Real Climate Science

Huddersfield through 8-7 on penalties – after the Sheffield goalkeeper finds himself standing on the wrong side of the ball.

Hansen said recently that weather disasters used to affect only 1% of the planet.

Speaking at a conference on the changing atmosphere, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney of Canada proposed a global ”law of the air,” and Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland of Norway called for a treaty to stabilize the earth’s atmosphere and prevent further degradation.

The approach is simple, and has been tested over and over again throughout history.

If you can convince a significant segment of the population that there is evil which threatens their existence, you can get them to engage in almost any atrocity.

The particular evil is irrelevant. Hitler convinced many people in Germany that Jews were evil, and threatened their existence. Hansen has convinced many people that CO2 and climate deniers are evil, and threaten their existence. The same story has repeated itself over and over again – Infidels, Muslims, Hindus, witches, blacks, whites, alcohol, Chinese, Japanese, immigrants … etc.

History is full of atrocities committed by imbeciles – who were motivated by irrational fear and believed that they were doing something good.

Satellites have been very naughty during the latter half of their careers. They just can’t find any global warming.

Dr. J. (Hansen) is undaunted by actual data, and has ramped up his fabrication of temperatures in the Arctic – to keep GISS diverging from satellites at a rate of more than one degree per century.

Hansen and Barack are getting together to write a new book – Nightmares from my grandfather. 

A favorite metric of climate scum like Joe Romm, is that “billion dollar disasters” are on the rise.

The are 2.5 times as many houses along the Gulf Coast as there were in 1960, and the average price of homes has increased by almost 10X. These two factors alone cause Gulf Coast weather disasters to be 2500% more expensive than they were in 1960.

Given the failure of the prophesies about Manhattan drowning, ice caps melting, and temperatures rising, the church has come to rely on a select group of people who feel unbounded by history – and are willing to rewrite historical data to suit the needs of the church.

These brave and unselfish souls deserve recognition!

Nominee #1 NASA. Got rid of that nasty US cooling trend.

Nominee #2 NASA. Got rid of that nasty Northern Hemisphere cooling trend.

Nominee #3 Team Sea Level. Tripled sea level rise overnight.

Nominee #4 Michael Mann. Erased the Medieval Warm Period

Nominee #5 Phil Jones. Determined that the 1860s were cold, without any data for 90% of the planet.

Nominee #6 The Whole Team. They determined that extreme weather is increasing, without actually looking at any historical data.

In their open letter to the Prime Minister in April, 61 of the world’s leading experts modestly expressed their understanding of the science: “The study of global climate change is an ’emerging science,’ one that is perhaps the most complex ever tackled. It may be many years yet before we properly understand the Earth’s climate system.” It seems that liberal arts graduate Al Gore, political champion of the Kyoto Protocol, thinks he knows better.

Institut Pasteur (Paris) Professor Paul Reiter seemed to sum up the sentiments of many experts when he labelled the film “pure, mind-bending propaganda.” Such reactions should certainly cause Canadians to wonder if Nobel Prize-winning French novelist Andre Gide had a point when he advised, “Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.”

“I can assure Mr. Gore that no one from the South Pacific islands has fled to New Zealand because of rising seas. In fact, if Gore consults the data, he will see it shows sea level falling in some parts of the Pacific.” — Dr. Chris de Freitas, climate scientist, associate professor, University of Auckland, N.Z.

At island retreat, Branson and friends seek to save a world ‘on fire‘

By Andrew Ross Sorkin Published: Thursday, March 20, 2008

British Virgin Islands — Richard Branson was lounging under the starry midnight sky on this palm-dappled speck of an island recently when he popped a sobering question.

“So, do we really think the world is on fire?” Branson, the British magnate and adventurer, asked several guests, as a manservant scurried off to fetch him another glass of pinot grigio.

What he wanted to know was whether his high-powered visitors, among them Larry Page of Google, Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia and Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, thought global warming threatened the planet.

Branson does – and so did most of his guests. So on this recent weekend on his private hideaway in the crystalline waters between the islands of Tortola and Anegada, they tried to figure out what to do about it and perhaps get richer in the process.

If you wanted to get someone to kill themself, an effective way to do it would be to put an idea in their head that something they need for survival is very bad for them. For example, the belief that food was bad killed Karen Carpenter.

Al Gore, James Hansen and a few others are leading an effort to convince people that something else they need for survival – i.e. affordable energy – is very bad for them. If this form of mass mental illness is not stopped, it will eventually have very severe impacts on societal health.

I have to wonder what the real CO2 agenda is, because it has nothing to do with climate or weather.
