Global Whatever

Few notes, on my increasingly unlikely terminated blog:

1. Ray was showing me the projected new shipping lanes in the Artic as published in the Atlantic Monthly. (Sort of a neat idea) Then, I heard on CSPAN the presdient of some international energy bla bla saying by 2030 the world will be hotter by 10 degrees farenheit, so we ought to have a meeting.
This is astounding. As Greg says, you can't make this stuff up. A meeting!

I have come to realize the facts are not important, I was foolish to address them previously; creating fear, jobs, and large government are the goals, not transmitting data. As a minor Canadian politician said not long ago, "If global warming didn't exist, we'd have to make it up."

Just keep repeating the big lie and the sheeple will believe. Except for the mantra that 95% of us will get a tax reduction, that must be true. (The photo, I admit, is an obscure reference. That is the Queen of Hearts, who must have her own way, no matter how stupid, or off with your head.)

However:

1. An article re the growth of ice in the arctic, which I wrote about some time ago. It refers to You Tube video, for those who don't read. (reading Hanson does not qualify)

According to collated data from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Illinois, Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007

2. China: can't get a research ship to Antarctica because of unexpected ice 40 km from shore.

3. Antarctic record ice growth:

News Roundup September 13, 2007 Antarctic ice grows to record levels & Over 500 scientists published studies countering global warming fears

4. Gee, the earth's climate changes

a. Columbia and NSF, covering tracks, call periodic ice ages "new evidence"

b. Old Domonion: Thinks the cold is coming. I mentioned that months ago as solar activity has dropped off. Maybe, I should call it new evidence, then the obviousness of it will be accepted.

...One could also call it a belief. In the case of global warming, this belief is that, if enormous amounts of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, a temperature rise must occur. This prior assumption has guided scientific thinking and triggered a true deluge of investigations, all desperately trying to prove just that. What has been totally forgotten is the fact that natural climate changes occur as well as manmade ones, and on time scales on the order of decades, in some cases.....

c. A U.S. Senate's guru says: (in February, since then things have gotten colder)

Marc Morano is the resident authority on global warming with the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works minority staff. He says according to records kept by the United Nations, global average temperatures peaked during the El Nino year of 1998 -- and that since 2001, the temperature trend has declined slightly.

According to Morano, despite the continued pumping of CO2 into the atmosphere, the southern hemisphere has also experienced a cooling trend; and in the northern hemisphere, January 2008, by some estimates, was the coldest month in more than a decade.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
Al Gore says any scientist who disagrees with him on Global Warming is a kook, or a crook.

Guess he never met these guys

Dr. Edward Wegman--former chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciences--demolishes the famous "hockey stick" graph that launched the global warming panic.

Dr. David Bromwich--president of the International Commission on Polar Meteorology--says "it's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now."

Prof. Paul Reiter--Chief of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Institute--says "no major scientist with any long record in this field" accepts Al Gore's claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases. {Huh? Bugs?]

Prof. Hendrik Tennekes--director of research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute--states "there exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studies" used for global warming forecasts.

Dr. Christopher Landsea--past chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones--says "there are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity."

Dr. Antonino Zichichi--one of the world's foremost physicists, former president of the European Physical Society, who discovered nuclear antimatter--calls global warming models "incoherent and invalid."

Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski--world-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in climate research--says the U.N. "based its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false."

Prof. Tom V. Segalstad--head of the Geological Museum, University of Oslo--says "most leading geologists" know the U.N.'s views "of Earth processes are implausible."

Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu--founding director of the International Arctic Research Center, twice named one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," says much "Arctic warming during the last half of the last century is due to natural change."

Dr. Claude Allegre--member, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, he was among the first to sound the alarm on the dangers of global warming. His view now: "The cause of this climate change is unknown."

Dr. Richard Lindzen--Professor of Meteorology at M.I.T., member, the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, says global warming alarmists "are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn't happen even if the models were right."

Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov--head of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science's Pulkovo Observatory and of the International Space Station's Astrometria project says "the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations."

Dr. Richard Tol--Principal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit, and Adjunct Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls the most influential global warming report of all time "preposterous . . . alarmist and incompetent."

Dr. Sami Solanki--director and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, who argues that changes in the Sun's state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming: "The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures."

Prof. Freeman Dyson--one of the world's most eminent physicists says the models used to justify global warming alarmism are "full of fudge factors" and "do not begin to describe the real world."

Dr. Eigils Friis-Christensen--director of the Danish National Space Centre, vice-president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, who argues that changes in the Sun's behavior could account for most of the warming attributed by the UN to man-made CO2.

And many more, all in Lawrence Solomon's devastating new book, The Deniers

That said, I have no doubt we will spend billions on ensnaring people in fear of the ongoing global something or other. These days, the way money is thrown around without recourse to the people, it will be trillions. But, at least, Mr. Obama will use the federal government to drive all the coal companies into bankruptcy, just like the Constitution provides, helping all those...hmmm.

Anyway, have a good Thanksgiving. Start storing can goods (no joke).

PS: When a tree falls and rots in the forest, all the CO2 is returned to the atmosphere. Ronald Regan was right. The forests are the problem - cut em down. Or, at least, bury all vegetation. When a tree looks old, kill it and bury it to save the planet.
