Global Cooling to Compensate for Global Warming

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Once more, clear and concise proof comes down the line, showing that our computer climate models are as bogus as the incomplete data they are fed.

The IPCC has been making shrill predictions for the changes to come, calling for drastic action on our part in order to help combat a century and a half of major CO2 emissions, all based on computer models showing that the world average temperature was on a one-way path of rising.

Only, the last decade there hasn’t been a rise, in spite of an increase in CO2 emissions.  This last winter was such a cooling event, that it pretty much negated the last 100 years of warming.  It’s hard to even come to a conclusion as to when the highest temperature was in the 20th century.

Now a new study is coming out saying that global warming is going to pause for another seven years, then get around to rising again.

This would mean that the 0.3°C global average temperature rise which has been predicted for the next decade by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may not happen, according to the paper published in the scientific journal Nature.

However, the effect of rising fossil fuel emissions will mean that warming will accelerate again after 2015 when natural trends in the oceans veer back towards warming, according to the computer model.

Let’s boil down what is being said here.  The previous model was wrong.  Real data is showing that the previous predictions for the last decade were wrong.  Now a new model says there will be a pause, then temperature will start climbing again.

So why are we supposed to believe that the new model is any more acurate than the others?

It’s also odd that “natural climate variations” can cause cooling, but can never be responsible for warming trends.

This all plays like every other doomsday prediction, from Nostradamus to the Bible – complete fiction.

Data from the Aqua satellite project show that the tropospheric “heat island” that is required for the feedback mechanism of anthropogenic global warming to occur, simply doesn’t exist.  Without this mechanism, CO2 can only push warming so far, then it fails to have further affect.

Hopefully, real science, like the Aqua Project – which are examining actual data and not just playing with computer driven assumptions – will give us a better understand of what is going on and calm the retarded Green political seas of global warming.

Weekly Roundup

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

A lot of interesting news this week, so far at least.

First, we have for chief prosecutor former Guantánamo’s military commissions, Col. Morris Davis, going off to the press to warn how the Gitmo trials are rigged.

British Columbia is starting a Carbon Tax on fossil fuels as part of their budget plan. Proving once more my long held point that the Global Warming Church is merely a protection racket.

Another worthless bully with a badge Taser’s a high school student after a “small altercation” during a basketball game at the school gym.

Yet another abusive cop whines that he was treated unfairly when he is fired after he turns off a video camera after an arrest, only to show a woman beaten to within an inch of her life after the camera comes back on. The old, “she fell!” mantra is called, of course.

Though Al Gore has predicted that sea water levels are going to flood half the population of Earth off the face of the planet, Venice sea levels are at a fourteen year low.

Oil has topped $100 a barrel, but we haven’t seen anything yet, with the US economy on the verge of a complete meltdown.

But at least the CIA can stop trying to poison wetsuits and other failed assassination attempts, for Fidel Castro has resigned as Cuba’s President.

Satan’s Garden Is Moving Has Moved

I’ve decided to move this site to its own domain. (Users may have noticed problems for a couple of hours today, related to my being an idiot and trying to move too quickly…)

In the near future, this The old URL will auto-redirect to http://www.satansgarden.org and I will keep the redirect in place on the old server to make sure that people are forwarded properly when examining old listings in Google, etc.

Hands up, America

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

For those who think I’m making up this crap as I go, here’s another fun story about entering the country from Canada…

Welcome to America. Now Get Your Hands Up

Fly the Paranoid Skys

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Air travel is going to take a turn for the even worse when it comes to foreign flights leaving the USA.

According to this article in the Guardian, passengers traveling from the US will have to be fingerprinted to be allowed on any flight.

It’s enough to make you vomit. Read the article here.

Personally, unless there simply is no other way, I stopped flying after 9-11; not because of any fear of terrorism, but because I don’t like being treated like dirt.

It’s not just air travel, however. I went on a motorcycle tour through western Canada in 2004, trying, but failing to get to Alaska. (Wildfires kept closing the ALCAN.) Since the terrorist hype was going full bore less than three years after the World Trade Center attack, I thought it best to get a passport before crossing the border. This was before the current requirement to have a passport to return from Canada existed, but I was smart in predicting a paranoid and over-reactive government.

