"Climate Change" (AKA "Global Warming")... is it a scam?

[Chester]

When we hear the term "Climate Change" we can make a pretty solid bet that this term is simply the latest PC way to say "Global Warming."

Yet most of us know that when either term is used, it is used under the assumption that this purported earthly condition is "bad" for Earth and all on her, accelerating at rates never that our impending doom is upon us and that "Man" is causing it.

I cannot know what is what in this regard... I just cannot know. What I also know is I cannot trust "men" (and "women") when they make claims about this either way... whether they are trying to tell us its real or they are trying to tell us its a scam. But can any reader of this forum say they would be surprised if it was all a scam?

But what if its true?

What if we simply looked at the history of where all this information came from? What if we found the actual original source of the information and that it was this same source who held classes on the matter that a young Al Gore attended?

Be Warned..... you are about to be presented with

Discovery of how the earth is will continue for generations.... They don't know and I consider it an uneducated guess because man hasn't been doing the documented research long enough to have observed cycles that take generations to evolve...

[lilac]

Definitely a confusing topic, when you consider chemtrails, HAARP and other EMFs, and also the interesting point that there are those who profit from "global warming"... G. Edward Griffin has a lot to say on the topic. I posted an interview with him on another thread... here is one more recent:

[Bubu]

its a scam. whether its warming or cooling the over publicity is meant to polarize and confuse.
its meant to entertain those who are bored and give problem to those who has not.

change is constant me thinks.

[meat suit]

the conclusion that I have for now is:
we are going into a grand solar minimum, the bottom of which will be 2030ish.
wether the resulting cooling will be minimized by the aleged manmade global warming or not is to be seen...

we can also expect increased earth quake and vulcano activity as always happens in solar minimums.
none of those will be the cause of man's activities.... yet vulcanic dust in the atmosphere can cause major cooling...

[Yetti]

In my humble opinion all this climate change BS is exactly that! bs. The real prove of the earth changes was layed on the ice , and scientist have research for decades finding several cicles of warming and cooling cicles without the burning of fossil fuels or too many cows expelling gas from the rear end! Is all bout a tax , is that simple, educate ( indoctrinate) the people to agree later being taxed , to pay a carbon tax. You don't believe? wait and see, but don't cry later! Just take a look at who is pushing the global warming agenda, who pay their checks, Follow the money....!

[norman]

The man who started the whole global warming meme later changed his mind but was silenced.


Why?


My guess..... because it was chosen as the big scam to finance and force into place a new kind of non national government, a NewWordOrder.


How?


Carbon Tax, for one thing. Then there's the de industrialisation of advanced countries, to bring them down to a level where they can be more easily merged with 3rd world people under a single tyrannical financial elite gang of banksters and corporate scum.


Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of a global unity. Just not one put together by stealth by the biggest crooks on the planet as their way of staying in power and crapping on the rest of us from their great height of self idealised superiority. There's only one thing correct in that. They certainly are different from the rest of us, that bit's true. Superior?.... FFS.....they're lower than a snakes belly, psychopaths, not superior.


There are observable crazy things happening to the climate. Do these crooks even have the technology to be causing that too?


There's plenty of evidence that they do.


Crooks, crooks, crooks. The biggest irony is that the whole world is going to unite to rise up and bust them. That's my kind of new world order ;)

Tree-rings prove climate was WARMER in Roman and Medieval times than it is now - and world has been cooling for 2,000 years

Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2171973/Tree-ring-study-proves-climate-WARMER-Roman-Medieval-times-modern-industrial-age.html

Study of semi-fossilised trees gives accurate climate reading back to 138BC
World was warmer in Roman and Medieval times than it is now

How did the Romans grow grapes in northern England? Perhaps because it was warmer than we thought.

A study suggests the Britain of 2,000 years ago experienced a lengthy period of hotter summers than today.

German researchers used data from tree rings – a key indicator of past climate – to claim the world has been on a ‘long-term cooling trend’ for two millennia until the global warming of the twentieth century.

This cooling was punctuated by a couple of warm spells.

These are the Medieval Warm Period, which is well known, but also a period during the toga-wearing Roman times when temperatures were apparently 1 deg C warmer than now.

They say the very warm period during the years 21 to 50AD has been underestimated by climate scientists.

Lead author Professor Dr Jan Esper of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz said: ‘We found that previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the Middle Ages were too low.

‘This figure we calculated may not seem particularly significant, however it is not negligible when compared to global warming, which up to now has been less than 1 deg C.’

In general the scientists found a slow cooling of 0.6C over 2,000 years, which they attributed to changes in the Earth’s orbit which took it further away from the Sun.

The study is published in Nature Climate Change.

It is based on measurements stretching back to 138BC.

The finding may force scientists to rethink current theories of the impact of global warming

Professor Esper's group at the Institute of Geography at JGU used tree-ring density measurements from sub-fossil pine trees originating from Finnish Lapland to produce a reconstruction reaching back to 138 BC.

In so doing, the researchers have been able for the first time to precisely demonstrate that the long-term trend over the past two millennia has been towards climatic cooling.

As I wrote here:


Let's keep it simple here:

There is something happening to local weather which in turn is an indication of something happening with earth's climate.

The thing is this: robber barons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron) - following JP Morgan's obsession of putting meters onto everything - couldn't tax gods nor volcanoes, comets and asteroids for spewing ashes or sowing orbiting dust all around.

So, AL Gore and followers, applying Rahm Emanuel's formula to a T:


You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And, what I mean by that, it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.
- Rahm EmanuelDecided to find a way to pin it onto humans/us and their/our activities to squeeze a few more $$ out of them/us and prevent any competition to develop in "Third World" countries (Rockefeller's moto).

Since then, that gigantic lie has been hammered on us, daily, in an attempt to convince everyone that square pegs do actually fit in round holes.

As for examples of acknowledging who is buttering their sliced breads with research grants:

[GrayWolfBG]

Well most of you guys are gonna have a fun time over the next 5 years!

I will endeavour , as long as the net continues, to see how your notions are evolving over that span?

For those twittering about volcanoes go check the USGS figures on CO2/So2 outputs for a year and compare that to man's outputs ( over a year) As a 'heads up Pinatubo , the biggest blast in the past 150yrs , put out 0.02% of the CO2 man is currently pumping out each year...... and reflect on that as Pinatubo had a marked 2 year impact on global temps ( global Dimming). So the flip side of GHG warming is the cooling, ongoing, by the particulate/sulphates the pollution also carries.....

It is no coincidence the the last three , year on year, global temp records coincides with China's headlong surge into scrubbing technology and reduction in coal use ( in favour of renewables). The regions directly downwind of the pollution source have also seen the same '3 year' impact as both the warm phase of IPO took over in 2014 and PDO positive also went positive in 2014. both use sst temps as 'triggers' for their phase states and both switched from promoting cooling of the climate to warming.

In the mid noughties NASA told us 'Dimming' was reducing GHG warming by up to 50%.

Any return to a Maunder Min would reduce solar output by 0.2%........

As China continues to clean up its act ( cancelled 103 coal fired power stations this year) air qualities will improve ( spoke to a lass in Beijing 2 weekends back and her AQI was down in the low to moderate range whereas winters past had been so bad that folk stayed indoors or moved out to the countryside where air quality was better?) and dimming over the primary impact areas ( Pacific) will reduce allowing the full impact of the solar back to the surface where it can be absorbed and re-emitted as long-wave infra red for the GHG's to hold onto.

We now know that US/European/USSR dimming lowered temps over the 40's to 80's and allowed growth in Sea ice Thickness across the Arctic basin. Our rush into clean air acts and a better air quality then allowed the return to the enhanced warming ( we saw through the 80's/90's?) China may well have taken up our slack in 'dimming the planet' but the down range went from Atlantic/arctic to the Pacific basin. Did you never wonder why the IPO negative had acted like it was on steroids through the noughties ? Did you never wonder at the record trade winds we were measuring over that period? IPO-ve 'buries' heat in the ocean as opposed to the positive phase which keeps the warmed waters at the surface ( lighter winds) Was IPO-ve aided by the reduction in solar reaching the ocean surface? And what of more solar hitting the surface now we are in the 'surface heating' phase? What impact do you think that will have? Would it ,say, be warm enough to scrub out a forming La Nina by warmed surrounding waters 'mixing out' the cold Nina waters......... hmmm.......and a Nino back to back with a Super Nino? How common is that?

Arctic Sea ice is just about at max and Sea ice volume is at record low volumes ( less ice than the same time last year) with the number of accrued Freezing Degree Days over the basin far less than last years record low tally.

To bring folk up to speed last melt season was very poor for melt with all three of the high solar , 24hr day, months blighted by cloud and cool conditions. Ice sailed into joint second lowest Extent by September. It shared second place with 2007 which took a 'perfect melt storm' over all of the melt season to take ice extent that low....... so one of the worst ice melt seasons ( 'worse' for the lack of melt forcing) still managed to tie with 07'??? Area went even lower and was pretty close to 2012's record low Area.

So how will this year do ? We know that we are in worse shape than the same time last year with even less ice than then and that a repeat of last years 'poor melt' summer must leave us in record low states by sea ice min.

The 'Perfect melt Storm' in 2007 was part of a cycle of such events that return every 10 to 20 years across the Arctic. The two perfect melt storms before 2007 respected a ten year spacing. This year is ten years after the last perfect melt storm so ought we expect a summer melt season 'better for melt' than last year?

Last years open waters put about a Nino's worth of energy into the climate system. Most of that energy appeared to return to the basin as storm after storm entered the area raising mis winter temps there to above freezing ( 24hr dark yet melt occurred!!!).

How many Nino's of energy will this years open water throw into the mix?

How much extra energy will the reduction in dimming over the Pacific introduce in the system?

Will Nino again form up and affect next winter?

With so much 'New' energy now flooding into a climate system where the CO2 growth is well above the IPCC's 'worse case Scenario/Business as usual' levels what do you think must occur?

The 98' 'Super Nino' caused record warm global temps. It took 8 years to catch up to that high. How long will it take for us to beat the 2016 record? 2017 is already now beating the other recent record warm years on a month by month basis so will nino forming give it a chance to challenge 2016 for the record???

Feb , last year, broke through 1.5c above pre-industrial. I know it was a nino temp and 0.3c above the record set by 2016 but it raises the question of how long before we see background temps make up that 0.3c? At 1.5c above pre-industrial we are told we will lose all the northern permafrost ( as occurred the last time temps were so high according to paleo data taken in 2013) and summer Sea ice.

So we now see the Stratosphere breaking. Feb 2016 saw 'the old faithful of the Stratosphere' fail to reverse. The QBO had been set to go easterly and propogated down but then just returned aloft without changing, for those who do not know the QBO is the primary controller of global weather via its interactions with the like of MJO/SSW/PV.

The Stratospheric 'polar vortex' has had a torrid winter of malformation, displacement and disruption and allowed the warmth/humidity into the Arctic Basin that now leaves us so prone to a record low ice year.

So for those who think 'Fake' or 'Scam' you are gonna need some pretty good excuses by September!!!! Remember our weather is tied to the expressions we all recognise. It cannot grow a special AGW flavour of weather. All you will see is more extreme weather more often. More heat related records falling compared to cold. How was the Northern Hemisphere winter this year? Warm for most? Extreme rainfall/snowfall events? Extreme wind events?

[Chester]

The latest twist on the scam is that... "the ocean is trapping the CO2" but the day will come and come soon and we'll all become toast.

also, I have too often noticed the phrase "We now know."

all too often that phrase is followed with a statement which is nothing but opinion or is backed by cherry picked data from those with an agenda that is anything but the altruistic goals they pretend to hold.

Thanks for this,GrayWolfBG. I occasionally come across a thread like this on the forum, but I can no longer muster the time or energy to debate with the deniers, so I'm glad that you have. In my experience, it is a fool's errand to even try to resolve this issue. All I know for sure is that the earth is getting warmer, and the warming has been accelerating since the start of the industrial revolution. Our planet's ice caps and glaciers are melting, and the ocean temperatures are rising. The energy within our biome is making our weather systems more chaotic and extreme. This set of conditions is clear to anyone who bothers to look. The opportunities we had to mitigate this in ANY way are long gone.

Debate, however, is futile.

But sincere thanks for the attempt.

Yet also... no one can really know if this is true when the folks that are telling other folks "this" are compromised. Maybe they are telling the truth... maybe the Earth is 'warming' but how can you believe folks who are compromised? How?

And so then... let's just say for a moment it is. Why is it? Not even the compromised folks can tell you why and certainly, when they try and tell you 'man' is causing it or causing most of it, they cannot produce any actual proof that this is the case much less come up with any proof that suggests a reasonably accurate percentage. I admit that if I fart, I add to the greenhouse effect. But my bet is that the percentage my own flatulence isn't even measurable much less are we able to pin down the actual percentages of the current favorite boogeymen.

If the global temps continue with the trend we saw for Jan and Feb 2017 will come is as the 4th in a row record warm year outstripping last years Nino assisted Record?

How can that even be a thing???

When we look back over the past 3 record years we find that Global temps have leapt a full 0.2c, the last century put on 1c so 0.2c every 20 years.......

The increase in solar reaching the surface looks to be increasing as China continues to throttle back on its coal use along with implementing clean air technologies in an attempt to stem the urban deaths that smog is causing. NASA, during the noughties, calculated that half the potential warming was being lost to Global Dimming' . That would be 1c that was ready to appear once the pollution blocking its entry disappeared. I guess we still have a bit more warming ahead?

The drought has 'eased' in Calfornia for it is far from over in some areas? Ground water reserves are still sitting at record lows so we'll need to see this rainy spell continue to fully recover to old values?

What is happening in Peru appears to tie in with this ~Nino like~ weathers we are seeing? Oddly during last years Super Nino Peruvians were not seeing their anchovies disappear as is the norm for nino conditions and now there is no Nino they are seeing nino conditions??? Has the broken QBO a role to play in this ripping off atmospheric cooperation from sea surface forcing and so causing 'nino like' events when the physical forcings are absent?

Our Agencies use ocean surface temps across Nino 3.4 to decalre a Nino. ATM temps in 3.4 are below threshold to call nino. Temps across regions 1 and 2 are in super Nino ranges???

Delingpole: And So It Begins, Trump’s Great Climate Purge…

Finally the Trump administration is starting to get serious about taking on the Green Blob.

EPA administrator Scott Pruitt – perhaps stung by criticisms that he was turning into a squish – today reaffirmed, in an interview with CNBC, that he is not a believer in catastrophic man-made global warming.


I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. So no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don’t know that yet…

This new boldness coincides with a purge of warmist scientific advisers at both the EPA and the Interior Department.


EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has chosen to replace half of the members on one of its key scientific review boards, while Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is “reviewing the charter and charge” of more than 200 advisory boards, committees, and other entities both within and outside of his department. EPA and Interior officials began informing outside advisers of the move on Friday, and notifications continued over the weekend.

Pruitt’s move could significantly change the makeup of the 18-member Board of Scientific Counselors, which advises EPA’s key scientific arm on whether the research it does has sufficient rigor and integrity. All of the members being dismissed were at the end of serving at least one three-year term, although these terms are often renewed instead of terminated.

Is all bout a tax , is that simple, educate ( indoctrinate) the people to agree later being taxed , to pay a carbon tax. You don't believe? wait and see, but don't cry later! Just take a look at who is pushing the global warming agenda, who pay their checks, Follow the money....!

And there we are. Indeed, there are/were plans to (Worldwide) take in another 1500 Billion (!) $.

Imho, the core and sun are heating up, when you look at animals dying off in the Pacific, with those plenty images of the US West Coast dripping back into memory here, the several earthquakes, eruptions and let's not forget the rapid change down South, it becomes apparent.

Add the Chemtrails to that and it makes sense why they would try to block as much heat as they can. They can't tell us why because the money scam will come out. See, one last thing that has stood out for me, People burn faster in the Sun, what's more likely, the heat is more intense or the earth is warmer, dunno.

One of my past clients was head ‘Cheeto’ of NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which is a presidential appointee position. I asked him long ago about ‘global warming’ and he politely said in so many words it was a farce. He was being careful as he was still working as a consultant in the field at the time…. knowing this, I didn’t press him, it wasn’t too hard to read between the lines. Of all the people, this guy would know.

Also, I found the explanation given by Gregg Braden most helpful. One can’t ignore the Ice cores taken from Vostak Lake, Antarctica as they reveal over 420,000 years of weather! What’s revealed are cycles! For me, case closed as who can argue the patterns revealed by ice cores over 420,000 years old? Oh and by the way, scientists have known this since 1987! 1987!!! Climate change is real, but not for the reasons we've been told.

President Trump should love this. It will bolster his claims that climate scare stories are a ‘hoax.”
“Breaking: Fatal Courtroom Act Ruins Michael ‘Hockey Stick’ Mann,” reads the headline.
Lawsuit against Canadian Climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball concerning his statement that Michael Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State" may turn out to be a precise and true statement of fact.
______________________________________

4 July 2017 – “Penn State climate scientist, Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann commits contempt of court in the ‘climate science trial of the century,'” says this article on principia-scientific.org.
“Prominent alarmist shockingly defies judge and refuses to surrender data for open court examination. Only possible outcome: Mann’s humiliation, defeat and likely criminal investigation in the U.S.”
The author of the article, John O’Sullivan, expects the 79-year-old Ball to “instruct his attorneys to trigger mandatory punitive court sanctions, including a ruling that Mann did act with criminal intent when using public funds to commit climate data fraud.

Mann’s imminent defeat … will be both a legal and scientific vindication of U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a ‘hoax.'”
“President Trump was elected on a mandate to weed out climate fraud so his supporters will point to this legal outcome as vindication for a full purge. It makes a mockery of statements made by Mann last February when PSI’s Hans Schreuder and John O’Sullivan (http://principia-scientific.org/review-the-deliberate-corruption-of-climate-science-by-dr-tim-ballreview-the-deliberate-corruption-of-climate-science-by-dr-tim-ball/) publicly backed their colleague, Dr Ball and endorsed the revelations in his book. ”

EXCLUSIVE: Study Finds Temperature Adjustments Account For ‘Nearly All Of The Warming’ In Climate Data

A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

“Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published [global average surface temperature (GAST)] data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever – despite current claims of record setting warming,” according to a study published June 27 by two scientists and a veteran statistician.

Much of recent global warming has been fabricated by climate scientists to make it look more frightening, a study has found.

The peer-reviewed study by two scientists and a veteran statistician looked at the global average temperature datasets (GAST) which are used by climate alarmists to argue that recent years have been “the hottest evah” and that the warming of the last 120 years has been dramatic and unprecedented.

What they found is that these readings are “totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

Have any of you noticed, chemtrails have stopped?

I heard Trump signed an executive order on it, but this is the 2nd major heatwave since they quit...

Without the smoke and mirrors, global warming is going to become reality very quick...

So to answer the question, what was wanted, was to stop taxes being paid to bankers.

That is something everyone agrees on...

But the the Koch Cyber Science Denial group got on it and tossed out the word Tax...

From Climate Change Tax Denial, to Climate Change Denial in one word. Koch

Now everyone is confused, but it is simple, Climate Change is happening and mammals could be facing mass extinction. It is that serious.

What is going to happen now that Chemtrails stopped?

Delingpole: Global Warming Is Almost Entirely Natural, Study Confirms (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/22/delingpole-global-warming-is-almost-entirely-natural-study-confirms/)

[Ernie Nemeth]

When asked what I think of climate change I always say the same thing: it's true. The notion of change is intrinsic to climate. When asked what I think should be done about it I also always answer the same way: about what? If they add, about man-made climate change, I reply: stop raping the land.

Man has affected the local climate for many millennia primarily by incorrect land husbandry, it is nothing new.

In this instance and perhaps many others throughout history the rape was in the name of energy, either in the form of food, fuel, or power. Instead of sound stewardship and careful implementation of sustainable and non-lethal projects, the sources of energy have always been rapidly depleted until gone, regardless of consequences. Then the weather would change - and the climate, and the people either adapted, died or moved on.

I suspect this time is no different, except perhaps there is nowhere left to move to on this earth. But even though that seems to leave only one option, it does not. We can adapt.

The oilmen knew almost fifty years ago that the glory days were all but gone, and that what was left was the dregs of their former wells and already tapped fields. They have sequestered alternative modes of energy production and gathered the political will to go empire building, to secure more oil from abroad. With their political base firmly established they will now enter the final arm of their strategy: secure a lucrative fall back position as they divest of their former holdings in oil and gas. Thus the carbon tax, a sound adaptation on the part of the oilmen. Make money on it coming out of the ground and make money as it falls back out of the air.

When all is in turmoil and the populace are clamouring for a solution, when enough hardship has weakened the will of the people, when the mass riots turn from the empty supermarkets to city halls, then a new source of power will suddenly be found.

Or they may have their bases and select citizenry already established deep underground and on various extra-terrestrial worlds in the solar system and beyond. In which case we're on our own.

We will be forced to adapt. How that plays out is anyone's guess.

Bottom line? I'm all for climate change but I will not pay for it to arrive.

[uzn]

all other planet are heating up too, so it seems to be a solar system phenomena:

Entire solar system is heating up! Scientists blame solar warming
Nothing is stable, including the solar system. New evidence suggests the solar system is moving into a new energy zone which is altering the magnetic fields of the planets.
There is reason to believe Earth is not the only planet in the solar system undergoing climate change, meaning CO2 emissions are not the primary force responsible for the rise in global temperatures. Growth of the dark spots in Pluto, reports of auroras on Saturn, polar shifts in Uranus and changes in light intensity of Neptune suggests something very strange is happening in the solar system.
Many scientists suspect that the solar system has migrated to a region of the galaxy with high energy. We have the illusion that the sun is a nebulous ball of gas fixated in the sky that the rest of the solar system dances around. In reality, the sun is one star among many sitting on the outskirts of the Milky Way, hurtling through space at 72,000 kilometers per hour. Although the total amount of energy within the universe is conserved, pockets of energy in the Milky Way vary in intensity. The solar system may have rolled into one of these highly active regions.
Sun’s magnetic field increases in strength
The warming of the entire solar system has been supported by some scientists. One dramatic shift that is taking place is the strength of the sun’s electromagnetic field. According to a study by Dr. Mike at Lockwood Rutherford Appleton National Laboratories, in California, the sun’s magnetic field has increased by 230 percent within the last 100 years. The energetic changes in the sun radiate outward though solar wind, thereby increasing the charge of interstellar space.(1)
Another piece of evidence in favor of solar change is the sudden rise in galactic star dust. Ulysses, a space probe, has been monitoring the amount of star dust flowing through the solar system since 1992. The sun’s magnetic field impacts how much star dust drifts through the solar system. The magnetic field attracts more star dust as it strengthens.
Overflow of star dust in solar system
A reverse in the sun’s magnetic poles has opened the flood gates: the solar system is experiencing an overflow of star dust. The sun reverses its magnetic polarity every eleven years. The reversal takes place during the solar maxim, which is the peak of the 11 year solar cycle. As the sun’s magnetic field grows, it attracts more dust. Consequently, the amount of star dust in the solar system has increased three fold since 2003, which is heating up interstellar space.(2)
What is puzzling scientists is the amount of star dust that continues to flood the solar system even though the sun has calmed down. Scientists believe the sun’s polarity may have not completely reversed in 2001. Instead of reversing, from north to south, the poles may have flipped only half-way and now reside along the sun’s equator. This weaker configuration of the sun’s magnetic field has allowed two to three times more star dust to enter the solar system than in the late 1990s.(2)
The warming of Pluto
Another affirmation of solar change comes from Pluto. Pluto resides on the icy outskirts of the solar system near a giant shell of astronomical bodies know as the Oort Cloud. Although Pluto resides in the coolest regions of the solar system, the dwarf planet is heating up. Specifically, Pluto’s atmospheric pressure has increased by 300 percent, which is more than any other planet in the solar system. Even more paradoxical, Pluto’s atmosphere is becoming denser as it travels farther away from the sun. Due to this, scientists suspect Pluto is at the forefront of a high energy region of the galaxy that the solar system is beginning to reside in.
Their is no doubt that human activity is impacting climate change. Nevertheless, there are other forces outside the solar system that are effecting climate inside the solar system. Whatever the case may be, Earth can expect a rough ride as it travels through foreign warm waters.

I'm always astounded that humans in all of their so called intelligence and wisdom left out one major thing out from equations or just dismissed it as mostly irrevelant. That is of course the greatest dynamo near us, our dear sun. To claim that it isn't nearly completely responsible for our climate and it's changes is just ignorance taken almost to a moronic level. Which makes me question if it's only ignorance, deceit comes to mind too. Then again, I often have expected more from people when it comes to wisdom and have been highly dissapointed so who knows.

When in the very near future people will be freezing to death en masse, I wonder if the high popes of science still will claim it's man made global warming which is causing it. I'm sure the likes Al Gore will be enjoying his mansions and money thanks to the climate fraud.

Post meant as a joke, but might be misunderstood!

[Mad Hatter]

Mad Hatter dons his quizzical cap...

So, GreywolfBG... you are of a similar vintage to me thus would have lived through (admittedly in your early teens) the 'we are all going to die in the impending ice age scenario'.

Obviously neither of us did so, thus given that load of hyped up BS for the times I am curious as to why you so ardently believe in the what to me appears to be a repeat performance fine tuned to match the current... um... warming cycle?

Given your posts appear to reflect a level of intelligence indicating you have researched the matter in some depth and come to the conclusion(s) you obviously have, I am also curious to know if your deliberations included downloading and scrutinising the 'Climategate' email dump? If not, why not?

If you did then I'd like to know what you made of the comments within the modelling code which clearly indicated to me (given an IT background) the alarming potential for shall we say 'fudge factoring'... just the sort of thing that gave the world Manns hokey schtick.

Since then I have also wanted to know if within the current modelling code there is an allowance for regular inputs into the ionosphere of 3.5 GIGAWATTS of microwave power from but one of some purported 100+ installations planet wide capable of such things and here I am talking about H.A.A.R.P. type stations. No one seems to mention it, now why would that be? To test an 800 watt microwave oven you simply see if it boils a cup of water at the end of a two minute period.

Personally I find it hard to believe that within the purported 90% of scientists involved in the consensus viewpoint (not that consensus has anything to do with real science), that not a one has flagged that just maybe regular pummeling of parts of our atmosphere with potentially upwards of 300 Giga watts of microwave energy might be having some effect and if not on climate then at least the potential for changing the weather?

Is this down to ignorance on the part of all those scientists? I think not, for some yes, but it does beg the question of moral fortitude for those that are aware. Still if the gravy train is big enough I suppose the dilemma of what to do in Rome can arise...

For me answers to real world situations are invariably obtained via the maxim 'Cui Bono' and assuming you have an open mind on the subject if you are not familiar with a particularly sociapathic anthropoid known as 'Maurice Strong' you might like to factor him into your future deliberations on this subject matter. He was a prominent member of a body of like minded psychopaths collectively referred to as 'The Club of Rome' from which I will leave you with one of my favourite quotes as food for thought...

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

Forty years ago, the front page of the Chicago Tribune featured astrologer Jeanne Dixon, and a warning that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet was going to collapse and drown us all. That was during the global cooling scare.

It was one of the coldest winters on record in the US. It snowed in Miami, and they blamed the Polar Vortex and California drought on global cooling.

The National Geographic Archive | December 1977 | page 1 (https://archive.nationalgeographic.com/?iid=54262#folio=798)


The National Science Foundation Program Manager said that in 1977 that collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet nothing to do with a warmer climate.
"We're doing about the most we can do right now to study the possible collapse of the west ice sheet," said Dr. Richard Cameron, NSF program manager for glaciology.

'We're seeing the West ice sheet on its way out," said Cameron. "It seems to be doing something completely different than the east ice sheet. It has nothing to do with a warmer climate, just the dynamics of unstable ice."

21 Jul 1932 – A Warmer World. – Trove (https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/23150667)


A Warmer World.

SOME great world change is taking place on the Antarctic Continent. Its glaciers are shrinking. Commander L.A. Bernacchi, who visited the South Polar land 30 years ago, says that the Great Ice Barrier which fronts the continent with a wall of ice for 250 miles has receded at least 30 miles since it was first seen and surveyed. Sir James Ross, who went out on the earliest Antarctic expedition of the nineteenth century, and those who fol lowed him, left clear descriptions of this tremendous ice frontage and its position. It was a cliff 150ft. high and 1000ft. thick. But now it appears to be continuing its century-long process of shrinking; and that process may have been going on for centuries. But facts, history and data don't make any difference to climate alarmists. They have a huge money making scam to maintain, and will say anything to keep their criminal venture alive.

At the very least, charging us - we the people - in the form of a "carbon tax" is very much the scam. Where does the money go and exactly WHAT will it fix? (About as pointless as charging people for the use of the Sun or air!) ;) Oooops - I shouldn't joke... "they're" already charging for water!

There was something simular to an "Air-tax" on the Irish by the British some decades ago. If the Irish wanted more Windows they had to pay more "Window-tax".
It was called the Window tax.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax

Don´t say they are not imaginative.

http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/gfx/window_tax.jpg

When letting in sunshine could cost you money.
First imposed in England in 1696, Window Tax was repealed in 1851 after campaigners argued that it was a 'tax on health', and a 'tax on light and air', as well as being an unequal tax with the greatest burden on the middle and lower classes.
Originally introduced to make up for losses caused by clipping of coinage during the reign of William III, the tax was based on the number of windows in a house.
It was a banded tax. For instance, in 1747 for a house with ten to fourteen windows, the tax stood at 6d. per window, fifteen to nineteen windows, 9d., and exceeding twenty or more, 1s.. The tax was raised six times between 1747 and 1808. By then the lowest band started at six windows. This was raised in 1825 to eight windows.
The window tax was relatively easy to assess and collect as windows are clearly visible from the street.
As early as 1718 it was noted that there was a decline in revenue raised by the tax due to windows being blocked up. It was also observed that new houses were being built with fewer windows. In 1851, it was reported that the production of glass since 1810 remained almost the same despite the large increase population and building of new houses.
The complaints from the medical profession and enlightened individuals rapidly grew as the industrial revolution and urbanisation created mass housing and crowded cities, and raised the spectre of epidemics. They argued that the lack of windows tended to create dark, damp tenements which were a source of disease and ill-health.
The campaigners eventually won the argument and in 1851 the Act was repealed and replaced by a house tax. Punch Magazine celebrated its repeal with the cartoon shown above.
A tax on windows was also used in Scotland and France.

A tax on windows?!!! Who knew?!!

There have been many tax's that have come and gone over the centuries and some
supposed temporary ones like income tax brought in during WW1 has become
permanent and ever increasing. The most recent in the UK , 'Bedroom' tax which
is seen mainly a tax on the lower social end of society who rent from the various
council authorities. The aim is to not have spare bedrooms , so that if you live in a
four bed house and only have one child you have pay extra for the empty rooms.
Or move to a smaller house , which sounds great in a accountants office but can be
a social upheaval to the people involved , who may have live in an area while their
family grew up and do not wish to leave .

[Joe Akulis]

My current opinions:
- We are adding a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere that normally wouldn't have been contributed if not for all the increased industrial activity over the past century or two.
- CO2 does contribute to a "greenhouse" effect

What I don't know:
- Is that extra amount going to tip the scales and cause some kind of huge problem to life on earth?

What I care about:
1. Do we have a climate problem coming our way that could ruin this planet's ability to harbor life? If not then I'll move on to the next subject that catches my interest.

2. If the answer to concern number 1 is yes, then concern number 2 becomes: Is there anything mankind can do to change the course/prevent this climate problem that's coming? If the answer is no, then I'll stop stressing about that as well, and move on to the next subject that interests me. (After I buy an underground shelter, of course.)

3. If the answer to concern number 2 is yes, then I guess I'm interested in the shenanigans that people might be running in order to make money off the situation. Much like how we don't care about preventing cancer. We want earth to get cancer, that way we can profit from the treatment it'll need to "fight" it.

we can agree to disagree on CO2 and it's "greenhouse makery"

But, it also turns out we underestimated the amount of c02 release allowed by humans before we hit hte "1.5*" shift marker (touted as "the end" by global warming believers)... by 50%... which is... A LOT.

So lets just toss C02 out the window? (do c02 levels TRAIL or LEAD warming trends (hint: they trail)).

More and more studies confirm the climate change hoax is... a hoax.

Man-Made Climate Catastrophe Is a Myth, More Studies Confirm (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/10/10/delingpole-man-made-climate-catastrophe-is-a-myth-more-studies-confirm/)

One, a study by Scafetta et al, published in International Journal of Heat and Technology, confirms that the “Pause” in global warming is real – and that “climate change” is much more likely the result of natural, cyclical fluctuations than man-made CO2 emissions.


Abstract

The period from 2000 to 2016 shows a modest warming trend that the advocates of the anthropogenic global warming theory have labeled as the “pause” or “hiatus.” These labels were chosen to indicate that the observed temperature standstill period results from an unforced internal fluctuation of the climate (e.g. by heat uptake of the deep ocean) that the computer climate models are claimed to occasionally reproduce without contradicting the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGWT) paradigm. In part 1 of this work, it was shown that the statistical analysis rejects such labels with a 95% confidence because the standstill period has lasted more than the 15 year period limit provided by the AGWT advocates themselves. Anyhow, the strong warming peak observed in 2015-2016, the “hottest year on record,” gave the impression that the temperature standstill stopped in 2014. Herein, the authors show that such a temperature peak is unrelated to anthropogenic forcing: it simply emerged from the natural fast fluctuations of the climate associated to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. By removing the ENSO signature, the authors show that the temperature trend from 2000 to 2016 clearly diverges from the general circulation model (GCM) simulations. Thus, the GCMs models used to support the AGWT are very likely flawed. By contrast, the semi-empirical climate models proposed in 2011 and 2013 by Scafetta, which are based on a specific set of natural climatic oscillations believed to be astronomically induced plus a significantly reduced anthropogenic contribution, agree far better with the latest observations.

New York Times article “so full of nonsense that it is difficult to read”

By Joseph Kraig

This article is so full of nonsense that it is difficult to read.

There is no universal ice melt. Though the article says ice is melting world wide and the oceans are rising, it is simply not true. The oceans are not rising and in places where it was supposed to rise it has actually gotten lower. Greenland saw a faster and larger increase in ice this year than ever recorded. The Glaciers in Alaska and California are both getting larger.

While the sun appears the same day after day it is not. There have been major increases in ultraviolet emissions during the 80’s and 90’s, those emissions are now falling, dramatically.

As long ago as the Maunder Minimum it was known that fewer sun spots cause cooler weather. We are now in a time that is bringing us to a Maunder type of minimum or Grand Minimum.

While it is true that temperatures have been rising (and falling) since the end of the last glaciation we are at the end or what should be the end of the inter-glacial period. We should appreciate any warming we can get.

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is growing. Certainly humans contribute to that growth but the percentage of increase due to human industry is minuscule. In fact the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is minuscule. It has never been proven that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. There are much more effective greenhouse gases in our atmosphere such as water vapor and Methane.

There are other sciences discoveries that are changing the way scientist think about Global Warming. Who would have thought a couple decades ago that the stars sending their cosmic rays to us could affect our weather but they do, especially in solar minimums.

