As the Emperor contemplates expanding his power through the use of the executive order as a tool to legislate without Congress, stunning news has emerged from the UK which the Emperor will ignore I’m sure. One aspect of his agenda which he has been unable to ram-rod through Congress and is now poised to use executive orders to carry out is his Cap and Trade plan. How he expects to use power that he doesn’t have to forward this job killing measure is beyond me but perhaps he should now actually listen to the so-called scientist that has caused the hysteria upon which his plans have been built.
Professor Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University is now saying that Global Warming hasn’t existed since 1995. But wait… didn’t they say that 2009 was the warmest year on record? How can that be if Global Warming hasn’t existed since 1995?!?
The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
I really really hate to say it but I guess I must -
I TOLD YOU SO!
Now – I have previously gone with information that supported the idea that global temperatures actually plateaued in 1997, but if the guy whose data was instrumental in the formation of the IPCC report says that actually happened 2 years EARLIER, who am I to counter that.
The fact is that the earth hasn’t been warming for the bulkANY of this hysteria based boondoggle. Al Gore’s movie ‘An Incomplete Deception Inconvenient Truth’, the docu-fiction upon which the hysteria about Global Warming was inflated to pandemic proportions, was released in 2006. According to Jones, Global Warming ceased in 1995. That was a full 11 years before Gore’s movie was released. The movie that he won the Nobel Peace Prize for incidentally.
Since then the propaganda film has been shown in just about every single public school and hyped at many churches. Legislation has been formulated around the claims cited in the movie and by the IPCC report which we now know was doctored to favor a predetermined conclusion. Data was withheld and conveniently lost. Substances have been banned and others are set to be banned based on information that was nothing more than a lie meant to further a political agenda.
I’ll wager anyone any amount that this information does not hit the evening news casts. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNoBodyCares will ignore this information as long as they can get away with. Why? To support Obamaramadingdong’s agenda.

For nearly 3 years, the die hards of the Church of Global WarmingClimate Change of Modern Day Idiots have been attempting to push the idea that the science proving man is the cause of global warming climate change (in their words) “is settled”. They nearly succeeded until…
Last November, and continuing as I write, evidence questioning the methods and practices of the so-called “scientists” behind this planetary hoax began to flood in. First it was the emails in excess of 60 MB that showed that the “scientists” conspired to discredit evidence contrary to their boondoggle, avoid peer-review of contradictory studies, and hide data from Freedom of Information Act (UK) requests. Ever since, we’ve been treated to evidence supporting theories that changes in global ocean currents and sunspot activity have a more direct impact on climate change than man’s measly 3% contribution to atmospheric CO2. The latest, however, is nearly the most damning: the IPCC’s use of an article from a magazine as evidence that Himalayan glaciers were melting and would all but disappear by 2035. As we all know now, that wasn’t based on any scientific study at all, but merely the speculation of another so-called “climate scientist” for an article published in the mountain climbers version of Runner’s World.
This past week, the findings of the Penn State internal investigation of Professor Michael Mann’s methods in developing the now discredited “hockey stick graph” (which supposedly proved man’s CO2 contributions were causing global warming) turn up no evidence of wrong doing. Wait a minute! No evidence of wrongdoing?!? The guy selectively counted tree rings in the development of his theoretical “graph”. That’s akin to reading tea leaves, relying on a rodent to tell you if winter is ending, and analyzing the bands on woolly bear caterpillars to predict the severity of an upcoming winter. I didn’t know reliance on folklore was considered “scientific” these days. What’s next? Tarot Cards? Ouija Boards? What gets me is the willingness of those who believe this tripe to accept these faith based predictions but yet these are the same people who reject GOD and religion as superstition.
