Hot Enough for Ya?

Hot Enough for Ya?

Everyone talks about the hellish hot weather but only liberals know what ‘s causing it: climate change, aka global warming, of course!




The 3,215 record daily high temps set in the month of June and 4,500 new heat records during the last 30 days must incontrovertibly prove Planet Earth is roasting almost to the boiling point.



And, maybe not.



The fact is, those record highs were all set in the U.S. while the rest of the northern hemisphere is just experiencing summertime. It would seem Mother Nature has it in for America since she is wreaking heat havoc only on us.



In almost unprecedented numbers, Mom Nature has caused wildfires, droughts, tornados, and floods, everything but hordes of locusts in the United States–and she has yet to unleash the brunt of her hurricane season!



As Jonathan Overpeck gloated, “This is what global warming looks like at the regional or personal level.”



That professor of geosciences and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona breathlessly elaborated, ”The extra heat increases the odds of worse heat waves, droughts, storms and wildfire. This is certainly what I and many other climate scientists have been warning about” and the head honcho of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, Kevin Trenberth, dutifully chimed in by claiming he had predicted the same disasters. (http://tinyurl.com/7by6z7c)



So there, you climate-change-naysaying nitwits!



The chief problem with Overpeck’s, Trenberth’s and all the other “expert” observations that Earthlings are doomed to being toasted, fried, and fricaseed is that they are as wrong in their doomsaying assessments as their fellow phonies who believed a mere few decades ago that we would soon be encased in blocks of ice when global cooling and a new Ice Age enveloped the planet.



Science magazine, Science Digest and a host of other seemingly-reputable publications and scientists were then warning of ”extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation,” shorter growing seasons, cooling oceans and similar catastrophic events.



It never happened, anymore than polar bears starving and stop making baby polar bears, anymore than melting glaciers will end the Alaskan tourist trade, anymore than rising seas will flood our front yards, etc. will come to pass in the near future.



Those apocalyptic visions could be realized down the road as the Earth and our sun do what they’ve been doing for eons but they won’t be the fault of mankind’s activities–unless we assume cave people built filthy, carbon dioxide-spewing, coal-fired power plants we don’t know about and accept the hypothesis that dinosaur farts polluted the atmosphere.



Times, and weather, have changed radically as they always do and ultra-resilient climatologists have shown they can switch sides faster than Chief Justice John Roberts.



Fast forward to the eighties and beyond. Now, due to historically-normal, cyclical climate changes, the fear-mongerers have amazingly converted their baseless freezing scam into a preposterous warming hoax.



Gone are the days when Hollywood cashed in on the orchestrated freezing panic and politicians were elected based on pledges to save their constituents from wearing overcoats in August.



Those days have been supplanted by Tinseltown producing ridiculous movies such as “The Day After Tomorrow” which senselessly theorized that global warming will result in global freezing and Democrat pols warning that North American women had better vote for Obama or be prepared to wear bikinis in January. . .

Global Climate Fraud

Global Climate Fraud

When 31,487 American environmental and climate scientists, 9,029 of whom hold PhDs, agree that ”limits on greenhouse gasses would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology and damage the health and welfare of mankind,” can they all be wrong?

If they are, that would mean the cockamamie claims of Al Gore, the IPCC, and the whole horde of “greenies” who have been claiming for years that CO2 emissions are hazardous to the planet are a crock.

When those scientists subscribe to the view that, “there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth,” it would mean that Gore and Company should be branded as criminals for knowingly advocating a plot which would deprive mankind of those benefits.

(See the petition which includes the identities and qualifications of the signers at http://www.petitionproject.org/.)

In point of fact, the global warmists/coolists/changeists–they and their ilk have pushed all of those senseless panics over the past three decades but will be referred to here as simply the warmists and their cause as global warming–are responsible for perpetrating a scam so massive that Bernie Madoff would blush for not thinking of it first.

The immediate occasion for citing The Petition Project, which began with some 17,000 signatories in the late nineties and which has, of course, been dismissed by the warmist lobby as fraudulent despite the identification of every signatory, is the recent brouhaha over what scientist said what and what did he mean about global warming.

UC Berkeley Professor Richard Muller, member of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project (BEST) team, alleged last week that he and his team had concluded Mother Earth was indeed warming and temperatures had increased by almost one degree centigrade over the course of 60 years.

As the warmists exulted over that announcement, made just in the nick of time for the gathering of the U.N.’s climate summit in Durban, S.A., a BEST colleague of Prof. Muller’s took issue with his opinion. A day later, Britain’s DailyMail.com also rained on Muller’s warmist parade by pointing out that his fellow climatologist had basically called Muller’s claim bunk.

Professor Judith Curry, chairperson of the highly-prestigious University of Georgia’s Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, said Muller had made “a huge mistake,” prof-speak for, Muller, you’re a ninny and/or a shill for the warmists. Curry also corrected Muller’s conclusions by adding factual analysis that there has been no global warming for at least ten years . . .

Another Climate Lie Bites the Dust

Another Climate Lie Bites the Dust

The opening sentence in a BBC News article titled, “Journal Editor Resigns over ‘Problematic’ Climate Paper” reads, ”The editor of a science journal has resigned after admitting that a recent paper casting doubt on man-made climate change should not have been published.” (http://bbc.in/oQKKiW)

The title is absolutely correct, the opening sentence is absolutely deceptive.