Ignorance rules our newspapers and much of society. The truth is out there for all to see but those who don’t like the truth, lie and know - because of our unwillingness to spend a little time reading - that we won’t know any better. I refuse to believe the lies of the Mainstream press apparatus.

Climate Change is always with us, it has been taking place ever since the planet developed an atmosphere.

I think one of the major conceptual errors which many folks to seem to make is that thinking the Earth's atmosphere is some kind of an Ideal entity, designed for human beings, and that we have somehow 'ruined it'.

I am not for one minute advocating that human pollution is not harmful, that would be madness. However I do think Al Gore, and the crew at the United Nations who are brewing up all of this catastrophic, human created 'warming' propaganda do so because they have an agenda.
I have looked at this issue for quite a while, I am a man of science, in terms of being an IT specialist, and educated to tertiary standard, I know the 'scientific method' - climate change has taken place in far more dramatic ways prior to the industrial revolution.

One of the best accounts for climate change is being presented by Ben, of The Suspicious Observers YouTube channel.
If you are interested in some authentic, science based alternative information, you can do a lot worse than to watch the playlists on Climate & space weather (https://www.youtube.com/user/Suspicious0bservers/playlists) of this channel. Al Gore is full of Sh!t. The sun is currently entering a quiet period.

Dr. Judith Curry Explains The Reality Of Bad Climate Science And Bad Politics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zk7Xfyv6k4

Published on 9 Aug 2017
Judith A. Curry is an American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth
and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research
interests include hurricanes, remote sensing, atmospheric modeling, polar climates,
air-sea interactions, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for atmospheric
research. She is a member of the National Research Council's Climate Research
Committee. As of 2017, she has retired from academia.Curry is the co-author of
Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans (1999), and co-editor of Encyclopedia
of Atmospheric Sciences (2002), as well as over 140 scientific papers. Among her
awards is the Henry G. Houghton Research Award from the American
Meteorological Society in 1992.Regarding climate change, she thinks that the IPCC
reports typically neglect what she calls the "Uncertainty Monster" in projecting
future climate trends, which she calls a "wicked problem." Curry also hosts a
popular science blog in which she writes on topics related to climate science and
the science-policy interface.

Judith Curry has argued that climatologists should be more accommodating of
those skeptical of the scientific consensus on climate change. Curry has stated she
is troubled by what she calls the "tribal nature" of parts of the climate-science
community, and what she sees as stonewalling over the release of data and its
analysis for independent review. In February 2010 Curry published an essay
called "On the Credibility of Climate Change, Towards Rebuilding Trust" on Watts
Up With That? and other blogs. Writing in The New York Times, Andrew Revkin calls
the essay a message to young scientists who may have been disheartened by the
November 2009 climate change controversy known as "Climategate". In September
2010, she created Climate Etc., a blog related to climate change and hosted by
Curry. She wrote that "Climate Etc. provides a forum for climate researchers,
academics and technical experts from other fields, citizen scientists, and the
interested public to engage in a discussion on topics related to climate science and
the science-policy interface."[8] She wrote: "I have a total of 12,000 citations of
my publications (since my first publication in 1983). Climate Etc. gets on average
about 12,000 ‘hits’ per day, and 300-400 comments." She gets " zero academic
credit or incentives for my blogging and tweeting," but hopes that " social media
and the associated skill set [will become] better recognized within the academic
system." Curry testified before the US House Subcommittee on Environment in
2013, remarking on the many large uncertainties in forecasting future climate. In
October 2014, Curry wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal where she argued
that human-caused warming near the end of the 21st century should be less than
the 2-degrees-Celsius “danger” level for all but the IPCC’s most extreme emission
scenario, which is far later than the IPCC prediction of a 2-degrees-Celsius warming
before 2040.

Records for highest ever hydro (electricity) consumption were broken several times in BC and Alberta.

BC recorded its worst ever year for wildfires in terms of hectares burned and number of fires.

The interesting part is that without all the persistent overhanging smoke from all the wildfires, it would have been much hotter yet. The smoke at least partly blocked out the sun the vast majority of the time, and in the mornings in BC when it was really smoky it was cool; when the smoke started to lift later in the day is when you could really start to feel the sun. but it was significantly cooler with the smoke blocking it -- far more effect than the sun being blocked by clouds - very noticeably more.

I wonder how hot it would have been had we not had the smoke?

From the Wikipedia page on the 2017 NA heatwave ...

Several daily record highs were set Thursday, Aug. 2, including: Medford, Oregon (109 degrees), The Dalles (108 degrees), Portland, Oregon (103 degrees), Eugene, Oregon (102 degrees), Olympia, Washington (96 degrees), Seattle (94 degrees), Santa Maria, California (88 degrees). Smoke covering much of the region (from wildfires in British Columbia, Canada) kept temperatures below all-time record levels.[6] In the first week of August, much of the Pacific Northwest was covered in haze, resulting in poor air quality. It was predicted to take at least another week to clear.[7]

Juneau, Alaska set record highs on August 5–6, during a week of highs in the 70s. Much of southeastern Alaska saw temperatures reach the 80s.[8]

On August 7, Seattle matched its all-time record for consecutive days without precipitation, with no end in sight

Anyway, just my anecdote, last summer was hotter than average as well, but not anywhere to this level.

the jig is up , they've already spun it from "warming" to "change" , seems everything is coming to a head , hence thier resorting to "last resorts"

Not sure who "they" are, but the term "climate change" was first popularized under the Reagan administration because James Watt said that global warming was too scary and wanted it removed from all speeches.

It was 106 degrees this summer in San Francisco. Hotter than the concurrent Burning Man festival in Black Rock Desert at a time when we normally wear jackets.

Have any of you noticed, chemtrails have stopped?

I heard Trump signed an executive order on it, but this is the 2nd major heatwave since they quit...

Without the smoke and mirrors, global warming is going to become reality very quick...

So to answer the question, what was wanted, was to stop taxes being paid to bankers.

That is something everyone agrees on...

But the the Koch Cyber Science Denial group got on it and tossed out the word Tax...

From Climate Change Tax Denial, to Climate Change Denial in one word. Koch

Now everyone is confused, but it is simple, Climate Change is happening and mammals could be facing mass extinction. It is that serious.

What is going to happen now that Chemtrails stopped?

I know everyone watching the movie thinks having 22% of the sun's energy should be great for cooling the planet, The part of the calculation everyine forgets is the energy bouncing off Earth which should fly into space, but 22% is sent back, again and again every second more energy being trapped inside the "Protection"...

I still see chemtrails -- geoengineering-- almost every day.

With the manipulation of weather by HAARP and chemtrails, the global warming debate just seems like a cover up or a distraction.

http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/hacking-the-planet-the-climate-engineering-reality/

There are weather anomalies happening in many places because of this chemical and EMF manipulation.

the jig is up , they've already spun it from "warming" to "change" , seems everything is coming to a head , hence thier resorting to "last resorts"

in my mind the important change in this is that carbon dioxide can no longer be villified (or taxed, though I believe the EU is alerady doing something like a carbon tax?) the "carbon" push was so huge.. If that's all that goes away due to the "change" instead of "warm" then I'll consider it a win.

It kind of also undercuts the anthropomorphic argument as well, which takes away the manipulation/control angle which I think was a desired outcome as well.

We had the coolest summer I've seen in 5 years; but also some pretty intense tropical weather (obviously, with 2 cat 5's hitting us).

For at least three decades scientists and environmental activists have been warning that the world is on the verge of a global warming "apocalypse" that will flood coastal cities, tear up roads and bridges with mega-storms and bring widespread famine and misery to much of the world.

The only solution, they say, is to rid the world of fossil fuels - coal, natural gas and oil - that serve as the pillars of modern society. Only quick, decisive global action can avert the worst effects of manmade climate change, warn international bodies like the United Nations, who say we only have decades left - or even less!

Of course, human civilization has not collapsed, despite decades of predictions that we only have years left to avert disaster. Ten years ago, the U.N. predicted (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/may/05/climatechange.climatechangeenvironment) we only had "as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more."

This failed prediction, however, has not stopped the U.N. and others from issuing more apocalyptic statements.

To celebrate nearly three decades of dire predictions, The Daily Caller News Foundation put together this list of some of the most severe doomsday prophecies made by scientists, activists and politicians:

1. Apocalyptic warnings on repeat
A group of 1,700 scientists and experts signed a letter 25 years ago warning of massive ecological and societal collapse if nothing was done to curb overpopulation, pollution and, ultimately, the capitalist society in which we live today.

The Union of Concerned Scientists put out a second letter (http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/letter-to-humanity-warning-climate-change-global-warming-scientists-union-concerned-a8052481.html) earlier this year, once again warning of the dire consequences of global warming and other alleged ecological ills. Now numbering 15,000, the group warns "soon it will be too late to shift course away from our failing trajectory, and time is running out."

"We must recognize, in our day-to-day lives and in our governing institutions, that Earth with all its life is our only home," the scientists and experts warned.

It's a terrifying warning - if you ignore the fact that none of their 1992 warning has come to fruition.

2. The planet will be "uninhabitable" by the end of the century
New York Magazine writer David Wallace-Wells published (http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/10/ny-magazine-publishes-7000-words-on-how-a-global-warming-apocalypse-may-come-sooner-than-you-think/) a 7,000-word article claiming global warming could make Earth "uninhabitable" by "the end of this century."

Wallace-Wells's article warned of terrors, like "Heat Death," "Climate Plagues," "Permanent Economic Collapse" and "Poisoned Oceans."

"Indeed, absent a significant adjustment to how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth will likely become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century," Wallace-Wells wrote.

3. Prince Charles's global warming deadline passed...and nothing happened
Prince Charles famously warned in July 2009 that humanity had only 96 months to save the world from "irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it." That deadline has passed (http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/09/we-just-passed-prince-charless-96-month-deadline-to-save-the-world-from-ecosystem-collapse/), and the prince has not issued an update to when the world needs to be saved.

Though the recently-released "Paradise Papers" show (http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/08/report-prince-charles-lobbied-for-a-climate-policy-that-benefited-his-own-investments/) Charles lobbied U.K. lawmakers to enact policies that benefited his estate's investment in a Bermuda company that does sustainable forestry. So, there's that.

4. 'Ice Apocalypse' Now
Liberal writer and climate scientist Eric Holthaus claimed (http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/24/liberal-writer-warns-an-ice-apocalypse-is-coming-heres-why-you-should-be-skeptical/) manmade global warming would set off the "ice apocalypse" at a pace "too quickly for humanity to adapt."

Holthaus warned the wholesale collapse of two Antarctic glaciers - Pine Island and Thwaites - could happen sooner than previously believed, resulting in "flooding coastal cities and creating hundreds of millions of climate refugees." Sounds terrible, but his conclusions aren't really backed up by the science.

"I think his article is too pessimistic: that it overstates the possibility of disaster. Too soon, too certain," Tamsin Edwards, a scientist who's studied Antarctica, wrote (https://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2017/nov/23/climate-change-how-soon-will-the-ice-apocalypse-come-antarctica?CMP=share_btn_tw) in The Guardian about Holthaus's article.

5. 2015 is the 'last effective opportunity' to stop catastrophic warming
World leaders meeting at the Vatican issued a statement (http://www.news.va/en/news/final-declaration-on-workshop-on-climate-change) saying that 2015 was the "last effective opportunity to negotiate arrangements that keep human-induced warming below 2-degrees [Celsius]."

Pope Francis wants to weigh in on global warming, and is expected to issue an encyclical saying basically the same thing. Francis reiterated that 2015 is the last chance to stop massive warming.

But what he should really say is that the U.N. conference is the "last" chance to cut a deal to stem global warming...since last year when the U.N. said basically the same thing (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/04/new-york-summit-is-last-chance-get-consensus-on-climate-before-2015-talks) about 2014's climate summit.

6. France's foreign minister said we only have "500 days" to stop "climate chaos"
When Laurent Fabius met with Secretary of State John Kerry on May 13, 2014 (http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/french-foreign-minister-500-days-avoid-climate-chaos_792736.html) to talk about world issues he said "we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos."

Ironically at the time of Fabius' comments, the U.N. had scheduled a climate summit to meet in Paris in December 2015 - some 565 days after his remarks. Looks like the U.N. is 65 days too late to save the world.

7. Former President Barack Obama is the last chance to stop global warming
When Obama made the campaign promise to "slow the rise of the oceans," some environmentalists may have taken him quite literally.

The United Nations Foundation President Tim Wirth told (http://junkscience.com/2011/12/23/wirth-2012-is-obamas-last-window-of-opportunity-to-get-it-right-on-climate-change/) Climatewire in 2012 that Obama's second term was "the last window of opportunity" to impose policies to restrict fossil fuel use. Wirth said it's "the last chance we have to get anything approaching 2 degrees Centigrade," adding that if "we don't do it now, we are committing the world to a drastically different place."

Even before that, then-National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center head James Hansen warned in 2009 (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/jan/18/jim-hansen-obama) that Obama only "has four years to save Earth."

8. Remember when we had "hours" to stop global warming?
World leaders met in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009 to potentially hash out another climate treaty. That same year, the head of Canada's Green Party wrote that there was only "hours" left to stop global warming.

"We have hours to act to avert a slow-motion tsunami that could destroy civilization as we know it," Elizabeth May, leader of the Greens in Canada, wrote (http://about<b></b>:blank) in 2009. "Earth has a long time. Humanity does not. We need to act urgently. We no longer have decades; we have hours. We mark that in Earth Hour on Saturday."

9. United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown said there was only 50 days left to save Earth
The year 2009 was a bad time for global warming predictions. That year Brown warned there was only "50 days to save the world from global warming," the BBC reported (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8313672.stm). According to Brown there was "no plan B."

Brown has been booted out of office since then.

10. The U.N.'s top climate scientist said in 2007 we only had four years to save the world
Rajendra Pachauri, the former head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in 2007 (http://www.climatedepot.com/2012/01/02/celebrate-un-ipcc-chairman-pachauri-its-too-late-to-fight-climate-change/) that if "there's no action before 2012, that's too late."

"What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment," he said.

Well, it's 2017 and no new U.N. climate treaty has been presented. The only thing that's changed since then is that Pachauri was forced to resign (http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/24/rajendra-pachauri-climate-scientist-resigned-sexual-harassment/) earlier this year amid accusations he sexually harassed multiple female coworkers.

11. Environmentalists warned in 2002 the world had a decade to go green
Environmentalist write George Monbiot wrote in the UK Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/dec/24/christmas.famine) that within "as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world's animals or it continues to feed the world's people. It cannot do both."

About 930 million people around the world were undernourished in 2002, according to U.N. data (http://www.fao.org/hunger/en/). By 2014, that number shrank to 805 million. Sorry, Monbiot.

12. Global warming apocalypse 1980s edition
The U.N. was already claiming in the late 1980s that the world had only a decade to solve global warming or face the consequences.

The San Jose Mercury News reported June 30, 1989 (http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SJ&s_site=mercurynews&p_multi=SJ&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB7304FF9A84273&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM) that a "senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000."

That prediction didn't come true 17 years ago, and the U.N. is sounding the same alarm today.

New Antarctic heat map reveals hot spots beneath the ice (https://www.iceagenow.info/new-antarctic-heat-map-reveals-hot-spots-beneath-ice/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/)

Geothermal heat sources suspiciously close to areas where the ice has been melting.
____________________

An international team of scientists led by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has produced a new map showing how much heat from the Earth’s interior is reaching the base of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The map was published last week (13 Nov 2017) in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

According to a press release from the BAS,
“the team has produced the most up to date, accurate and high-resolution map of the so called ‘geothermal heat flux’ at the base of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.”

https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Antarctic-sub-ice-hotspots-BAS.jpg
Map of geothermal heat beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet .


“Magnetic measurements mainly collected by aircraft reveal the ‘hot spots’ under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and on the Antarctic Peninsula. These areas are the most rapidly changing areas of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.” (Italics added).”

“The new study from BAS uses over 50 years of magnetic measurements that were collected from thousands of hours flying over the continent. Warmer rocks lose their magnetic properties, and so the team was able to use the loss of magnetism in certain areas to calculate an estimate of the geothermal heat flux.”
You’d think a discovery such as this would make it clear that geothermal activity is melting the ice. But oh, no, the BAS has other ideas.

Even though “the most rapidly changing areas of the Antarctic Ice Sheet” (areas where the ice is melting) are located in the same areas as the geothermal hotspots, the BAS seems unable to grasp that there may be a cause-and-effect relationship.
“The ice loss we’ve seen in recent decades is actually the result of changes in air and ocean temperatures,” says BAS Science Director and glaciologist Professor David Vaughan.
Uh huh. I wonder if Professor Vaughn also thinks El Niño (which warms the Pacific Ocean) is caused by humans.

Mexican snowpocalypse exposes all-out AGW fraud

Mexican snowpocalypse exposes all-out AGW fraud



By Kenneth Lund

The Snowpocalypse in northern Mexico (https://www.iceagenow.info/snowpocalypse-northern-mexico/) explains it all – the total and complete all-out fraud and exposed lie of global warming and the carbon tax since it all started back in the 70’s. People who were not sure before now understand that they were taken for a ride.

The fact that Mexico is frozen from coast to coast beneath the tropic of cancer is strong evidence of climatic cooling in the last 75 years – like most of us already knew. This would not be the case if it hadn’t turned colder since the 1940’s. Any of these past charts showing this supposed increase in surface temps between 1980 and 2000 is a complete misrepresentation of facts. If you look at the John Daly website of station temps in rural areas, (some dating back to late 1700’s) you see no change at all during that time frame. (plus the satellite record confirms that trend in the 80’s)

And since 2000, land areas have cooled by over 1 degree F, along with all-time record ice growth in Greenland, Antarctica and over 90 percent of glaciers growing.

GW is the biggest fraud and lie in the history of the human race since homo sapiens were first walking on the planet.

It is the next ice age we need to fear and the freezing of our crops.

We will be fighting in the streets for food long before we’re covered by ice.


*** Update ***

Kenneth Lund December 9, 2017 at 4:13 pm (https://www.iceagenow.info/mexican-snowpocalypse-exposes-agw-fraud/#comment-388494)

I nearly forgot to mention, that also includes Brownsville,TX and the deep south USA in stating that none of this record snowfall would be happening (especially in early December) if anything they were saying were true since the mid 70’s.


-----------------------------------------------


Jim Stone's testimony from down there, in Mexico:


IT IS SNOWING ALL OVER MEXICO (http://82.221.129.208/.zp4.html)

Update: The water did not freeze. Last night I put out a pan of water to see if it would freeze because it seemed cold enough to, but the weather warmed up overnight.

Highways are jammed with stuck semi's and are not moving at all. The Mexican states of Sonora, Chiuaua, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Durango, and Zacotecas are all experiencing freezing temperatures of -5 celsius or more during the day. It is obviously going to freeze in Aguascalientes and Guanajuato tonight.

The Mexican news showed scenes of highways in all the states above, and it looks like a snowpocalypse. Some areas are just good for snowball fights but they went through the states one at a time and several of them had snow so deep the semis were stranded on the highways. The video they showed had everything at a standstill

The tropics are defined as zones that do not freeze. Much of this snow zone is below the tropic of cancer. The entire country of Mexico is predominantly frozen from coast to coast. It has been decades since that has happened. This would be impossible if global warming was as advertised, and snowstorms really are a thing of the past. Al Gore just got exposed by an inconvenient truth!

Yes, and while Mexico is stuck in the snow, Mexicans are enjoying a very steep new U.N. mandated carbon tax!

Insanity all around... Global warming is a myth.

If media actually told the truth, what would happen to humanity. Would it awaken?
Now the media only feeds propaganda and lies which masses of people buy hook, line, and sinker.

Will anyone be ever held accountable for spinning the lies? I think not.

What was he saying about the grand solar something? I checked the links at the bottom, but I didn't see any information on that. Can someone guide me in a direction to learn more?

EDIT: I'm watching the vid Cidersomerset posted. This may be my answer. Thanks, C!

I know the sun has its cycles and activities, but I need to start with simple, basic information. Some of the information I've seen is hard to relate to. I need a big picture viewpoint. Real. Scientific. No agendas.

Thanks responders!

PS. We were used to driving in the snow in Michigan. But when I drove through Georgia once when it snowed, people were off the road and all over the place! Being prepared makes a HUGE difference.

The grand solar minimum which translates to a mini ice age or to a maunder minimum. All are related.

In the next few years, or in the 2020's we could possibly see the sun going without any sunspots and the effects of that will be felt here on Earth. We already are feeling it.

If someone tells you that the sun isn't the main driver of all weather and climate on Earth and in our solar system, they simply don't know what they're talking about or they're lying.

Eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death: 1816, The Year Without a Summer (https://connecticuthistory.org/eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death-1816-the-year-without-a-summer/)

By Shirley T. Wajda


Reverend Thomas Robbins may have thought he had seen it all. After all, a decade earlier he, as a Congregational missionary, traveled to the frontier lands of New Connecticut in northeastern Ohio, where he endured torrential summer downpours, deep winter freezes, and a variety of temperamental fevers and chills. That experience—a long three years—broke his health, and he returned to Connecticut to recuperate. Now, in 1816, he lived in East (now South) Windsor, where he enjoyed a comfortable house, an enviable collection of books (which became the core of the Connecticut Historical Society), and the busy schedule of a minister.

As he had done since 1796, Robbins recorded in his diary the weather and, if not the weather, his activities that revealed the weather. In the first days of March 1816, Robbins planted peas. A week later he noted that the day was “quite warm.” Three days later, on March 12, he noted that it was “cold and wet.” It snowed, and two days later the ground was “considerably frozen.” He would not attempt to replant peas until the end of April.

This was the pattern for the rest of 1816, a year in which famine occurred in New England, remembered for years as “the year without a summer,” “eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death,” and the “poverty year.” In April, Robbins cleared his asparagus beds, “but the weather is so cold that vegetation does not appear to advance at all.” In May, the fruit trees bloomed, a hopeful sign, but three weeks into the month several great frosts occurred, threatening the fruit and ruining planted crops. Cold winds blew in June, so much so that “most people that are out wear great coats” and “a steady fire is required.” (The clockmaker Chauncey Jerome, then living in Plymouth, wrote years later, “I well remember the 7th of June. While on my way to work, about a mile from home, dressed throughout with thick woolen clothes and an overcoat on, my hands got so cold that I was obliged to lay down my tools and put on a pair of mittens which I had in my pocket.”) On June 9, Robbins observed that “the cold and wind still continue. The last three days have been extraordinary. It is said that there was snow at the northward last Thursday.” Confirmation of that snow appears in a later entry. On June 10, Chauncey Jerome’s wife “brought in some clothes that had been spread on the ground the night before, which were frozen stiff as in winter.”

Snow in the northwestern part of the state and frost in the southeastern part of the state were ruinous. Williams College professor Chester Dewey observed that “the trees on the side of the hills, whose young leaves were killed by the frost, presented for miles the appearance of having been burned or scorched. The same appearance was visible through the country—in parts, at least, of Connecticut—and also, on many parts of Long Island.”

July, August, and September brought a contrary mix of snow, drought, and oppressive heat. On August 22 Robbins arose to find frost on the ground. The next day he observed that “the ground gets no relief from its drought.” On August 24 it was “warm” but “things grow very little.” The next day he and his congregation “had a very moderate and very refreshing rain,” but three days later Robbins noted “this morning there was considerable frost. It is a melancholy time. There was a fast here yesterday on account of the season.”

At the height of harvest season, on September 5, Robbins confided to his diary, “I presume no person living has known so poor a crop of corn in New England, at this season, as now.” By the end of the month frost had killed much of the corn crop. The low temperatures of the summer months of 1816 spelled disaster for Connecticuters. Farmers had little wheat and corn to take to market. Animals had little to eat. Prices for staples such as flour and meat rose for consumers and the drought caused forest fires, filling the skies with smoke.

Note: I left off the last part of the article as it was incorrect. Namely "Scientists also confirm that, during increased sunspot activity, the earth’s temperature is reduced."

Though it also mentions 4 volcanic eruptions as the potential driving factor of that poor summer.

So here (https://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/2017/11/01/future-volcanic-eruptions-will-screw-with-climate-change/) we find..


The effects of a “volcanic winter” occur as the ash and smoke from an eruption obscure rays from the sun, decreasing their ability to heat the Earth. When Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, thousands of people died instantly, and it is considered the most destructive eruption on Earth in 10,000 years. The dust and gas it emitted into the atmosphere altered global climate for a year afterward, which is why 1816 is known as “The Year Without a Summer.” Global temperatures dipped so severely that crops failed, even in places far away from the volcano. Farms in the northern United States suffered frost damage in August, as did farms in Europe. The massive volcanic eruption triggered a global subsistence crisis, which is estimated to have killed an additional 10,000 people.

The grand solar minimum which translates to a mini ice age or to a maunder minimum. All are related.

In the next few years, or in the 2020's we could possibly see the sun going without any sunspots and the effects of that will be felt here on Earth. We already are feeling it.

If someone tells you that the sun isn't the main driver of all weather and climate on Earth and in our solar system, they simply don't know what they're talking about or they're lying.

We are practically at the "no sunspots" point right now... the sun is SUPER quiet.

They say there's one sunspot today, but it's so small it's not visible to me. (https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity)

Unusually Bold Climate Fraud from the UN – Video (https://www.iceagenow.info/unusually-bold-climate-fraud-un-video/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) December 13, 2017 (https://www.iceagenow.info/unusually-bold-climate-fraud-un-video/)

Tony Heller exposes yet more global warming fraud. He also comments on that starving polar bear.
________________________

As to that starving polar bear, I flew over Baffin Bay on Saturday (9 Dec 17), where sea ice is slightly above normal, says Tony. Whatever made this polar bear too weak to hunt has nothing to do with global warming or sea ice.


ypunE4YCqWQ
Leaving polar bears aside, in this video Tony attacks a new article entitled “Global warming may harm children for life.”

Citing U.N. sources, the article claims that by 2070 the number of days with the mean temperature above 32°C will rise from one per year right now, to 43 days per year.

“There’s so many things wrong with this claim that it’s difficult to begin.” says Tony.

To begin with, 32°C is 90°F.

A day with a 90°F mean temperature is extremely hot. An example would be a day with daytime temperatures above 100°F, and nighttime temperatures above 80°F. There are very few places in the U.S. where this could even happen, says Tony.

Especially when you realize that the trend for days when the temperature has exceeded 90°F have been declining – declining! – for the past century, since 1917.

This phony narrative is also being pushed by Stanford and M.I.T., formerly respectable institutions, says Tony.

As a graduate of MIT’s Earth, Planetary, and Atmospheric Sciences department – in the deep and distant past, when they knew and admitted that the SUN is the source of long-term climate cycles on this planet – I am disgusted by the department’s pandering to this ANTI-scientific balderdash.

SOME of us still know, and freely admit, that the nuclear furnace ~92million miles away in space is the source of most of our major climate changes. With some help from local phenomena like volcanoes and the like.

[Wind]

From Spaceweather.com:

"100 Days of spotlesness: As of yesterday, Dec. 18th, the sun has been without spots for 100 days in 2017. The last time the sun crossed this threshold was in 2009 (260 spotless days) when the solar cycle was just beginning to rebound from a century-class Solar Minimum. This time we are entering a new Solar Minimum. In 2018 we can expect at least twice as many spotless days (200+) as blank suns once again become the norm."

And now a new cooling phase will truly commence.

[Wind]

Over the past few days I've read news about record low temperatures (https://www.iceagenow.info/) in different places, especially in the US.

The new mini ice age (grand solar minimum) has barely begun and already we're seeing these kind of things. Something to consider about.

Wet dream of climate dictators: Climate skeptics to be exiled to 'international convict settlements' (http://joannenova.com.au/2018/01/wet-dream-of-climate-dictators-skeptics-exiled-to-penal-colonies-on-antarctic-islands/)

Tony Thomas has unearthed a ten year old document that reads like a wet dream for mini-climate dictators (http://quadrant.org.au/opinion/doomed-planet/2018/01/green-from-instinct-to-jackboots/). It envisages, by 2028, that the first climate skeptics will be convicted of denying the existence of climate change and exiled to three penal colonies in, wait for it, Kerguelen Island, South Georgia and New Zealand's South Island. Magically, these are "International convict settlements." So it's globalist prisons for the deplorables who say unpermitted things, because they are so bad, we wouldn't want them mixing with normal criminals back home who believe in climate change but rort the carbon markets.

Luckily their fantasy fiction is even less accurate than climate models. By 2030 they are tippin g Africa as an economic powerhouse:
2030 ... the global economy today is less dominated by the big three of China, India and the US. Instead, economic blocs such as the African Union, the Latin American Trade Council and the Alliance of Turkic States have emerged as powerful players on the scene. As Tony Thomas points out they also estimated oil would rise from $150 in 2008 to $400 by 2022. So far it has risen all the way to $60. They also predicted a global depression in 2009-18. Instead we got "Dow Record highs ". I guess they didn't see Donald Trump coming either.

And by 2020 they predict that not only will there be no snow in the Northern Hemisphere, there will be "No more Winter." Though I expect Canadians and Americans are disappointed to know that five feet of snow can still fall in a New Year "spring".

This dream is so wet it should come with flood warnings:
"In most cases this [emissions control] has happened gradually, ratcheting up over time, with citizens surrendering control of their lives piecemeal rather than all at once, as trading regimes, international law, lifestyles and business have responded to the growing environmental crisis.

"Expensive, state-funded information campaigns reinforce the need for changes to lifestyles and aim to keep the mandate for state intervention strong. Inevitably parallels are drawn between this and the authoritarian state propaganda of the twentieth century.

"'Climate crime' is a social faux pas everywhere, but in some countries it is a crime to publicly question the existence of anthropogenic climate change or to propose actions that could in some way contribute to climate change.

"It is very rare to come across dissenting voices with any real power, but resistance to overly strong state intervention is occasionally violent. The media in some countries has been permitted to discuss ... The climate futures fantasy would also look like manna for simple sheeple who ache to get off the treadmill, grow kale, and tye-dye hemp shirts, but don't have the balls to go do it unless everyone is forced to join them.

Over 31K scientists sign a petition against the global warming agenda (https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-09-21-over-31000-scientists-say-global-warming-is-a-total-hoax-now-theyre-speaking-out-against-junk-science.html)

Over 31,000 scientists have united against the political agenda of global warming. The scientific consensus, which includes over 9,000 scientists with Ph.D.s, supports the necessity of carbon dioxide and sheds light on the agenda of global warming, which includes industrial energy rationing, central economic planning, and global taxation schemes. These scientists are now speaking out against the (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiPIvH49X-E&feature=youtu.be) hoax of global warming and how global agreements to limit greenhouse gases are actually destructive to all plant and animal life on the planet.

The petition (http://www.petitionproject.org/index.php), which includes important peer-reviewed research, is backed by various scientists with a wide spectrum of expertise. The petition warns the United States about signing international treaties that only put a financial burden on the citizens of the country, steal national sovereignty, and restrict its energy production. The global warming alarmism, in other words, is pseudo-warfare designed to take down a country.

A letter from Frederick Seitz, President of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, is also being circulated with the petition. The letter warns about the flawed science against carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is essentially a miracle molecule of life (https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-05-09-carbon-dioxide-revealed-as-the-miracle-molecule-of-life-for-re-greening-the-planet.html), not a dangerous pollutant that needs to be eradicated from the atmosphere. His letter also shines a light on the dangers of the U.S. entering global treaties which will ration energy and confiscate the Nation's wealth.

Just because climate alarmist Al Gore can walk a stage, point to a graph, and correlate rising temperatures over oceans with a rise in greenhouse gases, does not make global warming a real issue or some kind of "settled science" that is going to destroy the planet. As the scientists point out, the vapor pressure of CO2 over sea water is temperature dependent. It's natural for the two data sets to go up together. It's not something to be alarmed about.

The petition urges elected leaders to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997 and all other proposals similar in nature. Thankfully, President Trump broke the U.S. free (https://naturalnews.com/2017-06-06-trump-just-saved-america-from-the-disastrous-paris-climate-treaty-fraud.html) from the Paris Climate Accord. Removing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide would actually hurt the planet, taking away the compound that plants need to thrive. If carbon dioxide is so bad for the planet, why do greenhouse growers buy CO2 generators to double plant growth?

The petition and its accompanying research dispel the myth that projected carbon dioxide levels are going to cause a catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and the disruption of climate. The evidence is actually in favor of greenhouse gases, which are beneficial to plant and animal environments on Earth. The petition also takes aim at the global warming agenda, and says that it will hinder the advancement of science and technology around the world. The confiscation of U.S. energy output is a threat to U.S. sovereignty and the nation's ability to offer aid to other countries. What if climate change alarmists just took a deep breath, exhaled some carbon dioxide, and actually focused on real pollutants (https://naturalnews.com/2017-06-05-ten-alarming-real-threats-to-the-environment-ignored-by-climate-change.html) that are plaguing our environment and health?

Carbon taxes and tricky laws that, by what I surmise so far, will play into the hands of the globalists through weather warfare, disaster "relief" schemes, and corporatized government in private hands.
???[public-private partnerships; land grabs; funding stipulations; facade of citizen involvement when controls are in place]???

The agenda is becoming known, but not fully understood. Because of weaponized language that deceive people into supporting these schemes, innocent people are falling for this. So far.

They use terms like: sustainability, economy, environment, energy efficiency, etc.

Their methods are subtle, but they are seeping in to our communities.

Before I knew much, if anything, about Agenda 21 and the purpose of the global warming/climate change agenda, I went to a "Summer Institute on Sustainability" for teachers and I kept the materials. We got 2 credits from Portland State University for attending this program. What seems to be happening is that there are codes being developed that could become law for control over people and their energy use.

I will include some pictures from the materials they gave us.

Inculcate the teachers so they will inculcate the students, then let the students inculcate their parents. Is that the plan? Seems like it. Or at least one facet.

I'm in research mode -- looking at what is happening with this here in my community, and seeing how much it has progressed up to now. I was not as alert to what was going on before the California fires and the Deborah Tavares information.

The map EVERY Australian should see: With the country set to shiver through the coldest ever winter - just how low could the temperature get near you?

Australia is heading towards it's coldest winter on record predicts David Taylor, who runs the Brisbane Weather and East Coast Weather Facebook pages.

If the prediction comes to fruition Australians could be facing winter temperatures chillier than those ever recorded.

Daily Mail Australia has compiled a map to show the lowest July temperatures ever recorded using the Government's Bureau of Meteorology climate data search function.

It shows Canberra could be headed for a freezing -8C.


Mr Taylor, who has correctly predicted major weather events in the past, said that the icy conditions would impact huge areas of Australia.

'It will be slightly cooler than normal in the north but the real cold will be in the southern states and southeast Queensland,' he told The Cairns Post.

'I wouldn't be surprised if there is snow in places where it hasn't snowed for a long time.'

Mr Taylor has explained that his forecast formula uses changes in sunspot activity, along with Global Forecast System modelling, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast.

Mr Taylor said tracking sunspot activity has enabled him to successfully predict weather events in the past.

He was lauded for correctly predicting that 600mm of rain would fall in Townsville on February 28.

Another Endangered Species? (https://www.iceagenow.info/another-endangered-species/)

Ice, not global warming, is the big killer and this recurring calamity often strikes quickly.

Another Endangered Species?

