Global Warming

Thursday, May 01, 2008

And the spinning begins..

The MMGW alarmist cult has run into some really nasty problems recently. Most of it is related to the real data and unmanipulated facts showing that the world is cooling off, and that their predictions of global catastrophe within the next decade is as likely as my chances to win the lottery when I buy no tickets. Of course that will not dissuade them from continuing to predict that the sky is falling and that only they have the answer - global socialist government to address social injustices - to this woe. But too many people are seeing that the emperor is wearing no clothes, and abandoning the cause because it is even too hard for all but the most fanatical to keep believing the lies. So how do you keep the momentum going? Well you make up shit about why we have only been given a temporary reprieve from a horrible fate.

April 30 (Bloomberg)—Parts of North America and Europe may cool naturally over the next decade, as shifting ocean currents temporarily blunt the global-warming effect caused by mankind, Germany’s Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences said.

Average temperatures in areas such as California and France may drop over the next 10 years, influenced by colder flows in the North Atlantic, said a report today by the institution based in Kiel, Germany. Temperatures worldwide may stabilize in the period.

The study was based on sea-surface temperatures of currents that move heat around the world, and vary from decade to decade. This regional cooling effect may temporarily neutralize the long- term warming phenomenon caused by heat-trapping greenhouse gases building up around the earth, said Richard Wood, a research scientist at the Met Office Hadley Centre, a U.K. provider of environmental and weather-related services.

Does this stuff not sound exactly like the shit some cult leader would tell the idiots that are left waiting for the promise that the passing comet would suck them up and take them on a space ride while the rest of mankind perished 30 minutes after the predicted catastrophe did not happen or what. I did not lie to you! I just got the timing a bit wrong! The world is still ending just not when I told you so, so keep doing what I tell you no matter how crazy and destructive please. Pass the kool-aid!

The world will become at least 2.5 degrees Celsius warmer by 2100, compared with the pre-industrial period, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in March.

See? This is not over! We are still going to die unless you let us make that global socialist government to address social injustices and stop MMGW you heathens! What a bunch of retards these people must take people to be. Guess by the amount of idiots that still buy into these lies no matter how much proof emerges that they are just plain falsehoods, they are not totally wrong. Resistance is futile! Dissent will not be tolerated! Bow to Gaia’s pop the Goracle and accept the blessings of socialism or perish! Talk about your freak show.

Any doubt that there is an agenda?

One of the main things the MMGW crowd claims is that they have science on their side. Of course we all know that is pure bullshit. Consensus science is not science. There is a lot of money involved and the socialists know nothing sells mass socialism as great as a super crisis. But it does not end there. As more and more people start questioning their claims, they have decided since the facts are not on their side they will just silence the voices of dissent. Case in point the hurricane institution in Fort Collins, Colorado and the case of William Gray:

By pioneering the science of seasonal hurricane forecasting and teaching 70 graduate students who now populate the National Hurricane Center and other research outposts, William Gray turned a city far from the stormy seas into a hurricane research mecca.

But now the institution in Fort Collins, Colo., where he has worked for nearly half a century, has told Gray it may end its support of his seasonal forecasting.

As he enters his 25th year of predicting hurricane season activity, Colorado State University officials say handling media inquiries related to Gray’s forecasting requires too much time and detracts from efforts to promote other professors’ work.

But Gray, a highly visible and sometimes acerbic skeptic of climate change, says that’s a “flimsy excuse” for the real motivation — a desire to push him aside because of his global warming criticism.

I have no doubt that Gray is right about their motivations. This is the SOP for these socialists. Of course they will all tell you that they are pure because they do not take money from a special interest when their entire movement is a special interest to begin with. You are only a “scientist” or in the know about science, forget the fact that you cann not produce facts to back any of the stupid MMGW claims you make unless you fabricate them or manipulate the data and make it junk, if you back their agenda. This is a cult and nothing else. A pox on humanity.

Blame Unfufu and her SUV?

It seems that man had a close brush with extinction some 70K years ago due to weather. For real. Of course at the time according to this article man’s population dropped to some 2000 people, so they must have been driving some major SUVs and burning fossil fuels non stop to create that global warming. We now have 6.6 billion people on the planet, and a bunch of assholes that want to drag us all back to a socialist stone age blame people for climate change. I wonder how mother Gaia made all these drastic weather changes before man and the SUV came along? Think the MSM nut jobs would pick this up and report that maybe they have been wrong about the whole MMGW crap? Not holding my breath.

