Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 15 Feb 2010 11:12 AM EST
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. More>>> Monday, February 1
Leaked climate change emails scientist 'hid' data flaws
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 01 Feb 2010 11:07 PM EST
Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced More>>> Sunday, January 17
World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sun 17 Jan 2010 06:54 AM EST
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it. Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035. In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report More>>> Saturday, December 26
The climate change scam: A concise summary
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 26 Dec 2009 12:54 PM EST
In the wake of Climategate, common sense deniers like to say that there is lots of other evidence for global warming, in addition to that which has been debunked by the East Anglia whistleblower. Actually, however, the scientific evidence for AGW is remarkably weak. At Icecap, Lee Gerhard, geologist and reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, sums up the key scientific evidence with admirable brevity: More>>> Friday, December 25
Steyn: Why climate change is hot hot hot
by

on Fri 25 Dec 2009 10:12 AM EST
According to the CIA’s analysis, “detrimental global climatic change” threatens “the stability of most nations.” And, alas, for a global phenomenon, Canada will be hardest hit. The entire Dominion from the Arctic to the 49th parallel will be under 150 feet of ice. Oh, wait. That was the last “scientific consensus” on “climate change,” early seventies version, as reflected in a CIA report from August 1974 More>>> Monday, December 21
America Under Barack Obama An Interview with Nat Hentoff
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 21 Dec 2009 08:25 AM EST
Nat Hentoff has had a life well spent, one chock full of controversy fueled by his passion for the protection of civil liberties and human rights. Hentoff is known as a civil libertarian, free speech activist, anti-death penalty advocate, pro-lifer and not uncommon critic of the ideological left...I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had.

How do global warming proponents handle a problem like Huntsville climatologist and global warming skeptic Dr. John Christy? Recently leaked e-mails show that question has bedeviled some of the world's leading climate scientists to a point they may have destroyed their own credibility. More>>>
Gary Sutton: The Fiction Of Climate Science
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sun 06 Dec 2009 11:49 AM EST
Al Gore thought he might ride his global warming crusade back toward the White House. If you saw his movie, which opened showing cattle on his farm, you start to understand how shallow this is. The United Nations says that cattle, farting and belching methane, create more global warming than all the SUVs in the world. Even more laughably, Al and his camera crew flew first class for that film, consuming 50% more jet fuel per seat-mile than coach fliers, while his Tennessee mansion sucks as much carbon as 20 average homes. His PR folks say he's "carbon neutral" due to some trades. I'm unsure of how that works, but, maybe there's a tribe in the Sudan that cannot have a campfire for the next hundred years to cover Al's energy gluttony. I'm just not sophisticated enough to know how that stuff works. But I do understand he flies a private jet when the camera crew is gone (H/t: Our pal, Steve) More>>> Tuesday, December 1
Obama and the CRUddites of Britain
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 01 Dec 2009 03:50 AM EST
The CRU Crew of liars and scientific frauds of the UK have been driving the climate fraud campaign for years. They shaped the corrupt and ridiculous IPCC UN report, designed to empower the Green Corruptocracy as the new international Ruling Class. Now that they have been finally, and devastatingly exposed to the world -- including the British media, the BBC (reluctantly), the Guardian, the Times and the Telegraph, and the Daily Mail, which is smelling a huge scandal that will bring down the Labour Party (socialist). The one thing the Brits still pride themselves on is their world class science. The CRU crusade shows that science, too, has become pervasively corrupt and sick in New Socialist Britain. More>>>

“[Marxist theories provide] a set of slogans that were supposed to justify and glorify communism and the slavery that inevitably goes with it… [although] the ideological fantasies of this movement … were no more than a nonsensical expression of the whims of spoilt middle-class children… the movement did without doubt express a profound crisis of faith.” More>>> Wednesday, November 25
Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 25 Nov 2009 03:05 AM EST
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka CRU) and released 61 megabytes of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That) When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”. More>>> Tuesday, November 24
Global Warming With the Lid Off: The emails that reveal an effort to hide the truth about climate science
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 24 Nov 2009 12:09 PM EST
Consider the following note that appears to have been sent by Mr. Jones to Mr. Mann in May 2008: "Mike, Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. . . . Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same?" AR4 is shorthand for the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change's (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, presented in 2007 as the consensus view on how bad man-made climate change has supposedly become. In another email that seems to have been sent in September 2007 to Eugene Wahl of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Paleoclimatology Program and to Caspar Ammann of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Climate and Global Dynamics Division, Mr. Jones writes: "[T]ry and change the Received date! Don't give those skeptics something to amuse themselves with." When deleting, doctoring or withholding information didn't work, Mr. Jones suggested an alternative in an August 2008 email to Gavin Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, copied to Mr. Mann. "The FOI [Freedom of Information] line we're all using is this," he wrote. "IPCC is exempt from any countries FOI—the skeptics have been told this. Even though we . . . possibly hold relevant info the IPCC is not part of our remit (mission statement, aims etc) therefore we don't have an obligation to pass it on." More>>>
E-Mails Of Climate Researchers Buttress Case Of Warming Fraud
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 24 Nov 2009 03:31 AM EST
Junk Science: Hacked e-mails from Britain's Climate Research Unit are only the latest evidence of climate fraud. Just ask NASA's James Hansen about the faking of climate data or EPA employees about the suppression of climate fact. For years, noted scientists and other global warming skeptics have been accused of being on the take, their research tainted and funded by grants from Big Oil and other fossil-fuel interests. Now, it turns out, it's the warm-mongers who are fudging the numbers and concealing the inconvenient truth. More>>> Thursday, November 5