By Viv Forbes
30 March 2018

Earth is a dangerous place. Of all the species that have ever lived, over 95% have already been extinguished by natural disasters.

Ice, not global warming, is the big killer and this recurring calamity often strikes quickly. Thousands of mammoths and other animals were killed by ice storms and their snap-frozen bodies are still entombed in ice around the Arctic. Just 15,000 years ago great ice sheets smothered the northern hemisphere as far south as Chicago, Moscow and London and all life had migrated towards the equator. This deadly ice had gripped Earth for about 50,000 years.

Ice ages are also times of dry winds and drought as cold oceans and cold dry atmospheres produce little evaporation or precipitation. Great deserts like the Sahara and the Gobi expand, and wind-blown dust fills the skies and rivers.

Adding to Ice Age woes, cold oceans suck the gas of life (carbon dioxide) out of the atmosphere, thus making surviving plants less able to cope with cold and drought. One of the great serendipities of modern life is that man’s use of carbon-rich fuels like oil and coal not only provides energy but also adds carbon dioxide plant food to the severely depleted carbon stocks of the atmosphere. Satellites have detected the resultant greening of the Earth.

Earth also suffers cycles of volcanism where much life is extinguished by ash, lava, earthquakes and tsunamis, usually followed by more cold and starvation as dust blocks sunlight. Just one era of volcanism covered the Deccan in India with many lava flows in places more than 2 km thick and spewed hot lava into the oceans along the mid-ocean trenches. Earthquakes and resulting tsunamis swept all life from large areas of land and dumped and buried their fragmented remains in heaps of mud.

We also have evidence of massive destruction on Earth from collisions and near misses by comets and other bodies in the solar system.

Humans are not immune to the threat of extinction, but it will not come from today’s warm, moist, atmosphere or from the gas of life, carbon dioxide. It will probably come from the next glacial cycle in the Pleistocene Ice age, where long bitter glacial eras are separated by short warm periods such as the Holocene warm era in which we live.

In every short warm era like today’s Holocene, the warming oceans expel enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to terrify today’s global warming alarmists. And these times have always supported abundant plant and animal life. But never has “global warming” from this “greenhouse gas” prevented the cyclic return of the ice.

When blizzards blow and glaciers grow, the great ice sheets will spread again and mankind will be decimated by cold, drought, crop failures and starvation. A lucky few living in equatorial regions or clustered in shelters and hot houses around nuclear power stations will survive. Those still able to extract coal, oil or gas may manage to generate enough warmth and carbon dioxide plant food to offset the cold sun, the perma-frost and the barren atmosphere. And a few with appropriate skills and tools may become hunters and gatherers again (but the Neanderthals did not make it last time).

We should celebrate, not fear, the Modern Warm Era and give thanks for the many benefits gained from recycling those marvellous batteries of stored and buried carbon resources to our still-hungry biosphere.

When the ice returns, derelict and snow-bound wind turbines and solar panels will remain as stark evidence of the failed Green religion of yet another endangered species.

The Dark Story Behind 'Man-Made Global Warming,' Those Who Created It - And Why (https://journal-neo.org/2018/10/16/the-dark-story-behind-global-warming-aka-climate-change/)

https://www.sott.net/image/s24/492850/large/CH56452323221.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s24/492850/full/CH56452323221.jpg)

The recent UN global warming conference under auspices of the deceptively-named International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded its meeting in South Korea discussing how to drastically limit global temperature rise. Mainstream media is predictably retailing various panic scenarios "predicting" catastrophic climate change because of man-made emissions of Greenhouse Gases, especially CO2, if drastic changes in our lifestyle are not urgently undertaken. There is only one thing wrong with all that. It's based on fake science and corrupted climate modelers who have reaped by now billions in government research grants to buttress the arguments for radical change in our standard of living. We might casually ask "What's the point?" The answer is not positive.

The South Korea meeting of the UN IPCC discussed measures needed, according to their computer models, to limit global temperature rise tobelow 1.5 Centigrade above levels of the pre-industrial era. One of the panel members and authors of the latest IPCC Special Report on Global Warming, Drew Shindell, at Duke University told the press that to meet the arbitrary 1.5 degree target will require world CO2 emissions to drop by a staggering 40% in the next 12 years. The IPCC calls for a draconian "zero net emissions" of CO2 by 2050. That would mean complete ban on gas or diesel engines for cars and trucks, no coal power plants, transformation of the world agriculture to burning food as biofuels. Shindell modestly put it, "These are huge, huge shifts (https://fortune.com/2018/10/04/climate-change-management-drastic-change/)."

The new IPCC report, SR15, declares that global warming of 1.5°C will "probably" bring species extinction, weather extremes and risks to food supply, health and economic growth. To avoid this the IPCC estimates required energy investment (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/10/14/ipcc-achieves-net-zero-credibility/) alone will be $2.4 trillion per year. Could this explain the interest of major global banks, especially in the City of London in pushing the Global Warming card?

This scenario assumes an even more incredible dimension as it is generated by fake science and doctored data by a tight-knit group of climate scientists internationally that have so polarized scientific discourse that they label fellow scientists who try to argue as not mere global warming skeptics, but rather as "Climate Change deniers." What does that bit of neuro-linguistic programming suggest? Holocaust deniers? Talk about how to kill legitimate scientific debate, the essence of true science. Recently the head of the UN IPCC proclaimed, "The debate over the science of climate change is well and truly over."

What the UN panel chose to ignore was the fact the debate was anything but "over." The Global Warming Petition Project, signed by over 31,000 American scientists states,
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth (https://www.petitionproject.org/)." 'Chicken Little'
The most interesting about the dire warnings of global catastrophe if dramatic changes to our living standards are not undertaken urgently, is that the dire warnings are always attempts to frighten based on future prediction. When the "tipping point" of so-called irreversibility is passed with no evident catastrophe, they invent a new future point.

In 1982 Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP), warned the "world faces an ecological disaster as final as nuclear war within a couple of decades unless governments act now." He predicted lack of action would bring "by the turn of the century, an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust." In 1989 Noel Brown, of the UN Environmental Program (UNEP), said entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. James Hansen, a key figure in the doomsday scenarios declared at that time that 350 ppm of CO2 was the upper limit, "to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted." Rajendra Pachauri, then the chief of the UN IPPC, declared that 2012 was the climate deadline by which it was imperative to act: "If there's no action before 2012, that's too late (https://www.climatedepot.com/2018/10/08/un-issues-yet-another-climate-tipping-point-earth-given-only-12-more-years-to-make-unprecedented-changes-in-all-aspects-of-society/)." Today the measured level is 414.

As UK scientist Philip Stott notes,
"In essence, the Earth has been given a 10-year survival warning regularly for the last fifty or so years. ...Our post-modern period of climate change angst can probably be traced back to the late-1960s... By 1973, and the 'global cooling' scare, it was in full swing, with predictions of the imminent collapse of the world within ten to twenty years...Environmentalists were warning that, by the year 2000, the population of the US would have fallen to only 22 million. In 1987, the scare abruptly changed to 'global warming', and the IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was established (https://www.climatedepot.com/2018/10/08/un-issues-yet-another-climate-tipping-point-earth-given-only-12-more-years-to-make-unprecedented-changes-in-all-aspects-of-society/) (1988)..." Flawed Data
A central flaw to the computer models cited by the IPCC is the fact that they are purely theoretical models and not real. The hypothesis depends entirely on computer models generating scenarios of the future, with no empirical records that can verify either these models or their flawed prediction. As one scientific study concluded,
"The computer climate models upon which "human-caused globalwarming" is based have substantial uncertainties and are markedly unreliable. This is not surprising, since the climate is a coupled ,non-linear dynamical system. It is very complex (https://www.petitionproject.org/gw_article/GWReview_OISM150.pdf)."
'Coupled' refers to the phenomenon that the oceans cause changes in the atmosphere and the atmosphere in turn affects the oceans. Both are complexly related to solar cycles. No single model predicting global warming or 2030 "tipping points" is able or even tries to integrate the most profound influence on Earth climate and weather, the activity of the sun and solar eruption cycles which determine ocean currents, jet stream activity, El ninos and our daily weather.

An Australian IT expert and independent researcher, John McLean, recently did a detailed analysis of the IPCC climate report. He notes that HadCRUT4 is the primary dataset used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to make its dramatic claims about "man-made global warming", to justify its demands for trillions of dollars to be spent on "combating climate change." But McLean points to egregious errors in the HadCRUT4 used by IPCC. He notes,

"It's very careless and amateur. About the standard of a first-year university student."
Among the errors, he cites places where temperature "averages were calculated from next to no information. For two years, the temperatures over land in the Southern Hemisphere were estimated from just one site in Indonesia." In another place he found that for the Caribbean island, St Kitts temperature was recorded at 0 degrees C for a whole month, on two occasions. TheHadCRUT4 dataset is a joint production of the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre and the Climatic Research Unit (https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/10/07/35779/) at the University of East Anglia. This was the group at East Anglia that was exposed several years ago for the notorious Climategate scandals of faking data and deleting embarrassing emails to hide it. Mainstream media promptly buried the story, turning attention instead on "who illegally hacked East Anglia emails (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/6679082/Climate-change-this-is-the-worst-scientific-scandal-of-our-generation.html%20)."

Astonishing enough when we do a little basic research, we find that the IPCC never carried out a true scientific inquiry into the possible cases of change in Earth climate. Manmade sources of change were arbitrarily asserted, and the game was on.

Malthusian Maurice Strong
Few are aware however of the political and even geopolitical origins of Global Warming theories. How did this come about? So-called Climate Change, aka Global Warming, is a neo-malthusian deindustrialization agenda originally developed by circles around the Rockefeller family in the early 1970's to prevent the rise of independent industrial rivals, much as Trump's trade wars today. In my book, Myths, Lies and Oil Wars, I detail how the highly influential Rockefeller group also backed creation of the Club of Rome, Aspen Institute,Worldwatch Institute and MIT Limits to Growth report. A key early organizer of Rockefeller's 'zero growth' agenda in the early 1970s was David Rockefeller's longtime friend, a Canadian oilman named Maurice Strong. Strong was one of the early propagators of the scientifically unfounded theory that man-made emissions from transportation vehicles, coal plants and agriculture caused a dramatic and accelerating global temperature rise which threatens civilization, so-called Global Warming.

As chairman of the 1972 Earth Day UN Stockholm Conference, Strong promoted an agenda of population reduction and lowering of living standards around the world to "save the environment." Some years later the same Strong restated his radical ecologist stance:
"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about (https://www.infowars.com/maurice-strong-in-1972-isnt-it-our-responsibility-to-collapse-industrial-societies/)?"
Co-founder of the Rockefeller-tied Club of Rome, Dr Alexander King admitted the fraud in his book, The First Global Revolution. He stated,
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill... All these dangers are caused by human intervention...The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."
Please reread that, and let it sink in.

Humanity, and not the 147 global banks and multinationals who de facto determine today's environment, bear the responsibility.

Following the Earth Summit Maurice Strong was named Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, and Chief Policy Advisor to Kofi Annan. He was the key architect of the 1997-2005 Kyoto Protocol that declared manmade Global Warming, according to "consensus," was real and that it was "extremely likely" that man-made CO2 emissions have predominantly caused it. In 1988 Strong was key in creation of the UN IPCC and later the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change at the Rio Earth Summit which he chaired, and which approved his globalist UN Agenda 21 (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/paris-climate-change-conference/12035401/Farewell-to-the-man-who-invented-climate-change.html).

The UN IPCC and its Global Warming agenda is a political and not a scientific project. Their latest report is, like the previous ones, based on fake science and outright fraud. MIT Professor Richard S Lindzen in a recent speech criticized politicians and activists who claim "the science is settled," and demand "unprecedented changes in all aspects of society." He noted that it was totally implausible for such a complex "multifactor system" as the climate to be summarized by just one variable, global mean temperature change, and primarily controlled by just a 1-2 per cent variance in the energy budget due to CO2. Lindzen described how "an implausible conjecture backed by false evidence, repeated incessantly, has become 'knowledge,' used to promote the overturn of industrial civilization (https://www.thegwpf.com/top-scientist-shoots-the-climate-change-alarmists-down-in-flames/)."

Our world indeed needs a "staggering transformation," but one that promotes health and stability of the human species instead.

The Big Chill - Early Winter Onslaught
Great article from Dr. Mark Sircus's email update today
(Lots of hyperlinks in this article, and I hope it can be accessed soon on his site--too many to include here)
https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/O2G9mGgATHFp2U7g56Py_9-ug4_vkz5PibjLqDHa2IMeNpSRwJc6_6CAWMWVrU_WrQf8XhopksEBtK83pQGeNWIGnFM-F6kRO3vzgGErzZxhPWmDwI40WV7-7ZXldmrv2Pai9wyV=s0-d-e1-ft#https://d1yoaun8syyxxt.cloudfront.net/zw363-94ef6da3-5987-497a-9a5c-377a843e048b-v2
"For the month of October, we have enough climate news to fill a book. It is all over the press. Seems like the “planet is even closer to catastrophe than scientists previously predicted.” Climate change is taking us literally by storm hitting us in the face, and below the belt as agricultural production is affected. This month we read headlines as deadly as: Can Civilization Survive What’s Coming? People are freaking out, rightfully, but for the wrong reasons. Wildlife populations are plummeting in face of human activity but that has nothing to do with temperature change and everything to do with pollution as we poison our planet with massive amounts of heavy metals, chemicals, plastics and radiation.

"Some people express very high levels of stress relating to climate change and even report panic attacks, obsessive thinking, loss of appetite and even insomnia because of their concerns about climate change," says psychologist Honey Langcaster-James.

Global warming pundits know that they can consistently get away with saying anything they want with total impunity and they do. In fact, they have created a split in science. As we shall see in this essay the US’s leading scientific body has bought hook, line and sinker the global warming con even as NASA, scientists, climatologists and weathermen are exclaiming we are racing towards a “Space Age record for cold”.

“Research studies are these days (improperly) designed to accomplish the affirmation of the hypothesized outcome, as opposed to examining the truth of a hypothesis,” writes Doug Casey.

Manmade global warming believers have been shouting from every rooftop that we have been passing through the warmest climate in modern times but the facts, the kind that physicists pay attention to, imply that we are getting colder, so cold that winter has already arrived in many places with the snow to prove it. In the section further below is some hard science, the latest from NASA’s Langley Research Center. There is cause for alarm as we see it is getting dramatically colder fast in the outmost reaches of the atmosphere as well as on the surface.

At the end of October, we read these headlines: Record early opening for New Hampshire ski resort! Earliest opening ever at Vermont Ski Area. Winter conditions in Norway. Heavy snow brings traffic chaos in Finland. Winter conditions are prevailing; see video of Turkey already buried in snow. Winter arrived in Scotland. Spain winter starting like last winter, the worst in about 100 years. We even have snow in Morocco, two months early and in Algeria snowfall was so heavy that the Army intervened to provide assistance in snow removal. blocked roads and tracks and in northern Italy tourists are already trapped by record snow.

Winter actually started to touch the northern hemisphere in September when we saw the Netherlands had their Coldest September night in 47 years on 16 September. Temperature at weather station near Enschede dropped to -1.5 degrees. It has not been that cold in September since 1971. We had record cold in Poland where it was minus 7.9, on the 25th of September. “But if there was no fog, it would even have minus 11,” wrote meteorologist Arnold Jakubczyk.

Winter came in force at the end of September in the Rocky Mountains. In Germany – Coldest September morning since weather records began! In Zwiesel in the Bavarian Forest, the old record was minus 1.7 degrees, in the previous night there were minus 2.6 C degrees. Also, in Nuremberg it was -5 C, the coldest on any September 26th ever recorded!

Harvesting wheat in North Dakota – 10 Oct 2018

Record early snowfall in Kansas City was reported on the 15th of October where is was the earliest snowfall in at least 120 years, since 1898. Most snow in 15 years in October and the month was only half over and record cold smashes into the 35F below normal category in Texas and Northern Mexico. Cold all the way into Mexico on the 16th of October. “High temperature of 50°F (at midnight) in Dallas-Fort Worth is really sad, says meteorologist Dr Ryan Maue. “It’s also a super record … Coldest daytime high on record for any day up until October 20th.” It was the chilliest so early in the season by a full week (besting Oct 22, 1936.)

Not only in Dallas, Oklahoma City and Kansas City, widespread record lows were recorded both Monday and Tuesday across the western half of the country. The cold extended all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, bringing the coldest day on record, or close to it, to much of the Plains.

Ian Livingston for the Washington Post wrote, “Widespread lows in the teens and 20s have been common at low elevations, dipping to the single digits to near zero in the high terrain. A large section of the region has seen temperatures running 12 to 20 degrees below normal over the past week. The past two days have been as cold as any on record – or the coldest on record – for this time of year from Montana through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Colorado, across much of the southern Plains and into Texas.” Just what we would expect to hear in a dangerously warming world.

What do the Real Scientist Say
We have heard a hundred times how 97 percent of scientists believe in manmade global warming, but physicists know “Votes don’t count in science. There is no “extensive evidence” except repetition of invalid claims,” says Dr. Edwin Berry, who happens to have a Ph.D. in Physics. He, like other scientists, look down their noses at the insistence that global warming is caused by CO2 emissions, which it is not and that is made especially evident because it is cooling not warming despite the increased parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Dr. Tony Phillips explains scientifically why we are facing global cooling instead of global warming: “The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018, and the sun’s ultraviolet output has sharply dropped. New research shows that Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding.” “We see a cooling trend,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.”

“The thermosphere always cools off during Solar Minimum. It’s one of the most important ways the solar cycle affects our planet,” explains Mlynczak, who is the associate principal investigator for SABER. When the thermosphere cools, it shrinks, literally decreasing the radius of Earth’s atmosphere.

UK set to have coldest Halloween in 100 years. -5C with snow predicted. Odds have been slashed from 7/2 to just 3/1 on this season being a record-breaking winter.

However, the latest global warming propaganda reads: “Nearly every day, peer-reviewed studies on global warming warn that deadly impacts will come sooner and hit harder than once thought. Virtually none, however, suggest that previous predictions of future heatwaves, droughts, storms, floods or rising seas were overblown.” How many peer-reviewed pharmaceutical studies do we have telling us that toxic drugs are good for your health?

People and politicians who believe in manmade global warming do not include the sun in their calculations nor the voices of scientists that just don’t roll over and play dead like idiots. Climate warming believers will not listen to NASA or any source that hints that manmade global warming is a fantasy. However, we cannot blame people for not paying too much attention to NASA since they are not the most coherent organization in the world.

If you look on NASA’s site, you will see a page that says the sun’s conveyer belt is speeded up but in 2006, on another page they said:

https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/ur36G9KYeE6aUe__LVYPra2X_WzjhiyUvnoKAzfqtZm5IoMv1-okUmepbjk0_ge0WnZJaHOYp3-sCU3k1rHkMvWdc819IrCB2HrQb-Wr6lThYVs_bt6BkkDXbJbLeUMn_t-AZOM2=s0-d-e1-ft#https://d1yoaun8syyxxt.cloudfront.net/zw363-e596e438-b923-4790-b3e3-6809e68ad36d-v2
The Sun’s Great Conveyor Belt slowed to a record-low crawl, according to research by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. “It’s off the bottom of the charts,” he said. “This has important repercussions for future solar activity.”

The Great Conveyor Belt is a massive circulating current of fire (hot plasma) within the Sun. It has two branches, north and south, each taking about 40 years to perform one complete circuit. Researchers believe the turning of the belt controls the sunspot cycle, and that’s why the slowdown is important.

“Normally, the conveyor belt moves about 1 meter per second—walking pace,” says Hathaway. “That’s how it has been since the late 19th century.” In recent years, however, the belt has decelerated to 0.75 m/s in the north and 0.35 m/s in the south. “We’ve never seen speeds so low.”

According to theory and observation, the speed of the belt foretells the intensity of sunspot activity ~20 years in the future. A slow belt means lower solar activity; a fast belt means stronger activity. “The slowdown we see now means that Solar Cycle 25, peaking around the year 2022, could be one of the weakest in centuries,” says Hathaway. Here we are at a peak period in Solar Cycle 24 and the sun is quiet but it’s going to get a lot quieter and a lot colder.

“The sun is headed for a very rare, super-cooling period that threatens to topple civilization itself as it has throughout history roughly following a 300-year cycle,” writes Martin Armstrong. Yet we read in Rolling Stone magazine that one of the leading climate scientists of our time is warning of the horrifying possibility of 15-to-20 feet of sea-level rise.

A major new climate report slams the door on wishful thinking
The IPCC, the most corrupt scientific organization in the history of mankind says, that even the most optimistic scenario for climate change is dire. This is true yet its not global warming that is threatening modern civilization it is plunging world temperatures. This small group of scientists was established by the United Nations; however, some politicians are already poking fun at them saying:

“They might as well be calling on me to sprout wings and fly to Canada for the summer,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), a climate change skeptic, said of the actions urged by the report. “It’s totally unrealistic,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said. “They must have parachuted in from another planet.

India – Farmers suffer massive destruction due to heavy snowfall. Untimely heavy snowfall badly damages apple orchards. Also, cauliflower, cabbage and potato were ready for harvesting but heavy snowfall covered the entire district.

The actual figure of “97% refers only to climate scientists who are actively publishing in scientific journals about manmade global warming—which is ending up to be nothing more than a massive collective hallucination.

Unseasonable cold delays western Manitoba harvest – Losses in the millions. “The cereal crops have been hit the hardest, with wheat, barley and oats all suffering. The brutally cold and snowy weather that hit Manitoba during harvest time will likely cost farmers millions of dollars, according to Keystone Agricultural Producers.” “When we start adding the acres and what the potential loss is, you know, this could get into the millions easily,” warned farm policy and lobby organisation president Bill Campbell.

Record-breaking cold and snowfall across B.C. According to Environment Canada, B.C. broke 39 cold-weather records Wednesday the 10th of October. In Clinton, the temperature on Wednesday plunged to -14.2ºC, “smashing the old mark of -5 set in 2012.” In Prince George, the mercury dipped -12.1ºC, breaking the old record of -9.4 set in 1950.

Canada: sea ice prevents crucial supply deliveries to isolated communities
Paulatuk, Kugluktuk and Cambridge Bay were unable to receive shipments of food, fuel and lumber. How come all these cold stories are not seen in the manmade global warming press? How come we are seeing ice so extreme even icebreakers couldn’t get through? The ice has been described by officials as “extreme.” Even the Canadian coast guard’s largest icebreaker in the region – the Louis St Laurent – was unable to help break open a channel for the barges. In Paulatuk, the shelves of the grocery store are quickly becoming bare as non-perishable items like flour quickly disappear.

Heavy snowfall further hampers already delayed harvest in Alberta
“Snowing here in southern Alberta (again…still) and today’s high will be 0°C which is 16 degrees C below average!! That’s 29 F degrees BELOW average! Harvest across Alberta is way behind. “Based on annual averages over the last five years, approximately 80 per cent of crops should have been harvested by this time. This year, only 40 per cent of harvesting has been completed.”

Conclusion
It is interesting to see how deep the rabbit hole goes with climate change. New York state's attorney general filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil, alleging the oil giant misled investors regarding the financial risk it faces from climate change. Scientists want a Manhattan style project to created giant machines to suck CO2 from the atmosphere, and psychologists are reporting that people are freaking out over climate change.

Though it is true that we are suffering from climate change most of the suffering being caused is media generated. The mainstream media and the elite that own all the broadcast channels have been twisting the collective consciousness of humanity with self-serving lies. When the cold and snow records can not longer be hidden, and humanity discovers the deceit, there will be an incredible unwinding just like there promises to be soon in financial markets."

George Carlin: The Planet is Fine

Ah, dear George.

By way of a relevant interlude, I quote:



"And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these ****ing people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven’t learned how to care for one another, we’re gonna save the ****ing planet?

Here's 8 minutes of gold from George delivered with customary elan (and the transcript - with some forgiveable typos - which somebody kindly made the effort to document here (https://gospelofreason.wordpress.com/2007/05/24/george-carlin-the-planet-is-fine/))


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W33HRc1A6c

The transcript:





We’re so self-important. So self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these ****ing people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven’t learned how to care for one another, we’re gonna save the ****ing planet?

I’m getting tired of that ****. Tired of that ****. I’m tired of ****ing Earth Day, I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world save for their Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don’t give a **** about the planet. They don’t care about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are ****ed. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We’ve been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we’re a threat? That somehow we’re gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floatin’ around the sun?

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles…hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages…And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet…the planet…the planet isn’t going anywhere. WE ARE!

We’re going away. Pack your ****, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Thank God for that. Maybe a little styrofoam. Maybe. A little styrofoam. The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance.

You wanna know how the planet’s doing? Ask those people at Pompeii, who are frozen into position from volcanic ash, how the planet’s doing. You wanna know if the planet’s all right, ask those people in Mexico City or Armenia or a hundred other places buried under thousands of tons of earthquake rubble, if they feel like a threat to the planet this week. Or how about those people in Kilowaia, Hawaii, who built their homes right next to an active volcano, and then wonder why they have lava in the living room.

The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new pardigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?” Plastic…asshole.

So, the plastic is here, our job is done, we can be phased out now. And I think that’s begun. Don’t you think that’s already started? I think, to be fair, the planet sees us as a mild threat. Something to be dealt with. And the planet can defend itself in an organized, collective way, the way a beehive or an ant colony can. A collective defense mechanism.

The planet will think of something. What would you do if you were the planet? How would you defend yourself against this troublesome, pesky species? Let’s see… Viruses. Viruses might be good. They seem vulnerable to viruses. And, uh…viruses are tricky, always mutating and forming new strains whenever a vaccine is developed. Perhaps, this first virus could be one that compromises the immune system of these creatures. Perhaps a human immunodeficiency virus, making them vulnerable to all sorts of other diseases and infections that might come along. And maybe it could be spread sexually, making them a little reluctant to engage in the act of reproduction.

Well, that’s a poetic note. And it’s a start. And I can dream, can’t I? See I don’t worry about the little things: bees, trees, whales, snails. I think we’re part of a greater wisdom than we will ever understand. A higher order. Call it what you want. Know what I call it? The Big Electron. The Big Electron…whoooa. Whoooa. Whoooa. It doesn’t punish, it doesn’t reward, it doesn’t judge at all. It just is. And so are we. For a little while.

Greatest two-year global cooling event in 100 years – Media ignores it (https://www.iceagenow.info/greatest-two-year-global-cooling-event-in-100-years-media-ignores-it/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) November 24, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/greatest-two-year-global-cooling-event-in-100-years-media-ignores-it/)
“We Just Had Two Years Of Record-Breaking Global Cooling,” says this article in Investor’s Business Daily.

“NASA data show that global temperatures dropped sharply over the past two years.”

“Writing in Real Clear Markets (https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2018/04/24/did_you_know_the_greatest_two-year_global_cooling_event_just_took_place_103243.html), Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising,” says IBD. From February 2016 to February 2018,

“global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius.” That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century.”
Wouldn’t you consider this to be newsworthy?

Apparently it wasn’t.
“In the three weeks following the Real Clear Markets story, no other news outlet picked up on it,” IBD continues.

“They did, however, find time to report on such things as tourism’s impact on climate change, how global warming will generate more hurricanes this year, and threaten fish habitats, and make islands uninhabitable.

Their window of opportunity to use global warming or global man-made climate change, to justify global remedies, is indeed closing rapidly.

Man-made (oops - that's a gender biased term) global warming due to such issues as CO2 emissions will soon become another joke.

I wonder what the would-be global controllers will use next to try to pull the wool over our eyes.

It's just occurred to me that one big reason why the elite have been so busy building underground cities and bunkers is likely because of the Grand Solar Minimum (or Maximum...) and what a great camouflage the whole global warming scam was, because the first conclusions that were jumped to had to do with threats from outer space and the like, when the real reason may have been much more obvious.

This comment by Wm Craig Barnard ties into my thoughts so well about fighting in the streets for food long before we’re covered by ice that I felt compelled to post it.

Better to be a little prepared than not at all.

Wars will be started over food and by those who will seek to take possession and control of what will be temperate farm lands.

By Wm Craig Barnard

For we farmers who observe temps for good reason and have crops of food and want to validate what we observe, I can officially say mother nature IS turning against us. It is getting colder, weather patterns are shifting along with our usual growing seasons. We have lost two years of blueberry crops and our fruit tree’s are having a very difficult time producing fully ripened fruit.

For those who poo poo the notion of current cold changes affecting our food supply, you won’t be ready and I wont be helping you.

I would encourage everyone that can to grab a supply of freeze dried foods. Better to be a little prepared than not at all. It will give you time to adjust to changing conditions.

Times will become bad enough that people you know will seek your aid for food. If you pull out freeze-dried foods they will know or suspect that you are well prepared. They will eventually seek to take what you have either by demand or force. Things will be so dire that they will take your life so that you can’t follow after them to recover your much-needed food, or to seek retribution.

These will be bad times, worse than anything we have experienced as humans on this earth. By design our governments have created an environment where there is no possible way for the general population to be ready. How does one prepare for 40 years of bitter cold or 350 years if current concerns are true?

People will die by the hundreds of millions and plagues unlike anything we have experienced will erupt unexpectedly. Wars will be started over food and by those who will seek to take possession and control of what will be temperate farm lands. Look into China’s ghost cities in Africa. Note their locations. China has seen every one of their Dynasties collapse due to these periods of solar minimums. They know, and are as prepared as any nation can be. America is totally unprepared and our leaders (excluding President Trump) are lying to us.

It doesn’t matter if it becomes very apparent in 3 months or 10 years. Either way we must do what is required to prepare as best we can in the near term to assure we have some possibility of security for our families in the long term.

Be well and I wish you all the very best.

The newest reports are saying that the icy weather will be upon us so soon, that most people will be unaware, much less prepared, and that could certainly lead to chaotic conditions. Empty shelves in grocery stores will not make for a happy or peaceful populace.

[Franny]

A question I have had is...how does one protect ones garden, farm animals and food supply and property from hungry hoards 24 hours a day?

Is one prepared to turn away all those asking for food? Is one prepared to shoot to kill everyone that shows up to plunder the garden and supplies. Little kids as well as adults? Can one buy and store enough ammunition to protect their family for 10 plus years? What to do about the bodies on the perimeter of one's property?

Many say they are prepared with food, supplies and weapons, but are they?

These are not slyly accusatory questions, but real questions I've had whenever the subject comes up. Even if I had a few years worth of freeze dried food, I'm on my own and would have no real way to defend myself 24 hours a day.

I have considered forming local or neighborhood groups and even spoken to a few that seemed more open, but so far no one really believes they need to get together and prepare for something like this.

In Hawaii most food eaten is imported, most food grown is exported, it's truly insane. But no one that I have spoken with here is really interested in working towards changing this in any truly significant way or being prepared for a disaster such as this. There are some groups that are working towards growing more food here but there is so little real interest in doing what's needed to prepare to feed everyone for a normal future let alone a disaster that it's baffling.

I think this is the main agenda here. I remember discussing this on one of my earliest threads. cant find it anymore. Control of food supply is one very effective way to control people. have you heard of "carbon sequestration"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration "Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide[1] or other forms of carbon to mitigate or defer global warming. It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuel".
what was the 31000 scientist saying is no different to what I believe. Less carbon dioxide less plants and yes less oxygen. So effectively with carbon sequestration they can control the food and oxygen we breath.

>The Revolt of the “Yellow Vests”

Jack & Jill Public are starting to fight back.

By Viv Forbes

For decades now, working people, tax payers and retirees have been battered by the Green elites who shelter in well-paid tax havens like the UN and Greenpeace.

These Green elites have been supported by fellow travellers like the Clintons, Obama and Hollywood in America; Merkel in Germany; David Cameron, Prince Charles, David Attenborough and the BBC in UK; Macron in France; Gillard, Turnbull, Flannery and the ABC in Australia; the Trudeau dynasty in Canada; plus ranks of pious clerics, scheming oil sheiks, green energy speculators and guilt-stricken big business executives.

This powerful elite has waged ceaseless war on the coal and nuclear power that provides cheap reliable electricity, on the farmers and fishermen who provide food, and on those who refine and manufacture things. They tax the diesel vehicles that provide transport and recreation for ordinary people and fill their suburbs and welfare rolls with imported “refugees”. They have captured their schools and universities that now provide more indoctrination than education. Green dogma infests the government media that people used to trust and is destroying the industries that once gave them well-paid jobs.

But Jack & Jill Public are starting to fight back.

The rise of Donald Trump in the US, Marine Le Pen in France, the Brexiteers in UK, political re-alignments in Denmark, the election of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and now the sudden revolt of the “Yellow Vests” in Paris all show that an increasing number of people are fed up with their green overlords.

Australians are now joining this undercurrent of revolt. It is shown by the dethroning of closet-green PM Turnbull, the rise of dissident groups like the energy-focussed “Monash Forum”, the “Advance Australia” movement, the rural-based “Green Shirts” and the surprising early support for “The Saltbush Club” which urges Australia to exit immediately from the Paris Climate Agreement

ANOTHER Nobel Laureate-- Climatology is a "Joke" - Nobel Laureate Dr Kary Mullis
Published on May 3, 2018

"Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis is correct in his assessment of the current state of climate science, describing it as a "Joke".
As he correctly points out, there is no scientific evidence whatever that our CO2 is, or can ever "drive" climate change.
There is also no published empirical scientific evidence that any CO2, whether natural or man-made, causes warming in the troposphere.

Mullis earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta in 1966, he then received a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1973.

“Climate Change News has published a helpful glossary of technical terms that it thinks are most important during the Katowice, Poland “climate summit,” says Paul Driessen.

“Analyzing the list reveals a great deal about what is really going on there. For starters, not one word in this glossary addresses climate change. The 30,000 activists, bureaucrats and other “forward thinking” folks at the IPCC confab are actually designing a New World Order, not saving the planet. Their real focus is on how they will change the world, who is going to pay for that – and who is going to be in charge.”

“Science and logic analyst David Wojick explains it all in this revealing article – which outlines how the UN and its minions are using “climate change” as a smokescreen for planetary governance.”

Climate summit language reveals real but hidden agenda

The goal isn’t saving Earth from climate disaster – it’s changing the world order

David Wojick, PhD

People complain all the time about UN jargon. But the technical language of the Katowice, Poland climate summit is actually very revealing. It is all about changing the world order.

Words exist because there is something important to talk about. Words also embody basic beliefs. In this context, it is very useful that the ever-green Climate Change News has published a Glossary (http://www.climatechangenews.com/2018/11/30/know-ndcs-lmdcs-climate-diplomacy-glossary/) of the 32 technical terms they think are most important in Katowice.

These folks are designing a New World Order
Analyzing this list tells us a great deal about what is really going on there this week. To begin with, not one word on the list addresses climate or climate change. That means calling this a “climate summit” is just a semantic smokescreen. These folks are designing a New World Order. The primary focus is how the world will be changed and who is going to pay for it – and who is going to be in charge.

In fact, the largest group of terms includes those that refer to the various political alliances at the New World Order design table. There are twelve such groups, plus the term “negotiating group” itself. These are groups of countries that feel they share enough of a common interest to team up. Thus a full 41% of the technical terms refer to interest groups.

The largest negotiating group by far is called the G77 + China. Despite the old name, this group has 134 member countries. I have no idea why China gets special mention, except it is by far the most powerful member.

