Think Locally – Ignore Globally

They just got done telling us that 17 years of no global warming is much too short to draw any conclusions, and now they are back to drawing conclusions based on one year in one location.

    CO2 is sure fine tuning it’s targeting ability. I thought it was global warming, but now I see it is actually highly targeted, precision guided warming.

  2. Global warming hasn’t hit my house yet today, although it’s warm indoors

    • Glacierman says:

      Quit breathing so heavily, obviously there is excess CO2 re-radiating all that heat. If you keep breathing your will cook yourself, or so the theory goes.

    Ok, I confess. I was rotating my emergency stock and noticed I had 480kg of baked beans best before 11th September 2013, so I ate nothing but while restocking with new stuff. The methane levels are off the scale and the carbon dioxide is so thick you need a backhoe to get into my place. Was bubbling and parping down the street and folks kept saying good morning professor or good day minister until they noticed the pungent fumes were actually coming from further south. It’s all my fault. Perhaps if I’d thought to wear rubber undies I could have milked the scam and gotten me a few grants and a free trip to watch polar bears eating greenies, but I’m too honest for that.

  4. CO2 is amazing. Naturally produced CO2 is totally harmless but the CO2 fraction produced as a consequences of man’s action is devastating. The CO2 produced by our burning fossil fuels is especially devastating. Man made CO2 is actually a thermos jug that traps the heat from the sun. Then, like a laser, beams that heat to the earth’s surface to heat it while retaining all the heat within itself so as to do still more damage. All of this excessive trapped heat is causing floods, drouth, hurricanes, tornadoes, melting of ice caps, cold summers, hot winters, early and late snow, rising and lowering of sea leveled, volcanoes, earth quakes, halitosis, arthritis, and extremely mild and uneventful weather. It is this last extreme that does the most damage. It lulls us into believing that everything is OK so we relax and enjoy the nice weather. Then WHAM! abnormal weather hits and causes unimaginable damage.

    Clearly the only thing we can do to save ourselves is stop the future, institute totalitarian global governance under the loving care of the UN, transfer all of our accumulated wealth to be distributed to the poor despots and dictators of the earth, and live the life style of our ancestors 500,000 years ago. Or maybe not.

    Maybe this is all a scam. Weather simply happens and there is nothing we can do about it but not build on flood plains or in burn prone areas. Perhaps we should avoid other areas were natural catastrophes are well known to have occurred. In other words, do as man has done from the get go and adapt his environment to sustain HIS life and protect himself from natural harms.

    Although, what would happen to the UN and all those poor dictators and despots? Don’t they have a right to feel useful and wanted? NO! They can go to the hell they have planned for the rest of us. They have no right to exist at our expense.

    I now refer to climate alarmists as climate terrorists. Ignorance and stupidity is no excuse.

    It would be interesting to see a poll of how many of you guys accept the theory or evolution.

      • Avery Harden says:

        You are good with a search engine, I’ll hand you that. It took humans 6 million years to evolve. Hundreds of thousands of years go by before a species pops out a significant evolved change. Life has been evolving for 3.5 billion years. The hundred year record of rising co2 and temperature has nothing to do with evolution.
        I was just recalling a poll awhile back where fourty percent of Americans don’t believe in evolution and most of that fourty percent come from the political right.

    • LLAP says:

      @Avery: “It would be interesting to see a poll of how many of you guys accept the theory or evolution.”

      I will go one better – I have taught it at the senior level in high school. Like many on this site, I used to believe in AGW, but now reject it for a variety of reasons.

      “It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

      I have no quarrel with the theory of evolution. I have questions, and maybe someday they will be answered. And because it does me no harm, I can accept it, until a better theory is put forth.

      On the other hand CAGW does pick my pockets, disables industry, and kills innocent humans through starvation and denial of modernity. Money wasted on this most dubious of conjectures could be spent to help the neediest amongst us to live better and longer.

      Please, no more strawman arguments about cancer, evolution or big oil.

        @ Gator “On the other hand CAGW does pick my pockets, disables industry, and kills innocent humans through starvation and denial of modernity. Money wasted on this most dubious of conjectures could be spent to help the neediest amongst us to live better and longer. ”
        Exactly — and this is what really troubles me about the CAGW enthusiasts. Their “solutions” invariably involve lowering the life spans of billions of people, especially brown and yellow people in the third world, but hey!, you have to break a few eggs, huh? Some years back I used to tell myself that that the mass of CAGW supporters were simply uninformed, that they did not understand the facts or the scientific method, that they were not completely responsible for their actions. I no longer give them that much leeway. The triviality of CO2 in controling the climate is so apparent now that the best I can say about CAGW supporters is that they are willfully blind, so blind that they are guilty of manslaughter rather than murder. Their actions are leading to the deaths of many — but they simply cannot be bothered to actually investigate the facts of the matter.

