Three decades of what participants call a “climate agreement” have had no impact on the growth rate of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Hansen spurred controversy when he told a U.S. Senate committee during the hot, dry summer of 1988 that he was almost certain greenhouse warming already was under way. Other scientists said if that’s true, they can’t detect such warming since it is so small compared with temperature variations caused by changes in solar heat output and other natural factors.”

Twenty years ago the United Nations predicted doom for Kitzbuhel and Oberstdorf in 30-50 years.

“Low-lying slopes such as Kitzbuhel in Austria and Oberstdorf in Germany may receive so little snow over the next 30 to 50 years that skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing cease to be viable winter industries. The warning comes in a study by the University of Zurich for the United Nations Environment Programme.”

Global warming ‘could close half of Alpine ski resorts by 2050’

Those ski areas seem to be doing OK.

In 2004, The Guardian said The Hague would be abandoned by 2007.

“These are some of the key findings of the 2004 report commissioned by Pentagon defence adviser Andrew Marshall.

· Future wars will be fought over the issue of survival rather than religion, ideology or national honour.

· By 2007 violent storms smash coastal barriers rendering large parts of the Netherlands uninhabitable. Cities like The Hague are abandoned. In California the delta island levees in the Sacramento river area are breached, disrupting the aqueduct system transporting water from north to south.

· Between 2010 and 2020 Europe is hardest hit by climatic change with an average annual temperature drop of 6F. Climate in Britain becomes colder and drier as weather patterns begin to resemble Siberia.

· Deaths from war and famine run into the millions until the planet’s population is reduced by such an extent the Earth can cope.

· Riots and internal conflict tear apart India, South Africa and Indonesia.”

It appears that the Hague is still there.

Five years ago the Colorado governor said the state would be 100% renewable energy by 2040.

They are up to 7%.

“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”

• President Eisenhower  January 17, 1961

Academics who know nothing about delivering energy want to control energy policy.

“NEW YORK CITY’S HEAT ISLAND. Surface air temperatures elevated by at least 1°C have been observed in New York City for more than a century (Rosenthal et al. 2003; Gaffin et al. 2008), and the heat island signal, measured as the difference between the urban core and the surrounding rural surface air temperature readings taken at National Weather Service (NWS) stations, averages ~4°C on summer nights (Kirkpatrick and Shulman 1987; Gedzelman et al. 2003; Gaffin et al. 2008). The greatest temperature differences typically are sustained between midnight and 0500 Eastern Standard Time (EST; Gaffin et al.
2008).
Surface air temperature data from weather stations both in and around New York City were mapped to show the heat island at 0600 EST 14 August 2002, the early morning of what would become one of the
hottest heat-wave days that summer (Fig. 1). Within the city, the three NWS stations are located in Central Park, and at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports. To improve coverage of New York City, data were
obtained from the WeatherBug network of automated private stations (AWS; online at www.aws. com/aws_2005/default.asp).4 Surface air temperature readings from these stations show that the city was several degrees warmer than the suburbs, and up to 8°C warmer than rural areas within 100 km of the city, with conditions that had been sustained
throughout the previous night.”

“MOUNTAINOUS columns of powdered soil again smothered Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado, burying wheat fields, pastures, fences and farm machinery. At first there were 12 consecutive days of howling gales and blinding dust, and then a lull for three days, but to-

day a new storm blanketed the area, which has not yet recovered from the former desolation, when ten people lost their lives and property damages ran into millions of dollars. A ROARING MENACE The phenomenon has become a roaring menace to residents’ existence, and is rapidly erasing the slight means of subsistence they had salvaged from four successive years of extreme drought.”
