Wasting Time With Alex

Global warming huh?

Well another PhD is pointing out that man-made global warming is s sham at the same time that bitter cold is gripping the North East, Hawaii is dealing with a major cold spell, and the cold is brutal even in places where it usually doesn’t get cold. Sure some places have experienced some milder than usual weather, but many have also experienced seriously colder weather than usual. Of course the alarmists are focusing only on that information that helps them peddle the global warming scare and demand we all give in to a one-world government that will redistribute wealth in the name of social justice and solve all our problems. Anyway, here is an excerpt:

No sensible person seeks conflict, especially with governments, but if we don’t pursue the truth, we are lost as individuals and as a society. That is why I insist on saying that there is no evidence that we are, or could ever cause global climate change. And, recently, Yuri A. Izrael, Vice President of the United Nations sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed this statement. So how has the world come to believe that something is wrong?

Maybe for the same reason we believed, 30 years ago, that global cooling was the biggest threat: a matter of faith. “It is a cold fact: the Global Cooling presents humankind with the most important social, political, and adaptive challenge we have had to deal with for ten thousand years. Your stake in the decisions we make concerning it is of ultimate importance; the survival of ourselves, our children, our species,” wrote Lowell Ponte in 1976.

I was as opposed to the threats of impending doom global cooling engendered as I am to the threats made about Global Warming. Let me stress I am not denying the phenomenon has occurred. The world has warmed since 1680, the nadir of a cool period called the Little Ice Age (LIA) that has generally continued to the present. These climate changes are well within natural variability and explained quite easily by changes in the sun. But there is nothing unusual going on.

Since I obtained my doctorate in climatology from the University of London, Queen Mary College, England my career has spanned two climate cycles. Temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980 and in the early 1970’s global cooling became the consensus. This proves that consensus is not a scientific fact. By the 1990’s temperatures appeared to have reversed and Global Warming became the consensus. It appears I’ll witness another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling.

No doubt passive acceptance yields less stress, fewer personal attacks and makes career progress easier. What I have experienced in my personal life during the last years makes me understand why most people choose not to speak out; job security and fear of reprisals. Even in University, where free speech and challenge to prevailing wisdoms are supposedly encouraged, academics remain silent.

Dead on! We already see the reactions of those that get angry at the people pointing out the man-made global warming agenda is bull. For now when exposed they are ridiculed, but I am afraid a time is coming where the tide will turn and these socialists with an agenda will be able to silence anyone that disagrees with them. Global warming has become the new religion of the progressive masses. It is about faith in the gospel that man is responsible for climate change and that only social justice will address this properly and restore balance. Thus science is manipulated to produce the desired outcome while those that reject or question it get accused of being unscientific. As an engineer it is impossible for me to simply ignore the impact of the sun on climate. Especially since as a sane person I also do not buy that the cure is a socialist takeover with the objective to redistribute wealth. But that is just me.
