid the gas-industry boom.
"This is the best thing that could happen to the industry, because it's going to make all of us in Pennsylvania partners in the success of this industry," Wolf said at a news conference at a Chester County elementary school.

During my professional career I have worked as a programmer and software designer, consulting start-ups, multinationals and hedge funds in Tel Aviv, London and East Anglia, during which I had the pleasure of programming in object-oriented (C++, Java, Smalltalk, Eiffel), logic (PROLOG), functional (Scheme), imperative (C, Pascal, Basic, COBOL, Fortran), modular (Ada) and machine (various architectures) programming languages.
I was awarded a Master of Science in Computer Science (Cum Laude) for my research in machine learning, artificial intelligence and cognitive science in 1994 and a Doctorate in 2001 for my research in software design from the Department of Computer Science, Tel Aviv University. My [under-]graduate studies focused primarily in computer science but also covered subjects in cognitive science and philosophy, undertaken with Yehuda Elkana's Interdisciplinary Programme for Fostering Excellence (subsequently named after Adi Lautman).
I enjoy science fiction, freethinking, and cooking. I live with my son and partner in Layer de la Haye near Colchester in Essex, UK.

Disney heart throb Zac Efron is paving his way as leading man in Hollywood. His newest role as a soldier in the romantic movie The Lucky One required him to transform his body into combat shape, and it wasn't easy. The Men's Health cover model opened up to the magazine about exactly what it took to make a believable Marine, and what he learned from these real life heroes along the way.
Efron and his director went to the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to meet with real soldiers to prepare for his new role. The vibe on base was all business and Efron was inspired, and maybe a little intimidated, by the soldiers who had experienced two or three tours of duty already.
"They were my age. 23, 24, even younger," said Efron. "And most of the staff sergeants were not huge guys. They were about my height, 5'9″, 5'10", some shorter, but all very stocky. And I'm there in a backward hat and Vans, walking around like I'm still in college. It's much different from the lifestyle I'm living over here. Where do you start the conversation? I didn't know what to say, what questions were inaccurate."
Efron trained for 4 months, 5 days to week to prepare for his role, eating around 3,500 calories a day spread out over 6 to 8 meals with a heavy emphasis on protein for muscle growth- and when I say heavy, I mean heavy. Breakfast alone consisted of "A shake and, you know, an eight-egg omelet. I got used to it at the time, but I wouldn't recommend it," Efron admitted. "It's not practical to do for a long period of time."
While the regimen was tough, Efron loved seeing the results of all his hard work.
The GI Bill reimbursement benefits for veterans will now cover the expenses of the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association's (NESTA) Personal Fitness Trainer Certification Program. A career in fitness seems like a fitting career path for many former servicemen and women, because physical and mental discipline are such an important aspect of military training.
"We are very pleased to now offer military personnel the ability to earn a Personal Fitness Trainer Certification through our tuition reimbursement program, which they can complete online at their own pace," commented John Spencer Ellis, the founder of NESTA. "At NESTA, we truly salute the brave men and women who serve every day in the United States Armed Forces and thank you for your service."
The online certification program consists of video lectures and a digital manual. The self-paced program is entirely online, and will teach personal training students how to asses clients, teach techniques and design fitness programs. The classes are concluded by a 100-question exam, which is also administered online.
If you haven't heard the concept behind the hit new television show, Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, then you have been missing out on a very inspiring show. This show follows a different obese person each episode as they complete one of the hardest challenges of their lives: losing weight and redefining their lives in one year.
This week's episode featured Alex, who at 23-years old weighed 459 pounds, which made him morbidly obese. Alex had battled his weight since he was a young child. Although Alex has always loved the sport of baseball, he quit playing in high school because he was afraid of being made fun of due to his weight. His lack of physical activity and his love of fast food and hamburgers (one of his favorite meals: a hamburger with the bacon and cheese cooked into it and on top of it) showed a diet high in fat and calories that obviously lead to his obesity. Before his mother died from cancer 4 years prior, she made him promise that he would take better care of his health and lose weight. Alex finally decided it was time to honor his mother's memory.
An Army Times article reported this week that soldiers are taking drastic steps to meet the military's weight standards. Soldiers have admitted to taking diet pills and laxatives, starving themselves and getting liposuction in order to meet what some see as impossibly low weight standards.
"Liposuction saved my career — laxatives and starvation before a PFT sustains my career," an anonymous soldier told the weekly paper. "I, for one, can attest that soldiers are using liposuction, laxatives and starvation to meet height and weight standards. I did, do and still do."