These are the countries that stand to benefit immensely from the new world order, because its central feature is enormous, never-ending payments from the so-called developed countries to the developing countries.

(I say so-called because the USA is still developing. It’s also important to recognize that the more these rich developed nations are forced to reduce their fossil fuel use, de-industrialize and pay money to developing countries like China, the less developed and wealthy they will become, the lower their living standards will be, the less they will be able to make the never-ending payments.)

Africa has its own group, since those countries stand to make more money per capita then any other region. (Most likely, though, most of that money will go to their kleptocratic ruling elites.)

The United States is part of something innocuously called the Umbrella Group, which includes many developed countries outside of the EU, which is a group of its own. Brexit appears not to have happened here, because the UK is not listed separately from the EU.

Katowice is all about a New World Order, not climate change
The avowed Socialists from the Western Hemisphere even have their own group of eleven countries, further demonstrating that this Katowice business is all about a New World Order, not climate change. Mind you these Socialists are not the only anti-capitalists at the table; far from it.

The next largest language group comprises five wealth transfer terms. The definition specifically says that this is “a central element” of the New World Order (which it calls “international cooperation,” which presumably alludes to the “international community” and “civil society”).

One of these terms is “climate finance.” However, it is not about financing climate, whatever that might mean. It is about the developed countries paying for everything the developing countries do in the name of stopping, or at least adapting to, supposedly human-caused climate change. Annual payments of $100 billion (!) are supposed to begin in 2020, but may well rise thereafter if developing countries decide they need (and will demand) more, which they no doubt would. The more they demand or receive, the more money they will expect to get.

Every hurricane, drought, wildfire, snowstorm and flood is now attributed to human-caused climate change
But this $100 billion a year is by no means the big ticket when it comes to payments. That honor belongs to something called “loss and damage. This is basically “compensation for” all of the damage allegedly caused by climate change – which now appears to include all bad weather. Every hurricane, drought, wildfire, snowstorm and flood is now attributed to human-caused climate change, not to mention sea level rise. All must be compensated.

The Paris Accord acknowledges loss and damage, but stops short of requiring the developed countries to pay for it. That they do pay is certainly part of the New World Order agenda. The tentative figure put out by the UN is $400 billion a year, but it could easily get much bigger. There is a lot of bad weather in the world.

One of the sneakier wealth transfer terms is “technology transfer.” In the US, this term is widely used to mean the licensing of new technologies to companies, who then move them from the laboratory to widespread use. At Katowice, the term means something entirely different, including the unlicensing of technologies.

Forcing companies to waive their patents (Shades of Atlas Shrugged)
The idea is that companies holding patents will waive them, to allow developing countries to manufacture the patented stuff free of charge. It can even mean that these companies build manufacturing facilities and train the workers, also for free. I am not making this up.

Then there are various important words referring to other aspects of the New World Order, as well as to specific actions to be taken along the way. Chief among these are the “Nationally Determined Contributions” (NDCs), which are what each country (sort of) promises to do to reduce its emissions and the scourge of “dangerous manmade climate change.”

The NDCs are defined as “climate targets,” but of course they are not target climates. They are milestones on the way to the New World Order. As with most of this UN summit language, “climate” is a code word. The NDCs are to be renewed every five years, including in 2020, so this is another hidden agenda item in Katowice.

Using “climate change” as a smokescreen for "planetary governance”
In short, what is on the table at Katowice is moving toward a New World Order, in the name of dealing with supposedly human caused climate change. One of the central elements is a vast wealth transfer from the developed countries like the USA to the developing countries. Another is the reduction or elimination of national sovereignty, in favor of control and decision-making by the United Nations, international community, “negotiating groups” and New World Order.

This is something the UN has always wanted to do, and the climate change scare is their grand chance to do so – or so they think anyway. Tens of thousands of national negotiators from around the world are hard at it in Poland.

The language is deliberately deceptive. But once you understand it, things get pretty clear. Language is like that.

Using “climate change” as a smokescreen for "planetary governance”
Yeah - where "developed" nations are the "givers" and the "developing" nations (of which China is numero uno) are the "takers", of production, technology and resources.

I am reminded of this famous story of Winston Churchill's off color humor:

From https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/300099-churchill-madam-would-you-sleep-with-me-for-five-million

Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"
Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"
Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price."
My pessimistic guess is that the "developed" nations (such as the one I live in) are just haggling over the price.

Here's another good talk, from July of 2017, that makes an excellent case that "Global Warming" and the associated efforts to reduce "green house gases" (especially CO2) and to adopt renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are ... a major scam.

The Youtube blurb for this video introduces the speaker and provides an overview of the topic:

Steve Goreham is a speaker, an author, a researcher on environmental issues, and an independent columnist. He’s the Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America, a non-political association dedicated to informing about the realities of climate science and energy economics. Steve gave this presentation at the Friends of Science 'Climate Dogma Exposed' event in Calgary on May 9th 2017. He says "contrary to what your political leader, professor, and newspaper tell you, global warming is dominated by natural factors. As a result, thousands of climate and energy laws across hundreds of nations, all summed together, are not going to have a measureable effect on Earth’s temperatures."

Five Fact About Climate Change – Video (https://www.iceagenow.info/five-fact-about-climate-change-video/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) December 21, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/five-fact-about-climate-change-video/)

“The earth has experienced at least 17 ice ages,” says Tim Donner. "On 17 occasions during the last two million years the earth has cooled off so much that we had gigantic glaciers stretching from the North Pole as far south as Kentucky that were as much as two miles thick.”

“And on 17 different occasions, for reasons scientists still don’t understand, those ice ages came to an end, and all of those gigantic sheets of ice melted – with zero man-made emissions.”

“Actual warming of the planet has still not been detected during the entire 21st century,” says Donner.

“There has been absolutely no rise in temperatures over the last 20 years.”

And in direct contradiction to Al Gore’s famous warning about an ice free Arctic, during 2018 the Arctic ice cap has actually grown.

Unusually cold winters have occurred, contrary to warmists predictions. (Of course now they’ve morphed into ‘climate change’ predictions.)

A question I have had is...how does one protect ones garden, farm animals and food supply and property from hungry hoards 24 hours a day?

I have 4 of these

Beautiful dogs :)

This raises more questions. How to keep others from shooting the dogs and how to feed them for as long as needed? Of course we could keep going with endless questions.

Are the best solutions to be wealthy and build one of those underground bunkers with food growing and endless energy capability and all kinks previously worked out by experts?

There is an article that may be posted on the forum about a man that was called in to talk to people about his field of expertise. He found, however, that the five men wanted to know how to survive a serious holocaust, how to keep the people protecting them working and loyal; collars were mentioned.



In Hawaii most food eaten is imported, most food grown is exported, it's truly insane.


same here in the Virgin Islands (except almost nothing is grown here commercially), that will shift when food becomes more in demand, we are pretty adaptable, us humans ;)

We are but we may need to smacked upside the head first ;)

Latte, you have asked some interesting questions. My answer to a number of your questions regarding how to protect your food supply is sprouts. It is so easy to grow sprouts in jars inside your home. They are extremely nutritious and you can get great protein if you use grow the correct ones. Storing the sprouting seeds is easy and the whole process is economical. I am always a bit surprised that preppers don't look into this. It is a wonderful way to get fresh, vital produce..you could even grow them if you are on the move. The only time of year I cut down on my sprouts is when I have lots of food from the garden in the summer.

They have been a major part of my diet for years now and attribute my good health at least in part to eating them on a regular basis. My dogs love them too!!!

Environmentalism a tool for global domination, says top Brazilian diplomat (https://www.iceagenow.info/environmentalism-a-tool-for-global-domination-says-top-brazilian-diplomat/)

“Climate is basically a globalist tactic of instilling fear for more power.”
– Ernesto Araújo
Brazil’s new foreign minister believes climate change is part of a plot by “cultural Marxists” to stifle western economies and promote the growth of China.

In a post entitled “Hijack and pervert,” Ernesto Araújo, the top diplomat of South America’s biggest nation, posted his opinion of the environmental movement.

The tactic of the Left essentially consists in the following:
to sequester legitimate causes and noble concepts and to pervert them to serve their political project of total domination.
Over time, the left has sequestered the environmental cause and perverted it to the point of paroxysm over the last 20 years with the ideology of climate change, The Climate. The Climate gathered some data suggesting a correlation of rising temperatures with increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, ignored data suggesting the opposite, and created a “scientific” dogma that no one else can contest on pain of being excommunicated from good society – just the opposite of the scientific spirit.

This dogma has served to justify an increase in the regulatory power of states over the economy and power of international institutions over national states and their populations, as well as to stifle economic growth in democratic capitalist countries and foster China’s growth. (An important part of the globalist project is to transfer economic power from the West to the Chinese regime, a key part of Trump’s project is to disrupt that process, which is already happening.)

The Climate is basically a globalist tactic of instilling fear for more power . The Climate says:
“You there, you’re going to destroy the planet. Your only option is to give me everything, to hand over to me the guidance of your life and your thought, your freedom and your individual rights. I’ll tell you if you can drive, if you can turn on the light, if you can have kids, who you can vote for, what can be taught in schools. Only then will we save the planet. If you come across with questioning, with data different from the official data I control, I’ll call you climate denier and throw you into the intellectual dungeon. Thanks? ”

Well, yes, you maybe completely correct and I comprehend nothing and am confused. But that is fine and I thank you :)

My consideration is that the sun is a capacitor which is being charged via the aether, within it's (Sol) structure and as the charge builds (over millennia or perhaps only 72 years :confused: ) eventually it requires to issue a discharge....and this event is linked to the proximity of surrounding astral bodies, which are all within a circulator of 'events and actions', but 'just' before this discharge the interaction between Sol and Terra would create a shrinking of Terra's atmosphere thus enabling the 'drop' and a sudden (within minutes) requirement for very thick underwear!

But again you are correct and as to 'mainstream thought'......I know sod all :)

It is just my feelings on things lol

If by "the Trojan horse" you mean BRICS, then it most certainly does have legs, just not all five original legs.

A truly Mad Max world sacrificed on the altar of green socialism

J.H. Walker

The real point the Warmists have missed is the level of CO2 in the atmosphere is dependent on how cold the oceans were 500 years ago and at the same time how warm the upper 200M of the tropical oceans are now.

CO2 levels are a lagging indicator of temperature and our Ocean currents can lag that change by as much as 500 years via the cold, deep, returning leg of the worlds Overturning current. Over 50 times the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is sequestrated in the deep oceans via being rained out over millions of years. Volcanic CO2 is released at high temperature and it quickly rises to the surface where it out gasses in company with the warm water column during its release.

CO2 commenced its measurable rise in late 1940s and observable during 1950. It is a scientific fact that a given 1LT of very cold, highly oxygenated water which is also high saturated with soluble CO2 takes 500 years to descend from the Ice edge of the high Arctic and move with the Overturning current at 1000M plus depths to the central Pacific upwelling regions and the high surface temperatures SSTs above 20C.

Cold carbonated soda POP contains masses of CO2, and on opening its container, a soda POP at 20°C is out gassed after 30 minutes.

The major portion of the Little Ice Age (LIA) commenced 575 years ago with the long Spoorer Grand Solar Minimum (GSM), soon followed by the equally long Maunder GSM. By my calcs, given the 500-year current gap, the CO2 outgassing covering the LIA period of 700 years should conclude by 2420. CO2 will continue to rise in the atmosphere during that long period of time.

If humans stopped all emissions of CO2 now, they would trash their entire economies and in the process kill billions of humans though economy collapse, famine, and war, all so the few can lord it over the 250 million survivors as they scavenge a living in the mega city metropolitan wrecks of this failed world.

A truly Mad Max world sacrificed on the altar of green socialism, a politically bankrupt UN’s attempt to create a socialist world government based on a fraudulent corruption of science, and a compliant cheer leading, left leaning, mass media giving propaganda opium to the people.

Recent study by Venter et al finds that the Sahara has shrunk by 8% over the past three decades.

Almost daily the CO2 Science site (http://www.co2science.org/) brings reports on the impact of climate change on the living world. Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne here (http://diekaltesonne.de/wuste-geschrumpft-holzige-vegetation-hat-in-subsahara-afrika-wahrend-der-letzten-3-jahrzehnte-zugenommen/)

Recently, CO2 Science brought up a paper in Nature Communications.

Using satellite images, Venter et al. 2018 found an eight percent increase in woody vegetation in sub-Saharan Africa over the last three decades, underscoring the global "greening trend".

According to Wikipedia, the Sahara covers a vast area of some 9.2 million square kilometers. Eight percent of that translates into more than 700,000 square kilometers. That's an area that's almost as big as Germany and France combined! This is profound.

In other words, it's well over 10,000 Manhattans!

If the added green area were effectively used for agriculture, it could produce enough food to feed the African continent. Unfortunately, this is a fact that the doomsday-obsessed media, activists and ruling politicians fear will become publicly known. They instead would prefer that the globe returns to a climate of the 1980s, when drought and famine ravaged the vast North African region.

According to the recent study, the cause was a decline in vegetation fires in a warmer and more humid climate. Abstract:

Drivers of woody plant encroachment over Africa
While global deforestation induced by human land use has been quantified, the drivers and extent of simultaneous woody plant encroachment (WPE) into open areas are only regionally known. WPE has important consequences for ecosystem functioning, global carbon balances and human economies. Here we report, using high-resolution satellite imagery, that woody vegetation cover over sub-Saharan Africa increased by 8% over the past three decades and that a diversity of drivers, other than CO2, were able to explain 78% of the spatial variation in this trend. A decline in burned area along with warmer, wetter climates drove WPE, although this has been mitigated in areas with high population growth rates, and high and low extremes of herbivory, specifically browsers. These results confirm global greening trends, thereby bringing into question widely held theories about declining terrestrial carbon balances and desert expansion. Importantly, while global drivers such as climate and CO2 may enhance the risk of WPE, managing fire and herbivory at the local scale provides tools to mitigate continental WPE.

IPCC Fatal Error – Neglecting ocean thermal inertia (https://www.iceagenow.info/ipcc-fatal-error-neglecting-ocean-thermal-inertia/)

“Goodbye anthropogenic global warming.”
– Dr Roger Higgs
_________________

IPCC Fatal Error – Neglecting ocean thermal inertia

The Earth is now cooling, says geologist Dr. Roger Higgs. If the cooling continues, “man-made-global-warming believers will by 2021 have to admit they were wrong and that CO2 is blameless and that Svensmark’s sun/cosmic ray/cloud/temperature link is correct.”

IPCC’s 2013 report (co-author physicist Dr M. Lockwood FRS) says the sun “cannot explain global mean surface warming over the past 25 years, because solar irradiance has declined over this period,” Higgs points out.

Instead, says Higgs, the IPCC blames man’s additions of CO2, a gas that totals just 1/2500th [400ppm] of Earth’s atmosphere [near plant-starvation level], and a mere 1/10th of previous historical values.

The IPCC’s error arises because Lockwood assumes Earth’s average surface temperature reacts almost instantly to solar-output changes, with a time-lag of less than 3 years, says Higgs.

But that assumption is wrong.

When Higgs cross-correlated solar cosmic-ray and temperature graphs, he found that massive ocean thermal inertia causes, not a 3-year lag, but a 25-year lag.

This means that the sun CAN explain global mean surface warming over the past 25 years.
“The ‘man-made-global-warming’ idea is a fallacy whose time is nearly over,” says Higgs.

NASA SEES COOLING TREND . THINGS MUST BE SERIOUS FOR THEM TO START HINTING AT THE FULL AND HONEST PICTURE .


“We see a cooling trend,” said Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.”

The new data is coming from NASA’s Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry or SABER instrument, which is onboard the space agency’s Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite. SABER monitors infrared radiation from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a vital role in the energy output of our thermosphere, the very top level of our atmosphere.

“The thermosphere always cools off during Solar Minimum. It’s one of the most important ways the solar cycle affects our planet,” said Mlynczak, who is the associate principal investigator for SABER.

The new NASA findings are in line with studies released by UC-San Diego and Northumbria University in Great Britain last year, both of which predict a Grand Solar Minimum in coming decades due to low sunspot activity. Both studies predicted sun activity similar to the Maunder Minimum of the mid-17th to early 18th centuries, which coincided to a time known as the Little Ice Age, during which temperatures were much lower than those of today.




“Taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,” as advocated by the IPCC in its October 8 news conference, is also foolish. Historic records show that, at about 410 parts per million (ppm), the level of CO2 supposedly in the atmosphere now, we are near the lowest in the last 280 million years. As plants evolved over that time, the average level was 1200 ppm. That is why commercial greenhouses boost CO2 to that level to increase plant growth and yields by a factor of four.

The IPCC has been wrong in every prediction it’s made since 1990. It would be a grave error to use its latest forecasts as the excuse to engage in geo-engineering experiments with the only planet we have.

​Global Warming Errs Badly

To understand the great confusion about global warming or climate change, my most lucid guide has been Dr. Richard Lindzen — a former Alfred P. Sloan professor of meteorology at MIT and member of the US National Academy of Sciences — and his now famous lecture for the Global Warming Policy Foundation last October 8.

In just a number of segments of his lecture, Dr. Lindzen crystallized for me why the church of global warming errs so badly in its dogma.

Global warming promoters fostered the popular public perception of the science of climate change as quite simple. It is that here’s one phenomenon to be explained (“global average temperature,” or GAT, which, says Lindzen, is a thoroughly unscientific concept). And there’s one explanation for it: the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

GAT is only one of many important phenomena to measure in the climate system, and CO2 is only one of many factors that influence both GAT and all the other phenomena.

CO2’s role in controlling GAT is at most perhaps 2 percent, yet climate alarmists think of it as the “control knob.”

Most people readily confuse weather (short-term, local-scale temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, cloudiness, and more) with climate (long-term, large-scale of each) and think weather phenomena are driven by climate phenomena; they aren’t.

Consequently, as Lindzen says, the currently popular narrative concerning this system is this: The climate, a complex multifactor system, can be summarized in just one variable, the globally averaged temperature change, and is primarily controlled by the 1 to 2 percent perturbation in the energy budget due to a single variable — carbon dioxide — among many variables of comparable importance.

Big Chill
Did You Know the Greatest Two-Year Global Cooling Event Just Took Place?

Would it surprise you to learn the greatest global two-year cooling event of the last century just occurred? From February 2016 to February 2018 (the latest month available) global average temperatures dropped 0.56°C. You have to go back to 1982-84 for the next biggest two-year drop, 0.47°C—also during the global warming era. All the data in this essay come from GISTEMP Team, 2018: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP). NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (dataset accessed 2018-04-11 at https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/). This is the standard source used in most journalistic reporting of global average temperatures.

The 2016-18 Big Chill was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five month drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average. February 2018 was colder than February 1998. If someone is tempted to argue that the reason for recent record cooling periods is that global temperatures are getting more volatile, it's not true. The volatility of monthly global average temperatures since 2000 is only two-thirds what it was from 1880 to 1999.

Climate change propaganda is designed by the United Nations for one thing only: to stampede the world into Sustainable Development and its green agenda. It masquerades as benevolence saving the world, but is harmful to the world and anti-human.
⁃ TN Editor
This is an update of an earlier effort to counter the propaganda war that is going on to promote the falsehoods about the environment and climate. An update is required because skills improved with practice and as they lose the war desperation demands greater deceptions. Technocrats are at the center of this development.

They achieve control in various ways, so it is invaluable to read the signs and avoid the deception. The most reliable tool is simple skepticism. Ironically, fake news is now so pervasive that it is much easier to assume everything is fake. The global warming deception is the oldest deeply entrenched fake news story because it is the product of government and deep state bureaucrats. Maurice Strong established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) through the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This is a UN agency run by bureaucrats in Geneva but made up of bureaucrats from the national weather offices of every UN member nation. They work every day using your tax dollars to deceive you.

Here’s what will cause alarm bells to ring on a properly tuned global warming detector:

One. Everything that is going on with weather and climate is normal and not outside historic records as they constantly claim. Therefore, every claim or story about weather or climate is a deception. One way they do this is what climatologists call cherry-picking. You can pick any part of a record to show the trend to support your story. The WMO claims a 30-year long record is statistically significant. They call it the 30-year Normal when it is anything but normal. It was adopted because statisticians claim a sample size (n) of 30 is representative of any size population (N). The problem is that climate cycles are anywhere from 2 years to 100,000 years.

For example, a 2017 BBC headline (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40353118) said “Hottest June day since summer of 1976 in heatwave.” That is 41 years, which is statistically significant but not climatologically significant. A Youtube story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr_06WOSeeg) reports “Sydney has wettest November day since 1984.” CBS Pittsburgh (https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2018/11/24/national-weather-service-pittsburgh-2018-2nd-wettest-year/) reported “NWS: 2018 is the 2nd Wettest Year on Record in Pittsburgh.” The record began in 1871 or 147 years ago, but even that is not climatologically significant. The ones I like are this one from North Carolina (https://www.ourstate.com/a-look-back-at-the-coldest-day-ever-in-north-carolina/), that says, “A Look Back at the Coldest day Ever in North Carolina.” “Ever” even in North Carolina is approximately 4.5 billion years.

Other stories focus on a pattern or change in a pattern again with the idea that it is new or abnormal. Headlines like this one (https://www.thomhartmann.com/forum/2012/03/why-have-there-been-more-tornadoes-usual-year) from 2012, “Why have there been more tornadoes than usual this year?” Often, they are suggestive such as this 2017 New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/19/us/hurricanes-irma-harvey-maria.html) story. “The 2017 Hurricane Season Really Is More Intense Than Normal.” When you read the story, you find, as is usually the case, that the caveats at the end indicate it is not unusual at all. This is irrelevant to the authors who know the only thing the reader will remember is the headline. Notice that headlines are always in the Active Voice unlike the Conditional Voice words like “could,” “maybe,” or “possibly” in the body of the story.

Two. In 2004 the perpetrators and perpetuators of the Global Warming deception at the University of East Anglia realized the CO2 level continued to rise, but temperatures stopped increasing. It was what Thomas Huxley described as the great tragedy of science the slaying of a lovely hypothesis by an ugly fact. The climate deceivers didn’t skip a beat, they changed the issue from global warming to climate change. This gave them a greater range and made the problem more threatening. Now you see headlines identifying that it was, variably the warmest, coldest, wettest, driest, calmest, and windiest, in the official record, which for most of the world is less than 50 years. In reality, the issue is still only about warming because that is the only part of the weather affected by CO2.

Three. Exploitation of natural fear is central to any attempt to control people. It is no coincidence that the original fear story was Chicken Little and the sky is falling. As H. L. Mencken said,
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
Science writer Michael Crichton wrote about the entire sequence as it relates to the climate in his book State of Fear. It is fiction. Here is the comment in Wikipedia
State of Fear is a 2004 techno-thriller novel by Michael Crichton, in which eco-terrorists plot mass murder to publicize the danger of global warming.
However, the science is accurate because Crichton was a roommate at Harvard with Richard Lindzen, a top climate scientist. Crichton was a medical doctor with post-graduate degrees from Oxford.

Four. Mistrust a story the minute it attempts to play on your guilt or emotions. Invariably, it makes you guilty because the children are going to die, some element of the planetary system is collapsing, animals are going extinct, forests are in decline, and coral reefs are dying. Of course, they always distort the animal extinction issue. I would explain to audiences that many animals are thriving because of human activity, pigeons, snakes, coyotes, rats. I then pause and ask if I have mentioned any they like yet? The bias is to furry, round-eyed, creatures like polar bears and koala bears. More new species are found every day than go extinct in 50 years.

Five. Originators of environmental and climate change propaganda stories know the public is ill-informed about science. They take advantage of this by using terms that people don’t understand or mislabeling things to make them more menacing. For example, they interchangeably and incorrectly call CO2, which is a gas, Carbon, which is a solid. They incorrectly label carbon dioxide, a pollutant. They make meaningless assertions like “Climate change is real,” or “The science is settled.” One way to put the last comment in perspective is to challenge. Say, “fine, then we should cancel all funding for climate research.”

Six. A change of keywords is a sure sign that at least one aspect of their deception was exposed. The classic change discussed earlier was from global warming to climate change. Another change is underway because people are starting to say, hang on a minute, climate changes all the time. There are three contenders for replacement now, “climate chaos,” “climate catastrophe,” and “climate disruptions.” The term “Polar Vortex” was the invention of John Holdren when he was Obama‘s science advisor. It is not a scientific term, but its appearance implied that it was new and due to human activity. In fact, it was popularly referred to as an outbreak of cold air from Canada called an “Alberta Clipper.”

Seven. Another sign of propaganda is a constant raising of the threat. Here is a good example (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/global-warming-getting-worse-fast/).
And humankind does not have long to act, according to a study in the journal Nature Geoscience. British and Australian scientists report that they calculated the pattern of temperature rises if immediate action is not taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The propaganda war was made necessary from the start because there was no scientific evidence for the claims of environmental collapse and human-caused global warming. Start with a lie, and you admit it when evidence exposes it, or continue the lie with ever increasing deceptions.

As Sir Walter Scott said,
“What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”

Climate debate - a political construction (https://resett.no/2019/03/17/klimadebatten-en-politisk-konstruksjon/)

Jon Gulbrandsen - Dr. philos. Biologist

[Sophocles: This article is translated with google translate. Pictures and graphs in original article]


In the old days, research and politics were independent disciplines, but today the politicians want to control the research so that it delivers the desired political results.

Initially, they threw themselves over the social sciences, because these could easily be adapted to changing ideological needs. The result was that small Norway in a short time received the world's highest density of social scientists and 710 gender researchers, but ended up in the last place in research in general.

I thought science would be immune to politicization, because science had a too high degree of integrity, but it still happened, through some kind of indirect governance. For the defense of politicians, it must be said that they hardly knew exactly what they were doing, because the process was the result of a cluttered interplay of science, bureaucracy and politics. But in essence they got the answers they themselves asked for, but over such a long period of time and through so many errags that they probably had forgotten where it started.

As a researcher, I myself was part of this strange process, where we burned a couple of billion on a program that had little chance of success, but because it had been elevated to a research program, it was quite impossible to stop. Some of us voiced our concerns, including me, but most dare not, because it almost always results in an early retirement.

It is therefore typically the case that notifiers are already retired.

The German physics professor Carl Otto Weiss is one of these. His specialty is non-linear optics, where one of the review themes is frequencies and wavelengths, ie a form of cyclic phenomena. It was therefore natural for Weiss to ask himself whether or not the temperature data were cyclical, but, like all good researchers, he first examined what had already been done in the area.

He was shocked; we had spent $ 15 billion on climate research, WITHOUT EXAMINING ABOUT THE CLIMATE VARIATIONS WAS CYCLICAL! Weiss concluded dryly that "so something fishy must be going on" so he decided to investigate the matter himself, but after he had retired.

At his disposal, he had over 250 years of temperature data from six well-known places in Europe (measurements started in 1757), Antarctic ice cores, and 2500 years of proxy data from tree rings, stalagmites and sediments. He ran the data through a mathematical process known as a Fourir transformation, which gave him the individual sine curves, and again drove them back through an inverse Fourir transformation to reconstruct the raw data. He did this in 2013 (https://www.clim-past.net/9/447/2013/cp-9-447-2013.pdf), 2015 (http://notrickszone.com/2015/08/21/study-german-scientists-conclude-20th-century-warming-nothing-unusual-foresee-global-cooling-until-2080/), and 2017 (https://benthamopen.com/FULLTEXT/TOASCJ-11-44?fbclid=IwAR3Iy1DqWYg1DM92xrsyq58FgS5b90FvPk6PwP4SXWH38k_0zR0gV57Vt3A), along with two of his colleagues, Lüdecke and Hempelmann.


The results were clear:

1) Temperature variations are cyclical, and can be divided into sine curves showing periods of 1003, 463 and 188 years, which in turn reflect the solar activity over the same periods (~ 1000, ~ 500, and ~ 200 years),

2) there are no traces of non-periodic phenomena;

3) it is not a mathematical artifact;

4) the phenomenon is global and

5) we are moving into a cold period.


Thus, in contrast to the CO2 concentration, which is monotonously growing, and in contrast to claims made by the People's Education in NRK, where they claim that temperature variations are only local.

With this, the whole debate should have been over, but with the opposite sign of what we normally hear; the global climate is not controlled by anthropogenic CO2, at least it has not done so in the past 2500 years, and we can forget about everything from CO2 taxes, carbon capture to climate targets. This is very good news, because then we can rather spend our money on important problems, such as food and resource shortages.

But the UN, the EU, the liberal elite, the climate industry and the state-supported media were not happy. They had put too much at stake to turn around. They were what pilots call "committed". So they simply ignored Weiss's results and grinded on the long-standing claim that 97 percent of climate scientists say it is anthropogenic CO2 that drives the climate, which they have never said, they just said they believe people do in one way or another. The question is whether it is measurable, and it is not. Furthermore, the claims are repeated that the UN says that the globe is getting warmer, that there is more storm and that the sea is rising.

This they cannot possibly believe in themselves, because otherwise Al Gore wouldn’t have bought a beachfront house at $ 9 million, but then again it is not true either; The globe is becoming colder, there is less storm and the sea does not rise significantly, it rises and falls depending on phenomena such as land uplift. But the point is that this has nothing to do with CO2 - it's a pure diversion!

And when it comes to the UN, they have warned climate catastrophes ever since the 1970s, but then there was a new ice age they were afraid of. Later, in the 1980s, they turned the claim from cooling to warming, with equally great empathy. For example, in 1989, Noel Brown (UNEP) stated (https://apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0?fbclid=IwAR2RV7fqy0PRYb0a5_NModdjFmjoPFYEC6AuxeWf-uJIr881X_DeJYuhw4U) that "all nations will be obliterated by the year 2000 if we fail to reverse the climate", which is evidently not the case.

Presumably, this is why they now leave the stage to school-gossiping teenage girls who, without blinking, claim that "the earth is boiling" because of human CO2 emissions. And young girls are always a success, because by convention they are unassailable. It holds that they represent the antithesis of old white men, and therefore they do not even have to argue, nor do they.

The alarmists' new star, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, also presented only unfounded claims in her meeting with the EU, delivered with a quick and wronged mine. But this is the privilege of young girls, and in the face of yet another old white man, President Jean-Claude Juncker, the result was given in advance; Juncker threw in the towel and unreservedly promised the furtive girl billions of euros in "climate action", whatever that meant, but he said nothing about that either.

In this game, 78-year-old Professor Doctor Carl Otto Weiss (https://schillerinstitute.com/media/carl-otto-weiss-le-changement-climatique-est-du-a-des-cycles-naturels/) is without chance.

But two questions still arise: What in the world are our politicians thinking about, and why are there no reactions from academia and national media?

One point is that our last five Prime Ministers say they represent primarily global interests and not national ones, apparently because they have ambitions to tear down national states and build a kind of international community instead, with themselves in advanced positions.

But they cannot do this without an agenda, so they chose two issues with a high international profile; climate and migration policy. Both cases had the advantage that they weakened the nation states and strengthened the international community, which happened to be their own goals.

The problem was just that both cases were logically weak, but in politics, as is known, everything is possible, and then it plays less role if they try to solve real-life problems or imaginary problems. All that is required is that it generates voices at home, and it does, oddly enough.

But why didn't there come any protests from academia and national media? Presumably because both rely on state budget transfers, and therefore protests come only from independent online newspapers without press support, and retired researchers. But these, in turn, are attempted gagged by the media, courts, filter.no, faktisk.no (which now censors for Facebook!) And Facebook itself.

Here it is worth noting that Facebook founder Marc Zuckerberg for open microphone promised Angela Merkel to filter out unwanted news and opinions. One of the newly-filtered is the editor of Nettavisen, Gunnar Stavrum, and in fact reduces the other media's visibility on Facebook, with the blessing of Angela Merkel and Marc Zuckerberg.

But with this, they have in fact declared war against the entire free world, or what’s left of it, and that is dangerous, because the day that people are no longer living in a democracy, the reactions can also become undemocratic.

Seriously, who believes this gibberish? (https://www.iceagenow.info/seriously-who-believes-this-gibberish/)

“So not only can they take the Earth’s temperature accurate to more than one hundredth of a °C they can now measure sea level rise to a one hundredth of a millimetre ????”
– Rosco Mac

Seriously, who believes this gibberish?

By Rosco Mac

I saw a story on Australia’s cheer leader on climate alarm the ABC the other day.
“Scientists using seismic testing at the largest glacier in east Antarctica find massive subglacial lakes beneath its surface — which they say radically alters estimates on predicted sea level rise.”
One guy said
“While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates sea levels will rise by a metre by 2100, Dr Galton-Fenzi said those estimates did not factor in the increased discharge of Antarctic ice due to climate change.”
He stated that between 7 and 11 metres of sea level rise was possible by 2100.
Aren’t you simply amazed by the power of atmospheric CO2 ?

Somehow atmospheric CO2 traps radiation from the cold Antarctic surface at 5 kilometres high in the stratosphere and then somehow manages to sneak below a 2 kilometre (6561 feet )-thick glacier causing melting at the bottom whilst the surface of the glacier shows zero sign of melting !!

WOW !! Run and hide !

Of course underwater or under glacier volcanism couldn’t possibly have any impact on this could it ?

And, as usual, there was the obligatory finale invoking that IF ONLY we had MORE research money to investigate this (fanciful fraud – the CO2 is the cause fraud I mean) we could assist in our understanding of climate change.

Here’s the link
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-25/totten-glacier-antarctica-research-using-seismic-study/10936998

The written story is slightly different in that he doesn’t make the bald statement shown on TV – 7 – 11 metres of sea level rise by 2100.

Oh, by the way, Naomi Orsekes made a similar, albeit not as large, nonsensical claim in about 2011 and here is how Tony Heller graphed her claim – 10 feet sea level rise by 2100.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ea58u51hgoum3yc/10%20feet%20Seal%20Level%20rise%20in%202100.bmp?dl=0

As usual stupid alarmist claims produce absolutely nonsensical graphs when plotted.
10 feet is 3048 millimetres and over 89 years requires a rate of increase of 34.25 millimetres per year !!

The “measured” sea level rise is between 1.7 and 3.2 millimetres per year – 10 times LESS than Orsekes fanciful claim.

To meet her ridiculous claim we should have already seen almost 274 millimetres since she sprouted that BS – almost 11 inches !

Or will it simply wait for 50 + years and then all melt suddenly in a splash reminiscent of dropping several ice cubes into your glass of Scotch ?

Or how about this gibberish ??
“The study, by US scientists, has calculated the rate of global mean sea level rise is not just going up at a steady rate of 3mm a year, but has been increasing by an additional 0.08mm a year, every year since 1993.”
Still nothing like Orsekes 34.25 millimetres per year or the Antarctic circus’s claim of about 86 millimetres (3.4 inches) per year though !!

So not only can they take the Earth’s temperature accurate to more than one hundredth of a °C they can now measure sea level rise to a one hundredth of a millimetre ????

Seriously, who believes this gibberish ?

[Didgevillage]

"Global warming" was used as an excuse to promote nuclear energy because it supposedly does not create heat like coal based power plants do.

We are sitting right in the middle of the Ice Age which started over a million years ago.
In this ice age, there are very cold glacial periods which last about 130,000 years interspersed by relatively warm interglacial periods each of which lasts only about 10,000 years.