All this aside, today I read an article in the London Times (online version) titled, “I thought of killing myself, says climate scandal professor Phil Jones”. In the event you’ve been living under a rock and do not know who Phil Jones is, he’s the egghead in charge of the East Anglia University Climate Research Unit – you know, the source of all those damning emails. He told the Times that he thought of killing himself over the controversy. Remember, the IPCC relied heavily on the findings of the East Anglia CRU in determining their findings. They also relied on data from the WWF which was word for word from the above mentioned magazine concerning the impending fate of the Himalayan glaciers (the article that originated from a mountain climbing magazine – not any scientific study or journal).
For years, the WWF, High Priest Al Gore, and others have been pushing the idea that arctic sea ice has been decreasing and as a result, polar bears are in danger of extinction because their hunting grounds are disappearing. We now know that arctic sea ice is NOT decreasing. Summer sea ice has actually expanded by 409,000 square miles AND polar bear populations have actually increased since 1979. Will Noah Wiley now please SHUT UP ?!?(I’m personally a little sick of his propaganda based panhandling)
The world has begun to pass legislation imposing financial penalties onto businesses, and in some cases individuals, which violate arbitrary CO2 limits based on the findings of the IPCC report which anyone can now realize is a hugely flawed document. The science is NOT settled and it isn’t even close to being settled. Before the nations of the world begin to craft legislation which destroys the global economy, the controversy should be truly settled and fully understood. Not some half-assed guessing and slapping together of arbitrary numbers that make up limits, percentages, etc. without regard to cost. These people making these chicken little predictions about the world’s climate are the same morons who attempt to predict our weather. They can’t be accurate 5 days in the future, but you are willing to take their word about 100-year predictions?!? If you do, you are an imbecile; a non-thinking sheep of a person willing to buy whatever bill of goods presented to you and unwilling to listen to reason.
Before we have a massive shift in our sources of energy that are inefficient, unreliable, and massively expensive, we should make absolutely certain of the evidence that man is in fact causing climate change. As long as there is one skeptic, the science cannot be deemed as “settled”. Claiming so only proves that it isn’t.
We’ve already allowed them to ban incandescent light bulbs based on this hoax and the US was on the verge of passing a massively destructive Cap and Tax bill. Obama was willing to sacrifice US sovereignty and sign on to a global agreement in Copenhagen that would permit the building of a global governmental authority with the power to tax nations who violate the arbitrary CO2 emissions standards of the agreement. He was willing to become subservient to an agreement as the world’s worst polluters remain unbound by the same agreement. This is unacceptable.
As we’ve seen this week, winter has made its presence known again with more than 2 feet of snow in the nation’s capital (a record if you are keeping score over there at East Anglia University). This wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. With all this evidence to the contrary, how can ANYONE still believe the science is “settled”?!? Those making money by blaming man still say it’s “settled,” but poll numbers show that the people do not. THIS is the decline of the Church of Global WarmingClimate Change of Modern Day Idiots. It’s about time.
After a short absence, I return to blogging with a doozy that I’ve been sitting on. During my time away I learned of the hacked emails released on the net exposing the “scientific” reports upon which the IPCC reports on man-made global warming as a massive conspiracy to commit fraud on a global scale. What a treasure trove of information for all of us who have been saying all along that the AGW claims of the MDI* were nothing short of bovine excrement (and smell worse).
I titled this post “Something Is Rotten In Denmark” not because of the massive amount of BS that has been dumped on the world over the last decade, but rather to illustrate what is about to happen in Copenhagen, Denmark in just a few short days.
The Emperor has decreed that he will make a cameo at the MDI* conference where a treaty is being negotiated that is meant to replace the expiring Kyoto agreement. Make no mistake, the conference will produce a treaty that the Obama Infestation will sign-on with in spite of the fact that it hasn’t a prayer in the world of being ratified in the US Senate. Don’t forget, Kyoto was agreed upon during the Clintonian Infestation (1997) and never came to a vote in the Senate.
Leaked were thousands of emails compiling 61 megabytes of data exposing a massive efforts to alter collected data on climate change to fit a predetermined outcome. “The earth is warming and man is responsible. So now we must bankrupt the world in a futile effort to reverse this trend.”