Almost half of all uniformed men and women in the US Army do not meet the weight standards, according to a 2009 military fitness report, and those officers are then made to use tape measurements to determine body fat percentage. If the percentages are too high, the soldiers cannot earn promotions or hold leadership roles. A further failure to lose weight is grounds for job loss. More than 24,000 soldiers were discharged between 1992 and 2007 for failure to meet weight standards.

A New Personal Favorite
February 22, 2007
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
The Grand Regina Alpin Well&Fit Hotel is located at the foot of the famous Eiger and Jungfrau mountains, and is renowned as the winter and summer resort of Grindelwald.
Highlights include - Whirlpool, Sauna, Steam Baths, Beauty Salon, Fitness Center, Massages, solarium with light therapies and oxygen bar, heated indoor and outdoor pools - and that's only in the Alpin Well&Fit Club. Hiking, mountaineering, tennis courts, golf driving range, all winter sports, and an 18-hole golf course are nearby.
But the reason it's a new favorite of mine? It treats each and every guest like royalty - no matter what and no matter which staff member you deal with. Just don't forget to request a "Eiger north face" view room - all of the rooms have mountain views, but the Eiger is definitly the best one - if you can get it.

Buzzworthy: Villa Camilla, Azuero Peninsula, Panama
January 4, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Renowned French architect Gilles Saint-Gilles has transformed his bold vision into sublime reality with the beautiful Villa Camilla, which opened on Panama's idyllic Pacific coast in December 2005. "I want to live a refined lifestyle that doesn't compromise my childrens' future," so says the architect, who has created a luxurious, exclusive retreat in harmony with the spectacular natural surroundings of lush green hills and sparkling Pacific. With a team of European craftsmen, Gilles built on-site workshops to train local artisans who have designed virtually every component of the guesthouse and private homes on-site: teak doors and shutters, bamboo ceilings, terra cotta brick floors, Chiriqui stone walls, and parquet floors patterned from purpleheart wood mixed with French oak wine caskets-- the ultimate mix of the Old World and New. This attention to detail has also been focused on the natural environment, as Gilles' team has restored the Tropical Dry Forest eco-system that originally existed in the province, providing wildlife habitat for the future. Villa Camilla (and its aesthetically magnificent guest rooms) is just one aspect of this elegant oceanside community; it is possible to purchase one of 71 lots and Saint-Gilles will custom-design the home to build on it.

Cars to star in many Super Bowl ads
Forget the cola wars. Super Bowl XLVI is all about the car wars.
This year's game on Sunday will have more than 14 car-related ads, which will take up nearly two dozen of the 70 30-second ad slots that carried an average sticker price of $3.5 million.
With consumers again spending on autos and sales rising, these Big Game advertisers are rolling out big-budget commercials to rival the splashiest of soft drink marketing.
VIDEO: See pre-game teasers and some of the game ads now
PHOTOS: Most memorable Super Bowl car ads
STORY: Kia readies male fantasy Super Bowl ad with supermodel
In the last few days alone, Super Sunday car advertisers have revealed high-octane commercials that feature celebrities such as Matthew Broderick and Jerry Seinfeld, as well as showing their autos doing extreme stunts — including a Chevy Sonic skydiving and bungee jumping.
After cutting back during the recession years, automakers are back in the game in a big way.
"The economy and the car business are in recovery," says Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst at car research site Edmunds.com. Carmakers have more money to spend on ads, and added incentive after Chrysler, Volkswagen and Chevy wowed viewers with well-received ads last year.
They've also learned new tricks, Krebs says. Auto advertisers have been schooled on the value of social media, especially when it comes to sending out teaser videos, as well as full versions of their game-day ads, she says.
Last year, Volkswagen proved this formula successful when it released its ad two weeks before the game. It received millions of views before Super Sunday, and built up huge pre-game buzz.
This year, USA TODAY and Facebook are partnering on the Super Bowl Ad Meter. You'll be able to view, rate and share Super Bowl ads during the game and after on an app at USATODAY.com and Facebook. The winner will be declared February 8.
"The Super Bowl has become a social-media blitz as much as a broadcast one," says Brian Thomas, general manager of brand marketing at VW. "To become part of all the conversation around ads in the game, you have to be willing to show your creative (work) before the broadcast, and you have to be ready to provide additional content to stoke that flame."
So far, VW, Hyundai, Lexus, General Motors and Audi have released full versions of ads online. Honda and Acura have released teasers.
Yet, Krebs is concerned that with this pre-game commercial clutter, there's a chance that "nobody is going to break through the noise," she says.