We are at the very end of this interglacial, which began about 13,000 years ago, melting ice which flooded land masses and separated Europe from Africa, Australia from New Guinea, etc.

What are the characteristics of glacial periods?
Strong westerly winds
Drying of large continents
and
Activation of volcanoes and frequent large scale earthquakes

The following might give an idea on another way the sun might wreak havoc with the weather and climate on earth:

NASA images show how solar wind heats up Jupiter's atmosphere faster and deeper than previously thought (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2019-059&amp;rn=news.xml&amp;rst=7369)

New Earth-based telescope observations show that auroras at Jupiter's poles are heating the planet's atmosphere to a greater depth than previously thought - and that it is a rapid response to the solar wind.

"The solar wind impact at Jupiter is an extreme example of space weather," said James Sinclair of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who led new research published April 8 in Nature Astronomy. "We're seeing the solar wind having an effect deeper than is normally seen."

Auroras at Earth's poles (known as the aurora borealis at the North Pole and aurora australis at the South Pole) occur when the energetic particles blown out from the Sun (the solar wind) interact with and heat up the gases in the upper atmosphere. The same thing happens on Jupiter, but the new observations show the heating goes two or three times deeper down into its atmosphere than on Earth, into the lower level of Jupiter's upper atmosphere, or stratosphere.


https://www.sott.net/image/s25/517322/large/PIA22775_hires.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s25/517322/full/PIA22775_hires.jpg)
Sensitive to Jupiters stratospheric temperatures, these infrared images were recorded by the Subaru Telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Areas that are more yellow and red indicate the hotter regions.


Sensitive to Jupiter's stratospheric temperatures, these infrared images were recorded by the Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (COMICS) at the Subaru Telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Areas of the atmosphere that are more yellow and red indicate the hotter regions. Aurora produce enhanced and variable heating at Jupiter's poles. The heating occurs when the magnetosphere and the solar wind interact and deposit energy into Jupiter's atmosphere. Images were captured less than a day apart, from Jan. 11-12, 2017, and illustrate how quickly the atmosphere varied in response to the solar wind.

Understanding how the Sun's constant outpouring of solar wind interacts with planetary environments is key to better understanding the very nature of how planets and their atmospheres evolve.

"What is startling about the results is that we were able to associate for the first time the variations in solar wind and the response in the stratosphere - and that the response to these variations is so quick for such a large area," said JPL's Glenn Orton, co-author and part of the observing team.

Within a day of the solar wind hitting Jupiter, the chemistry in its atmosphere changed and its temperature rose, the team found. An infrared image captured during their observing campaign in January, February and May of 2017 clearly shows hot spots near the poles, where Jupiter's auroras are. The scientists based their findings on observations by the Subaru Telescope, atop the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which is operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.

The telescope's Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectograph (COMICS) recorded thermal images - which capture areas of higher or lower temperatures - of Jupiter's stratosphere.

"Such heating and chemical reactions may tell us something about other planets with harsh environments, and even early Earth," said Yasumasa Kasaba of Tohoku University, who also worked on the observing team.

What I don't understand is why is there hysteria over climate change?
Lets for one moment assume that it is caused by human action regardless of merit.
They are still talking about severe consequences in 50 to 100 or more years and they want to take action now.
That's the part that drives me crazy.
They are somehow assuming that no new technologies will be available in such a time-frame.
Really!?

Also, a couple of volcanoes going off will cool the earth. So what now, we now need to fight volcanoes so that the earth warms?
I am so confused.

My kids are being taught at school about global warming and when I ask if they are teaching the science, I get blank stares. Science? What is that thing?
When someone does so much hand waving and insists on buying this item now because it will be too late, they are desperately trying to make their commission.

When I see a model that can predict the future climate and vegetation growth year over year for say 20 years WITHOUT reprogramming, I will then take it more seriously.

“We’re tired of being made guinea pigs in their fake-science experiments.”
– Paul Driessen
______________
“For years we’ve been subjected to what can only be described as fake science on climate change, brought to us by folks that can best be described as fake climate scientists,” says Paul Driessen.

“They engage in practices that real scientists would never follow, and willfully ignore everything the scientific method prescribes as guidelines for honest, replicable, beneficial research. Even worse, these fake/alarmist scientists demand that their suspect work be used to justify energy policies that would upend and devastate modern industrial economies – for no climate benefit … with millions of acres blanketed by wind turbines and solar panels … and with billions of impoverished people being trapped in energy poverty, disease, malnutrition and early death.”
Driessen’s article this week tackles this problem head-on.

Fake climate science and scientists

By Paul Driessen

Alarmists game the system to enrich and empower themselves, and hurt everyone else

The multi-colored placard in front of a $2-million home in North Center Chicago proudly proclaimed, “In this house we believe: No human is illegal” – and “Science is real” (plus a few other liberal mantras).

I knew right away where the owners stood on climate change, and other hot-button political issues. They would likely tolerate no dissension or debate on “settled” climate science or any of the other topics.

But they have it exactly backward on the science issue. Real science is not belief – or consensus, 97% or otherwise. Real science constantly asks questions, expresses skepticism, reexamines hypotheses and evidence. If debate, skepticism and empirical evidence are prohibited – it’s pseudo-science, at best.

Real science – and real scientists – seek to understand natural phenomena and processes. They pose hypotheses that they think best explain what they have witnessed, then test them against actual evidence, observations and experimental data. If the hypotheses (and predictions based on them) are borne out by their subsequent findings, the hypotheses become theories, rules, laws of nature – at least until someone finds new evidence that pokes holes in their assessments, or devises better explanations.

Real science does not involve simply declaring that you “believe” something. It’s not immutable doctrine. It doesn’t claim “science is real” – or demand that a particular scientific explanation be carved in stone. Earth-centric concepts gave way to a sun-centered solar system. Miasma disease beliefs surrendered to the germ theory. The certainty that continents are locked in place was replaced by plate tectonics (and the realization that you can’t stop continental drift, any more than you stop climate change).

Real scientists often employ computers to analyze data more quickly and accurately, depict or model complex natural systems, or forecast future events or conditions. But they test their models against real-world evidence. If the models, observations and predictions don’t match up, real scientists modify or discard the models, and the hypotheses behind them. They engage in robust discussion and debate.

They don’t let models or hypotheses become substitutes for real-world evidence and observations. They don’t alter or “homogenize” raw or historic data (https://jennifermarohasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Marohasy-to-Finkel-20180504.pdf) to make it look like the models actually work. They don’t hide their data and computer algorithms (AlGoreRythms?), restrict peer review to closed circles of like-minded colleagues who protect one another’s reputations and funding, claim “the debate is over,” or try to silence anyone who dares to ask inconvenient questions or find fault with their claims and models. They don’t concoct hockey stick temperature graphs that can be replicated by plugging in random numbers (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/08/23/make-your-own-mannian-hockey-stick-at-home/).

In the realm contemplated by the Chicago yard sign, we ought to be doing all we can to understand Earth’s highly complex, largely chaotic, frequently changing climate system (https://youtu.be/phaBUQ3NU1w) – all we can to figure out how the sun and other powerful forces interact with each other. Only in that way can we accurately predict future climate changes, prepare for them, and not waste money and resources chasing goblins.

But instead, we have people in white lab coats masquerading as real scientists. They’re doing what I just explained true scientists don’t do. They also ignore fluctuations in solar energy output and numerous other powerful, interconnected natural forces that have driven climate change throughout Earth’s history. They look only (or 97% of the time) at carbon dioxide as the principal or sole driving force behind current and future climate changes – and blame every weather event, fire and walrus death (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/15/our-planet-film-crew-is-still-lying-about-walrus-cliff-deaths-heres-how-we-know/) on manmade CO2.

Even worse, they let their biases drive their research and use their pseudo-science to justify demands that we eliminate all fossil fuel use, and all carbon dioxide and methane emissions, by little more than a decade from now. Otherwise, they claim, we will bring unprecedented cataclysms to people and planet.

Not surprisingly, their bad behavior is applauded, funded and employed by politicians, environmentalists, journalists, celebrities, corporate executives, billionaires and others who have their own axes to grind, their own egos to inflate – and their intense desire to profit (https://townhall.com/columnists/pauldriessen/2018/12/29/lets-do-follow-the-climate-money-n2538182) from climate alarmism and pseudo-science.

Worst of all, while they get rich and famous, their immoral actions impoverish billions and kill millions (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/07/14/rejecting-carbon-colonialism/), by depriving them of the affordable, reliable fossil fuel energy that powers modern societies.

And still these slippery characters endlessly repeat the tired trope that they “believe in science” – and anyone who doesn’t agree to “keep fossil fuels in the ground” to stop climate change is a “science denier.”

When these folks and the yard sign crowd brandish the term “science,” political analyst Robert Tracinski (https://thebulwark.com/why-i-dont-believe-in-science/) suggests, it is primarily to “provide a badge of tribal identity” – while ironically demonstrating that they have no real understanding of, or interest in, “the guiding principles of actual science.”

Genuine climate scientist (and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology) Dr. Judith Curry (https://judithcurry.com/2019/03/26/why-i-dont-believe-in-science/) echoes Tracinski. Politicians like Senator Elizabeth Warren use “science” as a way of “declaring belief in a proposition which is outside their knowledge and which they do not understand…. The purpose of the trope is to bypass any meaningful discussion of these separate questions, rolling them all into one package deal – and one political party ticket,” she explains.

The ultimate purpose of all this, of course, is to silence the dissenting voices of evidence- and reality-based climate science, block creation of a Presidential Committee on Climate Science (https://townhall.com/columnists/johndroz/2019/03/12/stop-fake-science-approve-the-pccs-n2542997), and ensure that the only debate is over which actions to take first to end fossil fuel use … and upend modern economies.

The last thing fake/alarmist climate scientists want is a full-throated debate with real climate scientists – a debate that forces them to defend their doomsday assertions, methodologies, data manipulation … and claims that solar and other powerful natural forces are minuscule or irrelevant compared to manmade carbon dioxide that constitutes less than 0.02% of Earth’s atmosphere (natural CO2 adds another 0.02%).

Thankfully, there are many reasons for hope (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_CHy9ql4M&feature=youtu.be). For recognizing that we do not face a climate crisis, much less threats to our very existence. For realizing there is no need to subject ourselves to punitive carbon taxes (https://blog.friendsofscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Carbon-Kleptomania.pdf) or the misery, poverty, deprivation, disease and death that banning fossil fuels would cause.

Between the peak of the great global cooling scare in 1975 until around 1998, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperatures did rise in rough conjunction. But then temperatures mostly flat-lined, while CO2 levels kept climbing. Now actual average global temperatures are already 1 degree F below the Garbage In-Garbage Out computer model predictions. Other alarmist forecasts are also out of touch with reality.

Instead of fearing rising CO2, we should thank it for making crop, forest and grassland plants grow faster and better, benefiting nature and humanity – especially in conjunction with slightly warmer temperatures that extend growing seasons, expand arable land and increase crop production.

The rate of sea level rise has not changed for over a century – and much of what alarmists attribute to climate change and rising seas is actually due to land subsidence (https://www.cfact.org/2016/12/10/sea-level-rise-or-land-subsidence/) and other factors.

Weather is not becoming more extreme. In fact, Harvey was the first Category 3-5 hurricane to make US landfall in a record 12 years – and the number of violent F3 to F5 tornadoes has fallen from an average of 56 per year from 1950 to 1985 to only 34 per year since then.

Human ingenuity and adaptability have enabled humans to survive and thrive in all sorts of climates, even during our far more primitive past. Allowed to use our brains, fossil fuels and technologies, we will deal just fine with whatever climate changes might confront us in the future. (Of course, another nature-driven Pleistocene-style glacier pulling 400 feet of water out of our oceans and crushing Northern Hemisphere forests and cities under mile-high walls of ice truly would be an existential threat to life as we know it.)

So if NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio and other egotistical grand-standing politicians and fake climate scientists want to ban fossil fuels (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/06/what-would-life-be-like-without-fossil-fuels-such-as-gas-and-oil/), glass-and-steel buildings (https://mailchi.mp/cfact/nyc-goes-stone-age-green?e=2fee2dc0be), cows and even hotdogs (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/26/new-york-to-ban-hot-dogs-because-climate-change/) – in the name of preventing “dangerous manmade climate change” – let them impose their schemes on themselves and their own families. The rest of us are tired of being made guinea pigs in their fake-science experiments.

Here is a question that is bothering me.
If fossil fuels can run out as they say by 2060 (whatever), wouldn't this issue of blaming warming on the use of fossil fuels also go away?

Another question.
Is the future of human exploration of the cosmos to rely on fossil fuels?

Are these two questions related? Meaning maybe there is motivation in immediately getting started on switching global economies to use more advanced energy sources. For example thorium (hot salt) reactors.

Regardless the stupidity of climate change arguments, I can't imagine a world where we are burning gas in 100 years or that we are not mining asteroids or colonizing planets or asteroid or the moon(s).

Having said that, I acknowledge that growing economies desperately need an immediate source of cheap energy, thus fossil fuels.

What are the agendas of the controlling powers?
- depopulation?
- fighting ETs?
- fighting asteroids?
- global wars?
- replacing humans with automation?
- genetic re-engineering of humans and animals?
- geoengineering?
- a billion other agendas...
- all of the above?

If humans are being taken over through hybridization, isn't all this moot?
Aren't all of these arguments ended by a single asteroid (naturally or intentionally directed) strike?

[greybeard]

Its probably been posted before but it seems that the current change is cyclic and we are heading into an ice age--at least that's the view of some enlightened scientists.
One thing for sure about experts, their opinions can be completely different.

Solar minimum/maximum is ONLY one piece of the whole puzzle.
There are other factors at work.

The fact remains that we are sitting right in the middle of an Ice Age (which is not the first time in billions of years) since one million or so years ago where

approx. 130,000 years of very cold glacial and
approx. 13,000 years of relatively warm interglacial
periods alternate.

The period we are in is called Holocene, just one of the interglacial periods, but it has virtually ended.

Milanković figured that out without the tools we now have.

Forget so-called ‘global warming’

By Jimmy Walter

Natural (not human-caused) ‘global warming’ has ended. However, we do face two climate crises: The current Little Ice Age and the looming regular ice age, which may be worse than the previous one. A billion or maybe more people are likely to die during this little ice age since they are already living on the border of starvation (https://www.worldhunger.org/world-hunger-and-poverty-facts-and-statistics/).

Look at this graph and see that the height of this warm period is less than the other peaks of the last 450-thousand years. The previous warm periods lasted about the same time as this current one already has. No previous period spiked after the onset which this current one is way past.


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ice_Age_Temperature.png


We need to prepare, develop more fossil fuels like coal, albeit with high scrubbing, methane, and oil. We need to use and develop plants that will survive the coming lower temperatures, less rain, and be more productive.

"The current Little Ice Age and the looming regular ice age, which may be worse than the previous one. "

It is not entirely correct. The last Little Ice Age occurred a few hundred years ago, when the Thames froze and there were wide-spread famines in East Asia as well.

What's upcoming is not a Little one, but full-blown Ice Age.

The graph shows a cycle consisting of 130,000 years of Ice Age glacial and 13,000 years of relatively warm interglacial. An average of about 5 degrees Celsius makes this difference.


"A billion or maybe more people are likely to die "
This sounds too optimistic.

It will be the responsibility of each individual government to protect its people by securing food supply, among other things, and globalists don't want that to happen.

Climate Disruption: It’s Not Due to CO2 (https://www.globalresearch.ca/climate-disruption-its-not-due-to-co2/5677036)

By Prof. Claudia von Werlhof (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/claudia-von-werlhof) and Silvia Terribili (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/silvia-terribili)
Global Research, May 09, 2019


https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/climate-change-400x225.jpg


Professor Claudia von Werlhof wrote to Greta Thunberg (http://www.pbme-online.org/2019/02/11/greta-thunberg-the-real-causes-of-the-planetary-disaster/). In this letter Von Werlhof tells that the disruption of the global climate is not due to CO2.

Following questions arose from this letter for Silvia Terribili, who asked von Werlhof to give an interview for her radio show Onda Italiana (https://www.salto.nl/player/onda-italiana/1xbhyoLjMooU4sSEWCkWog/) on salto.nl, April 9th.

Climate Disruption Is Not Due to CO2 (https://www.globalresearch.ca/climate-disruption-not-due-co2/5676064)

By Prof. Claudia von Werlhof (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/claudia-von-werlhof) and Silvia Terribili (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/silvia-terribili), April 30, 2019

***
Below is the transcript of the interview.

Claudia Von Werlhof: The question is how we define climate change and its alleged reason, of which it is said it is CO2. We consider climate change, at least in the official discussion, as “global warming” and this global warming doesn’t exist. There are data from NASA, which is the North American Space Agency, and they show that in the last 18 years there was no general global warming. What exist indeed – because we are not deniers of the problem – are changes in different dimensions in the weather, in the climate and more so in the atmosphere, etc. We are going to explain this more in this interview. The second is the CO2-question which is now very prominent as all these young people are now on the street, because they believe in this story and this dogma of the CO2.

And this is very strange because a lot of scientists, real scientists, are denying the influence of CO2 as a reason for climate change or as an influence at all. For example, there are about 30,000 scientists in the US now who say that there is no problem with CO2. On the contrary, CO2 this is a gas that stems from rotten natural materials which is needed by the plants to transform it into oxygen. They say that CO2 is not at all detrimental for the climate, and that it even is something we are to welcome and that we need for our trees and plants and as a positive effect.

So, the funny thing is that CO2 is often shown as some dirt, as if it was a dirt in the air. Then you look at the factories that are shown in this opportunity, you see the dust coming out of them, etc. This is not CO2.

CO2 is a gas that is invisible and doesn’t smell so you don’t see it. In general, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 0.038 % only. Most of that is vapour, water vapour, some 80 or 70%. So, this tiny amount of CO2 cannot change something huge like the climate of this planet. This is impossible.


https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Screen-Shot-2019-05-09-at-07.25.58.png (https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Screen-Shot-2019-05-09-at-07.25.58.png)


Screenshot Global CCS Institute (https://hub.globalccsinstitute.com/publications/what-happens-when-co2-stored-underground-qa-ieaghg-weyburn-midale-co2-monitoring-and-storage-project/1-what-carbon-dioxide-co2)

So, all these scientists who are serious scientists, are denying a negative influence of CO2 on the climate. There are even winners of the Nobel Prize etc., like Ivar Giaever, who are explaining it or people from the MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, like Richard Lindzen and others. The IPCC, the International Panel on Climate Change, founded at the end of the ’80s of the last century, however, is not so much a scientific but a political organization, and it is propagating and proposing the CO2 myth in public.

So, this is a political question and from the point of view of a real scientist CO2 is not really something detrimental and is not changing any climate. It’s too tiny for that.

If you look at the origins of this debate at the end of the ‘80s, you see that before this time all the world spoke about a possible ice age, a new ice age. Lowell Ponte, f.i., wrote a book on “The Cooling”. It was in 1976.

They spoke about a cooling and a new ice age in contrast to the global warming-speech of today. There is no historical debate any more about how this myth about CO2 came about.

The IPCC was founded by Think Tanks, like the Club of Rome, the World Watch Institute, the Rockefellers, etc., people who have a different interest in the whole question. And they found, I think it was an analysis by William Engdahl, who said they found or invented the myth of CO2 in order to have a common enemy defined which is humanity itself.

Humanity is guilty of producing so much CO2 by civil industry and consumption. This ideology can be used for another, a new policy. So, this was the origin of the CO2 myth and this has been their propaganda worldwide. Then came Al Gore and everybody believes in him. This is contrasting with the fact that a real climate change is not occurring in the sense they are defining it. This history is generally not known. And people don’t really know anything about Nature and the Planet. There is a certain ignorance generally, and the public just believes in everything.

There are a lot of changes in the world, in the climate, in many aspects, like those Dr. Rosalie Bertell found out, we are speaking about her later, who said we are wrecking our planet. But how? It’s not by global warming, but by something totally different. This is not mentioned by these people who speak about climate change. They don’t see that there are changes but there are different ones with very different origins.

Silvia Terribili: Yes, it seems also that computer models predicting catastrophic global warming in the coming years are parameterized and there is a risk of framing the outcome of these methods and models. Can you say something about these models?

CvW: These models the IPCC is using are computer models. Their results are just an outcome of computer simulation. It has nothing to do with reality and what they are measuring is what they want to measure. They just measure something like more CO2-output, but they do not consider the complexity of the climate on this planet.

They have no parameters about them and so they are really trying to fool us with what they are saying about such a big amount of climate change and global warming. This is not happening, and it will not happen because of CO2.

So, these are strange methods, and not scientific ones.

One should say they are political methods which want to prove something which is not the case. So, there is no reason why there should be such an amount of global warming of above 4 degrees, which is impossible. At least it is impossible with simply putting CO2 as a measure of this tiny amount of CO2 in the air. You would never have any effect and it is very funny that everybody is believing this nonsense. It’s a theory but it has nothing to do with reality and we should look at why this theory exists. So, this is the more important question.

ST: Some 30 years ago we already warned that the protective ozone layer has been reduced. Nowadays we don’t seem to care anymore for ozone depletion in the stratosphere. How could this be explained because we have to be concerned about the depletion of the ozone layer and where does it come from?

CvW: The ozone-question, yes. This is a very funny thing again and it is not funny at all in the end, because the ozone layer is really something that we need.

Without the ozone layer there would be no life on earth, because it protects us from cosmic radiation from the sun, especially UV-B and -C radiation, which is very toxic.

And it has been found out that this radiation today is coming down to earth which normally is prevented by the ozone layer.

But now it comes through, and this is a long story because there was the Montreal Protocol in the ‘80s which prohibited the use of CFCs, all these chemicals you have in the refrigerators, etc., because they thought it was the reason for the ozone hole.

But this was wrong already then because we know that what is really damaging ozone is especially radioactivity. Of radioactivity there is a lot in the air since the military was experimenting with nuclear explosions since the ‘40s and ‘50s until the end of the ‘90s, and we had about 2,200 nuclear explosions on earth and in the atmosphere and they have produced a lot of radioactive radiation that is destroying the ozone layer.

This is the main reason for the weakness of this layer because radioactivity is somehow eating up the ozone so that it is suffocating in a way, because ozone is a sort of atmospheric oxygen and radioactivity is finishing with the oxygen.

The problem is something like suffocation and a toxic effect of radiation coming down to earth when this layer is destroyed or inhibited.

Last year, the people who were measuring the ozone layer found that it was weaker than ever, it did not recover as was proposed after the Montreal Protocol. And they found out that, on the contrary, it is not only existing in the form of holes over the Antarctic and the Arctic – the latter one existing only since Fukushima, as there was never a hole over the Arctic before.

And now we have ozone depletion even over the whole northern part of the earth.

So, the toxic radiation is not only occurring at the poles but generally it comes down and it is destroying a lot of plants and low animal life, like insects. With the insects dying, the birds and the whole food chain is affected by the weakness of the ozone layer, and in the oceans the plankton is dying and the krill that the big fish are eating.

You have now many fish who are dying from hunger and you have dying coral reefs like, for example, the Great Barrier Reef east of New Zealand, the biggest one in the world, which is now dying, and it is nearly not reproducing itself anymore. People say it is because the oceans are warming up, but this cannot be the real reason. The main problem is that the toxic radiation from the sun comes down into the water as well and it is killing life in the oceans.

And then you have all this radioactivity from Fukushima which has been led into the Pacific so that life in the Pacific is dying out, and soon you will have no fish anymore. This is somehow very tragic because Rosalie Bertell wrote her book “Planet Earth, the Latest Weapon of War” already in 2000. She has studied all these problems, and where they come from, and she always warned about the ozone layer, because it had been thinned out already by 10% at the end of the ‘90s and now it is becoming thinner and thinner.

And she said that with a 20% thinning of the ozone layer there will be no agriculture anymore, because the plants will be destroyed by the toxicity of UV radiation. You can see it even on your balcony when you have your plants out there. It can already be seen that the leaves are getting brown and your plants are not growing much in the sun. So, this is maybe the biggest problem we are facing and the result of many, many effects which are destroying the ozone layer not only with the radioactivity, but also other instruments and technologies worse than any CO2 or global warming.

ST: What can we say about geoengineering and especially Stratospheric Aerosol Injection which is one of the technologies that the IPCC is in a way not suggesting but they say it can be a solution for the global warming. What do you think?

CvW: Well, because of this world-theory of global warming and CO2, we now have civil geoengineers appearing, something that didn’t exist in previous times. Now they have their research institutes everywhere, and plan to have a solution to this problem which is supposed to be “solar radiation management” SRM or SAI with which they are planning to inject aerosols into the air to block the sun from shining and from heating up the earth.

So, instead of removing CO2, because it seems impossible politically, they promote this other solution to fight against the effects of so-called global warming and this would mean blocking the sun from shining too much on earth.

So, the plan is to inject aerosols into the atmosphere and especially David Keith from Harvard University has a project called SCOPEX for this very process. In this project he wants to inject even sulphuric acid into the atmosphere imitating something like a volcanic eruption and they call it the Pinatubo effect because the Pinatubo is a volcano that exploded in 1991 and the ashes and what came out had the effect of cooling down the temperatures.

And now they are trying to imitate this effect by adding sulphuric acid into the air. Recently David Keith, this professor from Harvard University even said that tens of thousands of people would die from that at least, because it would mean to have acids down on earth which are eventually destroying all life.

I mean these are crazy experiments they are preparing, and they go for civil geoengineers and the funniest thing about this movement of civil geoengineers is that they do not speak of the military background of all these technologies they are now propagating.

And all these movements about climate change, etc., don’t know anything about it as well. It is simply denied that these are military experiments which we know already, because since 30 years there are regular aerosol-sprayings of the atmosphere, so all this is occurring already. I mean something like SRM is nothing new. We have it already in the form of the spraying of barium and aluminium and other substances that are very bad for all life and agriculture.

Monsanto for example invented a seed that is resistant to aluminium, imagine. So, things like that are occurring and the people are against it, but they don’t see that these experiments are a reality already, being a part of geoengineering, military geoengineering, that exists now for about 70 or more years. This has been a project of the second world war in which the military invented the nuclear as a weapon of war and after the nuclear they invented other weapons like those of weather control.

As Rosalie Bertell said, they invented weather wars, they invented geoengineering and they invented plasma weapons which are electromagnetic weapons used by and emitted by ionospheric heaters. This is a very special technology mostly not known which is based on the inventions of Nicola Tesla who was a physicist inventor in the 19th and 20th century.

So, this is a special technology which is not very well known, like HAARP in Alaska (now closed down) which is one of these ionospheric heaters that are working with electromagnetic waves. These waves are artificially produced and reach something like a billion watts, and they are shot high up into the ionosphere to produce certain effects leading them back to the earth.

This is a very, very dangerous technology which can also be used for producing all kinds of so-called natural catastrophes like, for example, tsunamis or earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or the change of the weather in whole regions, or producing hurricanes, droughts, fires and floods, and even changing the ocean currents.

These are technologies that are not discussed in public but exist already since the Vietnam War. They have been invented during this time and the UN Convention on Environmental Modification, the famous ENMOD convention from 1977, explains these weapons, it explains the effects they may have when they are used. So, it is not even a secret and it is decades ago that they have been invented and are in experimentation, and it is like a war that is fought against the earth and the planet as a cosmic macro-being on which we depend. This is very, very dangerous and it is exactly Rosalie Bertell who has explained to us how these technologies are functioning, namely as the post-nuclear weapons of electromagnetic mass destruction. We have these ionospheric heaters now everywhere.

ST: What is the ionospheric heater? What is, why do they use it? What is the idea? We don’t understand because there is global warming, they said that there is a global warming. So, you are heating the ionosphere, but that ’s crazy.

CvW: They are heating up the ionosphere, the sphere in the atmosphere that starts at about 80 kilometres up to about 800-1000 kilometres. It is an electrified part of the atmosphere and when they send the electromagnetic waves up there they are heating it up because when they heat the ionosphere, this part of the atmosphere, they can manage these electromagnetic rays to come down on earth again, by making a curve. They can work with an angle and, like Rosalie said, it is like a gun from the ionosphere which is directed against the earth and when this ray comes down again to the earth it is terribly destructive. These rays can even pass through the core of the earth.

ST: But it is also warming, so it is completely crazy because we have too much warming and we are sending some…

CvW: Because the warming is up there. It’s not down here. If there is any warming, it is up there. The NASA didn’t find a real warming of the earth in general, but you have different parts of the world that are warming up or have been warmed up like the poles, the polar regions and the mountains where the melting glaciers are, but it has nothing to do with a general global warming through CO2. Some of them are surely effects of the military use of ionospheric heaters. For example, in 1974 there was a treaty between the US and the Soviet Union, the secret Vladivostok Agreement in which they planned together to heat up the Arctic because they wanted the ice to go away to get to the oil on the ground of the northern sea and they couldn’t get there because of the ice. Today, half of the Arctic ice has melted down already, because they used electromagnetic waves for that. ELF waves, that are extremely low frequency waves and they have thawed the Arctic with that. It has nothing to do with global warming but with this military technology.

ST: Going back to geoengineering, the solar radiation management, do we have evidence that the program is on? I mean we see all kinds of trails in the sky and the sky is completely sometimes covered by these trails. They are persistent, staying the whole time. What do you think about that phenomenon?

CvW: It is an older military technology which has recently been implemented since about 30 years. This started in the ‘90s and, for example, you have effects in regions like Shasta in California. They have been heavily sprayed with aerosols. It’s like Agent Orange that was sprayed on Vietnam, a toxic product from Monsanto and it’s like that. It’s toxic and for example in this community of Shasta in Northern California the land is not producing anymore, everybody is sick, and the animals and plants are dying.

They had such a load of toxic materials, aerosols coming down from the sky that they got these problems, and after having analysed them they made a big event some years ago to protest publicly against the sprayings. Nevertheless, the alternative and social movements do not accept – even ETC Group, which is very important in that respect – that this has been done which is a reality for the people affected, and they are denying that SRM is used already and discussing only the bad effects which this method would have on us. So, they are against it, but they are denying that these methods are in use already everywhere. Of course, you see it in the sky, and I have done some research about why they are doing it, as the military is not interested in any global warming myth. They are even denying global warming because they know better.

ST: So, they are doing that?

CvW: Yes, they are doing that, so they know better, like Trump, who knows it from the military. But I found out that they are not interested in the global warming question or so. They are doing it because of the ozone depletion, f.i. If there is an ozone hole or weakness, they cannot pass their electromagnetic waves. They need what I call a replacement atmosphere.

They need to spray aerosols as a conductor, they need an atmosphere that is conductive, and at the holes it is not. This is the reason why they are using so many metals in the spraying, heavy metals like barium and strontium and aluminium, which is not a heavy metal, but they are all conductive for electromagnetic waves. Recently I came about a research of a woman called Schmitt who lives in Venezuela. She made an analysis of these sprayings of being protective against the cosmos, something like a Faraday cage, producing a sort of grid around the earth to protect it from radiation coming in and this also has to do with the ozone depletion. The ozone layer is really the central question that has to be an alarm for us, because this is now the moment of truth. When we are not able to prevent these things happening, this destruction happening, we will die out within 20 or 30 years.

ST: But the official story, nobody is telling, talking about the ozone depletion.

CvW: No. There was an alarm last year and there was a colleague in the US, Marvin Herndon, who was doing research about that question, together with his colleagues and he published it. He proved that ozone depletion leads to the arrival of toxic radiation down on earth. And he found out that NASA, the North American Space Agency, had come to the same result already in 2007. And they didn’t do anything. They knew it already then, but they didn’t do anything because the military thinks it can do everything it wants. If they need it, they would invent a new ozone layer. This is what they think. They think they have …

ST: A technical solution?

CvW: Yes, and they think that they can do whatever they want to do and prevent things from happening. But after all these nuclear explosions in the atmosphere and in the ionosphere and in the Van Allen belts which destroyed parts of the magnetic field of the earth, they could never replace or cure the magnetic field nor the atmosphere. They couldn’t do anything about it. They destroyed it and it is destroyed. This is one of the reasons of weather changes as well. So, there are a lot of very complex reasons of why things are happening. For example, you can even use electromagnetic waves from the ionospheric heaters in order to move the jet stream which consists of fast winds surrounding the earth, building a frontier between hot and cold. So, if you are moving them north you have the heat from the south in the north and when you are moving them down south, you have the cold from the Arctic in the middle of Europe …

ST: They influence strongly the climate and the weather

CvW: With these technologies you can do nearly everything, and you can change the vapour streams that are the humid streams around the earth. You can transport humidity to Arabia for example. This is one of the biggest businesses today, because the people there need water and you can just transport the water from here to there. So, even snow is coming down in the South Arabian desert. This is all manipulation, weather manipulation, climate manipulation. Nobody speaks about it, but it is occurring constantly. And another effect of the atmosphere being full of metal is that it is drying out, so we have much less rain in Europe for example which has nothing to do with a warming or CO2.

ST: In Italy there is drought.

CVW: Italy is drying out, and then you have fires which are also induced, not only because it is dry, but you have direct energy weapons and laser weapons. So, you can produce these fires what was happening in Portugal and Australia and in California. They have nothing to do with wildfires and they are not destroying the plants, but they are destroying the buildings. It is like a war that has passed through. All these things are discussed as being a result of global warming and CO2. It has nothing to do with that. This whole CO2 question and global warming is used to distract people from what is really happening, so that they don’t see what has been done to the planet and to the atmosphere and to the weather, etc., so they wouldn’t look at it because they think it is all global warming.

ST: Unfortunately, we have almost to close the program, but I would like to ask you something again. On May 23 – 26, we will have European elections coming. What can we do as concerned Europeans to put climate engineering and all related risks on the electoral agenda because we expect European institutions to protect the 300 million citizens from the risks of these extremely dangerous technologies. What can we do?

CvW: What we did, inform the people. We are just now publishing a book. It is called “Global Warning!”, not warming, but warning. It is going to appear soon. Ten women are explaining their research of what we are talking about now and this will be published by Talma Studies International in Dublin. So, I can recommend it. The problem is that people don’t know anything of what is happening around them, and they don’t get informed even if this is possible. The book of Rosalie Bertell exists in the 4th edition in German, it exists in Italian, French and Spanish. Everybody can read it and many people have ordered the 4th edition now, it has been printed 15,000 times. Somebody should have read it, but people don’t speak about it. The parties that are running for election have nothing to do with all this. The Greens should be the most interested in this question, but they are not.

We have to look behind the climate change-agenda. There must be somebody who wants people to be distracted, to be organized around other issues.

You have the whole Smart City and 5G movement, the technification of the society and a sort of policies of controlled reduction of production and consumption. It is like the depopulation agenda of certain people which seems to be related to that.

I think that there are other political plans, the New World Order and interests behind it.

CO2 is only the scapegoat to prevent people from looking at them.

The Greens for example are totally involved into these plans for a so called “green” economy, but this is not the case. It is not a green economy. It is a weaponized economy which we see is approaching us.

