Game Over for Global Warming

It is about time! Some of us have been blogging for years on the growing AGW scam. It just never made any sense. The numbers didn't add up and there was just way too much suppression of any logical discussion.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of all of this, investigate those that have benefited from this and give them the appropriate penalties.

We are witnessing a re-birth of core American values and people are finally realizing that their apathy will cost them and will cost their children dearly.

We have only yet begun to fight to bring truth into the light of day and expose these frauds for what they are.

It's time to pray for global warming, says Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson

A well written opinion piece that concisely explains the current state of global warming. Where is the media reporting on the meeting in December? Not a peep...gee I wonder why?

Time to take our country back from the raging left loon's!!!

Excerpt:
If you're wondering why North America is starting to resemble nuclear winter, then you missed the news.

At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, "For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?"

I asked myself, why would such obviously smart guy say such a ridiculous thing? But it turns out he's right.

The earth's temperature peaked in 1998. It's been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels.

Meanwhile, the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center released conclusive satellite photos showing that Arctic ice is back to 1979 levels. What's more, measurements of Antarctic ice now show that its accumulation is up 5 percent since 1980.

In other words, during what was supposed to be massive global warming, the biggest chunks of ice on earth grew larger. Just as an aside, do you remember when the hole in the ozone layer was going to melt Antarctica? But don't worry, we're safe now, that was the nineties.

Global Warming Debunked by Augie Auer

Augie Auer steps up the plate yet another time and provides the basic calculations regarding carbon dioxide. Augie states that in five years time this man-made global warming controversy will be a joke. Kind of reminds me of the global cooling scare back in the 70's that ended up being quite the scam as well.

Augie presents a basic framework for understanding greenhouse effect on planet Earth. Basically without greenhouse effect our planet would be at minus 18 deg C instead of the plus 15 deg C that we enjoy now.

When you run his numbers it is pretty clear that even if we totally eliminated man-made carbon dioxide it probably would make any difference at all in regard to climate change.

Carbon dioxide makes up 3.6% of the greenhouse gases and the man-made carbon dioxide portion is only 3.2% of the 3.6% or 0.12% of the total of greenhouse gases. It seems to reason that 1/12 of 1% of anything is pretty much nothing.

So goes another chapter in the great Al Gore swindle of the century. How many of you think his rock concert for global warming is a good idea? I can imagine just how much carbon dioxide that concert will create...wish somebody would calculate that - but with Al Gore's new math he would conclude that it is only 1/12 of 1% of the daily carbon dioxide so it isn't a big deal, besides he can buy them away with carbon credits! Aye yi yi!

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reversing Belief in Man-mad Global Warming

The link goes to an interesting post about scientists that are now changing their previously stated positions on global warming and how they are now becoming skeptics of man-made global warming.

Of course the media is playing the climate alarmists tune the loudest and science seems to gaining a more realistic view of the impact of climate change on our planet. You can see more of the negative slinging toward the opponents of man-made global warming with statements from the U.N. stating it is "completely immoral" to doubt global warming fears!

A statement like that is irresponsible and just plain absurd. The whole purpose of the scientific process is to challenge any and all positions on a topic. To demonize someone for having an opposing view is just further evidence of how desperate and extreme the proponents are.

Of course the U.N. is constantly struggling to validate itself as a useful organization even though they are thoroughly corrupt and have ultimately failed on most of their endeavors - to them man-made global warming agenda is a financial windfall.

We need more open and public debate on the subject especially with trillions of taxpayers dollars at stake.

Scientist who helped invent meteorology thinks the climate alarmists have it wrong!

Reid Bryson the 30th person to receive a PhD in Meteorology has come out stating the current politically charged climate alarmists have it wrong!

Reid states there is no doubt that the climate is changing as it always is however, it is absurd to think climate warming is caused by man. Reid claims that our warming trend is a continued change of our climate as it came out of the Little Ice Age in the early 1800's.

Now Reid is 86 years old and has been working on the science and climate for most of his life. A lot of alarmists should really listen to his perspective - as it is unique from the standpoint he probably has more experience on the topic than 99% of the human race.

The article is a good read and it is nice to read a level headed response from such an authority.

Climate change occurring on Mars similar to Earth's

The Sunday Times on the other side of the Pond ran an interesting story about the climate change occurring on Mars. Mars has warmed about 0.5c since the 70's - about the same amount that Earth has warmed during the same period.

It is this kind of evidence that strongly suggests that Earth is experiencing global warming as a natural phenomena and not specifically caused by man. The Sun plays a much larger role in climate change than I think many of the alarmists are willing to give it credit for.

