   Not all scientists, just political hack ones.

   Here is the water level for the Great Salt Lake over the last 165 years.

   Do you see that strong correlation with CO2 levels? Me neither.

   Lake Tulare in California was the biggest freshwater lake in the US not counting the Great Lakes. Bigger than Lake Champlain.

   Between 1850 and 1910 it lost 100% of its volume. Yes, I said 100%

   Google THAT one.

     Ulysses Grant’s and Teddy Roosevelt’s horses caused this.

   But Svalgaard says that is simply not true.

     L.S. works for Stanford Univ, home of John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar.s co-author, Paul Ehrlich.

     He is also a prominent ecologist and demographer. Ehrlich is best known for his dire warnings about population growth[4] and limited resources. Ehrlich became well-known after publication of his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb.[5][6] In years since, some of his predictions have developed in less alarming ways than originally forecast…

     . He stands by his general thesis that the human population is too large and is a direct threat to human survival and the environment of the planet.

     From a couple years ago Dr. Judith Curry’s comments: http://judithcurry.com/2012/02/09/aq/

     My opinion (SWAG) is L.S. has an agenda that coincides with that of the UN.

       A “solar expert” should know something about photons, especially as applied to solar flux. But, not at WUWT….

       When I first visited WUWT, he and Robert Bateman talked like the Mayan Indians knew something special with the calendar. Surprised
       LS does believe in changes in the conditions of the stratosphere, but not a solar-volcanic link. Personally, I think there is a bit of a link, but that’s not all there is to it… Cosmic dust… it might not stay in the stratosphere quite as long as volcanic, but put increases of the two together. Or decreases of the two together can explain warmings.

       But then, 2012 was hot, now it’s not. The planet’s air conditioning system is now cooling down. Overall the net energy of the oceans is now down. The Antarctic is freezing over at a record rate. The Arctic is not warming and melting. More ice covering oceans is less energy getting in. No extra energy in the deep oceans. Hmmm

       Then there could have been a change in how Earth orbited the sun during the LIA. I’m not a big fan, but it is a possibility.

   Ah, the good old days in the ’50s – when the birds were merely frightened.

   Now they’re chopped to bits, mauled and maimed midair by wind turbines and incinerated by solar. All to save the planet doncha know…