I don’t see the Left, it has no interest in the whole question because it is concerned about progress and development, to say it like that. You need a critique of these technologies. I call it military alchemy what we have now. But the Left is not interested in that and the other parties in any case not at all as well. So, I don’t know who is going to be interested from the point of view of the parties. People are not informed and they don’t get informed and people who speak about it are called conspiracy theorists, etc. How to get to that to change, the change from believing in these ideologies from above in order to see what is happening in reality? How can people like this Greta and the young people get informed about the reality? They should know what is really going on and not what is supposed to go on. This is the problem. It is why I wrote the letter to Greta Thunberg, to get her informed and as I know she even recognized ultimately that there is a military problem but not the one we are discussing, that of military geoengineering.

ST: Did she answer you?

CvW: No, of course not. Because there is a big movement behind her, the CO2 movement is behind her, of course. There have been plans: 7 years ago, it has already been discussed how to mobilize the youth. This is not just a venture of the people but an organized campaign of the other side.

ST: Claudia we have to stop unfortunately, but we will present your book when it is going to come out and maybe we can present the book of Rosalie Bertell one more time because our task is to inform people. We do what we can to inform people.

CvW: Maybe you can translate it for Italy and the Netherlands.

ST: Yes, unfortunately, I have to stop but I thank you very much for being with us this evening and I hope to speak to you again.

CvW: Thank you. Bye bye.

A rise in CO2 occurs after a warming. In the words of late Prof. Bob Carter, "Saying CO2 causes global warming is like saying lung cancer causes smoking."

CO2 is nothing but a byproduct of a warming.
Besides, CO2 is life-giving.

Some people say "global warming" is a code for Nibiru, the destroyer. Its orbit is perpendicular to those of other planets and Nibiru will be visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Thus the recent obsession of the elite with Antarctica.

I thought about making this my last article on climate for this or any other website except my own. I planned the action some time ago, but it was the recent headline in the Telegraph (https://flipboard.com/@TheTelegraph/'climate-change-is-a-risk-investors-can't-ignore':-blackrock-latest-to-sound-the/f-4ec1dce62b/co.uk) that triggered this penultimate move. It said, "Climate change is a risk investors can't ignore: Black Rock latest to sound the alarm on environment." Climate change is not a risk factor. Current climate and climate changes are normal and well within the pattern of change over history, certainly the last 10,000 years. The world believes otherwise, despite efforts by me and others to make the correct information available.

This means that after 50 years (1968-2019) of trying to educate the public about the weather, global warming, and climate change I achieved little or no change in understanding, attitude, or most importantly, policy on the world stage. My attempts to counter the massive deception that began as human-caused global warming (AGW) and later shifted to human-caused climate change, fell short. The deception is now what people accept, although they don't necessarily believe. Because of that it is now the underlying reason for all policy on energy and environment that are the mainstay of these business-world views, indeed all views.

The only risk is not climate, but the one that governments created by the pseudoscience of climate science. All elements of society from energy to the environment and from industry to business and daily living are based on completely unnecessary and expensive limitations. The sad irony is that the climate change risk the investors face is a shift to colder weather when all governments are warning them to prepare for warmer conditions. This false basis for society thinking and planning is so pervasive that it is unlikely to change.

I am frustrated by the success of the deception, but I am angry about the waste of time, money, and opportunities lost. I think about the trillions wasted on a non-existent problem while real problems go wanting. For example, it is likely that enough money was wasted, [enough] to provide clean water and adequate sewage (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?106497-Debunking-Romantic-Ideas-About-the-Past&p=1291420&viewfull=1#post1291420) for the entire world.

Apart from my overall failure, there was one failure restricted to the skeptics that might create different results. Skeptics are people who recognized the false science used to create the threat of human-caused global warming. It's a group that slowly grew in numbers over the years but achieved little impact in the wider community. A major reason is the division of that community into approximately 15% who are competent and comfortable in science and 85% who are not. While I achieved some recognition in this group of skeptics, I failed to convince them that the wider public would never understand climatology. Worse, I failed to convince them that even if they could identify all the bad science, manipulation of data, creation of false and misleading reports, and deliberate exaggeration of stories to amplify fear that they wanted, it would do little to spread the truth and correct the story. I failed to convince the skeptics that without explanation of the MOTIVE, people would not listen to their critiques and warnings.

Recently, I received the charge through my web site that I was just "another conspiracy theorist." Other attempts to marginalize included the term global warming skeptic or climate change denier. These were effectively what I call collective ad hominems, but the fall back dismissal was usually that you are a 'conspiracy theorist.'

It is encouraging that a recent article (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/17/william-lind-looks-beneath-the-global-warming-narrative/) appeared on the WUWT website that proposes a motive for the misuse of climate.
But the Left seeks far more. In fact, its goal is nothing less than total control of every aspect of human life, which we call "totalitarianism", justified by fear of climate change. The types of commentary that article will engender are predictable. They will indicate why people have not considered motive in the discussion to date. It is a classic Catch 22 you must provide a motive and marginalized or don't provide one and get no traction with the wider public. [B]It is critical to remember that you are asking people to believe that a small group of people managed to deceive the world into believing that a trace gas (0.04% of the total atmosphere) was changing the entire climate because of humans. In addition, that group convinced many others to participate in the deception. The public view is that deceiving so many is just not possible. The trouble is it was possible. To paraphrase Lincoln, they effectively fooled most of the people and marginalized the few not fooled.

After 50 years of combating hysteria over climate change, it is time to take a new direction. I say a new direction because the last 50 years attempted to educate the people to the lie that is human-caused global warming and effectively changed nothing. It especially did not change the unnecessary, ineffective, and massively expensive energy and environment policies that control everything in the world. When I see a car advertisement identifying its low CO2 output as a major selling feature, I know how badly I lost. Millions of more people now believe in AGW than when I began. Now, most governments believe and act on the AGW belief compared to the few when I started.

The first 10 years of the 50 involved dealing with the threats about the end of the world due to global cooling. The last 40 years dealt with the same threats about warming. In recent years, I used the quote from Lowell Ponte's 1976 book The Cooling to illustrate how similar they were.
It is cold fact: the global cooling presents humankind with the most important social, political, and adaptive challenge we have had to deal with for ten thousand years. Your stake in the decisions we make concerning it is of ultimate importance; the survival of ourselves, our children, our species. Change the seventh-word "cooling" to warming, and it applies to the entire 50 years. What happens going forward? What are governments preparing for? Is it appropriate? Are we victims of the adage that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing? Will governments prove once again that they always make a situation worse?

In the 1970s I knew that the cooling trend would end because it fit the overall pattern. This included the longer-term emergence from the nadir of the Little Ice Age circa 1680 and shorter cycles since. The world warmed from 1900 to 1940, cooled from 1940 to 1980, warmed from 1980 to 1998 and has cooled slightly from 1998 to the present.

Fortunately, the idiots we call leaders did nothing about the climate when cooling was the trend in the 1970s. Unfortunately, after the 1980s they began to succumb to the lies, misrepresentations, and pressure of the eco-bullies; those who used the environment and later climate for a political agenda. We needed the paradigm shift to environmentalism because it doesn't make sense to soil our own nest. However, as with all such shifts, a few seized it for the power and financial rewards it provided. They were able to obtain power up to the UN General Assembly. They introduced the full environment and climate change plans at the Earth Summit conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 as Agenda 21.

The movement appeared to falter at the international level when even Greenpeace (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/rio-20-earth-summit) announced that Rio +20 (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/rio20) was a failure. This was not a falter but exactly as Maurice Strong and the proponents of Agenda 21 planned. The entire objective of Agenda 21 is firmly ensconced in all societies through the municipal level of government.

The climate plan that isolated and demonized CO2 through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was designed and implemented at the national level through every weather office in nations throughout the world. This puts the idea and control of those countries almost completely in the hands of the deep state and beyond the control of international and national politicians. They then promote the concepts of the environmental and climate plans through the Climate Action Plan imposed at the Municipal level. This puts the original plan of thinking globally and acting locally into practice at the lowest political level. A conference in San Francisco in July 2018 (https://www.voanews.com/a/california-governor-plans-host-global-climate-summit/3931543.html) explains the objective.
California Governor Jerry Brown has announced that a Global Climate Action summit will be held in San Francisco in September 2018, in a challenge to President Donald Trump's plan to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord.

Nearly 200 nations have signed the 2015 agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are widely thought to be responsible for rising temperatures, and Brown is one of a number of local and regional leaders working to build coalitions without Trump. Here is what one mayor wrote (https://www.citylab.com/perspective/2018/09/dont-overlook-equity-issues-in-city-climate-action-plans/569965/) about what occurred in San Francisco.
The Global Climate Action summit (https://www.globalclimateactionsummit.org/) in San Francisco began on Wednesday. This year's goal: "Take Ambition to the Next Level."

What is that next level? As part of the We Are Still In (https://www.wearestillin.com/), Mayors Climate Alliance (http://climatemayors.org/), and other city climate-action efforts, many U.S cities are creating their first ever climate-action plans; others are rewriting theirs to meet more ambitious goals. The next level is ensuring that these multi-year plans integrate equity considerations or risk perpetuating an unjust life for millions of already marginalized Americans. The original intention of the CO2 pseudoscience deception was purely political as this quote confirms. Note the word "equity." It confirms quotes that were around before the deception reached the world stage. Former US Senator Timothy Wirth who went on to head the UN Climate Foundation said,
"We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing, in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." Former Canadian Environment Minister Christine Stewart said,
"No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." What those quotes really mean is that we must use the climate for total political and economic control. If people continue to buy the false science story so much the better. For example, on April 13, 2019, US Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (https://www.bostonherald.com/2019/04/16/elizabeth-warren-is-out-with-a-new-public-lands-plan/) promised,
Besides an executive order barring new fossil fuel leases on public lands on shore and offshore, Warren said Monday that she would work toward boosting U.S. electricity generation from renewable sources offshore or on public lands. This is planned despite the failure of such actions everywhere they are applied.

The climate deception and the climate debate are complete and, though they will continue, they are irrelevant. The Paris Climate Agreement is almost dead. At the 2018 meeting of the Green Climate Fund, the Director resigned (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-04/un-s-green-climate-fund-at-low-point-after-director-resigns).
Howard Bamsey, an Australian diplomat who served as the GCF's executive director since January 2017, resigned after a "difficult" meeting in which no new projects were approved, according to a statement released after the gathering in Songdo, South Korea. There are many charges and warnings of corruption (https://www.newsweek.com/2015/11/20/green-climate-fund-must-fight-corruption-it-can-beat-global-warming-391771.html) and misuse of funds (https://www.transparency.org/news/pressrelease/transparency_international_urges_fair_and_accountable_management_of_green_c) against GCF. The institutions associated with climate change at the international and national level are collapsing. It creates an illusion that the skeptics are winning. It distracts from the fact that the entire focus quietly shifted to the municipal level and is infiltrating through the world. Much of the funding for the San Francisco meeting came from the World Bank.

I agree with the author who claims the misuse of climate was originally a left-wing agenda for control. However, I think the idea is so attractive because it is under the cloak of 'saving the planet' that it fits the platform of all politicians. They all want control. The only difference is in the degree and method. Of course, the ultimate irony is that the massive cost of this anti-CO2 system is only possible because of the one thing it demonizes, fossil fuels.

As a result of this train of events, I decided to stop trying to educate people about the global deception that is AGW. It is a firmly established false fact. Most skeptics know this because many are stunned by the strong hostile reaction they get when they state their position publicly. In many cases, they become ostracized in their family. The challenge now is to help people understand the differences between deceptively derived policies, and what is the best, most adaptive, most profitable, and most rewarding strategy for survival of the individual, business, or industry. In this age of the big lie, survival and success strategy is more important and challenging than ever. I want to help people bridge the gap between the false world of government and the real world. I will not achieve that through explaining the corrupted science but providing a credible motive.

SOTT Comment (https://www.sott.net/article/413067-Dr-Tim-Ball-A-new-approach-to-explaining-the-big-lie-of-climate-crises-is-needed): Dr. Ball underscores the starkness of the situation when he acknowledges that - even amongst the 15% who "are competent and comfortable in science" and see the climate deception - he was still unable to convince them that their critiques of bad science will go unnoticed without people first understanding the climate alarmists' motives - which is total economic/political control. In other words, it's not really about 'saving the planet' or 'our children's future' at all.

To better understand the motives behind our governments' misguided goals and policies on climate change, see Andrew M. Lobaczewski's, Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes) (https://www.amazon.com/Political-Ponerology-Science-Adjusted-Purposes/dp/1897244258).

“Today’s Green New Dealers and their allies have mapped out their own totalitarian strategies.”

“They want to control what we say and think, even what ideas and information we can find online and in print, television, radio and social media.”
– Paul Driessen
______________
‘Battles over “dangerous manmade climate change,” Green New Deals and Green New Deals Lite are intensifying,’ writes Paul Driessen.

‘To help drive the climate chaos narrative – and many other liberal campaigns – Google, Facebook and other social media and online information platforms have stepped up their efforts to “shadow ban” climate realist and conservative speakers and thinking, censor and alter online information, and marginalize ideas that run afoul of liberal views and agendas.’

‘My article summarizes what is at stake on the climate and energy front, presents examples of electronic book burning and social media bias, and offers suggestions for what America can (and should) do to rein in attempts to censor and silence conservative, religious and other voices in the news media, social media and online search engines.’

Fear, loathing, intolerance – and worse

The climate-fearing, capitalism-loathing Left cannot abide questions or differing opinions

By Paul Driessen

Throughout history despots had effective ways of reducing dissension in the ranks. Inquisitors burned heretics. Nazi’s burned books – before taking far more extreme measures. Soviets employed famines, gulags, salt mines and executions. ChiComs and other tyrants starved, jailed and murdered millions.

Today’s Green New Dealers and their allies have mapped out their own totalitarian strategies.

They proclaim themselves socialists, but their economic policies and tolerance for other viewpoints reflect a different form of government – fascism:
A political system in which authoritarian government does not own businesses and industries, but strictly regulates and controls their actions, output and rights – while constraining and suppressing citizens and their thought, speech and access to information.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has “no problem” with the fact that implementing her Green New Deal would require “massive government intervention (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/02/08/ocasio-cortez_we_have_to_break_the_mistaken_idea_that_taxes_pay_for_all_spending.html),” wealth redistribution on an unprecedented scale, and many trillions of dollars in new debt. GNDealers want to totally eliminate fossil fuel production and use, and control how much we can drive and fly, heat and cool our homes, eat meat, and live our lives.

If retrofitting 29 million British homes to make them climate-friendly would cost $5.6 trillion (https://www.thegwpf.com/decarbonisation-and-the-command-economy/?utm_source=CCNet+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ebef527d59-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_08_02_41&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_fe4b2f45ef-ebef527d59-36450745) – remaking America’s 125 million generally larger private homes would easily cost $25 trillion! Putting just five million electric cars on California roads would require 5 billion pounds (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6eemjhuvdg9ok5f/KNZR%20Terry%20Maxwell%20-%20Ron%20Stein%20-%20050119.mp3?dl=0) of lithium-ion batteries.

Replacing fossil fuels that provide 82% of our energy and 100% of countless plastic and other products would require biofuels grown on tens of millions of acres. Replacing coal and gas-generated electricity with wind and solar would require millions of turbines and panels, on tens of millions more acres, billions of tons of rare earth and other metals, and hundreds of billions of pounds of lithium-ion batteries.

China controls all those rare earth metals (https://www.amazon.com/Groundbreaking-Americas-Quest-Mineral-independence/dp/1729669522) and most of the lithium, cadmium and cobalt (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/batteries/congo-cobalt-mining-for-lithium-ion-battery/) needed for all that pseudo-renewable, pretend-sustainable energy. They are produced in China (http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/environment/baotou-a-toxic-lake-created-because-of-a-thirst-for-technology/article/430511) and Africa (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/01/Child-labour-behind-smart-phone-and-electric-car-batteries/), often with child labor and near-slave labor, and with virtually no health, safety or environmental safeguards.

Meanwhile, Asian, African and EU nations are building or planning over 2,000 coal and gas-fired power plants. So even US elimination of fossil fuels would do absolutely nothing to reduce global CO2 levels. Moreover, citizens are likely to rise up in loud opposition to having millions of wind turbines, solar panels, batteries and biofuel plantations in their backyards and across scenic vistas and wildlife habitats.

GNDealers don’t want to talk about any of those ethical, social justice or environmental issues – or about the GIGO computer models and bald assertions of Climate Armageddon (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/12/19/new-svensmark-paper-the-missing-link-between-cosmic-rays-clouds-and-climate-on-earth/) that have no basis in real-world evidence (https://townhall.com/columnists/pauldriessen/2019/03/07/anticlimate-science-totalitarians-n2542777). They don’t want anyone else talking about it, either. They want to control what we say and think, even what ideas and information we can find online and in print, television, radio and social media.

They loath and fear ideas, facts and questions that challenge their views and political power. Free speech and access to other people’s free speech is a clear and present danger to their perceived and asserted wisdom on fossil fuels, capitalism, manmade climate chaos, Western culture, and who should make policy decisions on energy, economics, jobs, living standards, religion, civil rights and other matters.

Their version of “free speech” thus includes – and demands – that their critics have no free speech. On college campuses, in “mainstream” and social media, on search engines, in online information libraries, even in the arts, bakeries and K-12 education, thought control and electronic book burning are essential. Despite having a 12 to 1 ratio of liberal to conservative professors, leftist college faculty, administrators and students still ban, disinvite, disrupt and physically attack conservative speakers and their hosts.

They harass Trump administration officials in restaurants – and “dox” political opponents, revealing their names and home addresses, so that other radicals can harass, intimidate and attack them … thereby “persuading” others to stay silent. They assaulted North Korean escapees (https://pjmedia.com/trending/asians-harassed-by-thugs-for-wearing-maga-hats-were-north-korean-defectors/) for wearing MAGA hats.

The Big Tech monopoly routinely implements electronic book-burning tactics. Google and other internet search engines (https://pjmedia.com/trending/google-search-results-show-pervasive-anti-trump-anti-conservative-bias/) systematically employ liberal biases and secret algorithms to send climate realism articles (http://www.cfact.org/2018/02/11/googles-global-warming-search-bias/) to intellectual Siberia and censor conservative thinking and discussion. Google YouTube (https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/17/prageru-facebook-google-youtube/) blocks access to Prager University (PragerU.com) videos that its censors decree offer “objectionable content” on current events, history, constitutional principles, environmental policies and other topics.

Google helps the Chinese government (https://video.foxnews.com/v/5850155154001/?#sp=show-clips) deny its citizens access to “dangerous ideas” – and says nothing when China sends a million Uighur Muslims to “reeducation camps.” Its hard-left employees ostracize any conservatives they still find in their ranks … and claim helping the US Defense Department with Cloud computing or artificial intelligence surveillance would “violate their principles.”

Facebook “shadow banned” an ad (https://www.cfact.org/2019/05/03/algorithms-and-shadow-bans-threaten-free-speech-and-political-diversity/) promoting a Heartland Institute video that called on millennials to reject socialism and embrace capitalism. Facebook censors told Heartland they “don’t support ads for your business model” (capitalism) and would not reveal “red flags” and trade-secret algorithms they use to “identify violations” of their policies and “help preserve the integrity of our internal processes.” Google suppressed Claremont Institute ads (https://www.wsj.com/articles/our-brush-with-google-censorship-11557268757?mod=itp_wsj&ru=yahoo) for a talk on multiculturalism and political speech restrictions.

Twitter routinely engages in similar cold, calculated censorship of views it opposes.

Wikipedia posts distorted or false bios (https://www.heartland.org/topics/infotech-telecom/Wikipedia/index.html) for climate realist experts and organizations – labeling me an anti-environment lobbyist – and then pops up ads soliciting money for its biased “educational” material. Securing corrections is a long, often fruitless process. Even more totalitarian, the Southern Poverty Law Center (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-23/splc-implodes-president-and-legal-director-resign-after-co-founder-ousted-over) uses phony “hate speech” claims to defund and “deplatform” conservative groups like David Horowitz’s Freedom Center (https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/25/david-horowitz-wins-credit-card-donation-showdown-credits-breitbart-drudge/), by pressuring credit card companies to close off donations to them.

State attorneys general (https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/04/gores_ricostyle_prosecution_of_global_warming_skeptics.html) and members of Congress (https://www.cfact.org/2015/10/19/elizabeth-and-sheldon-torquemada/) want to prosecute and jail people for “denying the reality” of “manmade climate cataclysms.” Worst of all, the callous organizations and policies that Big Tech supports cause millions of deaths every year (https://www.masterresource.org/u-s-us-agency-for-international-development-usaid/obamas-carbon-colonialism-corruption-i/), by denying impoverished nations and families access to the modern energy, insect control and agricultural technologies that its vocal, racist elements loathe.

Creating conservative competitors or finding ways around these social media and fake info behemoths is vital, but would be stymied by their sheer size, wealth and dominance. Trust busting by the FTC, other federal agencies, Congress and the courts (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/may/12/kamala-harris-cory-booker-and-elizabeth-warren-202/), à la Standard Oil Company, should certainly be considered.

These cyber-giant social media and information platforms may be private companies, but they wield massive power, especially with younger generations that get almost all their information online. They are entirely dependent on the internet – which was created by US government agencies and taxpayers. (“You didn’t build that,” President Obama might tell Google.) They have become essential, dominant public forums for discussing and evaluating public policies that increasingly affect our lives.

A federal judge has ruled (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/23/trump-cant-block-twitter-followers-federal-judge/) that President Trump may not block hate-filled criticism from his Twitter account. Because it is a public forum, akin to a park or town square, for discussing important policy and personnel matters, it is protected by the First Amendment. Blocking unwanted tweets is therefore viewpoint discrimination, and Twitter is not beyond the reach of First Amendment public forum rules, she held. Her reasoning should not apply only to the President and his most obnoxious critics.

The right of free speech and free assembly – to participate fully in debates over important political and public policy matters – is the foundation for the other rights and freedoms that enable our vibrant nation to function. Banning, censoring and deliberately falsifying certain viewpoints deprive major segments of our population and electorate of the right to speak, be heard, become informed, examine all sides of an issue, and live in harmony, peace and prosperity.

Viewpoint censorship, bullying and silencing violates the basic rights of speakers, students, professors, voters and all people whose views an elite, intolerant, power-hungry few have deemed “inappropriate” or “hurtful” to the sensitivities of climate alarmist, pro-abortion, atheist and other liberal factions.

It’s time to take action, demand investigations, and rein in the monopolistic cyber censors.

James Delingpole notes: (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/17/guardian-re-names-climate-change-global-heating-to-sound-scarier/)

"There is, in essence, no such thing is a 'climate science denier' because not even the most ardent sceptic denies the existence of 'climate science'.

Even more problematic is that use of the word 'denier', which implicitly invokes the Holocaust - and in doing so, weirdly and irresponsibly puts 'being sceptical about anthropogenic global warming' in the same category as 'denying that Hitler murdered six million Jews.'

In recent years, climate alarmists have tried to backtrack on the origins of the 'denier' slur by pretending that they never intended to invoke Holocaust denial.

But here (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/sep/21/comment.georgemonbiot) is Guardian environment journalist George Monbiot writing in 2006:
Almost everywhere, climate change denial now looks as stupid and as unacceptable as Holocaust denial. Maybe Ms Viner should pay more attention to Thomas Sowell (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/01/27/sowell-the-catchwords-climate-change-deniers-reveals-political-crusade/) on this subject:
"The next time someone talks about "climate change deniers," ask them to name one - and tell you just where specifically you can find their words, declaring that climates do not change. You can bet the rent money that they cannot tell you.

Why all this talk about these mythical creatures called "climate change deniers"? Because there are some meteorologists and other scientists who refuse to join the stampede toward drastic economic changes to prevent what others say will be catastrophic levels of "global warming."

There are scientists on both sides of that issue. Presumably the issue could be debated on the basis of evidence and analysis. But this has become a political crusade, and political issues tend to be settled by political means, of which demonizing the opposition with catchwords is one." Sowell's point is well made - and goes to the heart of what is wrong with the Guardian's new lexicon for its climate change reportage.

The Guardian is tacitly admitting that this is not an argument it is capable of winning on the science or indeed the facts. Therefore, it has decided to ramp up the rhetoric instead."

[Didgevillage]

Your questions have been covered by @Hervé but here is my take.


What I don't understand is why is there hysteria over climate change?
Lets for one moment assume that it is caused by human action regardless of merit.
They are still talking about severe consequences in 50 to 100 or more years and they want to take action now.

The hysteria is created artificially to cloud the issue, so to speak, so that people remain ignorant about the fast approaching Ice Age glacial.
It has nothing to do with human action, and "carbon footprint or fingerprint" is laughable.
Yes, there will be severe consequences in less than 50 years if actions are not taken immediately at the government level, i.e. protect its population from heavy snow which will not melt and form ice sheets. Technologies are available but only for a small number of elites.



Also, a couple of volcanoes going off will cool the earth. So what now, we now need to fight volcanoes so that the earth warms?


Volcanic activities are a sign of Ice Age glacial. Geologists are not sure as to why.



My kids are being taught at school about global warming and when I ask if they are teaching the science, I get blank stares. Science? What is that thing?

It reminds me of Rupert Sheldrake's "Science Delusion"
Just like liberal education in English-speaking countries, it has done a lot of damage to the young for the entire life. It is called programming

My question is: Is this really all due to a secret off-world agenda designed to bring about massive extinction events, to create an entirely different biosphere, one in which humanity probably cannot survive?

There is an entire lobbying industry out there happy to debunk anthropogenic global warming. It would be wise to carefully vet those who are pointing their fingers at climate scientists with claims they are liars, naive, etc...to determine whether they are compromised or delusional themselves.

Climate change scare stories reach the point of psychological TERRORISM… while scientists blame the fear on the “climate crisis”

https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-05-20-climate-change-scare-stories-psychological-terrorism.html?utm_campaign=%22Climate%20crisis%22%20scare%20stories%20escalate%20to%20psychological %20terrorism&utm_medium=email&utm_source=EOACLK#


(Natural News) The corporate media cartels have become hubs of hatred and “journo-terrorism” that targets the psyche of the masses. The quack science hoax of so-called “climate change” is used to terrorize the public into believing that their planet will somehow be destroyed by carbon dioxide — the very molecule that has been rapidly re-greening the Earth over the past four decades, according to NASA.

Now, a new round of “science” has been studying the mental stress of the victims of this psychological terrorism pushed by the dishonest media, and they’ve reached an even more bizarre conclusion. Scientists now claim that climate change is causing “mental anguish” among humans. Seriously.

Of course, the real source of the mental anguish is the lies and panic propaganda of the corporate media and the pathetic scientific establishment which has figured out that if you want more government grant money, you have to conduct “research” that identifies some new crisis to be blamed on climate change. In fact, the very phrase “climate change” isn’t scary enough yet to achieve the desired goal of mass mental terrorism, so media outlets around the world are now ordering their obedient writers to start using the phrase “climate crisis.”

And if you don’t believe there’s a “climate crisis,” then you will of course be banned from all online platforms, just like Apple recently banned Natural News, claiming our content failed to mirror the “scientific consensus” on topics like climate science.

You are now required to panic… and if you don’t, you will be censored and de-platformed
And there you have it: All news outlets, researchers and individual voices are now required to panic over the climate, or you will be banned and silenced. This is what so-called “climate change” has come to: a dangerous CULT of quackery and left-wing lunacy. Like all cults, those who are deeply embedded in the cult demand that everyone else join their cult or be forever silenced.

The very same people who believe in a “climate crisis,” by the way, are the kind of people who cut off their own penis and scrotum using a scalpel in an effort to become a “nullo” — a gender-neutral, obedient “progressive” who exhibits no reproductive organs whatsoever. This, we are told, is the ultimately expression of tolerance and progress.

Or maybe, perhaps, all these lunatics are just f##king insane, and they spend their lives terrorizing each other over make-believe fear scenarios in order to achieve some illusion of self-importance as they desperately try to navigate a world that makes no sense to them because the rational portions of their brains have been short-circuited with fear, hatred and social engineering propaganda. The zombie apocalypse is here, and the zombies are the libtards who have proven themselves to be utterly incapable of independent thought.

If only they would all cut off their own balls, we could have this entire surge of lunacy self-eliminated in just one generation of “progressivism,” via the laws of natural selection.

The future of liberalism is a scarred, bloodied newborn baby and a Netflix special celebration of the “progressive” parents who slice apart their own child in the name of gender neutrality
Instead of free condoms and drug needles being handed out in liberal cities, perhaps it’s time to lobby city leaders to hand out free scalpels and ice packs so that obedient libtards can self-mutilate to the extent required to be sufficiently embraced by the Left Cult. If cutting off your penis and scrotum makes you a progressive, maybe “woke” women will start slicing off their own breasts soon, while being celebrated by The View for “casting aside the old biology of gender.”

Don’t cringe. This is exactly the kind of stupid, psycho s##t these people keep coming up with, even as they claim the world will end in 12 years if we don’t stop producing food through the use of diesel-powered tractors.

If you thought infanticide and the murder of post-birth babies was bad, just wait until some liberal lunatic decides to mutilate their newborn baby with a scalpel to make them “gender neutral” … followed by Good Morning America featuring the newly-mutilated baby as a “great symbol of progressivism” while GoFundMe raises a billion dollars for the parents, who are offered a Netflix deal for a documentary that highlights them as champions for human progress.

The future of liberalism isn’t a boot stamping on your head forever; it’s actually a screaming, bloodied, scarred baby that has been violently attacked and had its penis sliced off by “progressive” parents while obedient doctors watch and cheer in order to support political correctness and keep their jobs in hospitals that maim babies for profit while billing the federal government for “gender-restorative procedures” which are nothing more than horrific crimes committed against human babies that somehow survived the Left’s post-birth abortion procedures.

According to the Left, if you stab a newborn just a few times in the right places, it’s called “progressivism.” If you keep stabbing and murder the baby, it’s called “women’s health” (i.e. abortion).

You can’t make this up. You can’t even dream this up in a nightmare. Liberalism is beyond any nightmare the world has ever witnessed in human history. The Left Cult is a death cult, and they can’t wait to kill themselves and as many other people as possible as they take down humanity in the name of “environmental justice.

The climate warming bs..is of the table already..this is why they quickly changed it into "climate changing"....... Which is a word game. Planet earth always had climate changes and always will have.......

the CO2 production on earth is mainly caused by water and not by us. The oceans are producing Co2 sometimes more sometimes less...it is up to the activity of the sun.....more activity more Co2....aso.....



http://aun-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/4500YearTempChart.jpg

but surely whatever we do towards nature will have it effects somehow........................................... .................


The alternative energy producers we have today, are not always the perfect solutions also.



For example the ugly metal towers...called windmills....or wind turbines to produce electricity do not only ruin the natural view of the area where ever they put it up...

Those wind turbines often give a high sound while working, called ultrasound which is not very healthy to live close by. And those metal windmills kill many birds.......how come nobody seems to realize this?



https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2015/09/25/wind-turbine-noise-what-you-cant-hear-can-harm-you/




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIYLA7n912o

So it is clear...you can not really compare those giant metall turbines to the good looking and harmless wood wind mills they have in the Netherlands.....

this so called modern ones..are harmful to us and towards the nature and wild life around them...

and I would not call this green energy at all.......:facepalm:

[Seabreeze]

Just was thinking about those birds killing metal towers....Why can`t the at least put some protection cover over it..for example like the Fan`s have one? Or something else..so the birds don't get killed by the rotating turbines.... Cant be so difficult to develope something better, than what they use now......

https://shop.bajajelectricals.com/Images/Catalogue/Product/ExtraLarge/250242.jpg

just an idea....

or maybe another possibilty to produce more clean electricity without to destroy more of nature, the natural view and animal wild life.....

I was thinking about our water pipes....where the water is running through all the time for us..to cook with, to run the washing machine, to take a shower..aso....

I am not a technican or developer.... but I was thinking of to put small turbines or wheels inside of our water pipes..to catch some of the water energy this way..to produce electricity....

the pipes are there....the water is running through it... Just another phantasy idea of mine..??.....If this would be possible it would not ruin more nature or harm anybody..... But like I said..it is just an idea and I dont really know if this is technical possible.... I have my dreams....

Whatsover...I am sure there are better ways we should go......

We should protect nature and it`s wild life...and stop creating more and more technology which harms it..... .

A scientific paper published by a team of Australian researchers has revealed a startling find: Scientists at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) have been "adjusting" historical data regarding tide levels in the Indian Ocean. Their "highly questionable" activities have depicted rapidly rising seas - but the truth is that there is no reason to be alarmed at all. Scientists have found that sea levels are stable (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41748-017-0020-z) - and have been for the entirety of the 20th century.

To put it simply, these PSMSL "scientists" have been arbitrarily changing their data in order to create the illusion of a problem that doesn't actually exist.

According to the Australian research team, sea levels in the Indian ocean have remained stable for decades. Dr. Albert Parker and Dr. Clifford Ollier recently published their astounding research in the journal Earth Systems and Environment; their extensive research gives an in-depth look at how this massive deception was undertaken.

PSMSL "realigned" stable sea level trends
As the researchers report, there are multiple lines of evidence that show sea levels in the Indian Ocean are completely stable. Further, the scientific duo explains that the data-adjusters at PSMSL were taking "misaligned or incomplete" sea level data (which showed no rise in sea levels, or even decreasing sea levels) and "realigning" them.

As Parker and Ollier contend, "It is always highly questionable to shift data collected in the far past without any proven new supporting material." But what makes the PSMSL's data shifts even more questionable (https://notrickszone.com/2017/12/04/whistleblower-scientists-psmsl-data-adjusters-are-manufacturing-sea-level-rise-where-none-exists/#sthash.36S66JGp.K5TjcYrn.dpbs) is the fact that older datasets were adjusted to look lower while all newer sets of sea level data were re-configured to appear higher. When these arbitrary adjustments are taken together, it creates the appearance of a significant and concerning rise in sea levels - one that is entirely artificial.

As reported:
The sea levels in India, including Mumbai, and in Karachi, Pakistan, have been recently analysed and discussed in Parker and Ollier (2015) and in Parker (2016). In both cases, it was shown that the latest positive trends in the PSMSL RLR [revised local reference, adjusted] data are only the result of arbitrary alignments, and alternative and more legitimate alignments reveal very stable sea-level conditions. Further, the researchers state that there are even greater concerns regarding the PSMSL's so-called findings. They wrote:
What are more dangerous are the corrections recently introduced to the past to magnify the sea-level trend or the acceleration. As shown in the prior section, the adjustments introduced by PSMSL to make the RLR [revised local reference, or adjusted data] are arbitrary in Aden, Karachi, and Mumbai. In one instance, Parker and Ollier referenced a 1991 study which showed that sea levels in Mumbai were falling by an average of 0.3 millimeters per year between the years of 1930 and 1980. The duo states that in PSMSL's latest report, they declare that sea levels in Mumbai were rising by 0.52 millimeters per year during the same time period.

In other words, PSMSL completely changed data collected decades ago to show an increase in sea levels, rather than the decrease that was actually reported at the time.

To sum it up, Ollier and Parker have found there is no reason to believe that sea levels are rising - and that PSMSL has been wantonly adjusting sea level data to create the appearance of a problem that doesn't actually exist (https://www.hoax.news/).