Wilkipedia run by leftist zealots? No way!!!1!

Why should anyone be surprised that Wilkepedia has people that monitor and edit any content that is in disagreement with liberal orthodoxy? Just have a look at how MMGW is handled. I use Wilkepedia, but I am also smart and capable enough (maybe old enough too) to know when I see bullshit. It is evident in any and all these orthodoxy items that form the socialist’s collective. So freaking sad. Silence dissent!

Say it ain’t so!

There are real consequences to “feel good” liberal policies? SAY IT AIN’T SO! We really meant well and wanted to help out poor Gaia. It looks as more and more facts come out about how counterproductive the entire green bio-fuels push has been, some of the real consequences of these policies are starting to finally become indisputable. Who could have thunk that if we took corn, rice, and other food staples off the market to make dubious bio-fuels, which tend to take more energy to produce than they can deliver anyway and thus simply defeat the entire purpose of why they where mandated (not two guys going out) in the first place, that somehow these crops would not be available for people to eat? But, but but! The libs ment well! This is what liberal government mandated policies tend to always be: nothing but feel good empty promises that cost a bundle and result in greater harm than any potential good they ever where intended to do. If you Gaia worshipping nut jobs really want to do us all a favor demand more nuclear energy and clean burning liquefied coal power production. Leave food for people to eat. Or is it that the Gaia worshippers have snowed us all and come up with a way to reduce world population through starvation and the wars that such starvation is sure to cause??

Why who is in the WH matters.

Many of my fellow conservatives have taken the stance that since McCain is no worse than your average democrat when it comes to his social beliefs, showing your dissatisfaction with him by helping a democrat win the WH and then get the blame for the damage the supposed socialist policies both they and McCain would enact will help the conservative cause. I think these people are crazy because they are hoping that a shift to the right in Congress would somehow check a donkey in the WH. i am not sure why they feel so assured Congress will go right in the next election. But that is an argument for a different time. What I am writing about is the presidential power to appoint judges to the SCOTUS. It is a given IMO that the next president will appoint at least 2 judges. All you need to do is read this article about the effects of the Medellin v. Texas SACOTUS decision and this other one about how that decision translates to the US ratifying the Kyoto protocol or some other such international treaty would have played out if the left had been the majority on the SCOTUS and abdicated our Constitutional rights to some international body like the ICJ. Read them both.

DOH!

Well it now looks like another “Green” idea, always something coming from the left, has been proven to be more damaging than good. This is the kind of crap you get when the feel good, “action now” crowd gets its way and forces changes without really having them be analyzed.

Almost all biofuels used today cause more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels if the full emissions costs of producing these “green” fuels are taken into account, two studies being published Thursday have concluded. The benefits of biofuels have come under increasing attack in recent months, as scientists took a closer look at the global environmental cost of their production. These latest studies, published in the prestigious journal Science, are likely to add to the controversy.

These studies for the first time take a detailed, comprehensive look at the emissions effects of the huge amount of natural land that is being converted to cropland globally to support biofuels development. The destruction of natural ecosystems — whether rain forest in the tropics or grasslands in South America — not only releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when they are burned and plowed, but also deprives the planet of natural sponges to absorb carbon emissions. Cropland also absorbs far less carbon than the rain forests or even scrubland that it replaces.

So guess what? Most of the crap the greens want us to switch to from oil based feul is worse than oil. But hey, they go action and mandated (no not to guys going on a date) that this crap be the norm before anyone knew if it was good or bad. Of course most people that were not infected by an insane level of anxiety or anger for oil, coupled with some scientific knowlegde (not the concensus kind either), predicted this was going to be the case from the start. While some doubters might say ethanol or methanol from waste biomass might prove to be better, I remain skeptical about that posibility as well.

I do however agree with anything that sticks it to OPEC. If we are smart we start drilling here in our continent for our own oil, build a ton of new nuclear facilites, process and make clean liquified coal feul that can be used in new plants designed to use this cleanly, and in general remove all use of oil for anything other than transportation (with lots of efforts to eventually do that as well). It ought to seriously drop the demand and prices, but more importantly, cut dependency on OPEC or Russia which do not good with this new found wealth & power.