One such email discussed discrediting a couple of papers which didn’t conform to the predetermined outcome. The solution? Redefine what constituted a peer-review.
“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”
So much for trusting peer-review Mr. Ed Begley Jr.
Another email actually requested the destruction of emails.
“Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4?”
Another explains why.
“I’m getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU temperature station data. Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act!”
These so-called “scientists” couldn’t risk the actual data being exposed. Because they cannot admit a truth that “inconveniently” doesn’t fit their predetermined outcome and shows their computer models to be fraudulent.
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty we can’t.”
Should this data be confirmed in the established “climate change” scientific community, it would destroy all that they’ve worked for and expose them for the frauds that they are. Heaven forbid they would have to admit that climate change is cyclical and man’s impact on the environment is actually insignificant. No, instead, they have to artificially keep their cash cow producing by hiding the truth.
“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
The agency at the center of the controversy raised by the leak of these hacked emails is the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU).
Given star billing by the IPCC, not least for the way it appeared to eliminate the long-accepted Mediaeval Warm Period when temperatures were higher they are today, the graph became the central icon of the entire man-made global warming movement.
Since 2003, however, when the statistical methods used to create the “hockey stick” were first exposed as fundamentally flawed by an expert Canadian statistician Steve McIntyre , an increasingly heated battle has been raging between Mann’s supporters, calling themselves “the Hockey Team”, and McIntyre and his own allies, as they have ever more devastatingly called into question the entire statistical basis on which the IPCC and CRU construct their case.
The senders and recipients of the leaked CRU emails constitute a cast list of the IPCC’s scientific elite, including not just the “Hockey Team”, such as Dr Mann himself, Dr Jones and his CRU colleague Keith Briffa, but Ben Santer, responsible for a highly controversial rewriting of key passages in the IPCC’s 1995 report; Kevin Trenberth, who similarly controversially pushed the IPCC into scaremongering over hurricane activity; and Gavin Schmidt, right-hand man to Al Gore’s ally Dr James Hansen, whose own GISS record of surface temperature data is second in importance only to that of the CRU itself.
There are three threads in particular in the leaked documents which have sent a shock wave through informed observers across the world. Perhaps the most obvious, as lucidly put together by Willis Eschenbach, is the highly disturbing series of emails which show how Dr Jones and his colleagues have for years been discussing the devious tactics whereby they could avoid releasing their data to outsiders under freedom of information laws.[1]
None of us who have been consistently skeptical of the AGW claims actually deny that the earth was warming. Quite the contrary. We acknowledge that the earth’s climate is constantly changing (both warming and cooling) and those changes are largely to do with a variety of factors including sunspot activity and ocean currents. Both of which when combined can cause drastic changes in global temperatures.
Solar activity, in particular sunspots, had been increasing for an extended period but suddenly plateaued around – and this is a shock – 1997. Sunspots have been nearly non-existent over the past 2 years. Isn’t that interesting? Sunspot activity has decreased over the past 2 years and global temperatures have fallen over that same period? Couldn’t be. The science was settled remember? Man causes global warming with our SUV’s, air travel, heating and cooling our homes, and eating meat.
The fact that the earth’s temperatures have fallen during the same period that sunspot activity has decreased to almost no sunspot activity at all can only be explained as coincidence when we all know it is carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Right? Well – not exactly.
CO2 will likely continue to increase no matter what the temperature does. CO2 is a naturally occurring gas on this planet. It is necessary for plants to grow. And in spite of what is commonly known about CO2, it does more than make cola fizzy. It actually causes man to breath. You read that right.
It is the CO2 build-up in our lungs that causes us to exhale. Once we exhale, our bodies’ need for oxygen sparks us to inhale and the process starts all over. (Attention DRONES, this information comes from a Pulmonologist who treats my daughter at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center – I think I have this one).
