Real Climate Science

A few years ago, prominent skeptics signed up for a temperature data project called “Berkeley Earth” – which was headed up by a Berkeley professor (Richard Muller) who told them he was a skeptic and wanted to prove the NASA temperature record was bogus. They didn’t bother to check his past writing, and didn’t listen to the advice of other skeptics on the matter.

Muller was never a skeptic, and his intent was the exact opposite of what he claimed.

Let me be clear. My own reading of the literature and study of paleoclimate suggests strongly that carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate. I would love to believe that the results of Mann et al. are correct, and that the last few years have been the warmest in a millennium.

“It is ironic if some people treat me as a traitor, since I was never a skeptic”

Richard Muller, Climate Researcher, Navigates The Volatile Line Between Science And Skepticism

Not surprisingly, the project was a disaster for skeptics, and became a big coup for alarmists.

Now we have a new project to test the validity of global temperature adjustments. My expectation is the project will focus on a few stations sitting near an air conditioner and a few stations which have been manipulated to show warming – then Gavin will pull out  few that show the opposite, and the project will backfire and prove nothing.

I have accumulated massive amounts of evidence that the data set taken as a whole is bogus, based on many different lines of analysis. I have established lines of thinking showing that the NASA global and US temperature graphs can’t possibly be correct. I have established lines of argument which Gavin and Tom won’t be able to counter. Focusing on individual stations is a recipe for disaster.

Skeptics need to decide if they want to get serious about ending this data fraud, or if they just want to play in the alarmist sandbox again, pretend they are doing something useful for a few weeks, keep their alarmist buddies happy, and then have a great opportunity go up in smoke again.

In order to end this scam, skeptics need to be clever – for a change.

I rode my super-stealth low-CO2 vehicle to the Rawhide coal death power plant, up near the Wyoming border. (I didn’t dare get any closer for fear of contracting asthma.)

This plant spews nocturnal CO2 emissions directly into the bosom of Gaia, 365 nights a year.

Gaia angrily reacts to this violation of her personal space, by producing extra amounts of organic produce.

And the impact on the local wildlife is devastating.

Stay tuned. Next week’s story is about frackers drilling Gaia. She really hates that.

Climate experts tell us that Greenland is melting down and we are all going to drown in a great flood caused by our carbon sins and greed

National Geographic cites: “A recent study says we can expect the oceans to rise between 2.5 and 6.5 feet by 2100, enough to swamp many of the cities along the U.S. East Coast. More dire estimates, including a complete meltdown of the Greenland ice sheet, push sea level rise to 23 feet, enough to submerge London.”

Meanwhile scientists in Greenland have nearly disappeared under the 10,000 foot thick snow and ice, with temperatures 59 degrees below freezing.

The good news is that John Kerry has already stopped bad weather and sea level rise.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry took the helm of the Arctic Council on Friday on behalf of the United States

Kerry promised to make the battle against climate change the first priority of the two-year U.S. stewardship of the council

Preventing catastrophic weather events and rising sea levels “is not a future challenge; this is happening right now,” Kerry told the gathering at Iqaluit on Canada’s Baffin Island.

Kerry and Obama ended the bad weather, by having exactly zero impact on global CO2 emissions over the past six years.

The Guardian appears to have passed a tipping point. Look what they censored now.

Gaia is simply not cooperating with the global warming scam.

The claimed melt areas of Antarctica (Larsen, WAIS) have excess sea  ice, indicating the water and air is persistently colder than normal and near or below the freezing point.

Atmospheric temperatures are below what 97% of climate models predicted. Global warming theory is based on atmospheric temperatures.

Climate alarmists are lying about nearly every single talking point. Almost none of the things they predicted have come true, and they have instead resorted to data tampering, outright lying, intimidation, censorship, and worse.

Eight degrees warming by 2030. Earth to drown.  Identical crap as 1986. Only difference is that the world was actually warming in 1986.

Published: June 15, 1986

The world’s warming trend is still imperfectly understood, but scientists generally agree that the 100-year forecast is worsening. The Senate Environmental Pollution subcommittee last week listened to experts on the ”greenhouse effect,” the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, that slows the escape of heat from the earth’s surface. Their principal conclusion: its impact will show up sooner than previously expected, perhaps within a decade. The most pessimistic projections envision a rise in global temperatures by as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2030’s.

Witnesses spoke of changing climates and ecosystems, rising seas and eroding shorelines. But some, notably those representing the Reagan Administration, cautioned that many unanswered questions remain.

Progressive politicians pretend that they haven’t heard about the thousands of black people shot and murdered in Chicago by other blacks under Obama’s watch.

Because political opportunities matter

President Obama just agreed to let China increase their CO2 emissions until the year 2030, which will put them at 500% of US levels.

If whatever he is doing was based on concern about CO2 and climate, he obviously would not have agreed to that.