    The problem with man-made CO2 is that it stands out for the folks. Natural carbon dioxide is invisible but man-made CO2 looks like black smoke, even in newspaper photographs. I witnessed it firsthand the other day when I noticed a crowd of women in black in front of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center in Boulder when I stopped next door to get Chinese food. They were pointing to a puff of black smoke in the sky and protesting against it. One of them fainted and her companions gave her salts. I could tell they were volunteers. A progressive Boulder man told me the center was earlier devastated by man-made CO2 and fired all paid protesters. The staffing problem in the peace and justice industry was made very clear that day. I’ve never seen the paid professionals faint but volunteers just don’t get vetted like hired hands. I’ve heard from a Weld County rancher that he’s seen the group after it moved and was protesting against the building of the Keystone XL Pipeline at Canyon and Broadway. I did not look into the details but that seemed like a reasonable objection and I probably agree with the womenfolk on this. The intersection of Canyon and Broadway is in the Boulder Creek floodplain and they should not put any piece of the pipeline there. It’s a busy place overrun by panhandlers, protesters against Israel and Occupy Everything demonstrators. It would also be hard to run the pipeline from Nebraska to the intersection because there are a lot of buildings and landscaping in the way. It’s just a bad place for this pipeline. It should cross Nebraska in straight line towards Steele City and not go through downtown Boulder.

  8. Paul in Sweden says:

    My wife starts wearing long johns every year sometime in August. Perhaps someone in the vast well financed global warming industries needs to speak with her.

    • Paul in Sweden says:

      Granted every year without fail sometime in December or January she is fed up with me and tells me I must no longer wear shorts because all the other people at the bus stop standing in the snow give her peculiar looks….

  9. Colorado Wellington says:

    I understand that. The womenfolk here sometimes say the same thing. You should wear man’s pants outside. You’d never hear the rancher wives joke about who is wearing the shorts in which family.

    I had this experience once in Key West when I went to the grocery store right after my beach run still wearing my tight runner’s shorts with sides slits. Several men spoke to me strangely and one called me boy and offered to buy me a drink. I don’t go to bars in the morning and after that I always wore long pants to the store. My wife used to make fun of me for that so there is the other side. Women will get you both ways about pants.

    On the other hand I heard a Greeley man say that if he ever goes to San Francisco again he will not wear his cowboy boots. He said he made his intentions clear but nobody believed him. He had to buy a pair of sneakers to get around town. But his long pants were ok and I’m sticking with them. The Swedish stock men here see it the same way. It’s just the Scots that brought different habits from the old country.

  10. Ian says:

    The BOM in Australia have introduced a new data set (ACORN) in the past 2 years with only 112 stations. Ever since it has been in, we have had comparative heat records for almost all categories – hottest day, hottest months, hottest twelve months.
    There has been no data provided on the ACORN site for this year so it’s been hard to ascertain the truth to all these claims. ACORN data has been adjusted for many of the years before 1950 and the dropping of many stations means we do not know which stations they are comparing the temps with.

    I know all people on the political right are not creationist, it just seems like it some times. My favorite exhibit in D.C. is the Human Origins at the Natural Science museum. David Koch put up a significant amount of money for it. I think he also put up a significant amount for the renovation of the Dinosaur Hall making it one of, if not the best, in the world. That is the best legacy he could leave, I just wish he stopped there.

    • Colorado Wellington says:

      You don’t like David Koch’s libertarian politics?

      No problem. Join forces with all the rent seekers, dependents, world government promoters, Communists, National Socialists, all other Socialists, fascists, Greens, UN bureaucrats, all other bureaucrats, NGOs, mainstream media, global warming religionists, gun grabbers, third world dictators, Democrats, monopolists, market regulation manipulators, guilds, big government Republicans, race hustlers, academia, unionists, Islamists, feminists and other state-power aficionados.

      You’ll be in a very large and powerful company. If you play it right you may be able to force Steve Goddard to lay off global warming and build a trilobite exhibit at Colorado State instead.