Here's what marketers are doing to try to make their ads stand out:
•Going for "second screen" attention. Car makers are also trying new tricks to get consumer attention during the game. With more than 100 million viewers expected to tune in — and many using "multiple screens" such as smartphones and tablets during the game — they've launched a wide range of multimedia efforts. Viewers of Cars.com's ad, for example, can use the popular Shazam app to "tag" the ad when it airs, and the car-shopping site will donate $1 to one of seven charities, up to $100,000.
•Going Hollywood. Several car marketers — and other advertisers — are turning to celebrities to create buzz for their brands. Honda has signed Broderick for a middle-age twist on his coming-of-age character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Acura pairs car buffs Seinfeld and Jay Leno. And Kia's got a gaggle, including supermodel Adriana Lima and band Mötley Crüe. "There are fan clubs and strong social-media platforms we could leverage" from celebrities, says Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing and communication at Kia. "It's a way to get people to talk about the spot and talk about the brand."
•Going for Boomers. It's no accident that Honda turned to Broderick and that Acura turned to Leno and Seinfeld. All appeal to Boomers, who have the wherewithal to buy more cars than just about anyone. But awareness can't be limited to just Boomers, says Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing at American Honda. Awareness of Ferris Bueller is "very, very high among all age groups," Accavitti says. "Almost 70% of people know about Ferris."

Anya Petrova shoved her mittened hands in the pockets of her parka as she stood on Brock Parker's threshold and tried not to react. The man had answered the door dressed in a furry bear costume. It wasn't every day that she knocked on a stranger's door and found a grizzly bear, albeit a fake one, on the other side. Even in Alaska.
She pasted on a smile. "Hi, I'm Anya Petrova. I emailed you about my dog. You're Brock, right?"
He nodded, but made no move to take off the bear head.
Super. Anya had to stop herself from exhaling a frustrated sigh.
She'd expected someone normal, especially considering Brock Parker's reputation. He was new in town, an avalanche search and rescue expert and alleged dog genius, at least according to what Anya's friend Clementine had told her. Anya had been trying in vain to reach him for the past two days, but he appeared to be a mystery. He didn't even have a locally listed phone number, and he'd yet to make an appearance in town. And she'd been lookinghardbecause a dog genius is exactly what she needed at the moment.
Fortunately, Clementine had managed to procure Brock's email address. Anya had fired off a message and was thrilled when he agreed to meet with her. Clementine had predicted he would turn out to be the answer to Anya's prayers. What she'd failed to predict was that Brock Parker would be dressed head to toe in a grizzly bear costume when he answered his front door.
The odds are good, but the goods are odd.
Some considered it Alaska's best kept secret.
The rest of the free world seemed all too aware of the fact that men outnumbered women in the Land of the Midnight Sun. So much so that sometimes the statistics Anya Petrova saw on the subject made her shake her head in disbelief, if not snort with laughter. Fifteen to one? Did people in the Lower 48 really believe that?
Anya had lived in Aurora, Alaska, since the day she was born. She even had a dash of Inuit blood in her veins, and she knew as well as every other Alaskan woman that such statistics were exaggerated at best. At worst, they were baloney. In any event, the exact ratio didn't make a bit of difference. Because the men of Alaska weren't like other men. The majority of them, anyway. Like anything else, there were exceptions.
A few.
A very few.
The odds are good, but the goods are odd. Or, to put it nicely, Alaskan men could be eccentric. And it wasn't just the locals. Sometimes the transplants could be even worse. There seemed to be something about Alaska that attracted independent spirits, adventurers and oddballs. Case in pointthe man standing in front of her in a bear costume.
Not that she cared a whit about Aurora's bachelor population, strange or otherwise. She'd learned a long time ago that men were trouble. In her infancy, actually. Being abandoned by her father at three months of age didn't exactly set her up for success in the man department. Neither did being unceremoniously dumped on top of the highest mountain in Aurora for the entire town to witness. More than the town's population, actually, because television cameras had been involved.
As a result, dating wasn't anywhere on the list of things that mattered most to Anya. Her life was simple. She cared about three thingsGod, coffee and her dog.
She had a good handle on the coffee situation. As the manager of the Northern Lights Inn coffee bar, she was given free rein to develop all sorts of lattes, mochas and espresso drinks. Whatever struck her fancy, really. She enjoyed it. And she was good at it. Sometimesparticularly on days when all she did was serve up cup after cup of plain black coffeeshe wondered if there was something else she should be doing with her life. Something more meaningful. But that was normal, wasn't it? Did people really ever feel completely fulfilled by their jobs?