Sounds to me that the science of global climate change isn’t as settled as once previously pronounced. But yet the eggheads and political hacks gathering in Copenhagen this month with the unapologetic goal of thrusting the world economy into a MEGA DEPRESSION ignore the obvious as they push an agenda based on fraud and the guilt produced by said fraud.
Unlike the drama of Hamlet, the stench emanating from Denmark this December is very real and very deadly. Global bankruptcy has no bailout mechanism. Homelessness, hunger, disease, and death are all products of depressive economies. How can the world survive a global MEGA DEPRESSION?!?
Note: The above un-sourced email citations were widely published over a week and a half prior to this post.
Junk Science is reporting that the emails were NOT hacked as previously reported in this post and elsewhere about the web. Instead they have it explained this way on their site…
It has become fairly obvious this archive was not “hacked” or “stolen” but rather is a file assembled by CRU staff in preparation for complying with a freedom of information request. Whether it was carelessly left in a publicly accessible portion of the CRU computer system or was “leaked” by staff believing the FOIA request was improperly rejected may never be known but is not really that important. What is important is that:
There was no “security breach” at CRU that “stole” these files
The files appear genuine and to have been prepared by CRU staff, not edited by malicious hackers
The information was accidentally or deliberately released by CRU staff
Selection criteria appears to be compliance with an or several FOIA request(s)
A new study on the hindering effects of decreasing air pollution may be the scientific evidence needed to short circuit POTUS Obamaramadingdong’s efforts to further stymie US companies and make MORE people dependent upon his Socialist government.
Cleaning up skies choked with smog and soot would sharply curtail the capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide and blunt global warming, according to a study released on Wednesday.
Plant life — especially tropical forests — soak up a quarter of all the CO2 humans spew into the atmosphere, and thus plays a critical role in keeping climate change in check.
Through photosynthesis, vegetation transforms sunlight, CO2 and water into sugar nutrients.
Common sense would suggest that air pollution in the form of microscopic particles that obstruct the Sun’s rays — a phenomenon called “global dimming” — would hamper this process, but the new study shows the opposite is true.
“Surprisingly, the effects of atmospheric pollution seem to have enhanced global plant productivity by as much as a quarter from 1960 to 1999,” said Linda Mercado, a researcher at the Met Office Hadley Centre in Britain, and the study’s lead author.
“This resulted in a net ten percent increase in the amount of carbon stored by the land,” she said in a statement.
Wow – if I read this correctly it seems to me that the rapid warming of the earth in recent decades could possibly be the result of clean air legislation and pollution limitations placed on industry. Interesting… Or it would be if I actually believed that CO2 had anything to do with global warming – which I don’t.
The whole argument made by imbeciles like the POTUS is moot because global warming – when it was occuring, which it isn’t now – is cause by that big yellow ball in the day sky. It’s called THE SUN YOU TWITS!!!!
Follow the common sense logic as I AGAIN try to explain it to you.
The earth is 90% water. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down the water molecules and create ozone and – wait for it – WATER VAPOR. Water vapor my friends is THE MOST ABUNDANT GREENHOUSE GAS IN THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE. It is water vapor which caused global warming.
NOW – the earth hasn’t warmed since 1998 if you believe the real data that has been collected and it actually has been cooling for 2 years. Isn’t it interesting that sunspot activity over the past 2 years has been decreasing? Decreasing to a point of almost non-existent activity in 2008 as-a-matter-of-fact.
That said however, you have the greenies of the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots led by that hypocrite Al Gore and his brainless protege’ Barry Obamaramadingdong running around like a bunch of Chicken Little offspring cackling about reducing CO2 with this massively expensive ‘Cap and Trade’ bull during a recession yet their efforts will do NOTHING to curtail climate change but WILL FURTHER DESTROY what’s left of our economy. This Global Warming BS – or climate change (or whatever the new fashionable term is this week) – is nothing more than a manufactured crisis meant to be used as a tool to destroy capitalist based economies and bring about world wide socialism which is the goal of every Marx loving liberal in the world.
