   Sigh……. back to the Himalayan mountains? Geez, climate alarmism is reduced to the equivalent of sequels of bad movies.

   Coming soon to a science journal near you! Escape of the Arctic Ice part XXIV!!!!

   On a not entirely off topic discussion, John Christy hammers alarmists in his written testimony to congress……..

   “The non-falsifiable hypotheses works this way, “whatever happens is consistent with my hypothesis.” In other words, there is no event that would “falsify” the hypothesis. As such, these assertions cannot be considered science or in anyway informative since the hypothesis’ fundamental prediction is “anything may happen.” In the example above if winters become milder or they become snowier, the hypothesis stands. This is not science. As noted above, there are innumerable types of events that can be defined as extreme events – so for the enterprising individual (unencumbered by the scientific method), weather statistics can supply an almost unlimited set of targets in which to discover a “useful” extreme event.”

   Just scroll through the pictures from haze, dust, smoke, fires and volcanic eruptions at the following pages and tell me how much is man made?

   It’s time the IPCC is shut up and down.

   We are fed up with their hog wash science and scare mongering.