The God thing was new, so she really couldn't say how that was going. But it mattered to her. More than she ever knew it could, so it went on the list.
But the dog was another issue entirely. And that's where Brock Parker came into the picture, or so Anya hoped. Clementine had been so sure he could help her. She'd used the word genius to describe his proficiency at training.
He sure didn't look like a genius standing there in his doorway in that bear costume. Then again, what did Anya know about geniuses? Hadn't she read somewhere that Albert Einstein couldn't tie his own shoes? Maybe Einstein had a bear suit too.
She glanced down at Brock's feet poking out from the dark-brown fur. He wore hiking boots, and they were indeed tied.
Was that a good thing? Who knew?
She inhaled a deep breath of frigid winter air and tried again. "I have a very anxious dog, and I was told you might be able to help me. I'm kind of desperate."
She'd planned to tell him more, but suddenly her eyes burned with the telltale sting of tears. To say she was desperate was an understatement. Things seemed bad enough when she'd first rescued Dolce. The poor thing hid under the bed all the time. Anya barely saw her. Little did she know Dolce's shyness was the least of her problems.
The tiny dog also howled at the top of her canine lungs. At first, Anya had been able to convince the people at the Northern Lights Innwho were not only her employer, but also her landlordto give the dog some time. Surely Dolce would settle down.
She hadn't. Not yet anyway. And the hotel management had run out of patience. They'd finally given her an ultimatumgive up either the dog or her rent-free cottage.
The choice was hers. She had a mere fourteen days to fix the problem or lose her dog or her home. She'd pinned her last hope on Brock's purported genius, and from the looks of things, that might have been a mistake.
She sniffed and willed herself not to shed a tear. Desperate or not, crying in front of a man dressed as a bear was simply out of the question.
She heard a sigh. Brock's furry chest rose and fell. Thenfinallyhe removed the bear head, exposing his face.
Anya wasn't altogether sure what she'd expected, but the cool blue eyes, straight perfect nose and high cheekbones that looked as though they'd been chiseled from granite were most definitely not it. The man resembled some kind of dreamy Nordic statue. Anya had to blink to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"You say your dog is anxious? How anxious?" He spoke without cracking the slightest smile, which only made him look more like something Michelangelo had carved out of stone.
Anya swallowed. Her mouth had abruptly gone dry. The snowflakes floating against her cheeks felt colder all of a sudden, and she realized her face had grown quite warm. "Very. I rescued her from a bad situation, and unless she's attached to a leash, I can't get her to come out from under my bed. She even eats there and only in the dark."
It was pathetic. Every night when Anya drifted off to sleep, it was to the sound of poor Dolce crunching on kibble.
"But that's not the worst of it. She howls. Rather loudly." Anya's voice grew wobbly. "I'm about to be kicked out of my cottage."
"I see." Brock nodded, and a lock of his disheveled blond hair fell across his forehead.
She'd heard of bedhead, but never bearhead. It, too, appeared to have its charms.
A shiver ran up Anya's spinea shiver she attributed to the fact that she was still standing on his front porch and the temperature had dipped well below freezing.
Yeah, right.
"Come with me." Still clutching the bear head under his arm, he led her inside.
Anya had been in the house once, long before she'd ever heard of Brock. She'd babysat nine-year-old twins who had lived here when she was in high school. Other than Brock's array of unopened moving boxes, the living room looked pretty much the samewood floors, dark paneled walls and huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rugged, snow-capped Chugach Mountain range. The view was breathtaking, even to Anya, who'd seen the splendors of Alaska virtually every day of her life.
Brock strode past the window with barely a glance, leading her through the dining room and kitchen and out the back door. The snow crunched beneath their feet as they headed toward a barnlike structure about a dozen yards from the house. The barn was newat least it hadn't been part of the landscape when the Davis twins were nine. If there was a walkway, it wasn't visible beneath the previous night's snowfall. Flurries were still coming down, swirling and drifting through the branches of the evergreen trees. By the time they reached the barn, the shoulders of Brock's bear costume were dusted with a fine layer of white.
"This is my training area." He pushed the door open with a grizzly paw and ushered her inside.
The smell of sawdust and puppies drifted to Anya's nostrils. A strange combination, but not at all unpleasant. In fact, she found it oddly comforting. "Wow. Nice."