So if you want to bring about the United Socialist States of Amerika and fashion our country after a failed economic system, go right on buying those compact florescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, and supporting ‘Cap and Trade’ legislation. But remember one thing as you are standing in that bread line in a few years… I TOLD YOU SO!
Amidst the liberal lovefest coverage emerges a story that is getting moderate play from the Farmer’s Almanac that is tying in to news from the Midwest indicating that the fear mongering MDI* may be full of nothing but hot air themselves.
People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers’ Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.
“Numb’s the word,” says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.
The almanac’s 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.
“This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people,” said almanac editor Peter Geiger.
The almanac predicts above-normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said.
The Farmer’s Almanac has a longterm forecast accuracy of 85%. How many 5-day forecast whores have 85% accuracy? The short answer is NONE! And they are the same pinheads pushing this global warming BS.
Tying into that story is another from the Midwest as early as… YESTERDAY!
Here’s some news you probably hoped you wouldn’t hear for another four months.
The National Weather Service says areas of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin could see patchy frost this weekend. That’s right, patchy frost in August.emphasis mine
The weather agency says clear skies could allow temperatures to dip into the low to mid-30s late tonight into early Monday.
The FoxNews/AP story goes on to predict warmer than normal temps in the South for next summer and the frost story blames an “unusual cold-air mass from Canada” but we all know where this is actually coming from – decreased sunspot activity.
An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.
Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera warned first of a short-term cooling period followed by re-warming lasting a few years. This he warns will be followed by a period of decreased sunspot activity lasting 60-80 years. This 60-80 year Minimal period will be similar to the ‘Little Ice Age’.
So my question to all those members of the MDI* gathered at the Jackass Convention in Denver this week is this… What happened to anthropological global warming?
In the interest of accuracy, I do believe that global warming exists. But I, and it seems that I’m not the only one, believe that it is a natural phenomenon that is tied to solar activity NOT the asinine premise that it is caused man’s use of fossil fuels. The people who believe in that load of bovine excrement are card-carrying members of the MDI*
Look out High Priest Al Gore and all you unthinking drones of the MDI* but it seems that the earth may be entering a “little ice age” and it will be decreased solar activity that will be the cause. Or so says a Mexican scientist in a recent article on the website Milenio.
An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.
Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the UNAM, as argued earlier during a conference that teaches at the Centre for Applied Sciences and Technological Development.
In the event, the specialist in remote sensing systems said that the recent rupture of the Argentine Perito Moreno glacier, unusual for having produced a full austral winter, was not due to global warming.
The event was due, he said, a natural process caused by temperature and precipitation of the river.
Hmmm… That makes me wonder what could be causing the fabled retreating of other glaciers around the planet. Could it possibly be warmer waters carried by the natural currents in the world’s oceans melting coastal ice from the glaciers? And could it possibly be due to increased solar activity that the waters are warmer? Seems plausible to me.
Have you ever wondered, is the ice really retreating or is it just a perception created by photo journalists who record footage during the summer months and the melting is normal seasonal melting? Like the now famous footage of a polar bear and her cub clinging to an ice flow. All I’m asking is – IS IT POSSIBLE. They never seem to take pictures during the winter season in the Arctic.
Velasco Herrera described as erroneous predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), pursuant to which the planet is experiencing a gradual increase in temperature, the so-called global warming.
The models and forecasts of the IPCC “is incorrect because only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity,” said the specialist also in image processing and signs and prevention of natural disasters.
The phenomenon of climate change, he added, should include other kinds of factors, both internal, such as volcanoes and the very human activity, and external, such as solar activity. – emphasis mine
Doesn’t it seem like I’ve been saying that very thing for the past 2 – count ‘em 2 – years?!?
