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.

Al Gore Finds God in Global Warming

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Well, this is simply too funny for words. Al Gore has apparently changed some of his slide show to include Adam and Eve.

In the very same breath, he then continued to explain that according to his religious beliefs, this “rise of humans” was God’s creation of mankind — apparently 200,000 years ago.

I couldn’t take the man or his climate claims seriously before, but now it’s gone to utter fairy tales.

Icy Winter Breaks Record for Fastest Temperature Change

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Well, it would appear that this winter has set some amazing records. This quote says it all:

The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time. For all four sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Time will tell if this trend continues, but I personally think with sunspot activity at a low, we stand a good chance of entering another “little ice-age”. If nothing else, it shows just how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of climate.

Global Terrorist Warming, or Something Like That

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I believe it was just yesterday, the date of this article I might add, that I claimed that the left is using global warming like the right is using the fear of terrorism.

In spite of what you may think, no, I didn’t read this article until just now. I hate to say it, but I told you so.

Carbon Taxes Set to Become Real Taxes

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

I have long warned that carbon “taxes” (which at first were but carbon credit programs against industry to allow the Church of Global Warming to swindle their way into the pie) were designed to stifle free trade and industry, in order to impose control and steal money.

Well, the first of the real taxes is being unveiled in Washington state.

A cadre of six Democrats in the state senate are trying to push through Senate Bill 6923, which is designed to give the state of Washington more money for alternative transportation, by adding a greenhouse gas tax to automotive registrations. It’s a scaling system, based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimates of the mileage your vehicle gets. 15 MPG or lower, $200-$240 extra every year. 15-25 MPG, $100-$180 extra every year. Over 26 MPG, $40-$100 extra, every year.

This is just the first in what I predict will become a national trend. Tax-and-spend liberals cannot pass up a good mythological disaster in order to increase the government coffers further. There is no environmental motive to this. The only motive is further control and monetary gain through fear peddling.

The Republicans have their War on Terrorism as the fear mongering tool of choice. The Democrats have Global Warming. Neither camp is trying to fix anything. Both are in the game for personal benefit only, by preaching global doom and gloom.

Just remember this: all laws are enforced at the muzzle of a gun. When politicians start imposing laws based on dubious science, they are doing so by imposing force against the People. With the latest lunacy the Neocons have unleashed on us with the TSA, Homeland Security and related nonsense, in an ever increasing paramilitary police state, do you want this force used against you over a still actively debated conundrum over CO2?

These trends start with licensing fees and end up in criminal code. The entire War on Drugs is currently fought over criminal code governing the sales of substances without a proper tax stamp. (Yes, you read that right.) What starts as a licensing fee, must be backed up with force if someone refuses to pay the fee. A single fee, never remains alone – more are added, more laws and more taxes – each must be backed up by force. Everything snowballs from the first act of resistance

When poorly formed scientific arguments are used to urge political action, it’s bad enough. When they are used to imprison people, or even kill them – which is the eventual course of all law as the regulators continue to try to “fix” things – we have reached rock bottom.

Global Warming, We Need You

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Bear in mind that the Church of Global Warming is currently in the process of renaming themselves to the Church of Global Climate Change, so that anything can be blamed on that miserable poison CO2. In any case, Russia could have used a little of the old church and China is battling the “coldest winter in 100 years.”

Lake Paliastomi froze over for the first time in 50 years and temperatures were set to drop as low as 67 F (55 C). As the article states, Georgia is a subtropical climate…

Of course the CGW or CGCC is going to say that one off incidents like these aren’t a data point against the global warming hype. Nevermind that the earth has always been going through an awful lot of climate change over the eons. Never mind that Earth was warming on average in the 19th and 20th centuries, before we started to pump CO2 into the atmosphere.

But anthropogenic global warming is a fact, because the CGW has a consensus, or so they say.

Pray tell, just what is consensus? It is popular opinion, not scientific fact. Science has held many such a consensus which was proven wrong in the end. What we need is hard data.

Proof to me that CO2 and climate have little to do with each other, comes from work from paleoclimatologists, who show us inconvenient facts, such as Carleton University Professor Tim Patterson’s testimony before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development in Canada. (See article.)

“There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth’s temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years.”

Or how about Catherine Brahic’s work in New Scientist (2007-05-17) where she showed in ice core samples the CO2 increase lags behind the temperature by roughly 800 years. Ergo, CO2 cannot possibly cause the temperature change. The same pattern, by studying ice core samples dating back 650,000 years, was confirmed by Holly Fretwell at the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC).

The fact of the mater is, that the IPCC is a political organization with a political agenda and though they claim to have a majority of climatologists behind their stance, more and more scientists who have never seen an oil company’s penny are coming out against their position, including some former members of the IPCC.

As for the IPCC itself, the truth came out recently about their position papers, especially the Fourth Assessment Report in 2007.

Even this “consensus” is looking weaker everyday.

Addendum 2008-02-11: Yet another article on a group of Canadian scientists who are convinced that the sun is the driving force in climate and are now seeking additional funding for better sun monitoring systems.