After all man-made global warming is a great way to guilt the human race into spilling trillions of their hard earned dollars into government programs that create wealth and power for the liberal elite!

Dr. William Gray: Oceans Cause Global Warming, Not CO2

Renown hurricane forecaster Dr. William Gray came out swinging again yesterday. His voice of reason is really starting to resonate. He has been correctly predicting hurricane forecasts for over 40 years.

It is his belief that the current global warming trend is caused by the ocean currents and soon we will start to see a cooling trend.

He went after the Gore alarmists approach to global warming - the camp that states that humans are responsible for the current global warming trend. Gray summed it up nicely:

"They're blaming it all on humans, which is crazy," he said. "We're not the cause of it."

Gray also pointed out that politics and research into global warming have created an industry that unfairly scares the population and attacks dissenting voices.

He went on to say that the computer models used by the alarmist camp are unreliable and are just "mush". Gray noted that there are hundreds of factors that influence the weather.

Most of the scientific information I have digested indicates to me that the CO2 increases are actually a result of the global warming trend and not the cause of it.

Industry caught in carbon ‘smokescreen’ - might be a scam - SHOCKER!

Interesting article yesterday in the Financial Times regarding the ole Carbon Credits debacle. Looks like this whole "carbon credits" nightmare is looking pretty sketchy. This whole scheme reminds me of the Catholic Indulgences payment for sin scam!

The FT investigation found:

• Widespread instances of people and organisations buying worthless credits that do not yield any reductions in carbon emissions.
• Industrial companies profiting from doing very little – or from gaining carbon credits on the basis of efficiency gains from which they have already benefited substantially.
• Brokers providing services of questionable or no value.
• A shortage of verification, making it difficult for buyers to assess the true value of carbon credits.
• Companies and individuals being charged over the odds for the private purchase of European Union carbon permits that have plummeted in value because they do not result in emissions cuts.

Where is Al Gore screaming about this? Why is it that people think they can always "buy" an excuse for their hypocritical behavior?

Interesting read but wholly not surprising.

Scientist: Warming not caused by humans

Wendy Reeves over at The Huntsville Times has a story about Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and former NASA scientist.

Roy Spencer is another scientist stepping up to proclaim Global Warming is not caused by humans. Roy has recently testified to congress about Global Warming and Climate Change.

Roy also has a website: http://www.ecoenquirer.com/. Be prepared as the site is definitely a satirists view on Global Warming. Roy is not only an accomplished and respected scientist but he is pretty funny as well!

Top MIT Meteroligists Slams Alarmist Approach to Global Warming and States Their Perspective Has No Basis in Science

Newsweek has an article in the upcoming April 16th issue that will certainly raise some eyebrows. Here is another example of a top scientist coming out against the alarmists approach to Global Warming.

Richard Lindzen MIT's top meteorologist has come out swinging against the media driven consensus regarding Global Warming. Specifically the earth is facing a crisis requiring urgent action - this statement has nothing to do with science. He goes on to further explain that there is absolutely no evidence to suggest anything close to a catastrophe.

He also makes a great point about predicting the weather. That somehow our warming forecasts for 30 years in the future is somehow more reliable than the forecast for next week.

Here is an interesting twist for you: Richard also suggest that a warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the climate we currently have. He blames the alarmist approach on their ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate.

This article is very worthwhile reading and really should cause people pause and take a moment to rethink and question what is being presented behind an extremists environmental or political agenda.

BTW: Richard receives no funding from any energy company.

Top Hurricane Forecaster says Gore has it all wrong!

Another voice of recent with impeccable credentials steps forward and calls Al Gore "a gross alarmist". Dr. William Gray the world's top hurricane forecaster thinks Gore is doing a great disservice and he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Is anyone really surprised? Al Gore is a politician, he is in it because it garners him political power and many opportunities to increase his personal wealth.

This article is a good read for anyone looking to debunk the alarmists approach to forcing normal folk into spending trillions of dollars.

GORE REFUSES TO TAKE PERSONAL ENERGY ETHICS PLEDGE

Gore refusing to take a personal energy ethics pledge is a perfect example of what a poor leader he really is.

His personal home consumes 20 times more energy per year than the average US home. He hides behind carbon credits as his way of balancing his energy usage. Let's face it folks, carbon credits are as big a scam as donating a lot of money to the Catholic church to buy your way into heaven.

Gore asks us if we are ready to change the way we live? Who is making the sacrifice here? Gore wants to buy a pass with carbon credits which he pays for by money he makes off the Global Warming swindle! Doesn't anyone see through this veil of deception?

A good and strong leader sets an example by doing what he wants others to do. Gore wants to dictate change and then be exempt from it. Sounds like the creation of an elite class here and Gore is part of it and wants the lesser classes to have to bear the burden of the changes he wants to impose while he profits from these changes.

Sorry I am not buying it. I have to give credit to Sen. Inhofe for coming up with this pledge. This should have been a no-brainer for Gore to agree to if he really believed change was necessary.

Here is a link to the skeptics guide to debunking Global Warming: http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.Facts&ContentRecord_id=8f5c9829-c459-4d17-89bb-3e3b04d8d444&Region_id=&Issue_id=

Did anyone else catch the fact that Al Gore was allowed to submit his written testimoney to the GOP only 2 hours before he testified? Typically anyone who is going to testify needs to submit their written testimoney 48 hours before they testify. Dingle waived the requirement - if this Global Warming argument is so strong and foolproof why would they need to try to slide this through like this?

Also did you see one of the Democrats called Gore a prophet? Barbara Boxer said Gore has provided them hope?

Climate scientist sees cover-up

This being reported by The Washington Times today...

Wow! James Hansen a director at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies is claiming he was muzzled by the Bush administration about speaking out on Global Warming.

He is one of the scientists behind Al Gore and his alarmist approach to the problem. Mr. Hansen claims the Bush adminstration block his interview on NPR because it is a liberal slanted outlet. Mr. Hansen claims it was an oral threat made to a public affairs person and then relayed to him.

Let's take a look at some interesting facts about Mr. Hansen.

Ironically he had a tough time reconciling the fact that during this time period he had participated in over 1400 other interviews with the press although he claims he was controlled by the Bush administration.

He was paid $250,000 in form of a grant from the Heinz foundation (controlled by Teresa Heinz AKA John Kerry's wife).

He is also a senior advisor to Al Gore and was a consultant (paid I am sure) to Al Gore's outrageous Global Warming docudrama "An Inconvenient Truth".

The fact behind his interview being blocked has nothing to do with politics but because of Mr. Hansen's repeated violations of NASA's policies regarding interviews. Mr. Hansen did not deny violating the policy. So he is paid by NASA and when hired and by accepting a paycheck agrees to NASA's policies. He violates the policy and get himself blocked from the interview but he somehow wants to blame the Bush administration.

It seems the only inconvenient truth here is the fact that James Hansen looks to be bought and paid for by liberal wing of the democrats which are jumping on the Al Gore view of science and Global Warming. It looks more like a democratic cover-up not a Bush cover-up.

But then again this kind of logic is consistent with the logic applied to the science surrounding human made Global Warming.

Oh and by the way Mr. Hansen also stated that the White House is making strides in the environmental agenda and claims "It is a success story" and Bush should be given credit for it.

Go figure?

Researchers Question Validity Of A 'Global Temperature'

The Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen is analyzing the approach used to calculate a "single" average temperature and has come to the conclusion that basically it is impossible to assign a "single" average temperature to Earth.

That same "single" average temperature is what is being used to fuel the alarmists approach to the Global Warming argument. Bjarne Anderson explains that it is impossible because of the number of variables and complications that are connected to all the different areas of the globe.

He likens the scientific value of the "single" average temperature to that of taking the average of all the phone numbers from the phone book - it is an average, it is a single number but it is meaningless.

We need a lot more analysis and scientific study done to come to a reasonable conclusion on this issue. I find it very strange that scientists don't want their studies to come under peer review - isn't that what real science is all about? Scientists put forth their findings and other scientists work to replicate their efforts to validate it.

Al Gore Challenged to International TV Debate on Global Warming

Now this is something I would like to see. Lord Mockton has challenged Al Gore to a public debate on the topic of Global Warming and the science behind Al Gore's agenda.

Here is an excerpt from the article announcing the public challenge:

Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said, "A careful study of the substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide."

Remember Margaret Thatcher started the IPCC which is supporting Al Gore's position. I happen to agree with Lord Mockton and there are so many legitimate scientists finally speaking out against this.

Tenn. mine enriched Gore, scarred land

Article in the Tennessean today discussing how Al Gore profits from industry that exploits and damages the environment. Al Gore received land from his father that he has leased to a mining company and has received some $500,000 in royalty payments during the lease. How Gore Sr. received the land to begin with is very sketchy as well - another one of the great deals that people in power seem priviledged to have access to. I wonder why that is?