Scientists use real data to show sea levels are stable
The Australian researchers declared in their paper, "Contrary to the adjusted data from tide gauges and the unreliable satellite altimeter data, properly examined data from tide gauges and other sources such as coastal morphology, stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, archaeological remains, and historical documentation indicate a lack of any alarming sea-level rise in recent decades for all the Indian Ocean."

In other words, a non-biased look at the original data from the tide gauges indicates that there is nothing to be worried about; current sea levels are well within "normal" ranges. In fact, the pair states in the conclusion that sea levels across multiple sites of the Indian Ocean have been stable for "all of the 20th century."

The pair of scientists also state in their paper that all key data collection points have shown a sea level rise of 0.0 millimeters for at least the last 50 years - which is an indicator of stability in ocean levels.

A recent report by NASA (https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-07-26-nasa-confirms-sea-levels-have-been-falling-across-the-planet-for-two-years-media-silent.html) even showed that sea levels are actually taking a downward turn for the last few years - findings that lie in stark contrast to PSMSL's alarmist report on sea level data.

There has been much controversy and fanfare over the alleged threat of rising sea levels (https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-07-25-doomsday-climate-change-scare-tactics-now-claiming-coastal-people-will-drown-to-death-from-sudden-ocean-level-rise.html), but it seems that much of this excitement is based on fiction rather than reality.

Ultimately, Parker and Ollier concluded that sea levels are, and have been, quite stable during the past century.

“Beginning in the 1980s, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund became leading advocates of the global warming agenda. … In their Sustainable Development Program Review, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund boasts of being one of the first major global warming activists, citing its strong advocacy for both the 1988 formation of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 establishment of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.” (excerpt from Report)

This informative report is brought to the attention of Global Research readers. The CRG does not necessarily endorse the contents of this report. What is important to emphasize is the role of the Rockefeller family –which historically were the architects of “Big Oil”– in supporting the Climate Change debate as well as financing the NGOs involved in grassroots activism.

The Rockefellers are arguably the wealthiest and most powerful family in the history of the United States. For more than 100 years, they have shaped and directed America’s economic, financial, political, and public policy while simultaneously amassing one of the largest family empires in the modern era.

Most Americans hold the billionaire philanthropists in high esteem, associating the Rockefeller name with “oil” and “capitalism.” In reality, the Rockefellers are intent on controlling nearly every major institution in America, using philanthropy as a means of increasing their influence on the world stage under the guise of advancing various social causes. Their avid opposition to the very fossil fuel industry that made John D. Rockefeller America’s first billionaire shows that the Rockefellers are not political ideologues. Instead, they are mere opportunists who support political agendas convenient to enhancing their leverage in the global arena.

Through the Rockefellers’ web of family foundations, universities, and institutions, as well as huge grants to other charities, they have gained unprecedented influence in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Their highly complex integration of hedge funds, interlocking boards positions, and non-profit organizations has steered public policy on these issues and provided them with foreknowledge of emerging markets and access to the developing worlds’ natural resources.

Since the beginning of their philanthropic endeavors, the Rockefellers have used social causes to amass influence in policy areas of their choosing. Since the 1980s, their cause of choice has been the climate change agenda (originally called global warming). Their crusade to collapse the fossil fuel industry in favor of renewable energy is well-documented, from their involvement in major global climate treaties and organizations – the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1992 to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol – to spending hundreds of millions to advance the renewable energy industry. Through their Sustainable Development Program, the Rockefellers continue to promote their self-serving “clean energy” policies throughout both the federal government and general public.

As the most prolific benefactors of the climate activist movement, the Rockefellers’ impact on the energy industry sees no bounds, as the family’s objectives permeate throughout federal and state energy policy, as well as international social engineering globalist compacts such as Agenda 21. With the immeasurable influence that accompanies mass wealth and power, the Rockefeller empire has proven an effective puppeteer of advancing its main objective: the destruction of the fossil fuel industry to increase its clout over the energy sector.

On November 5, 2015, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (above) launched an unprecedented investigation into ExxonMobil to determine if the company had defrauded investors by not disclosing the risks that climate change could have on its business.1 This occurred only weeks after the Columbia Journalism School’s (CJS) Energy and Environment Reporting Fellowship accused Exxon of misleading the public through its Los Angeles Times article, “How Exxon went from leader to skeptic on climate change.”2

Despite the raging debate over the impact of man-made climate change, left-leaning politicians, lobbyists, and most significantly, billionaires, have declared it settled science, using the issue as a means of gaining control over the energy arena. Research shows that Eric Schneiderman’s legal investigation, as well as Columbia Journalism’s negative portrayal of ExxonMobil were neither objective nor independent. In fact, substantial evidence leads to the premise that both Columbia Journalism School’s accusations against ExxonMobil and Eric Schneiderman’s legal investigation into the oil giant were not only financed, but orchestrated by the Rockefeller family.

Notably, the Rockefellers bankrolled the Columbia Journalism School’s Energy and Environmental Reporting Fellowship Project’s demonization of the oil company.3 However, both Schneiderman’s investigation and Columbia Journalism School’s publications were years in the making.

The Rockefeller Family Fund hosted and led two closed door meetings with prominent climate activists – one in 2012 and one in January 2016. Uncovered emails show that the main issue at both gatherings was how to best take down the fossil fuel industry.4 Aside from key leaders of the Rockefellers’ many foundations, both summits included the major players in the climate movement such as: Matt Pawa (attorney at the Center for International Environmental Law), Sharon Eubanks (director of the Department of Justice’s tobacco litigation effort in the 1990’s and known anti Exxon activist), representatives of Greenpeace, and Carroll Moffit of the Climate Accountability Institute.5 During both summits, Eric Schneiderman was considered the possible catalyst to spearhead the legal investigation, while ExxonMobil was repeatedly mentioned as the possible target.

Schneiderman’s fervent outspokenness against “climate deniers,” and public call to enact policies conducive to increasing renewable energy use made him a perfect and willing candidate.6 When announcing his crusade against Exxon, Schneiderman cited studies from the Rockefeller funded outlets Inside Climate News and Columbia Journalism School’s Exxon reports.7 Revealingly, numerous members of the Rockefeller family had long urged Schneiderman to investigate the oil company.

However, as evidenced in the Rockefeller-hosted La Jolla 2012 meeting report, the family and climate activists needed a well-known, respected, and objectively perceived media outlet to push the public narrative. Although not disclosed in the summit’s documentation, it appears they found one in the Columbia Journalism School. While arguably the most prestigious journalism school in the country, the Columbia Journalism School is not only a beneficiary of millions in Rockefeller donations, it is composed, almost entirely, of professors closely affiliated with the green movement.


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Steve_Coll_%28American_journalist_and_writer%29.jpg/220px-Steve_Coll_%28American_journalist_and_writer%29.jpg


In 2013, a year after the plan was crafted, climate alarmist and author of a well-known book condemning ExxonMobil, Steve Coll, was appointed Dean of the Columbia Journalism School.

Not surprisingly, Coll spearheaded the school’s Energy and Environmental Reporting Fellowship’s project that smeared Exxon. Coll is closely tied to the Rockefellers, as he previously chaired the climate change proponent New America Foundation, which received significant funding from the family. These revelations suggest that the Rockefellers used their influence over both the Columbia Journalism School and Steve Coll to put Coll in place as Dean, providing him the platform to do what he had done voluntarily and enthusiastically once before: publically and thoroughly castigate ExxonMobil.

Along with Coll, as a bastion of climate activists, the Columbia Journalism School was likely an eager participant in the plot to smear Exxon. At least seven CJS professors are directly connected to green activist billionaire George Soros, receiving either awards or significant amounts of money from the socialist philanthropist. Moreover, several CJS alumni board members are prominent climate change advocates, including Scott Dodd, and Thomas Watkins.

This report proposes that the assault on ExxonMobil was neither the idea of Eric Schneiderman, nor the Columbia Journalism School. Instead, the Rockefellers, with the help of other billionaires and prominent climate activists, carefully orchestrated both the legal and media investigations into ExxonMobil in an effort to achieve their goal of collapsing the fossil fuel industry to gain control over the energy sector.

Some people speculate that increasing smog will cause our atmosphere to capture and retain more solar heat, gradually melting the world's icecaps. But I believe smog and other factors, such as changing carbon dioxide content and volcanic dust, will prove only marginal in their effects on our climatic future.

Dr. Hurd C. Willett, Professor of Meteorology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, suggests the answer. Dr. Willett, one of our staff affiliates this year, has shown us how cyclic changes in the climate closely parallel the cyclic changes in sunspot activity-the manifestations of powerful electrical energy discharges from the sun.* We now feel confident that our investigations here back up the solar-climate theory of weather cycles. Sunspots have been diligently recorded for well over 200 years. We find that glacier fluctuations over these past two centuries show a tantalizing correlation, taking into account the glaciers' flow lag, with sun storms and temperature trends.

‘Bullet points’ proving CO2’s innocence.
Geologists know climate change unrelated to atmospheric CO2 occurred throughout Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. Yet the IPCC has no geologists among the hundreds of appointed authors of its Fifth Assessment Report of 2014 and its Sixth Report due in 2022. Thus IPCC incredibly lacks both geological input and long-term perspective.

25 simple bullet points proving CO2 does not cause global warming: by a geologist for a change

Dr Roger Higgs,
Geoclastica Ltd, Technical Note 2019-11,
6th April 2019, on ResearchGate

We urgently need to expose the ‘CO2 = pollutant’ fallacy being forced upon your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces by schools, universities, governments and mainstream media worldwide, and to denounce it in scrupulously truthful terms easily understood by the public, including those youngsters themselves.
Here are the 25 bullet points proving CO2’s innocence:
1) Geologists know climate change unrelated to atmospheric CO2 occurred throughout Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. Yet the IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has no geologists among the hundreds of appointed authors of its Fifth Assessment Report of 2014 and its Sixth Report due in 2022 (see my Technical Note 2019-10). Thus IPCC incredibly lacks both geological input and long-term perspective.

2) IPCC’s very existence relies on public belief in manmade or ‘anthropogenic’ global warming (AGW) by CO2 emissions. Moreover its appointed authors, mostly government and university researchers, are nearly all biased by strong vested interests in AGW, i.e. reputations (publications, lectures) & continuance of salaries & research grants. Similarly, major universities have abandoned their scientific impartiality & integrity by hosting research institutes mandated to confirm & act on AGW, e.g. Grantham Institute (Imperial College), Tyndall Centre.

3) The often-repeated ‘97% consensus among scientists that global warming is man’s fault’ (CO2 emissions) is untrue. It refers in fact to surveys of just a relatively small group of ‘climate scientists’ (a fairly new type of scientist, with strong incentives for bias; see Bullets 2 & 15), moreover only those who are ‘actively publishing’.

4) ‘Climate change denier’ & ‘global warming denier’ are despicable & dishonest terms for ‘AGW doubters’. No educated person disputes global warming, as thermometers measured 1°C rise from 1850 to 2016 (with pauses).

5) The ‘Greenhouse Hypothesis’, on which IPCC’s belief in AGW is based, is that atmospheric gases trap heat. But this old (19th century) notion is merely an idea, not a hypothesis, because it is untestable, impossible to prove in a laboratory as no experimental container can imitate Earth’s uncontained, well-mixed atmosphere.

6) IPCC computer models are so full of assumptions as to be extremely unreliable, e.g. forecast warming for 1995 to 2015 turned out to be 2-3 times too high ! A likely reason is that the greenhouse idea is nonsense, as explained in recent publications by several scientists. See Bullet 19 for an equally drastic failure of IPCC models. See also https://www.wnd.com/2017/07/study-blows-greenhouse-theory-out-of-the-water/ https://principia-scientific.org/r-i-p-greenhouse-gas-theory-1980-2018/

7) For about 75% of the last 550 million years, CO2 was 2 to 15 times higher than now. Evolution flourished, CO2 enabling plant photosynthesis, the basis of all life. Extinction events due to overheating by CO2 are unknown.

8) Through the last 12,000 years (our current Holocene interglacial period), CO2 was a mere 250 to 290 ppm (parts per million), near plant-starvation level, until about 1850 when industrial CO2 emissions began, making CO2 climb steeply. Nevertheless CO2 today it is still only 412ppm, i.e. under half of one-tenth of 1% of our atmosphere

9) Until man began adding CO2 about 1850, warming (determined from ‘proxies’ like tree rings) since the 1600AD Little Ice Age peak was accompanied by slowly rising CO2 (measured in ice cores). A simple explanation is CO2 release by ocean water, whose CO2-holding capacity decreases upon warming.

10) Supporting this sign that CO2 is a consequence, not cause, of global warming, a published study of 1980-2011 measurements showed that changes in warming rate precede changes in CO2’s growth rate, by about a year.

11) Since the 1850 start of man’s additions, CO2’s rise has generally accelerated, without reversals. In stark contrast, the post-1850 to present-day continuance of warming out of the Little Ice Age was interrupted by frequent small coolings of 1-3 years (some relatable to ‘volcanic winters’), plus two 30-year coolings (1878 to 1910, 1944 to 1976), and the famous 1998 to 2013 ‘global-warming pause’ or ‘hiatus’ (Wiki).

12) This unsteady modern warming instead resembles the unsteady rise of the sun’s magnetic output from 1901 toward a rare solar ‘Grand Maximum’ peaking in 1991, the first in 1700 years !

13) Modern warming reached a peak in February 2016. Since then, Earth has cooled for 3 years (now April 2019).

14) The ‘Svensmark Theory’ says increased solar magnetic flux warms Earth by deflecting cosmic rays, thus reducing cloudiness, allowing more of the sun’s warmth to heat the land and ocean instead of being reflected. In support, a NASA study of satellite data spanning 32 years (1979-2011) showed decreasing cloud cover.

15) Vociferous IPCC-involved climate scientist Dr Stefan Rahmstorf (Wiki) of the German government’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, recipient of a US$1 million personal research grant from a private foundation, wrongly said in his 2008 article ‘Anthropogenic Climate Change’: “there is no viable alternative … [to CO2 as driver of modern warming from 1940 to 2005 because] … different authors agree that solar activity did not significantly increase” during that period. Yet nine years earlier, in 1999, famous physicist Dr Michael Lockwood (Wiki; FRS) wrote, in ‘A Doubling of the Sun’s Coronal Magnetic Field During the Past 100 Years’, published in prestigious Nature journal: “the total magnetic flux leaving the Sun has risen by a factor of 1.4 since 1964” and 2.3 since 1901 !! See for yourselves the striking overall 1964-91 climb in solar-magnetic output, recorded by the strong overall fall in detected neutrons (proportional to cosmic rays), in graph 3 here … https://cosmicrays.oulu.fi

16) Lockwood showed averaged solar magnetic flux increased 230% from 1901 to 1995, i.e. more than doubled ! The final peak value was 5 times the starting minimum value ! Bullets 17 & 18 likewise back Svensmark’s theory…

17) … after the previous solar Grand Maximum (4th century, long before industrial CO2), in the next decades Earth warmed to near or above today’s temperature. Then ‘sawtooth’ cooling proceeded, through the Dark Ages and ‘Medieval Warm Period’, into the Little Ice Age, paralleling a 1,000-year unsteady solar decline; and …

18) … before that, between 8000 and 2000BC, Earth was occasionally warmer than today for hundreds if not thousands of years, as shown by tree rings, shrunken glaciers, etc.. Then unsteady cooling from 3000BC into the Little Ice Age paralleled unsteady solar decline following the Holocene’s ‘super-Grand’ Maximum near 3000BC.

19) This 4,500-year cooling contradicts IPCC computer models that instead predict warming by the simultaneous (slow) rise in CO2. This is the ‘The Holocene Temperature Conundrum’ of Liu et al. (2014). See also Bullet 6.

20) Embarrassingly for AGW promoters, the 8000-2000BC warm interval (Bullet 18) was already, ironically, named the ‘Holocene Climatic Optimum’, before today’s CO2/AGW hysteria began. The warmth probably benefitted human social development. Indeed, it was cold episodes, bringing drought and famine, that ended civilisations.

Cross-correlating post-1880 graphs of solar-magnetic flux versus Earth’s temperature suggests a 25-year timelag, such that the 2016 peak temperature corresponds to the 1991 solar peak. The lag is probably due to the ocean’s high thermal inertia due to its enormous volume and high heat capacity, hence slow response to warming.

22) IPCC, ignoring the possibility of such a time-lag, claims that simultaneous global warming (until 2016) and solar weakening (since 1991) must mean that warming is driven by CO2 !

23) The last interglacial period about 100,000 years ago was warmer than our Holocene interglacial. Humans and polar bears survived ! CO2 was then about 275ppm, i.e. lower than now (Bullet 8).

24) The simultaneous rise of temperature & CO2 is a ‘spurious correlation’. Warming’s real cause was a solar build-up to a rare Grand Maximum, which man’s industrialisation accompanied by chance. So IPCC demonising CO2 as a ‘pollutant’ is a colossal blunder, costing trillions of dollars in needless & ineffectual efforts to reduce it.

25) Global cooling now in progress since February 2016 can be predicted to last at least 28 years (i.e. to 2044), matching the sun’s 28-year decline from 1991 to today, and allowing for the 25-year time-lag (Bullet 21). Inescapable conclusion: IPCC is wrong − the sun, not CO2, drove modern global warming.

When we started our careers, it was considered an honor to be a member of professional societies that helped practitioners keep up with the latest developments in their fields through relevant meetings and publications. Senior author Dr. Jay Lehr had the privilege of leading one of these societies long ago.

But things are different now. Whether it be chemistry, physics, geology or engineering, many of the world's primary professional societies have changed from being paragons of technical virtue to opportunistic groups focused on maximizing their members' financial gains in support of the climate scare, the world's greatest science fraud. In particular, they continue to promote the groundless hypothesis that carbon dioxide emitted as a result of mankind's use of fossil fuels is leading to environmental catastrophe. You have been hearing about it for the past decade and more, with 21 candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in the next election promoting some form of a Green New Deal - a plan to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power thereby returning society to the lifestyle of the 1880s.

Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, wrote in 1994 that radical greens had taken over the organization after the fall of the Berlin Wall, leaving him no choice but to resign. The takeover of environmental institutions by extremists is now almost complete, the most important of which may be the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). President Donald Trump is aggressively trying to win back the EPA in the best interests of the nation, but it is an uphill battle as the climate cult has also taken control of academia, political parties, and governments themselves.

An example of how professional societies have apparently been hijacked by extremists concerns the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta, Canada (APEGA). Allan MacRae, a prominent long-time member of APEGA, was named to receive its most distinguished lifetime achievement award in 2019. Then APEGA staff learned that MacRae had written publicly about the damage done to humanity and the environment by radical greens. APEGA leadership strongly condemned his comments and his award was withdrawn. It led MacRae to write "Hypothesis: Radical Greens are the Great Killers of Our Age, (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/)" which explains the APEGA award withdrawal and to support his contention that radical greens have done enormous harm to humanity and the environment with their destructive, misguided policies. MacRae writes,

"APEGA refused to discuss the evidence, and baselessly claimed the moral high ground."
One commenter responding to MacRae's essay posed a question, (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/#comment-2680301) the answer to which tells an important story: "How did the Greens get control of APEGA?" Another commenter answered: (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/#comment-2680317)
The same way they have taken over every other professional organization. The actual members are too busy building their careers and actually working in the field to spend much time worrying about the day to day operation of the organization. As a result, they are taken over by lawyers and activists whose interest is in pushing their own agenda, not advancing science for humanity. Another reader commented (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/#comment-2680425):
"The long march through the Institutions" as proposed by the Frankfurt school back in the 1930s was launched knowing it would be a generations long policy. Here we are three generations on and they have now taken control of all the western institutions as planned. The socialists do not stop just because their prime construct, the USSR failed in 1990. They regard that failure as simply work in progress. The climate as a tool which can never be tamed, was a genuine piece of strategic genius by the COGS (constantly offended green socialists). They will not stop. The destruction of humanity is too big a prize, they view this activity as pressing the Earth's reset button." The same thing is happening in the United States, where feathers were really ruffled at the American Physical Society (APS) when Dr. Hal Lewis, emeritus professor of Physics at the University of California, sent his resignation letter to the Society after being a member for 67 years. In his letter, he described the joy of working with brilliant physicists for decades, when no one expected to get rich in this field. Lewis explained how studies done within the society had effective oversight that enabled members to stake their reputations on the work of the organization. He said that has all now changed. Open dialogue has disappeared and all organization policies follow the new politics of the organization leadership rather than the membership. It is apparently focused on the money that accrues to the organization and its members by going along with popular concerns.

Lewis' letter can be found here (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/10/16/hal-lewis-my-resignation-from-the-american-physical-society/). A telling quote from that letter follows:
It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone that has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents which lay it bare. Lewis went on to state that he recruited over 200 members of APS to oppose the new APS policy that fully supports the global warming fraud. Their request for a hearing on the issue was completely ignored.

On March 31, 2019, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) issued a press release announcing the launch of The Climate Solutions Community, a broad committee to identify viable solutions to mitigate, adapt, and become resilient to the effects of climate change. They totally buy into the dangerous man-made climate change hypothesis with no consideration of alternative points of view. AIChE's description of their efforts highlight the fact that employment can be gained for their members as a result of the climate scare.

The Geological Society of America (GSA) has fallen into the same trap. In April 2015, GSA issued (https://www.geosociety.org/gsa/positions/position10.aspx) a Position Statement asserting that:
Human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s (IPCC, 2013). If the upward trend in greenhouse-gas concentrations continues, the projected global climate change by the end of the twenty first century will result in significant impacts on humans and other species. The GSA backs up the statement with vague evidence from paleoclimates and offers their full support for the reports of the widely discredited United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

As is evident from the process described on the GSA Position Statement FAQs web page (http://www.geosociety.org/GSA/Science_Policy/Position_Statements/FAQ/GSA/Positions/FAQ.aspx), the full membership of GSA is not polled after the development of Position Statements. Consequently, it is unknown what fraction of the membership actually support the final statement. However, clearly, GSA leadership recognize that such a position offers employment to many of their members trained in geology.

The lockstep march of professional societies in support of climate alarmism has been going on for years. For example, fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) and a leading Canadian energy expert, the late "Archie" Robertson of Deep River, Ontario, explained in the April 28, 2006, edition of the National Post what happened in Canada:
To claim that the IPCC-2001 assessment was "supported by the Royal Society of Canada" is stretching the truth. Prior to last year's Montreal conference, the president of the Royal Society of London, whose manner of promoting Kyoto has been criticized, drafted a resolution in favour and circulated it to other academies of science inviting co-signing. The Canadian Academy of Science is one of three academies within the Royal Society of Canada (the other are from the humanities). The president of the RSC, not a member of the Academy of Science, received the invitation. He considered it consistent with the position of the great majority of scientists, as repeatedly but erroneously claimed by Kyoto proponents, and so signed it. The resolution was not referred to the Academy of Science for comment, not even to its council or president (I learned this when, as a member of the Academy of Science, I inquired into the basis for the RSC supporting the resolution). A similar episode happened in the United States and Russia concerning The Royal Society initiative. Pronouncements from other science bodies are often just the opinions of the groups' executives or committees specifically appointed by the executive. The rank and file scientist members are rarely consulted at all.

Past IPCC lead author Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explained the problems with a previous National Academy of Sciences report here (http://eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen/OpEds/LindzenWSJ.pdf) and concluded: "there is no consensus, unanimous or otherwise, about long-term climate trends and what causes them."

All of this seriously damages the image of these once-respected professional societies in the eyes of both the public and the membership.

The climate cult that has taken over the environmental movement has never been about the environment. It has always been a mechanism to advance socialism, grow government, reduce individual rights, reduce human population, and ignore the human suffering and environmental damage their policies cause. Activists promoting this anti-human, anti-environment agenda appear to suffer emotional and psychological problems which they seem to deal with by attempting to make others miserable.

On April 27, 1961, at a speech in New York City, President John F. Kennedy said (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptCF-VriRoU):
We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence - on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Those words describe socialism, a system sold as Utopia. It appears that a yearning for Utopia never dies, because it springs from innate spiritual qualities of humanity. But as we have seen in every instance of national-scale socialist "Utopias" such as Cuba, China, Russia, and Venezuela, the result is inevitably suffering, scarcity, environmental degradation, oppression, and death. Truth, reason, and logic are the first values sacrificed along the way. Professional Societies must stop supporting it.

Lost in the news was the successful victory by Dr. Tim Ball, a retired University of Winnipeg professor, in a defamation lawsuit brought against him


Lost in the news yesterday, or perhaps more accurately, not covered in the news by the mainstream media yesterday, was the successful victory by Dr. Tim Ball, a retired University of Winnipeg professor, in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by the notoriously thin-skinned Michael Mann of the infamous and thoroughly debunked ‘hockey stick’ theory related to global warming.

This is the second lawsuit successfully defended by Dr. Ball. The first was dismissed last year in which B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver sued for defamation and lost. Apparently, in the courts, the truth is still an absolute defence.

And so it proved in the lawsuit brought by Penn State prof Michael Mann as decided by B.C. Courts this week.

Dr. Ball is called a cynic or a denier deemed so by the worshipers of the religion of climate change. All he has done is merely point out the holes in their arguments and apparently they get all snitty about that.

If you don’t believe as they do you’re the devil.

A denier.

A word correlated to those who deny the Holocaust as though if you don’t accept the religion of climate change you’re the same as the racists who deny the Holocaust.

Dr. Mann was exposed for manipulating the data he used to create the so-called hockey stick graph. And no amount of protesting he may do will change that.

Why he is still employed at Penn State is a mystery. There’s a significant credibility issue surrounding his work as upheld by the courts. Dr. Ball, tongue in cheek, said he should be in the state pen as opposed to Penn State.

The problem is that things like the hockey stick graph, no matter that it has been debunked, is at the heart of our political policy and legislation like the carbon tax.

And the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, won’t brook any dissension. Neither will the recently rescued from career oblivion after his resignation in the SNC-Lavalin scandal, Gerald Butts, who calls anyone who disagrees a nazi.


qZUyIxrJ1ac

I am not a scientist. I am but an old ex-cop and investigator who looks for evidence before coming to a conclusion in matters. And that evidence does not support the position of McKenna or the government. Nor does it support any reason to impose a carbon tax on the economy which is punitive at a time our economy should be flourishing along with that of our largest trading partner.

But the Prime Minister and the rest of the Liberal government are true believers despite the evidence to the contrary.

I’m sure that the fact that Butts is a former executive leading the eco-loons at the World Wildlife Foundation plays a role. He believes what he believes and no amount of evidence will sway his opinions. Unfortunately, his opinions, however wrong, have dire consequences on the country as a whole.

Good on Dr. Ball for standing up to the eco-loons. Pity the media would rather spout the government nonsense rather than cover the result of an actual court case.

https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535570/large/Michael_Mann_Faces_Bankruptcy_.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535570/full/Michael_Mann_Faces_Bankruptcy_.jpg)


Supreme Court of British Columbia dismisses Dr Michael Mann's defamation lawsuit (https://www.desmogblog.com/sites/beta.desmogblog.com/files/Mann-Ball%20Libel%20Claim.pdf) versus Canadian skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball. Full legal costs are awarded to Dr Ball, the defendant in the case.

The Canadian court issued it's final ruling in favor of the Dismissal motion that was filed in May 2019 by Dr Tim Ball's libel lawyers.

The plaintiff Mann's "hockey stick" graph, first published (https://www.nature.com/articles/33859.epdf?referrer_access_token=UcQMRAUPUscPRGtZ_nmN0tRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PIU6928D7U3LQJxug20QYL9ES IIW5WxXKIhZdkFHPvJyCgGXYnBzO2iiIqbRp1deponI44NSXsWPHevD1owOCzy-M7seCPmAtP9uptNzLwM0cPBtAqbyWTRLYziB4QAcNUZppYicirN1qvEePdK7PXfPV0rWC3s1R_r-yu5jgaARXTHsmrZypQ4t2zgUOLblqSL4dO3ayXicSrBFhH94ERlk4rGXq0DDsogNi_Vg4Asw%3D%3D&tracking_referrer=blogs.scientificamerican.com) in 1998, was featured prominently in the U.N. 2001 climate report. The graph showed an "unprecedented (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/12/historical-video-perspective-our-current-unprecedented-global-warming-in-the-context-of-scale/)" spike in global average temperature in the 20th Century after about 500 years of stability.

Skeptics have long claimed Mann's graph was fraudulent.

On Friday morning (August 23, 2019) Dr Ball sent an email to WUWT (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/08/22/breaking-dr-tim-ball-wins-michaelemann-lawsuit-mann-has-to-pay/) revealing:

"Michael Mann's Case Against Me Was Dismissed This Morning By The BC Supreme Court And They Awarded Me [Court] Costs."

A more detailed public statement from the world-renowned skeptical climatologist is expected in due course.

Professor Mann (https://news.psu.edu/expert/michael-mann) is a climate professor at Penn State University. Mann filed his action on March 25, 2011 for Ball's allegedly libelous statement that Mann "belongs in the state pen, not Penn State." The final court ruling, in effect, vindicates Ball's criticisms.

Previously, on Feb, 03, 2010, a self-serving and superficial academic 'investigation (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/feb/03/climate-scientist-michael-mann)' by Pennsylvania State University had cleared Mann of misconduct. Mann also falsely claimed (https://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2011/03/there-he-goes-again-mann-claims-his.html) the NAS found nothing untoward with his work.

But the burden of proof in a court of law is objectively higher.

Not only did the B.C. Supreme Court grant Ball's application for dismissal of the 8-year, multi-million dollar lawsuit, it also took the additional step of awarding full legal costs to Ball.

This extraordinary outcome will likely trigger severe legal repercussions for Dr Mann in the U.S. and may prove fatal to alarmist climate science claims that modern temperatures are "unprecedented (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/12/historical-video-perspective-our-current-unprecedented-global-warming-in-the-context-of-scale/)."

According to the leftist The Guardian newspaper (Feb, 09, 2010 (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/feb/09/hockey-stick-graph-ipcc-report)), the wider importance of Mann's graph over the last 20 years is massive:
"Although it was intended as an icon of global warming, the hockey stick has become something else - a symbol of the conflict between mainstream climate scientists and their critics." Under court rules, Mann's legal team have up to 30 days to file an appeal. For readers interested in accessing the court website directly, use this link (https://www.bccourts.ca/search_judgments.aspx).

'Hockey Stick' Discredited by Statisticians in 2003
In 2003 a Canadian study (http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/MM03.pdf) showed the "hockey stick" curve "is primarily an artefact of poor data handling, obsolete data and incorrect calculation of principal components." When the data was corrected it showed a warm period in the 15th Century that exceeded the warmth of the 20th Century.

So, the graph was junk science. You could put baseball scores into Mann's Climate Model and it would create the Hockey Stick.

But the big question then became: did Mann intentionally falsify his graph from motivation to make profit and/or cause harm (i.e. commit the five elements of criminal fraud (https://www.bochettoandlentz.com/criminal-fraud-vs-civil-fraud-whats-difference/))?

No one could answer that question unless Mann surrendered his numbers. He was never going to do that voluntarily - or face severe consequences for not doing so - that is, until Dr Ball came into the picture!

Evidence in Legal Discovery and the Truth Defense
Dr Ball's legal team adroitly pursued the 'truth defense' (https://www.minclaw.com/legal-resource-center/what-is-defamation/is_truth_a_defense_to_defamation/) such that the case boiled down to whether Ball's words ("belongs in the state pen, not Penn State") after examining the key evidence (Mann's R2 regression numbers (https://www.datatechnotes.com/2019/02/regression-model-accuracy-mae-mse-rmse.html)) fairly and accurately portrayed Mann.

The aim was to compel the plaintiff (Dr. Mann) to show his math 'working out' to check if he knowingly and criminally misrepresented his claims by resorting to statistical fakery (see: 'Mike's trick' below).

In the pre-trial Discovery Process (https://www.supremecourtbc.ca/sites/default/files/web/The-Discovery-Process.pdf) the parties are required to surrender the cited key evidence in reasonable fashion, that they believe proves or disproves the Claim.

Despite Ball's best efforts over 8 years, Mann would not agree to surrender to an open court his math 'working out' - those arcane R2 regression numbers (https://www.datatechnotes.com/2019/02/regression-model-accuracy-mae-mse-rmse.html) for his graph (see Mann's latest obfuscating Tweet in the 'update' at foot of this article).

But throughout 2017 and 2018 any reasonable observer could see through such endless delays from the plaintiff - all just attritional tactics.

The Penn State professor had persistently refused to honor the binding "concessions (https://principia-scientific.org/breaking-key-un-climate-fraudster-makes-concessions-tim-ball-lawsuit/)" agreement he made to Ball which ultimately gave his legal team the coup de grace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_de_gr%C3%A2ce) to win the case for the defendant due to Mann's 'Bad Faith' (see: legal definition here (https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/bad+faith)).

Dr. Ball always argued that those numbers, if examined in open court, would have conclusively proved Mann was motivated to commit a criminal fraud. It was at this point legal minds could discern Ball was closing in on victory - a triumph for 'David over Goliath.'

And Mann certainly is a science 'Goliath.' Ever since featuring so famously in the UN IPCC 2001 Third Assessment Report (https://web.archive.org/web/20060913043522/http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/) (TAR) Mann's graph has been an iconic image cited relentlessly by environmentalists clamoring for urgent action on man-made global warming.

For the past two decades the biased mainstream media has acclaimed Mann as "a world-leading climate scientist" and last year he was heralded as their champion to help dethrone "climate denier" President Trump.


https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535568/large/independent.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535568/full/independent.jpg)


Indeed, not just a fawning MSM, but many hundreds of subsequent climate studies have relied on Mann's findings. Mann's reputation was such, that most climate researchers merely accepted his graph, a typical example of groupthink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink).

Dr Ball has long warned that if the world was permitted to see behind the secrecy they would be shocked at just how corrupt and self-serving are those 'scientists' at the forefront of man-made global warming propaganda.

As anyone can tell by contrasting and comparing the graphs below (Mann's version top, Ball's below) it is obvious there exists a massive discrepancy in the respective findings.


https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535567/large/mann_ball_graphs.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535567/full/mann_ball_graphs.jpg)


Above: contrast and compare Dr Mann's dodgy graph with Dr Ball's more reliable version (based on that of the renowned H. H. Lamb (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/06/24/hh-lamb-climate-present-past-future-vol-2-in-review-part-i/)) and see how Mann fraudulently altered the proxy climate date with a 'hockey stick' shape to falsely show the dramatic uptick with modern temperatures rising 'catastrophically' to fit the fake UN IPCC doomsaying narrative.

Have Skeptics Ever Proven that Mann's Graph was Deliberately Faked?
Answer: No. This is because Mann has always refused to release his R2 regression numbers (https://www.datatechnotes.com/2019/02/regression-model-accuracy-mae-mse-rmse.html) for independent examination.

He claimed his secrecy was justified because he held "proprietary rights" (https://principia-scientific.org/the-ipcc-and-proprietary-rights-does-the-law-trump-justice/) over them (i.e. personally valuable intellectual work product, you see). So "valuable" to Mann was the secrecy of his metadata that losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit and his reputation was the ultimate price he was prepared to pay.

While steep, I guess, that's preferable to serving a long federal prison stretch, right?

Before Ball's glorious court victory, little more could be conclusively proven other than the hockey stick graph uptick stupidly (and unscientifically) relies on the proxy evidence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_%28climate%29) from the tree rings of a single Yamal larch!