How to really use science when discussing Global Warming

As an engineer I have been constantly baffled how people didn’t understand why the predictions from the priests of the Man Made Global Warming religion have not engendered scorn and heaps of humiliation on these morons. Anyone that actually looks at the numbers & predictions can immediately see the massive flaws in the whole thing, but just do the numbers, and you find these people are full of shit. Anyway. Jerome J. Schmitt has done a bang up job looking at the numbers, and he concludes & proves in this short piece why these global warming religionists should be laughed at and ridiculed: not taken seriously.

The problem with using science is that while it deals in hard facts it fails to account for the primary motivation driving these lunatics praying at the altar of MMGW: socialism. The fact is that while there are a lot of true believers, the people leading the movement know they are lying. They justify it however because they all believe they are on a noble crusade - to save mankind from the evil of capitalism, a task only they are fit to accomplish as our leaders - to save us from the evils of capitalism (the only good capitalists are those that serve their cause). Because the failures, and the hundreds of millions of casualties, of socialism are easy to see in the history of the last century, they are forced to resort to scare tactics to get enough people to buy into their totalitarian ideas. I guess the short story here is that the only way to sell this global socialist government these people are championing is to convince enough idiots that there is a catastrophe just around the corner, and more importantly, that only they have the solution.

Of course again, anyone with even a bit of scientific knowledge can then immediately surmise that their proposed solution is political and economic, and in no way able to address or affect the real problem. That is if it was a real problem. From the money quote in this article:

Even if sufficient heat is trapped in the atmosphere to raise it the maximum value predicted by anthropogenic “global warming” alarmists (5°C) over the next 100 years, hundreds of times more heat energy must be imparted into the ice-caps to melt sufficient ice to raise sea-levels the catastrophic levels prophesied by Al Gore.

The message from science here is simple: the MMGW religionists are a bunch of alarmist liars, and their lies are told because they have an agenda that requires a panicked and emotional response to a global catastrophe that will not survive the rigors of real scientitifc inspection. If these losers peddling the “End of the world” really believed what they preached they would be clamoring for nuclear energy to solve our emissions. But they are not. In the mean time, they dismiss a real global threat: the rise of Islamic radicalism and its war to subjugate all of us to Islam. Go figure!

Happy New Year! get ready for the cold?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We keep getting bombarded with crap about how warm it has become - and of course the usual collecivists blame man and say that letting them form a global government that redistributes the world’s wealth is the only way to stop this despite the obvious notion that wealth nor man are behind any change in climate - by the usual suspects, but every once in a while someone pops up and points out that this solar cycle is over and the cold will be back. My bet is on the cooling. Of course the alrmist collectivists will be then telling us that to prevent the planet from being covered with ice we need to let them form a global government that redistributes the world’s wealth. Same old shit, differnt day. Enjoy your 2008.

Global warming leads to.. world wide cool temps?

This is just got to be hillareous stuff you can not make up: record low temps being set around the globe. I wonder how the same people that have now predicted massive hurricane activity due to global warming - and been dead wrong - for the last two years will explain this stuff. The way they seem to twist logic and facts always leaves you wondering if they are sane, but then again, MMGW is nothing but a collectivist cult and more about faith than facts or logic. Don’t worry Pope Gore will talk and it will get hot from all that gas again…

Another layer of the Global Warming hoax exposed

Just as more and more objective researchers are saying that the culprit is the sun and not man the UN is holding a very large and intensive carbon footprint party meeting in Bali where party crashers are again reminding us that this is about politics and not science. There is big money and a great opportunity to spread collectivism with the usual elite on top here though, so do not expect the religon of MMGW to go away without a big fight.

This is too simple

Do you need any more proof that the left is using the topic of man made global warming to push a socialist agenda and to enact a global socialist government that’s going to primarily redistribute the world’s wealth? Have a look at what the proposed plans are:

WASHINGTON—Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. To back up his claim he is proposing a recipe many people won’t like _ a 50-cent gasoline tax, a carbon tax and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.

“I’m trying to have everybody understand that this is going to cost and that it’s going to have a measure of pain that you’re not going to like,” Rep. John Dingell, who is marking his 52nd year in Congress, said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press.