Crossing over to Canada was a breeze. As I drove in, there were three small buildings with drive up windows, each occupied by a Canadian official. Being the dimwit I am, I didn’t notice if they were Mounties, or some other group. There were no barricades, no armed guards, no sense of distress in the body language of anyone there. I pulled up to the window, where a cute blond gal was sitting, perhaps a little bored. I killed the bike engine.

I stated who I was, told her I was there on vacation, making my way to Alaska and showed her my drivers license and passport. The gal there didn’t even bother to stamp the passport, took a brief glance at the drivers license and then warned me that I might have trouble getting through all of the uncontrolled wildfires in British Columbia and the Yukon Territories. I thanked her for the information and motored on.

That was it.

Coming back into the US, was a far different story.

I pulled up toward the border, where several armed men shuffled about, all with the body language of paranoid watch dogs. After filing through a carefully controlled gate system, I was finally stopped under a security camera and told to kill my engine. (Note, I was not asked this on the way into Canada, I had killed the engine on my own – and would have done the same here in just a few moments.) One of the armed guards came up to me and asked where I was going. I replied that I was heading home and handed him my drivers license and passport. I can’t claim that this is an exact dialog, but it’s accurate enough…

“Where are you from?”

“Originally, or now?”

“Now.”

“Just like the drivers license says, Utah.”

“Lived there long?”

“A few years.”

“How many years?”

“Since April, ’99.”

“Where did you live before that?”

“Indiana.”

“Why did you move to Utah?”

“Why do you care?” This was a mistake and I knew it as soon as I was done speaking.

“Why did you move to Utah, sir.” His tone was now a little tense.

“I work at the University of Utah. It was a good job offer that I couldn’t pass up.”

“So, you’re from Indiana originally?”

“No. I lived there for about 11 years. I moved there from Minnesota, where I grew up.”

“You don’t sound like you have an Indiana accent.”

“I told you, I grew up in Minnesota.”

“You don’t sound Minnesotan.” (As if this guy would know what a Minnesotan native sounds like.)

“Minnesotan’s don’t have accents, unless they live in the northern part of the state. No accent at all. That’s why we all become news announcers.” I smiled. The joke fell flat.

“Why were you in Canada?”

“I’m on vacation.”

“Where are you heading now?”

“As I’ve already stated, back home. Are we through, officer?”

“Are you carrying any food, alcohol, cigarettes or other tobacco products?”

“No.”

“Anything to declare?”

“No.”

He walked back into his armored hut, talked for a bit with another guy behind bullet proof glass, going over my drivers license and passport like I was Saddam with a shave – being sure to look up and give me the accusative glance ever few moments of talk. Finally, after deliberately wasting time for about five minutes, he came back with my ID and told me that I was “allowed” back in.

I motored back into my native country and actually wondered why I was coming back.

Our country is being converted right under our noses, into a police state. Under the guise of anti-terrorism, our liberties are being stripped, our rights are being denied and we are being assumed guilty until proven innocent.

It’s only going to get worse.

Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Jerry Falwell was found dead today and the world already seems a better place. Christianity has enough problems in general without nut cases like Falwell spurring on the fringe regions of the faith.

While the papers are reporting on his demise and his contributions to the right wing political engine, I’m going to instead send him of with series of quotes by him, to show just why it is that the world should make this a holiday of celebration.

  • AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
  • The idea that religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country
  • If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being
  • Textbooks are Soviet propaganda.
  • I sincerely believe that the collective efforts of many secularists during the past generation, resulting in the expulsion from our schools and from the public square, has left us vulnerable
  • (re: 9/11 attacks) “…throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad…I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America…I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen.”
  • I am such a strong admirer and supporter of George W. Bush that if he suggested eliminating the income tax or doubling it, I would vote yes on first blush.
  • I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
  • There is no separation of church and state. Modern US Supreme Courts have raped the Constitution and raped the Christian faith and raped the churches by misinterpreting what the Founders had in mind in the First Amendment to the Constitution.
  • The Bible is the inerrant … word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible,without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc.
  • The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That’s like offering a cookbook as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight.

But the best and most honest statement Falwell ever made was:

  • Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions
