By switching from global warming to “climate change” they now blame every weather event on humans, and lack of action by politicians.
This provides a mechanism to blackmail politicians. Any weather event like Hurricane Sandy or a hot summer in Australia is now used to pummel local politicians, few of which have the knowledge or integrity to withstand the pressure.
That is why a knowledge of climate history is so important, and why I have devoted thousands of hours to studying it. Politicians need to be aware of and be able to cite specific weather events from the past, in order to counter the the endless claims of climate change and unprecedented weather.
The world is following the same path of ignorance as in the 16th century, when 30,000 people were burned at the stake for “cooking the weather.”
Yea, the trick with the Capitol Building in August just did not reach enough people.
July – I do not know why I wrote August.

Thanks for the video, Robertv.
Alarmist are losing the debate, and are now as dangerous as a cornered animal.
Did Kerry really call Roy Spencer and John Christy “flat earthers”?
Yes! .. One of the articles about it is here :-

Thanks, but I didn’t hear any specific reference to Roy Spencer and John Christy in Kerry’s speech.
I did notice that he seems to think the all of the CO2 is in a layer in the atmosphere about half an inch thick!
Now they outright encourage their minions to LYE!
A new peer-reviewed paper published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, titled “Information Manipulation and Climate Agreements”, is openly providing a “rationale” for global warming proponents to engage in mendacious claims in order to further their cause.
The paper appears to support or provide a formula for why lying or “information manipulation” is able to further the cause of man-made global warming and “enhance global welfare.” The authors use a mathematical formula to study information tactics.
The authors, Assistant Professors of Economics Fuhai Hong and Xiaojian Zhao, note how the media and environmental groups “exaggerate” global warming and then the offer their paper to “provide a rationale for this tendency” to exaggerate for the good of the cause.
The paper was published on February 24, 2014.

“The Boy who cried wolf” would be PHD material to educate those boys.
The most ridiculous aspect is the “solutions” are the same whether it is global warming or climate change, or just a day of the week ending in ‘y’. Tax energy sources, rich people, rich nations, everyone, and give money to certain other people.
“Carbon credits will replace the US dollar as the currency of international trading by 2015, according to a forecast made by Archial Sustainable Futures”

Somebody forgot to tell the rest of us. The carbon market is in pretty dire straits.
I realized that article is from 2010. What is the latest and is the UN still pushing this idea?

Whenever they talk about climate change, I ask them how they scientifically measure change? Is there some sort of volatility index I can watch?
It is no doubt like the “terror” index (remember that?) post-911; just imagine it as stuck on ORANGE — an elevated risk of imminent world doom (and throw in a scream and a gasp to seal the deal).
As their house of cards made from the Hockey Schtick graph, faked ice core data, phony data reduction software and “hiding the decline” run up against the reality of NO WARMING in 18 years, they will become more and more irrational and unbalanced, making them dangerous if they can capture the attention of Low Information Voters….
Alarmists are unable to defeat precise experimental evidence of reality:

They therefore appeal to emotions of Low Information Voters. Stalin was a master at this.
The other effective strategy they’ve used is the climate Illuminati never show you their utopia, they only tear down the present.
We don’t get to see the 1 million new wind turbines. That children won’t know what Eagles are when they get those up. The health effects of low frequency noise. Etc.
It’s worked for Lenin, and Mao, and Minh, and Castro, and Chavez…
We need to start a climate utopia list. Their world in today’s terms.
Even absent of cost, their world is a dark (literally) place.
Yes, every time there is a weather event, we skeptics are put on the defensive, like it is our fault or whatever. But then you check the records and usually these tornadoes, floods, typhoons, etc. they cite end up being historically routine.
“Politicians need to be aware of and be able to cite specific weather events from the past, in order to counter the the endless claims of climate change and unprecedented weather.
Steve what you do here is largely an education service, and in your own informal way offer the evidence from the past to illuminate the present. In doing so you highlight both the lack of rigor in science, and foolishness of some political action.
You certainly show how climate study (and meteorology) has moved away from the in depth study of historic events, patterns, cycles that were prevalent in the days of H. H.Lamb.
How apt the words from the preface of his book Climate, History and The Modern World are for today –
Reblogged this on Climatism.
“… In the years since about 1960, moreover, the climate has behaved less obligingly than we had become used to earlier in the century. ” H. H. Lamb
I’m no climate scientist, but that statement sounds nuts.
