Learning To Think Like A Progressive

A progressive is someone who can have all the facts right in front of him, and draw a completely irrational conclusion – which is the exact opposite of what the data is telling him.

Mike chose a “Native American” to exercise his progressive guilt. People who lost control of their land, 90% of them died, and the rest ended up living on crappy Indian reservations. The ultimate lesson in what happens when people are unwilling or unable to protect their borders from uncontrolled immigration.

So Mike concludes that we need to continue massive uncontrolled immigration into the US

A Trivial Proof That Mann-Made Global Warming Has Had No Impact On Sea Level

This proof is so simple, that even a climate scientist couldn’t understand it.

Sea level at Manhattan has been rising at a steady rate since the start of records in the 1850’s. The rate of rise has not accelerated or decelerated over the past 160 years. Experts blame it on melting glaciers.

The hockey stick doesn’t start until 1910, yet the sea level rise rate was essentially identical before and after the hockey stick. This tells us that there is no correlation between GISS temperatures and sea level. One station is adequate for this analysis, because melting glaciers would raise sea level more or less equally at all locations.

The graph below plots Manhattan sea level rise rates (9 year slope) vs. GISS  5 year mean global temperature anomaly. Again, there is no correlation between sea level rise rates and GISS temperatures. The fastest decline in sea level occurred near the highest temperature anomaly.

The next trend line is the second derivative of sea level at Manhattan. If there was acceleration occurring, there would be an upwards curvature. There isn’t any acceleration occurring.

You may ask how it is possible that sea level rise rates haven’t changed as the planet has warmed according to Hansen.  There are two simple answers :

  1. Almost all of the apparent rise in sea level is due to land subsidence, not sea level rise. The rate of rise on the East Coast is at least 10X higher than on the West Coast – because the land isn’t sinking on the West Coast. The President apparently believes that a carbon tax can stop subsidence.
  2. The GISS temperature graph is nonsense. The 1940’s were just as warm as the warmest recent years

Fifty Years Since This Brilliant Speech By A Reformed Former California Democrat

1964

If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.

This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I’d like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There’s only an up or down—[up] man’s old—old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

Growth In Sea Ice Over The Past 90 Years

In 1922, you could sail north of 81N in ice-free water

There was no sea ice on the North Coast of Spitsbergen in 1922, even during winter. This year that region is still frozen over.

Experts say that the Arctic is disappearing due to CO2, because they are completely incompetent and have no idea what they are talking about.

US Forest Fires Near Historic Lows

Outside of the West Coast, there is very little forest fire activity in the US this year. Burn acreage is much less than half of normal.

Progress At NASA Over The Past 45 Years

Forty-five years ago NASA could send people to the moon. They can’t do that any more, but they can generate fraudulent climate data much faster than previous generations could have ever dreamed of.