A new film countering the hysteria being parroted by High Priest Al Gore and his minions in the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots* has been produced and will soon be in theaters. YOU have a chance be a part of this historic film and help save our economy.
Visit Not Evil Just Wrong for details on how YOU can help bring this important film to theaters.
You read that right, a leftist newspaper is publicly acknowledging flaws in the global warming scam.
August is the wettest and often the muggiest month of the year. Yet, summer heat continues in short supply, continuing a trend that has dominated much of the 21st Century’s opening decade. There have been only 162 days 90 degrees or warmer at Midway Airport over the period from 2000 to 2008. That’s by far the fewest 90-degree temperatures in the opening nine years of any decade on record here since 1930.
This summer’s highest reading to date has been just 91 degrees. That’s unusual. Since 1928, only one year—2000—has failed to record a higher warm-season temperature by Aug. 13. SOURCE
Where are the rising ocean levels? What about those drowning polar bears? Chicago actually cooler now – what a serious blow to those warning of a 4 degree (Celsius) rise in global temps.
Earth Likely to Warm 4-7 Degrees by 2100
BOULDER – There’s a nine out of ten chance that global average temperatures will rise 3-9 degrees Fahrenheit over the coming century, with a 4-7 degree increase most likely, according to a new probability analysis by scientists in the United States and England. The most likely projected increase is five times the one-degree temperature rise observed over the past century. As early as 2030 the planet is likely to heat up 1-2 degree, say the scientists. The study appears in the July 20 issue of the journal Science.
“We are assigning probabilities to long-term projections to aid policy makers in assessing the risks that might accompany various courses of action or nonaction,” says first author Tom Wigley of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). “If all scenarios are believed to be equally likely, it’s difficult to plan.” NCAR’s primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation.
An estimated global warming range of 2.5-10.4 degree F was announced earlier this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), composed of hundreds of scientists around the world. But the likelihood that the earth’s temperature would warm only 2.5 degree or as much as 10.4 degree is very low, say NCAR’s Wigley and coauthor Sarah Raper of the University of East Anglia in England and the Alfred Wegener Institut for Polar and Marine Research in Germany.
Even warming of 4-7 degree F, however, is very large compared with the observed warming over the past century, they write. “Whether or not such rapid warming will occur . . . depends on actions taken to control climate change,” they continue. In arriving at their estimates, the scientists assumed that no policies would be implemented to curb climate change before 2100.
If a rapid warming and its expected impacts occur in the near future, even swift societal attempts at control would yield little immediate success, say the authors. “The climate’s inertia would lead to only a slow response to such efforts and guarantee that future warming would still be large,” they write.
New estimates of sulfur dioxide and other emissions, along with updated information on carbon storage, ocean circulation, radiation, and other components of the earth system have improved computer models of the earth’s climate and led the IPCC to both raise and widen its estimated range of global temperature increase. The latest range of 2.5-10.4 degree F is up significantly from the panel’s 1995 estimates of 1.4-6.3 degree.
In their analysis Wigley and Raper attempted to interpret the likelihood of the new estimates, taking into account the wide uncertainties about future human activities and the climate’s response to them. They identified the main sources of uncertainty and estimated the probability of their values falling within defined ranges. They then used these results to “drive” a simplified climate model and combined the various model results into probability ranges for temperature increases.
The National Science Foundation and the Electric Power Research Institute funded the study. NCAR is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a consortium of 66 universities offering Ph.D.s in atmospheric and related sciences.
Wigley and Raper used several mathematical procedures to arrive at a 90% likelihood that, over the period 1990-2100, the earth’s temperature will rise between 1.7 and 4.9 degrees Celsius, or 3 and 9 degrees Fahrenheit (right hand curve). The corresponding 1990-2030 range (left hand curve) is 0.5 to 1.2 degree Celsius, or 1 to 2 degrees Fahrenheit.