This story presented today has been talked about since 2000 but it is timely as it is right before Gore has to face a grilling on the Hill tomorrow morning.

Here is a link to one of the earlier stories in the WSJ.

http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=65000070

Also on the Hill Gore will be facing off with Dingell and even though he is a staunch Democrat he has not taken to the Global Warming Cool-aid like the other drones. It will be interesting to see what questions are asked and how Gore will try spin the misinformation to answer them. Hopefully the media will have the conscience to relay the truth and not some politicized agenda.

As we learn that other planets like Mars, Jupiter and even far away worlds like Pluto are experiencing climate shift and change it is becoming clear that solar activity is the primary culprit behind Global Warming.

We need to get serious about the issue and do something tangible about it and move away from this new form of environmental extremism. Now that most of the globe agrees we need to be good stewards of our planet the environmental extremists need a new pony to ride and this is it - Man made Global Warming.

I personally would like to hear Al Gore's position on nuclear power plants as that is the quickest way to solve the majority of energy problems we face and will certainly move a long way to getting us off our foreign oil dependency.

Yellowstone Supervolcano Making Strange Rumblings

Fox News has an interesting article about the Supervolcano that exists under Yellowstone National Park. It continues to have significant activity which is raising concerns, however the Boffins don't think it will blow its' top anytime soon.

As I was reading the article some of the data that they have been tracking really jumped out at me.They measure the rate of rise or sink the floor of caldera experiences. Granted they only have 17 years of data but the data is still interesting nonetheless.

During 1987 until 1995 the floor sank 4.4 inches or an average of .55 inches per year for the time period.

I have not looked at all the specific data to see if the caldera flucuated between rising and sinking.

Then from 1995 until 2000 the northwest rim of the caldera rose approximiately 3 inches or an average of .6 inches per year for the time period.

From 2000 until 2003 the rim rose another 1.4 inches or an average of .46 inches per year for the time period. During this same time period the main floor of the caldera sank a little more than an inch.

Then the surprise. During 2004 to 2006 the main floor rose almost 7 inches or an average of 2.3 inches per year for the same time period. That is a 433% increase in movement activity as compared to the recorded data starting in 1987 averaged out.

Some of the data is in relation to the rim of the crater but having the main floor of the caldera changing with that much change would have me questioning - exactly what is going on here?

Sounds like a bulge is building and that eventually means a big eruption. History tells us this Supervolcano has had several massive eruptions in the past and it will happen again.

Now as compared to the Global Warming threat - I think this is a much more serious issue and definitely needs attention. This kind of disaster is in the category of an Asteroid killer and we need to get up to speed on how to deal with these real immediate life-changing scenarios.

This is something that is definitely going to happen and when it does happen we know for a fact what the consequences are. Global Warming for example is an important and serious topic but the changes will occur over years, probably hundreds, if not thousands but we will find ways to adapt and survive that situation.

A Supervolcano or Killer Asteroid could literally wipe out human existence in 6 months. Why isn't there more serious discussion or funding going into this? Take the asteroid scenario, NASA just announced they don't have the funds to deal with all the NEO (near earth objects) -are these topics less politically helpful?

Where is the alarmist support for this? When this blows - that's it for the good ole US of A!

Bottom line the politicians are behind Global Warming because they can effect change which garners additional global power and a lot of money.

I would suggest we need to wake up to many real threats that are definitively on our doorstep and not ones that are based on questionable science and an agenda of power mongering and profiteering!

NYTIMES Calls for Al Gore to Cool the Hype!

It starts right out with calling Gore's approach the "three alarm fire" approach.

This article is a must read.

I wish science would stick with scientists and ditch the politicians!

Global Warming Is Not a Crisis

Wow ABC is running an opinion today contrary to the politically correct agenda of alarmist Global Warming.

The opinion makes several good and valid points.

Bottom line we just don't have enough information to make a clear determination on this issue. Should we bend to the alarmist position and waste trillions of dollars on fighting something that might not be or invest in a battle that we have no chance of winning with current thinking.

Sun Blamed for Warming of Earth and Other Worlds

More evidence that the sun is the main cause of the global warming on Earth and other planets.

The article does a decent job of explaining a variety of different views on the issue and how the climate is changing on other planets as well.

Drudge is reporting today that the NY Times is going to run an explosive article claiming Al Gore's claims are exaggerated and really behind his political agenda.

What is interesting with a lot of these articles is the similarity to the Global Cooling articles during the 70's. It is such a shame that the Sheeple in this country have such a short memory.