Calling it a barn wasn't really fair. The word barn conjured up images of dirty, hay-strewn floors and farming equipment covered in layers of dust. This building had been swept and cleaned to the point of perfection. A series of short, wooden dividers separated the center of the room into four pens. What Anya assumed was leftover lumber had been stacked neatly against the wall. Brock may have been new in town, but clearly he'd been busy.
Above the excess planks of wood were a series of hooks. What looked like a ski patrol jacket hung from one of them. Anya's gaze lingered on the bright-red parka and moved over the intersecting lines of the bold white cross printed on it until Brock spoke again, stealing her attention.
"Sit there." He pointed to one of the square, wood-framed pens.
Anya glanced at him, wishing he would offer more of an explanation. She didn't see a chair anywhere. What was she supposed to do? Sit on the floor? But as she approached the box, a cute, furry head peeked over one of the short walls. Then another equally adorable face popped up beside it.
"Puppies!" Anya clapped her hands.
She swung her leg over the short wall and climbed inside with the dogs, sitting cross-legged in the center of the pen. One of the puppies immediately crawled into her lap, but the other one eyed her from a foot or two away.
They didn't look like any puppies Anya had ever seen, certainly not the customary sled dogs that populated Alaska. These were a lovely red color, with white markings on their feet and chests.
"What kind of dogs are these?" she asked. "They almost look like little foxes."
"Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers," Brock said, as if that mouthful of an answer made a lick of sense to Anya. He reached for a newspaper that was folded and placed neatly on one of the wooden dividers and handed it to her. "I'd like you to read this."
She glanced at the paper, this morning's edition of the Yukon Reporter. She scanned the front page for anything dog-related but came up empty. "Um, what exactly am I supposed to be reading?"
He shrugged what appeared to be a rather muscular shoulder, visible even through the bear suit. "It doesn't matter. Just read it."
"Okaaay." She gave him a wary glance, but the look on his face told her nothing. He still wore that same stony expression. Stony, but undeniably handsome.
She unfolded the paper. The headline had something to do with the ski resort. Anya skipped over that particular article. Intentionally. Although the ski mountain loomed over Aurora, Anya had managed to pretty much ignore it since the day she'd had her heart broken atop it. She instead found a story about a moose that had been spotted roaming the streets of downtown after dark.
The moose, a young adult bull according to eyewitnesses, is thought to be the cause of recent
Brock's deep voice interrupted her train of thought. "Out loud."
"Out loud?" Anya raised her brows and looked back down at the newspaper, then at the two puppies with their sweet little fox-like faces, and back at Brock. "You want me to read the newspaper to the dogs?"
"Yep." He nodded, crossed his big bear arms and waited.
Odd, she decided. Most definitely.
But she couldn't deny he was odd in a rather intriguing way.
She resumed reading, aloud this time, acutely aware of those glacial blue eyes watching her. Her cheeks grew warm, and she had to concentrate so her tongue wouldn't trip on the words. Those flawless good looks of his were unnerving. Not that she was attracted to him, because she wasn't. Of course she wasn't. He made her nervous, that's all.
Still, she almost wished he'd cover up his perfect bone structure with that silly bear head.
Brock watched Anya read to the pups until she'd finished the article about the rogue moose that was vandalizing downtown Aurora. Not that there was much of a downtown, he mused. Certainly not compared to Seattle, where he'd lived for the past year and a half. There wasn't a Starbucks or a Seattle's Best anywhere in sight.
" authorities are asking anyone who sees the moose to contact Wildlife Care and Control." Anya paused and blinked up at him with the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen.
Brock ignored the zing they sent straight to his chest and nodded. She started on another article, something about a rehabilitated sea otter being released into nearby Kache-mak Bay.
Brock shook his head and marveled at the fact that he'd somehow landed in a place where moose and sea otters made the front page of the local paper. To top it off, he was sweltering in the grizzly suit. It was the dead of winter in Alaska, but the barn was heated and he was used to the cold. Brock had spent the better part of his adult life in the snowif not actively searching for avalanche victims, then training for the inevitable event of a slide.
He left Anya to her reading and went to change. The two pups had settled around her comfortably, even Sherlock, the more cautious of the pair. Brock was pleased. The aim of the whole newspaper exercise was to socialize the young dogs to new people, new voices. The bear suit was a similar tool for socialization training. The dogs would be living in Alaska. They needed to be prepared for the sight of bears when they were out on the mountain training for search and rescue.
Sherlock had warmed to Anya faster than he'd anticipated. It wasn't often that Brock had a woman around to assist with training. Then again, Anya's voice had a pleasant, lyrical quality about it. Who wouldn't warm to the sound of that?