FTA- We’re not even exaggerating this for comic effect. No need. Al Gore has publicly admitted that carbon dioxide isn’t actually to blame for most pre-2001 global warming. And since the world has been cooling since 1998 and…well…what the hell, Al? The BBC reports a story that guaranteed to be under-reported in the United States... More>>> Wednesday, November 4
Election 2009: Change I Can Believe In!
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 04 Nov 2009 10:42 PM EST
The biggest loser was President Obama, who campaigned tirelessly for Corzine, even giving up golf on several occasions and skipping a quarter-million-dollar "date night" with Michelle to stump for the Democrat. Just two days before the election, Obama was at a rally in New Jersey assuring voters that Corzine was "one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together. ... Jon Corzine helped get this done." Except the problem is that voting for Obama a year ago was a fashion statement, much like it was once a fad to buy Beanie Babies, pet rocks and Cabbage Patch Kids. But instead of ending up with a ridiculous dust-collector at the bottom of your closet, the Obama fad leaves you with higher taxes, a reduced retirement fund, no job and a one-year wait for an MRI.

The web is ablaze with an excerpt of a speech given by Lord Christopher Monckton warning against the upcoming Copenhagen Climate agreement treaty which will, in effect, create a single world grovernment, that President Obama will sign in only a few weeks. Lord Monckton appeared with Glenn Beck on his program Friday for the entire hour. A very illuminating and entertaining program!

Lord Christopher Monckton's speech in Minnesota as referenced in the article. Previously posted on Monday October 26th here at The Saloon Dot Net. Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—a rough draft of what could be signed come December. So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.

Cap-And-Trade: Killer Of The American Dream
by

on Thu 24 Sep 2009 10:43 AM EDT
Hundreds of thousands of taxpayers swarmed the nation's capital September 12th to deliver a message to their elected officials: Don't turn our American Dream into a nightmare. A nightmare is exactly what America will be living if "cap and trade" legislation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions becomes law. That global warming tax would kill millions of jobs, bring an end to cheap energy and cripple the economy. More>>>

Czech President Vaclav Klaus sharply criticized a U.N. meeting on climate change on Tuesday at which U.S. President Barack Obama was among the top speakers, describing it as propagandistic and undignified. "It was sad and it was frustrating," said Klaus, one of the world's most vocal skeptics on the topic of global warming. "It's a propagandistic exercise where 13-year-old girls from some far-away country perform a pre-rehearsed poem," he said. "It's simply not dignified." More>>> Tuesday, September 22

Wealth redistribution: What the Left's cap and trade schemes, emissions quotas are REALLY all about
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 09 Sep 2009 10:58 AM EDT
Schellnhuber: In a special study we describe a possible way out. The WBGU has also come across countries that pump a lot less CO2 into the atmosphere than the quota would entitle them to. Most of these countries are the poorest in the world, where climate protection and the future are central issues. These nations are saving us from climate change happening at an even faster rate. This should finally be recognized and rewarded. For that reason we came up with a SCHEME whereby industrialized nations can buy emission quotas from countries with lower levels of CO2 output. The money made through this global trade in emissions could then be put towards financing environmentally friendly technology and developments in those countries. Redistributing the wealth from wealthier nations? Cap and trade? Emission quotas? Hmm, where have I heard someone say something about "spreading the wealth around" before? Or how about this little gem: Schellnhuber: Our basic principle is that all humans have equal rights to the atmosphere. This is a basic right. So now we're back to basic 'global' human rights again? Everyone on the planet should be made whole, equal, and without undue burden. Spread the wealth around, make everyone in the world equal (rights, wealth, healthcare, means of production) and save the planet at the same time? Where have I heard something like that before? And I like this comment too: The fact that Germany's emissions quotas will be exhausted in 10 years if they don't change their habits can only mean one thing: The next government must adopt a new and drastic climate package immediately. This will help us develop tomorrow's necessary climate-friendly technology much quicker. Really? Are we all going to die in the next 10 years if we don't? Schellnhuber: The WBGU is not political; we merely advise the government and present our studies and findings to the public. Our budget has nothing to do with utopias but rather with the physical conditions under which we can prevent our civilization from crumbling. Well, I know I'm convinced! Aren't you?

Ian Plimer has outraged the ayatollahs of purist environmentalism, the Torquemadas of the doctrine of global warming, and he seems to relish the damnation they heap on him. Plimer is a geologist, professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, and he may well be Australia's best-known and most notorious academic. Plimer, you see, is an unremitting critic of "anthropogenic global warming" -- man-made climate change to you and me -- and the current environmental orthodoxy that if we change our polluting ways, global warming can be reversed.

Mystery mechanism drove global warming 55 million years ago
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 13 Jul 2009 06:48 PM EDT
A runaway spurt of global warming 55 million years ago turned Earth into a hothouse but how this happened remains worryingly unclear, scientists said on Monday. Previous research into this period, called the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM, estimates the planet's surface temperature blasted upwards by between five and nine degrees Celsius (nine and 16.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in just a few thousand years. The Arctic Ocean warmed to 23 C (73 F), or about the temperature of a lukewarm bath...What seems clear is that a huge amount of heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases -- natural, as opposed to man-made -- were disgorged in a very short time.

Sonia Sotomayor will begin her confirmation hearings next week with some of the highest levels of public opposition of any Supreme Court nominee in the last two decades, according to a new poll by the CNN and the Opinion Research Corporation. In fact, only one nominee had a higher level of opposition: Harriet Miers, who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005. Miers later withdrew her nomination under questions about her qualifications from both the political left and right. (Are you listening, GOP senators? - Roland) More>>> |