So much for computer modeling. Remember, we as a people are supposed to trust “scientists” who base their predictions upon inaccurate computer modeling. These are the same models that they derive their 5 day forecasts from. When was the last time that the forecast said no rain on Thursday so you plan an out door activity and when Thursday arrived it rained so hard you wished that you had an ark?
The truth is people that these pinheads who want you to buy into their doomsday predictions of catastrophic climate change are getting wealthy off their ‘chicken little’ predictions. Global warming is a multi-billion dollar industry these days and YOU are funding it.
My friend Kender has a saying…
“Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups, especially on election day.”
No more is that evident than what happened in November of 2006 when the electorate of this nation elected leftards to control Congress. This was perceived by those newly enthroned libbys as a moratorium on leftist thought. Everything from immediate withdrawal from Iraq to impeachment of President George W. Bush was considered ‘the will of the people’.
It was YOU who elected to power the leadership of the 110th ‘Do Nothing’ Congress. And their new Speaker of the House, Nancy ‘I’m trying to save the planet’ Pelosi, is on a Don Quixote type of crusade to save a planet that will be here as it has been for billions of years for billions of years to come. It is her quest that led to the abrupt recessing of the House so she could go out and pimp a terribly poor book rather than voting on a bill that would open up domestic oil production and a pathway to energy independence.
She fears an up or down vote on drilling because the people of this nation have spoken and she heard their call. 75% of Americans want domestic oil production opened up and that doesn’t fit into her quest to ’save the planet’.
So she declared herself Empress of the House, ordered it shuddered and left on her book tour. Now she seems to be balking. We’ll see if the moratorium is allowed to expire come October.
As we contend with High Priest Al Gore and his rantings about man’s contribution to the greenhouse effect through our use of fossil fuels, we should probably take a look at history. We know that the island known as Greenland is covered by a glacier and not very green. We also know that Greenland got its name from the Vikings who settled there during a period known as the Medieval Optimum or the Medieval Warm Period. The Medieval Optimum occurred between approximately 900 – 1300 AD and marked a substantial period of sustained warming far above what we are experiencing today as evident in the following graphic.
Source – Joseph D’Aleo, Certified Consultant Meteorologist and Executive Director of ICECAP
D’Aleo says about Greenland in particular:
Temperatures in Greenland were actually colder in the 1980s and early 1990s than anytime since the 1800s.
In late 1990s, when the Atlantic warmed, temperatures rose, but have not yet reached the peak set in 1930s and 1940s.
Icecap depth is increasing in the interior but now eroding in some areas near the edges as they did 70 years ago, but not due to global warming, just natural cycles in the Atlantic
This brings up the subject illustrated in the graphic, not only was Greenland colder in the 80s and 90s it was warm enough during the Medieval Optimum to farm the land which is now covered by a glacier. Hence the reason why it is called GREENland.
In the same respect, we shouldn’t ignore the MDI’s hysterics when it comes to Greenland and the Arctic. They like show images of the ice melting but what they aren’t telling you is that the footage is being shot during the warmest months of the year. They like to decry the plight of the polar bears and claim that they are dying because of the melting ice but what they fail to remind you about is the fact that polar bears can swim and prefer to swim in cold waters. They speak about the sea ice decreasing but they fail to mention that the interior ice is getting thicker. These being true, what else are they not telling us? How about the manipulation of the computer models from which they derive their manufactured data for instance? A computer will tell you anything that the programmer wants it to tell you. Hence the data used in High Priest Al Gore’s Power Point Propaganda Presentation also known as An Incomplete Deception err An Inconvenient Truth.
