Real Climate Science

The global warming/green energy scams have been going on for more than a century.

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

This came the year after the New York Times announced two giant new canals on Mars and five years after the New York Times announced that Martians are superior.

It came one year after the US government and the New York Times said we were about to run out of coal and wood and would be running 100% wind power.

The woman in the picture is complaining about fossil fuels keeping her warm during the winter. These people might have a different opinion.

In 1911, the US government and New York Times said we were about to run out of coal, and wind power could people warm during “even the deadliest cold weather.”

Another discussion of how academic climate scientists don’t seem to understand the fundamentals of science.

They are shutting it down because the government blames earth tremors on gas production. The largest tremor was a 3.6 magnitude in 2012.

California had several earthquakes of similar magnitude in the last twelve hours.

The surface mass balance of Greenland is above average for the fifth year out of the last seven.

But DMI has this fake graph showing Greenland losing mass, based on gravity measurements.

They state that the gravity measurements measure changes in ice mass, which is not true.

“The GRACE satellites measure the total changes in ice mass”

The gravity measurements measure changes in gravity, not changes in ice. Changes in gravity are much more likely caused by changes in the crust and mantle underneath the ice than by the ice itself. No attempt is made to account for changes in the rocks below the ice.

“It should be noted that the changes in mass illustrated here have not been corrected for the changes in mass due to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment.”

During the last ice age, Canada was buried under miles of ice.  This pushed the crust down into the mantle under Canada and forced the crust upwards in surrounding regions like Greenland and the eastern US coast. Now that the glaciers are gone from Canada, the land is rebounding – causing Canada to rise and causing surrounding regions to sink. This 2010 paper hinted at why gravity measurements are useless for measuring ice.

“The Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps are melting at half the speed previously predicted”

“these results were not properly corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment, the phenomenon that the Earth’s crust rebounds as a result of the melting of the massive ice caps from the last major Ice Age around 20,000 years ago. These movements of the Earth’s crust have to be incorporated in the calculations, since these vertical movements change the Earth’s mass distribution and therefore also have an influence on the gravitational field.”

Al Gore has been widely dismissed as a buffoon, but he has been at the center of the global warming scam for the past 30 years.