American climatological scientists Roy Spencer and William Braswell reported in the journal Remote Sensing that climate computer models exaggerated global warming projections of temperature increase.

In other words, just as with the 2009-2010 International Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, scandals when massive fudging was discovered at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, the warmist clan rigged their computers to make it seem the planet was cooking. And, just as with the IPCC scandals, certain climatologists are closing ranks to preserve their reputations–and wallets.

See ”Climategate,” http://bit.ly/qeQFUp.

Not surprisingly, the report was applauded and endorsed by so-called “global warming deniers” who had found kindred spirits in Spencer and Braswell’s reinforcement of the truth.

Equally unsurprising, so-called “mainstream” scientists whose bread is buttered with the climate change sham attacked the report as if they had, once again, been exposed as liars–which they had been. They couldn’t very well tolerate having their sham, once again, disproven by their fellow scientists and the very science they claim as their own, now could they?

Remote Sensing editor Wolfgang Wagner submitted his resignation letter as a consequence of the whole brouhaha . . .

Arrogance on the East River

Arrogance on the East River

“Ya gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,/ Know when to walk away, know when to run.” Johnny Cash’s words to the wise gambler are lost on the U.N. and the Why would they give a damn how much they lost?

Instead, when their backs should be against the wall, when they’re on the ropes, when their goose is cooked–pick your own cliche’–they double down.

Climategate rocked their world back in November when hackers hacked the truth out of the Climate Research Unit, CRU, computers at East Anglia University and exposed the lie of the U.N.-hatched climate change scam, the conspiracy, the cover-ups, the deceptions. (See “Climate . . .” http://bit.ly/ckQlcP et al.)

The bamboozling climatologists still had an ace in the hole and a wild card up their sleeve. The ace was the Nobel Peace Prize the IPCC had won with Al Gore for their alleged contributions to climate research, the wild card was the upcoming International Climate Summit in Copenhagen.

Who could argue with the veracity of a Nobel winner? And just wait until the nations of the world line up to support climate change initiatives!

Well, that ace is looking. . .

THE NOBEL POLITICAL PRIZE

THE NOBEL POLITICAL PRIZE

Does the Nobel Peace Prize Selection Committee ever rescind one of its priceless awards and demand return of its money? If not, it should.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), divvied up the Nobel Peace Prize (Nobelpriset, in Swedish) cash with Al Gore in 2007, splitting the approximate $1.6 million award. Both should cough up their shares since neither has advanced the cause of world peace even an iota.

Gore should have rejected it on the spot, given the fraudulent nature of An Inconvenient Truth, the “documentary” which won him an Academy Award in Hollywood and which must have convinced the Swedes that he knew what he was babbling about. He didn’t, as shown by, among many other sources, this Canadian analysis which described the award as a “travesty:” http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/261.

Now the IPCC has been outed for what it truly is, a group of intergovernmental blowhards pretending to be climatologists committed to saving the planet from itself–and from Americans dirtying up the atmosphere. In actuality, the IPCC now concedes its dire predictions as to the effects and even the existence of global warming aren’t even predictions. Rather, they are “projections:” http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/7116.

The IPCC began its word play in 2001 when it altered its nomenclature: “Projections are distinguished from predictions in order to emphasise that projections involve assumptions concerning e.g. future socio-economic and technological developments that may or may not be realised and are therefore subject to substantial uncertainty.”

Huh? Simplified, that means the IPCC admitted it guesses the future and may very well be totally wrong. Expressed another way, it assumes the climate’s future is predicated on what could happen, and we all know what happens when we assume.

I’m guessing those climatologists looked out a window, sniffed the air, and decided to hedge their language though not their cataclysmic “projections,” which are dependent on which direction the political winds are blowing. In the case of the IPCC, its prevailing winds are always blowing from the Left of the political spectrum.

It’s sad really what has happened to the Nobel Peace Prize. It is now conferred...

GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD

GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD

DrudgeReport.com often pairs conflicting stories with the same admirable goal as Fox News’ motto of, “We report, you decide,” and unlike the liberal press approach of, “This is the truth, now shut up and do what you’re told!” This particular pairing is positively scary.

On the one hand, we have the AP story about global warming, “Thousands Negotiate New Climate Treaty,” http://www.livescience.com/environment/081210-ap-climate-treaty.html, a report on efforts of global warmists to replace the Kyoto Protocol with a new plan that will put bigger and sharper teeth in enforcement.

It begins with a typical, leftist fait accompli: ”POZNAN, Poland (AP) — Scientists studying the changing nature of the Earth’s climate say they have completed one crucial task — proving beyond a doubt that global warming is real. Now they have to figure out just what to do about it.”

And do they have solutions to save the planet! Those “futuristic” solutions include, “imitating the cooling effects of a massive volcanic eruption by spreading sulfur in the atmosphere, or scattering billions [of] tiny refractors high in the air to dim the sun and lower the temperature.” The warmists do admit that, “such radical solutions involve risks.”Ya think?

Let’s see now. The scientific gods would like to imitate the effects of Krakatoa, which claimed 36,000 lives, or Mount St. Helens, which caused untold devastation, by poisoning the atmosphere or to play Mother Nature by cooling the Earth with “tiny refractors” to deflect the rays from Father Sun....