Truth be told, the whole hysteria driven green movement is based on lies. Lies popularized by High Priest Al Gore to boost his personal wealth. He is heavily invested in companies who develop wind and solar technologies. That means the more hysterical you get over our nation’s use of fossil fuels the richer he gets. Haven’t you ever wondered why he preaches to us about our use of fossil fuels but yet leaves his limo idling in the parking lot? Or how about his jet setting around the world in a private plane giving speeches attempting to convince you to curb your energy consumption? Or how about his wanting us to conserve energy in our homes and give up incandescent light bulbs in favor of those incredibly expensive compact fluorescent light bulbs while his home uses 19 times the energy that the average American household uses? He is on a quest to save this planet from itself no matter how much money it costs you with the promise of getting more wealthy along the way. What a guy huh.
Fact – Greenland was once farmland.
Fact – Global Warming Alarmists refuse to define what the ideal global temperature should be.
Fact – Change is the only constant when it comes to the climate.
Fact – No one – especially High Priest Al Gore – knows what tomorrow holds for global climate temperatures.
Fact – Keep in mind that some of the same people who are predicting global catastrophes are the same people who attempt to predict local weather forecasts. They can’t get an accurate 5 day forecast right, do you really trust them to tell you what global temperatures will be like in 10, 20, 30, 50, or 100 YEARS from now?
I don’t and neither should you.

As the Emperor contemplates expanding his power through the use of the executive order as a tool to legislate without Congress, stunning news has emerged from the UK which the Emperor will ignore I’m sure. One aspect of his agenda which he has been unable to ram-rod through Congress and is now poised to use [...]
For nearly 3 years, the die hards of the Church of Global Warming Climate Change of Modern Day Idiots have been attempting to push the idea that the science proving man is the cause of global warming climate change (in their words) “is settled”. They nearly succeeded until…

… And I’m Not Talking About Shakespeare.
After a short absence, I return to blogging with a doozy that I’ve been sitting on. During my time away I learned of the hacked emails released on the net exposing the “scientific” reports upon which the IPCC reports on man-made global warming as a massive conspiracy to commit [...]
A new study on the hindering effects of decreasing air pollution may be the scientific evidence needed to short circuit POTUS Obamaramadingdong’s efforts to further stymie US companies and make MORE people dependent upon his Socialist government.
From AFP via Breitbart.com:
Cleaning up skies choked with smog and soot would sharply curtail the capacity of plants [...]
Amidst the liberal lovefest coverage emerges a story that is getting moderate play from the Farmer’s Almanac that is tying in to news from the Midwest indicating that the fear mongering MDI* may be full of nothing but hot air themselves.
The FoxNews/AP headline reads, “Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Colder, ‘Catastrophic’ Winter“:
People worried about the high cost [...]
Look out High Priest Al Gore and all you unthinking drones of the MDI* but it seems that the earth may be entering a “little ice age” and it will be decreased solar activity that will be the cause. Or so says a Mexican scientist in a recent article on the website Milenio.
From Milenio:
An expert [...]
A new film countering the hysteria being parroted by High Priest Al Gore and his minions in the Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots* has been produced and will soon be in theaters. YOU have a chance be a part of this historic film and help save our economy.
You read that right, a leftist newspaper is publicly acknowledging flaws in the global warming scam.
August is the wettest and often the muggiest month of the year. Yet, summer heat continues in short supply, continuing a trend that has dominated much of the 21st Century’s opening decade. There have been only 162 days 90 degrees [...]
As we contend with High Priest Al Gore and his rantings about man’s contribution to the greenhouse effect through our use of fossil fuels, we should probably take a look at history. We know that the island known as Greenland is covered by a glacier and not very green. We also know that Greenland got [...]

As the Emperor contemplates expanding his power through the use of the executive order as a tool to legislate without Congress, stunning news has emerged from the UK which the Emperor will ignore I’m sure. One aspect of his agenda which he has been unable to ram-rod through Congress and is now poised to use executive orders to carry out is his Cap and Trade plan. How he expects to use power that he doesn’t have to forward this job killing measure is beyond me but perhaps he should now actually listen to the so-called scientist that has caused the hysteria upon which his plans have been built.![[del.icio.us]](http://gribbitonline.com/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify/delicious.png)