Dingell will offer a “discussion draft” outlining his tax proposals on Thursday, the same day that President Bush holds a two-day conference to discuss voluntary efforts to combat climate change.

But Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that will craft climate legislation, is making it clear that he believes tackling global warming will require a lot more if it is to be taken seriously.

Oh Please! If these morons were really about stopping man made global warming, they would be spending money on building nuclear power plants - the only viable means of generating relaiable electical capacity - and switching to drilling for more of our own natural gas, oil and coal in order to supplement the energy requirements while bringing up enough capacity to allow us to switch to other alternative energy technologies. Not straddling us with more idiotic taxes that will then be used to buy votes through socialist handouts. What a crock of shit.

Well blow me down!

You know how the intellectuals on the left are always telling us that those people that deny their version of man made global warming are always bought & paid for by evil corporations or conservatives that have their own clean air, water, food, and housing supplies and want to destroy the rest of the world for us? Well what are we to now think about that famous NASA scientist, James Hansen, the one that accused the Bush Administration of playing fast & loose with the data to hide the fact man made global warming was going on, now that we get to know that he took over $ 720K from MoveOn.org & George Soros, no friends of anything but hard line socialism/communism there.
How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely “NASA whistleblower” standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute , which gave him “legal and media advice”?

That’s right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros’ flagship “philanthropy,” by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI’s “politicization of science” program. That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly “censored” spiel for weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda. Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage.

Had Hansen’s OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could have been different. Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage. Had Hansen’s OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could have been different.

If one were to apply those standards by which the left denies credentials to those they do not want talking, Hansen is at best damaged goods, and likely nothing but a politcal hack that was bought & paid for by anti-American forces. Of course I do not expect the MSM, another branch of the DNC and those that want to sell us global socialist government, will not be carrying this tidbit of information anytime soon. Can you imagine how much credibility Hansen’s words would have had if this was actually common knowledge? I mean this guy was really bought & paid for, something that most of those the left dismisses were not simply because their funding didn’t originate from the right place. Of course money from Soros or MoveOn.org might not be a problem for those of the moonbat persuasion. But it doesnn’t stop here..

That’s not the only case. Didn’t the mainstream media report that 2006’s vast immigration rallies across the country began as a spontaneous uprising of 2 million angry Mexican-flag waving illegal immigrants demanding U.S. citizenship in Los Angeles, egged on only by a local Spanish-language radio announcer?

Turns out that wasn’t what happened, either. Soros’ OSI had money-muscle there, too, through its $17 million Justice Fund. The fund lists 19 projects in 2006. One was vaguely described involvement in the immigration rallies. Another project funded illegal immigrant activist groups for subsequent court cases. So what looked like a wildfire grassroots movement really was a manipulation from OSI’s glassy Manhattan offices. The public had no way of knowing until the release of OSI’s 2006 annual report.

If anyone is buying the people and steering the news, like the good ol’ fascist in Nazi Germany used to do, it looks like MoveOn.org, Sorros, and the complicit MSM are the ones doing that. Spread the news…

Scientific concensus my ass..

Well it looks like even those that claim that there is a scientific consensus on global warming - and we all know that any consensus science is no science at all since science is about facts not opinions - are either wrong or lying as usual. It looks like there are a large number of scientists - the kind that likely still believe in objectivity and not mixing their politics with their persuits of science - out there.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/—A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun’s irradiance. “This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature increases since 1850,” said Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Dennis Avery.

Other researchers found evidence that 3) sea levels are failing to rise importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that corals, trees, birds, mammals, and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate.

Despite being published in such journals such as Science, Nature and Geophysical Review Letters, these scientists have gotten little media attention. “Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global warming skeptics,” said Avery, “but the evidence in their studies is there for all to see.”

I of course do not expect the man made global warming cultists to come clean on this. See the agenda isn’t to correct a looming disaster at all, but to create a one world socialist government that redistributes wealth and puts these elites in charge. You can not sell that on its own merits and need to invent a catastrophe only such a unified socialist world government could handle. Of course all you have to do is listen to how they then propose to solve the problems to know that there aren’t any problems related to the climate being addressed. I have a feeling the anti-capiltalist globalist crowd will have to find a new disaster to rally people to soonish because this one is not sticking. We have had the fears of the ice age, then the warming one. What’s next? Aliens coming to probe our cattle over & over?