Mann could thus sleep safe in the knowledge that as long as statistical experts remain deprived of any conclusive proof of his intent to defraud, they could only find him guilty of incompetence.

Putting Mann's Fraudulent Graph Under the Microscope
For an easy-viewing summary by Tim Ball please watch the video:


dcdPM5FY8Ug
Mann's goal was to make the Little Ice Age (LIA) disappear, as we explained in our previous article (https://principia-scientific.org/what-michael-manns-hockey-stick-graph-gave-to-un-climate-fraud/) on this issue. The LIA was an especially cold era that ended around 1840 and since then global temperatures have gradually risen. But government 'experts' like Mann have sought to use statistical trickery to make such natural variation appear as 'man-made' warming.

Apart from playing with statistics Mann made his proxy fit the thermometer data by adding thermometer values to the proxy values known as "Mike's trick" in the climate gate email scandal (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/6679082/Climate-change-this-is-the-worst-scientific-scandal-of-our-generation.html).

From the emails released during the Climategate scandal (https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Climategate) Professor Phil Jones, Britain's top climate scientist at the University of East Anglia was shown to have written the following to his alarmist colleagues (some analysis here (https://jhammerton.wordpress.com/2009/11/29/climategate-on-the-mikes-nature-trick-email/)).

The email, sent by Prof Phil Jones of the CRU in 1999, states:
Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
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. Mike's series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Cheers
Phil This has the Hockey Stick Graph showing the same cooling from 1942 to 1975 as the HadCRUT3 data as posted in the IPCC 2001 AR3

In 1942 there was just 4.0Gt of emissions increasing to 17.1Gt by 1975 but since this 425% increase in CO2 emissions didn't cause any global warming during this 33 year period; the conjecture of CO2 emissions induced (catastrophic) global warming was proven false.

Victory that Comes at Great Personal Cost
Behind the scenes, gathering the resources, mental, scientific and financial, there is an untold burden of defending these cynical SLAPP suits.

Lest readers forget, it is mostly in the service of misguided public policy, with massive funding and connivance from political operators in play, that fake scientists like Michael Mann and Andrew Weaver acquired such esteemed public positions.

They are not only despicable human beings they are a disgrace to all decent scientists.

Readers will be aware that this author has been a staunch friend and ally to Tim throughout the hardships of this protracted 8-year legal battle.

Our reputations were routinely trashed by our enemies, so it is sweet justice that the court has now given legal credence to Tim's famous words that Michael Mann "belongs in the state pen, not Penn State," a comical reference to the fraudulent 'hockey stick' graph that knowledgeable scientists knew to be fakery.
[Author Note: Being very much a party to these legal proceedings (having provided Dr Ball with the financial security of a legally-binding indemnity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indemnity) in the event Tim lost) it is a monumental vindication of my faith in Tim's cause. In effect, I 'bet the farm' on Tim winning, as graciously reported by Jo Nova (below)]
Knowingly Fraudulent and Corrupt
During 2018, while Tim Ball's hard work was winning "concessions (https://principia-scientific.org/breaking-key-un-climate-fraudster-makes-concessions-tim-ball-lawsuit/)" from Mann's legal team in Canada, south of the border, (on April 20) a shameless Mann wrote (https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/earth-day-and-the-hockey-stick-a-singular-message/) in Scientific American this utter nonsense:
"Yet, in the 20 years since the original hockey stick publication, independent studies, again and again, have overwhelmingly reaffirmed our findings, including the key conclusion: recent warming is unprecedented over at least the past millennium." Gullible and brainwashed greens and the many self-serving politicians swallowed up this garbage.

Dr Ball Expresses Gratitude to Principia Scientific International
Speaking in this 2018 video (https://principia-scientific.org/video-dr-tim-ball-on-importance-of-michael-mann-lawsuit/) on the gravity of what some scientists have called "The science trial of the Century," Dr Ball revealed his gratitude to his colleagues at Principia Scientific:

Dr Tim Ball:
I know John O'Sullivan who set up the Principia site and I know I wrote a foreword and a chapter in one of the books they produced called Slaying the Sky Dragon (https://www.amazon.com/Slaying-Sky-Dragon-Greenhouse-Theory/dp/0982773412).

John O'Sullivan comes from his anti-government [stance], very legitimately and unfortunately, it's not until you've actually directly personally experienced that; challenging the government - that you realize how nasty they can get. So John knows very well how nasty these things can get - that anyone that dares to challenge the authorities.

And so, Principia was set up for that reason, and John was the one that helped me set up the PayPal so people could help me financially so, that's my disclaimer with that." As Jo Nova reported on the joannenova.com.au blog (http://joannenova.com.au/2012/01/john-osullivan-puts-his-house-on-the-line-more-than-any-skeptic-ought-to-be-asked-to-do/):


https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535563/large/NOVA_1.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535563/full/NOVA_1.jpg)

"John O'Sullivan is putting in above and beyond what any single skeptical soul ought to.

He's already been a key figure helping Tim Ball in the legal fight with the UVA establishment, which has spent over a million dollars helping Michael Mann to hide emails. The case was launched by Michael Mann, but could turn out to do a huge favor to skeptics — the discovery process is a powerful tool, and we all know who has been hiding their methods, their data, and their work-related correspondence.

Tim Ball and John O'Sullivan are helping all the free citizens of the West. The burden should not be theirs alone. There are many claims for help at the moment, but that is a sign that the grand scam is coming to a head. Jo" Two out of Two Major Court Wins By Ball Versus Junk IPCC Scientists
Dr Ball, now affirmed as a courageous champion of honest science, has assured his place in the annals of real climate science. His gift to the world was sacrificing eight of his senior years, when he could have been enjoying his retirement, to exposing key players in the biggest science fraud of all time.

People too easily forget Dr Ball has defeated in expensive legal battles not just one top UN IPCC climate scientists, but two!

This latest victory is the second this champion of climate skepticism has enjoyed in the last 18 months in this same jurisdiction - both for "defamation," both multi-million dollar climate science claims.


https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535562/large/weaver_1.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535562/full/weaver_1.jpg)


We reported (February 15, 2018 (https://principia-scientific.org/update-tim-balls-huge-courtroom-win-now-targets-michael-mann/)) on Dr Ball's first crucial courtroom win against Dr Andrew Weaver (photo, above), another elite junk scientist (a UN IPCC Lead Author in climate modeling) and British Columbia Green Party Leader.

Pointedly, at the time, Dr Ball wanted to emphasize an extremely salient fact:
"While I savor the victory, people need to know that it was the second of three lawsuits all from the same lawyer,Roger McConchie (https://www.libelandprivacy.com/roger-d-mcconchie/), (photo, left) in Vancouver on behalf of members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)." In effect, there is more than mere coincidence that Dr Ball, a world-leading skeptical climatologist, was systematically targeted for legal retribution time and again by political groups such as the unscrupulous Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (https://www.csldf.org/) .

As a retired scientist in his 80's, Tim was a 'soft target' and the stress of these lawsuits put an enormous toll on his health.

Not to be outdone, Tim has used his time wisely to write a damning book of the 30-year back story of the great climate fraud titled 'The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science' (https://www.amazon.com/Deliberate-Corruption-Climate-Science-ebook/dp/B00HXO9XGS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tim+ball+deliberate+corruption+of+climate+science&qid=1566595875&s=digital-text&sr=1-1) and I heartily recommend that interested readers buy it.

It is also not often reported that the funding in Canada for these extravagant SLAPP lawsuits is believed to be from the David Suzuki Foundation (https://davidsuzuki.org/), a hot house for extreme environmental advocacy and Big Green policy promotion.

What is a 'Strategic lawsuit against public participation' (SLAPP Suit)?
Wikipedia offers a fair definition:
"A strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is a lawsuit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit) that is intended to censor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship), intimidate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimidate), and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_defense) until they abandon their criticism or opposition.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation#cite_note-onthemedia_01-1) Such lawsuits have been made illegal in many jurisdictions on the grounds that they impede freedom of speech (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech).

In the typical SLAPP, the plaintiff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaintiff) does not normally expect to win the lawsuit. The plaintiff's goals are accomplished if the defendant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defendant) succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_costs), or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. In some cases, repeated frivolous litigation against a defendant may raise the cost of directors and officers liability insurance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directors_and_officers_liability_insurance) for that party, interfering with an organization's ability to operate.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation#cite_note-2) A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate." Update (August 24, 2019):Dr Mann Has Posted On Twitter In Reply To This Article:


https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535561/large/mann_tweet.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s26/535561/full/mann_tweet.jpg)


Mann's statement is here: https://twitter.com/MichaelEMann/status/1164910044414189568

In short, Mann's ugly responsive legal statement is (a) stark admission he lost fair and square, and (b) a disingenuous argument that the Dismissal was granted merely on the basis of Mann's "delay" in not submitting his R2 numbers (https://www.datatechnotes.com/2019/02/regression-model-accuracy-mae-mse-rmse.html) in timely fashion.

Well, Mikey, You Are The Plaintiff And Tim Gave You Over 8 YEARS To Get Your Case Together!

On that point, this is where readers may wish to refer to the article 'Fatal Courtroom Act Ruins Michael 'Hockey Stick' Mann (https://principia-scientific.org/breaking-fatal-courtroom-act-ruins-michael-hockey-stick-mann/)' (July 4, 2017). In it we offered analysis as to Mann's fatal legal error. As Dr Ball explained at that time:
"Michael Mann moved for an adjournment of the trial scheduled for February 20, 2017. We had little choice because Canadian courts always grant adjournments before a trial in their belief that an out of court settlement is preferable. We agreed to an adjournment with conditions. The major one was that he [Mann] produce all documents including computer codes by February 20th, 2017. He failed to meet the deadline." As I explained in the article, Mann (and his crooked lawyer) had shown bad faith, thereby rendering his case liable for dismissal. I urged Tim to pursue that winning tactic and thankfully he did.

AN APPEAL
Assisting Dr Ball has been a huge honor for me and probably one of the greatest achievements of my life. But Tim only won this famous courtroom battle thanks to massive worldwide grassroots support.

We can only continue to fight these protracted lawsuits with your kind support. Please give generously to ensure we can take on more crucial cases, such as this.

======================================


"Although it was intended as an icon of global warming, the hockey stick has become something else - a symbol of the conflict between mainstream climate scientists ["stage magicians"] and their critics." See The Guardian psy-op?... the fraudsters are qualified as "scientists" whereas their critics have their qualifications left out... to omit the fact that those critics are actual, real, true scientists.

From Steven F. Hayward's presentation at Hillsdale College (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlICdawHRA&t=668s) in 2014 and well worth a listen:



@16:07 - "The result of the latest catalog of exaggerated claims and appalling clichés is, you know, it's endless, but the most egregious one is one that I'm sure many of you have heard of or seen on T.V. It's the ubiquitous refrain that 97% of all scientists believe in climate change. By the way, they even use that word; believe, like it's an article of religious faith, which I think is also a curious thing. And it's not just climate advocates. NASA, a federal government agency, says ... they have a web page that says, that phrase, 97% of scientists believe in climate change.

That's our government speaking, now.

And, of course, the political suggestion behind this is, if 97% of scientists believe in climate change, then, therefore, they must all agree with the environmentalist agenda to suppress energy.

So, where did this 97% figure come from? When you explore its lineage, it turns out to be about as convincing as a Chicago election.

No, you can't believe that, right? ...

The most prominent form of it comes from a paper by a professor in Australia named John Cook at the University of Queensland, and he published this paper in an obscure journal, and it's just rocketed around and it's become the big thing.

And what this study purported to do was review the abstracts of 11,000 climate science articles. Now, just stop right there. It's important they say, abstracts. No one's going to read 11,000 climate articles. Even a whole team of graduate students is not going to read through 11,000 science articles.

So they read the abstracts, fair enough. The abstract is always that one paragraph summary at the head of any academic journal article.

Well, here's the abstract (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024/meta)to the Cook paper, which no one in the media seems to have the wit to read for themselves. First sentence: "We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on anthropogenic global warming, comma." I'll stop right there. Two thirds--66%--two thirds of the papers express no opinion on human-caused global warming. Let's keep going.

Thirty-two point six percent endorsed anthropogenic global warming. Zero point seven percent rejected it and 0.3% were uncertain. Okay. So that means a third of those papers had an opinion on human-caused global warming. So, the next sentence says this:

"Among abstracts expressing a position on human-caused global warming, 97.1% endorse the consensus positions that humans are causing the warming."

Somehow this has become 97% of all scientists, when it's 97% of a third of scientists. Or, you might put it this way: you could just as easily say, 66% of scientists publishing in the field have expressed no firm opinion on the matter.

Or, still another way to think about it is, this is the grandfather of all simple-minded tautologies.

Among all the scientists who agree with the consensus, are all the scientists who agree with the consensus.

That would be an adequate way of saying it.

Now, initially Professor Cook refused to share the data with anybody else to how they've been coded, and, what have they matched up. That's always a bad sign right there, isn't it? But, of course, in the modern world, with things planted on internet databases, somebody found the data.

And, lo and behold, some of the articles turned out to be not really about climate science at all. One article that was billed as a science article was about U.S. media coverage of climate change issues. Strangely, in those 11,000 papers, there's not a single one from Richard Lindzen of M.I.T.

He's the most prominent skeptic in the climate science community, who has been publishing on the subject since 1961. None of his papers were included, somehow. And yet, this phrase ... I mean, you can't go anywhere now without seeing it or, you know, get on the center for climate progress without seeing that 97% of scientists agree. Or believe in, right? Well, it's clear that the climate establishment has become as narrowly intolerant as any department of gender studies on a college campus, and for much the same reason. What this really masks is a will to power, as I said at the beginning

ANSWER: For whatever reason, these people have been promoting that the cities will all sink and we are the cause of it all.

They have been touting this scenario since the 1930s when there was the Dust Bowl. It resurfaced after World War II when they were trying to stop rebuilding industry and the housing market which had been destroyed. The same argument appeared again in the 1960s when there was a great expansion in housing.
However, during the 1970s when things got colder, everything flipped upside down and then it was global cooling that would destroy civilization.


https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/Newsweek-April-28-1975-Cooling-World_0.jpg


On April 28, 1975, Newsweek magazine published an article in which they sounded the alarm bell and proposed solutions to deliberately melt the ice caps:
“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing variables of climate uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies.”
Then TIME magazine’s January 31, 1977 edition had the cover story featuring “The Big Freeze.” They reported that scientists were predicting that Earth’s average temperature could drop by 20 degrees fahrenheit. Their cited cause was, of course, that humans created global cooling. It just seems that humans are so powerful we can alter the universe but cannot manage to create corrupt-free governments.


https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/2019-09-09_6-25-49.jpg


The difference this time is they have been able to get governments interested on the basis that they can stop it by raising taxes. Canada imposed a $1,000 tax per home to stop global warming. Perhaps the theory is if the politicians get more money they will speak less and reduce the hot air they spout out by yelling the end is near.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/2019-09-09_6-27-17.jpg

I see this as a derivative of the Populationists theory which was instituted by Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834). It was Malthus who first published his “Essay on the Principle of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society” in 1798. He published it anonymously, afraid to put his name on it, but he was soon discovered to be the author. Malthus argued that the resources of production would be exceeded by the population leading to real misery.

Malthus’ theory proved to be completely wrong because he too failed to comprehend that there are cycles to everything. He never considered the cycle in technology and how farming has improved from ancient times up to his own time during the 18th century. Of course, food production has more than kept pace with population growth and even the population goes through cycles. Currently, birth rates have been declining. Then there are diseases and plagues that visit our societies, not to mention war, which all combines to thin the herd so to speak.

The climate has ALWAYS moved cyclically. Anyone who dares to argue that climate change is NOT caused by humans is ridiculed because this is a political issue being used to raise taxes and to regulate human activity by removing ever-greater proportions of our human rights and freedom. Those who attack anyone who denies human-induced climate change are either brainwashed or have a self-interest in the entire scam.

Petteri Taalas, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)



London, 6 Sep 2019: The General-Secretary of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says that the alarmist narrative on climate change has gone off the rails and criticised the news media for provoking unjustified anxiety.


Speaking to Finland’s financial newspaper Talouselämä (https://www.talouselama.fi/uutiset/ilmastoguru-petteri-taalas-ilmastonmuutos-ei-ole-viela-riistaytynyt-kasista-mutta-keskustelu-siita-on-siina-on-uskonnollisen-aariliikkeen-piirteita/3152ead4-9a15-4a03-8cdd-b027a403e106) (“The Journal”) on 6 September 2019, Petteri Taalas called for cooler heads to prevail, saying that he does not accept arguments of climate alarmists that the end of the world is at hand.

Dr Taalas also spoke of the dangers of green extremism (https://www.thegwpf.com/wmo-boss-says-climate-discussion-has-gone-off-the-rails/):
“While climate sceptisism has become less of an issue, now we are being challenged from the other side. Climate experts have been attacked by these people and they claim that we should be much more radical. They are doomsters and extremists; they make threats.”
And he called for the media both to challenge experts and allow a broader range of opinions to be heard.

The director of the Global Warming Policy Forum, Dr Benny Peiser, welcomed Dr Taalas’s intervention:
“It’s very welcome to hear the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization finally challenging eco-zealots.

“I hope mainstream climate scientists and the news media sit up and take notice; it’s high time they put some professional distance between themselves and radical greens and start to question their apocalyptic narrative of doom.”

While Greta Thunberg heavily pushed "Climate Change", she actually means stop destroying nature and start caring about the nature.
In an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger she was asked what made her to speak-up and she answered that she saw a film with plastics in the ocean.
Also in this recent video, she explains what she really wants.

It's about caring for the nature but the politicians and media use the wake-up call to serve their own agenda and unfortunately millions ride on the "climate change" fad.:facepalm:

Major Climate Paper Withdrawn By Nature

Retraction exposes lack of statistical expertise in climate science

Retraction Note: Quantification of ocean heat uptake from changes in atmospheric O2 and CO2 composition

Retraction to: Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0651-8, published online 31 October 2018.


Shortly after publication, arising from comments from Nicholas Lewis, we realized that our reported uncertainties were underestimated owing to our treatment of certain systematic errors as random errors. In addition, we became aware of several smaller issues in our analysis of uncertainty. Although correcting these issues did not substantially change the central estimate of ocean warming, it led to a roughly fourfold increase in uncertainties, significantly weakening implications for an upward revision of ocean warming and climate sensitivity.

The State of Science in The 21st Century
Gordon Vick
Sott.net
Mon, 07 Oct 2019 (https://www.sott.net/article/421617-The-State-of-Science-in-The-21st-Century)

https://www.sott.net/image/s27/540510/large/Mann.jpg

I grew up in Australia in the 1950s and '60s. The story we were sold at school was that science was leading the brave new world. Dedicated men and women were pursuing truth in science, free from bias and influence. Scientific discoveries were lauded in the press and we were exhorted to accept these new findings as gospel truth. Science was extolled as a great even a noble career.

As I have grown older and (hopefully) wiser I have discovered that was anything but the truth. Science today has completely lost its way. There is a crisis in all disciplines around reproducibility - other people not being able to reproduce results reported. More and more funding is provided by corporates and foundations linked to corporates and government bodies with a very clear agenda and desire for particular results. Produce results that run against the agenda and you risk having your research terminated, your funding pulled, and your reputation attacked. There are many examples of this happening.

The way for a scientist to progress his/her career is to do research and to publish in prestige journals. In order to do that, they need to attract funding and have their research peer-reviewed. It turns out that to attract funding, avoid being attacked by one's fellow scientists and be accepted for publication, it is necessary to follow the politically-correct path. And this is true in all fields of science, be they medical, psychology, climate, smoking, diet and nutrition etc.

John Ioannidis, a professor of epidemiology, published a study in the late 1990s which really angered many of his peers. Titled 'Why Most Published Research Findings are False', it was published in PLOS. While it focused on medical research, subsequent data has shown his results apply across the board. He came up with several corollaries which are quite illuminating:
The smaller the studies conducted in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true.
The smaller the effect sizes in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true.
The greater the number and the lesser the selection of tested relationships in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true.
The greater the flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true. Flexibility increases the potential for transforming what would be 'negative' results into 'positive' results,
The greater the financial and other interests and prejudices in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true
The hotter a scientific field (with more scientific teams involved), the less likely the research findings are to be true.
He also noted that claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. How interesting; to determine the prevailing bias in society, just look at the bulk of published scientific research.

So take a moment to think about these points, especially point 5: "The greater the financial and other interests and prejudices in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true". Where do we see a better example than in the field of climate science? The estimated annual value of the climate industry is around $1.5 trillion per annum. That is a LOT of money being chased by people who cannot lay claim to any of it unless their research results confirm the current bias. If you are happy to bolster the "CO2 is the control knob of climate change" story, you can tap those funds. If you are sceptical of the story or think that other factors such as solar and cosmic cycles play a part, then you will miss out on the massive pot of money.

In an ideal world, people would be open to debating their scientific theories and adjusting them appropriately as new data emerged. But we do not live in an ideal world. That $1.5 trillion per annum is a massive incentive for people to toe the politically correct line. No wonder there is such anger and passion in attacking anybody suggesting that CO2 is not the control knob for climate and that any climate change we are seeing is not caused by mankind's activities. So much money, so much research funding, so many reputations are on the line here that we will never see a sane and reasoned debate. And that is why anybody who questions the current paradigm, who is genuinely sceptical of the interpretation of the data, is labelled a "denier".

Not only are sceptics labelled "deniers" they are also accused of being in the pay of fossil fuel conglomerates. The notion is absurd. The majority of websites publishing sceptical data struggle to exist from week to week and are constantly looking for donations from their readers. And absurd when you consider the $1.5 trillion budget funding the apostle of the climate faith.

The people I come across on a daily basis who consider themselves sceptics don't 'deny' climate change. Any fool can see that the climate is changing, and in fact has always been changing. What they question is the CAUSE of that change; is it man or is it some other cycle? And for that, for daring to question the CO2 doctrine, these people are denigrated as 'deniers', an obvious attempt to conflate them with holocaust deniers. And to those people who are sceptics, the longer they look at the paucity of evidence and see the frequent attempts to shut them down and destroy their reputations for wanting an honest debate on an important subject, the more the climate movement looks like a religion. A religion where to question the basic tenets of the faith is to be a heretic who must be destroyed.

In the last week, an academic journal called the Conversation, which claims to provide academic rigour with journalistic flair, has banned sceptics from commenting on their articles because they are 'too dangerous'. When did attempts to engage in scientific debate become dangerous? When they are at odds with the basic tenets of faith in your religion. So much for academic rigour. Curtailing free speech is more important to these people so they can 'keep the faith pure' and 'protect' their readers from any alternative views. And they are not alone.

Michael Mann of Hockey Stick Graph infamy bans all sceptics from his Twitter feed. He attacks scientific research produced by sceptical scientists, and urges people not to read it. This is the same Michael Mann who sued Dr. Tim Ball for criticising his Hockey Stick Graph and claiming it was incorrect. As part of the court proceedings initiated by Mann, the judge ruled Mann must produce the data his graph was based on. Mann steadfastly refused to do this and in the end the judge dismissed the case. Many people wonder why the data was not forthcoming, maybe because it wouldn't stand scrutiny. Mann continues to relentlessly attack anybody who is a sceptic, claiming that "nobody can deny that climate change is real", which is a neat piece of obfuscation, as discussed above.

https://www.sott.net/image/s27/540801/large/Battle_of_the_Graphs_Mann_vs_B.jpg

It would also appear that academic qualifications and positions fit into a hierarchical system. In this system, people with degrees and academic positions who produce research that conforms to doctrine are held as the gold standard. Nothing is higher than peer-reviewed research that is doctrinally correct. However, when similarly-qualified sceptics publish peer-reviewed research which questions the status quo, then clearly they are in the pay of fossil fuel corporates, and have sold out their integrity for filthy lucre. They are 'heretics', the worst of the worst.

Today we hear the many activists in the climate science fraternity laying claim to science validated by consensus. Whether there actually exists a consensus is another question and there have been a number of academics and scientists who have comprehensively debunked the oft-reported 'climate science consensus'. But whether or not there is a consensus, we need to remind ourselves that consensus has never been integral to the scientific method.

If we look back over history we find many times 'consensus' was just plain wrong. Consensus claimed the Earth was flat, and that the Sun revolved around the Earth. In 1982, two Australian scientists discovered that stomach ulcers were caused by the bacteria H Pylori and were easily treatable with antibiotics. Now you would imagine that these results would have been welcomed by the medical fraternity. But that is not what happened. There was a whole infrastructure built around the notion that stomach ulcers were incurable and that the only courses of available treatment were drugs and surgery.

The consensus was that the only treatments were drug and surgery based. And that consensus was wrong. There were people whose income depended on it, whose reputations were built around these so-called facts. Needless to say, these gentlemen were attacked by a sceptical medical community. It took nearly 20 years before their easily reproducible results were accepted as valid by the medical fraternity and in 2005 they were awarded a Nobel prize in recognition of their work.

Nothing has changed. Consensus has never been a line item in the scientific method. Arguing from consensus is just another attempt to force people back to the basic tenets of the climate faith, and 'damn what the data actually says'.

Why is this all happening? There is clearly a strong group of climate activists with their very wealthy backers driving an agenda here. My observation is that they are looking to bring about a world where we are all vegan, living in a post-industrial world sans fossil fuels and associated technologies, a world with a far smaller population. They have hijacked climate science and are very successfully driving us towards a dystopian future, one which their ardent supporters are blissfully unaware is coming and who will be horrified if we indeed end up there.

The man who invented ‘climate change’ (https://www.iceagenow.info/the-man-who-invented-climate-change/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/)
October 18, 2019 (https://www.iceagenow.info/the-man-who-invented-climate-change/)
“It was never about climate change but about setting up a one world socialist government run by the UN!”
– Don Brown
Here are snips and pieces from an article by Christopher Booker, who describes Canadian socialist multimillionaire Maurice Strong’s “absolutely central role” in the whole story.

In 1972, Strong, a superb political operator, set up a UN “Environment Conference” to declare that the Earth’s resources were the common inheritance of all mankind and should no longer be exploited for the benefit of only a few countries at the expense of poorer countries.

In 1988, he helped set up the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

In 1992, Strong pulled off his greatest coup when he helped stage and presided over the colossal “Earth Summit” in Rio, arranging for it to be attended not only by 108 world leaders and 100,000 others but also by 20,000 UN-funded “green activists”.

And ever since, it has been Strong’s ideology, enshrined at Rio in “Agenda 21”, which has continued to shape the entire process.

Had it not been for this man, says Booker, we would not have seen 150 heads of government joining 40,000 delegates in Paris for that mammoth climate conference (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/paris-climate-change-conference/12025836/Paris-climate-conference-10-reasons-why-we-shouldnt-worry-about-man-made-global-warming.html).

The UN in effect has dictated the global climate change agenda ever since. Almost yearly it has staged huge conferences, notably those at Kyoto (1997), Copenhagen (2009) and the present one in Paris.

To this day, global climate policy is still shaped by Strong’s Agenda 21, as was highlighted when Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican Marxist now head of the UNFCCC and organiser of the Paris conference, urged that the West should give “$1 trillion a year” to the “developing” world.

Lest you think that Strong’s motives were pure, Booker includes this amazing tidbit:
“In 2005, Strong was caught having been illicitly paid $1 million from the UN’s Oil for Food programme, supposedly set up to allow Saddam Hussein to pay in oil to feed starving Iraqis. He retired to a flat in Beijing, where he had been close to China’s Communist leaders back to Mao.”
Funny, isn’t it, how our self-declared ‘saviours’ so often benefit while supposedly rescuing us?

Or maybe that’s not so funny after all.

October 22, 2019 (https://www.iceagenow.info/earth-has-been-warmer-than-today-for-hundreds-of-millions-of-years/)

Two weekends ago I attended the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas and posted a photo (https://www.iceagenow.info/temperatures-now-lower-than-during-most-of-the-last-630-million-years/) of this chart showing Average Global Temperature over the past 630 million years. It shows that temperatures have been far warmer than today for millions – no, hundreds of millions – of years. Several dissenters have pooh-poohed the graph, so I thought you might like to see author Gregory Fegel’s supportive response.


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Average-Global-Temps1-Perot-Museum.png
Average Global Temperature – Chart courtesy the Perot Museum of Nature and Science



As you can see, average global temperature is now lower – LOWER! – than during most of the last 630 million years.


When someone yells at you that humans are causing a climate emergency, hold onto your wallet.

I used to say it was a ‘hoax,’ but now I think its much more dangerous than that. As far as I’m concerned, the global warming zealots are perpetrating an outright fraud.
____________

Here is Gregory Fegel’s comment:
The graph accompanying the article shows the Earth’s global mean temperature in Fahrenheit, from 625 million years ago to the present.

The global mean temperature (GMT) is currently about 58°F. The natural global warming period called the Eocene Optimum peaked at about 49 million years ago. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states that during the Early Eocene the GMT was about 9 to 14°C (16 to 25°F) higher than today. So the GMT during the Early Eocene was about 74 to 83°F.

During the Eocene Optimum, little to no ice was present on the Earth. Forests covered most of the Earth, including palm trees growing in Alaska. The warmer temperatures facilitated the intercontinental migration of animals.

The Eocene was a boom time for plants and animals, and it would have been a boom time for humans, had they existed then. Yet the climate alarmists claim that a rise of the GMT of 2 or 3°C will cause a catastrophic mass extinction for life on Earth.
Thank you, Gregory Fegel.

WATCH: Canadian Professor Lost Her Job for Telling the Truth About ‘Endangered’ Polar Bears

Video interview at the link.

A Canadian university has frozen a zoologist out of her adjunct professor post as punishment for saying the unsayable about polar bears: that populations are thriving; that they are not endangered; that stories about how they are being caused to starve by melting summer sea ice are junk science #FakeNews.

Dr Susan Crockford is one of the world’s leading experts on polar bears and had held her post as Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada for 15 years.

But by speaking the truth about polar bears she fell foul of environmental activists who have long treated Ursus maritimus as one of the poster children for their “the Earth is doomed and it’s all our fault” narrative. As a result, without explanation, Crockford was ousted from her position at the university.

In an interview with Crockford this week for Breitbart News, I ask: ‘Do you think you’ve been blacklisted for telling inconvenient truths?’

She replies:

“Oh I absolutely do.”

Crockford’s “crime” was to point out that contrary to environmentalists’ computer projections, polar bear populations have increased, not decreased — despite “global warming”.

“What happened was that in 2007 there was a prediction that when sea ice declined to about 42 per cent below what it would have been in 1979 that two-thirds of the polar bears in the world would be gone. That would be 10 out of the 19 sub populations that exist.

But what has happened, we find from research, is that bear numbers have not gone down but in fact have gone up by at least 16 per cent and probably more. So the bears are thriving despite the fact that sea ice has declined dramatically.”

The “polar bears starving because of melting sea ice” story has been a staple of the green scare narrative.

In 2017, for example, footage of an emaciated polar bear rummaging pitifully through trash cans became a huge international story.

The video for National Geographic attracted over two million views. It was set to tear-jerking music and accompanied by the utterly dishonest and misleading message “This is what climate change looks like.”

In fact, as Crockford explains, this was the purest green #FakeNews.

“Starving is the leading natural cause of death for polar bears. It just happens.”

If the polar bear was starving to death, it was likely the result of its being old or sick — not because of melting summer sea ice.

Crockford says:

“Polar bears do most of their feeding in the spring time, not the summer. Starving polar bears don’t tell us anything about populations.”

Swedish Behavioral Scientist Introduces Eating Human Flesh At Food Conference As Emergency Measure For Climate Change
Celia Farber
September 22, 2019 (https://www.theepochtimes.com/swedish-researcher-pushes-human-flesh-eating-as-answer-to-future-climate-change-food-shortages_3068833.html)

Climate change alarmism has taken a macabre turn that looks like satire, but isn’t.

It happened in Sweden.

At a summit for food of the future (the climate-ravaged future) called Gastro Summit, in Stockholm on Sept. 3 to 4, a professor held a PowerPoint presentation asserting that we must “awaken the idea” of eating human flesh in the future, as a way of combating the effects of climate change.

In a talk titled “Can You Imagine Eating Human Flesh?”, behavioral scientist and marketing strategist Magnus Soderlund from the Stockholm School of Economics argued for the breaking down of ancient taboos against desecrating the human corpse and eating human flesh.

He refers to the taboos against it as “conservative” and discusses people’s resistance to it as a problem that could be overcome, little by little, beginning with persuading people to just taste it. He can be seen in his video presentation and on Swedish channel TV4 saying that since food sources will be scarce in the future, people must be introduced to eating things they have thus far considered disgusting—among them, human flesh.

Easier sells he suggests include pets and insects, but human flesh was the central topic. In Swedish articles describing this new debate, the term “mannisko-kotts branschen” is introduced. This means “the human flesh industry.”

In his bio at the Stockholm School of Economics, Soderlund states that his research focus includes “consumer behavior,” “marketing stimuli,” “loyalty, emotions, justice perceptions,” “psychological reactions,” and “in a society increasingly obsessed with consumption.”

People can be “tricked,” Soderlund teases, into “making the right decisions.”

Conflating resistance to eating human flesh with capitalist selfishness, the seminar’s talking points ask:

“Are we humans too selfish to live sustainably?

“Is cannibalism the solution to food sustainability in the future? Does Generation Z have the answers to our food challenges? Can consumers be tricked into making the right decisions? At GastroSummit, you will get some answers to these questions—and also partake in the latest scientific findings and get to meet the leading experts.”

In his talk, Soderlund asks the audience how many would be open to the idea. Not many hands go up. Some groaning is heard. When interviewed after his talk, he reports brightly that 8 percent of conference participants said they would be open to trying it. When asked if he himself would try it, he replies, “I feel somewhat hesitant but to not appear overly conservative … I’d have to say … I’d be open to at least tasting it.”

The logo for the talk, titled “Food of the Future: Worms, Grasshoppers, or Human Flesh,” features a splash of blood as part of the graphic design.

What Soderlund doesn’t mention, curiously, is the long documented science on the biological effects of cannibalism.

A tribe called the Fore lived in isolation in Papua New Guinea until the 1930s. They believed in eating their dead, rather than allowing them to be consumed by worms. This led to an epidemic of a disease called “kuru,” or “the laughing death,” caused by ingestion of human flesh. This disease wasn’t caused by a pathogen, but rather, a “twisted protein” (according to an NPR report) that tricks other proteins in the brain to twist like it, damaging the brain’s cerebellum. Researchers compared it to Dr. Jekyll’s transformation. The last victim of kuru died in 2009.

Whoever is in charge of Sweden’s public relations is doing an abysmal job. That’s unless the new brand is that this small Northern country—obsessed with atheism and political correctness—is now cooler than ever for resetting all previously known boundaries of “noir.”

And madness.

How Climate Alarmists Killed Their Own U.N. Conference in Chile
James Taylor
November 3, 2019
https://www.theepochtimes.com/how-climate-alarmists-killed-their-own-u-n-conference-in-chile_3135751.html

"Riots in Chile forced Chilean President Sebastian Pinera to announce on that Chile could no longer host a United Nations climate conference scheduled for December. Climate activists are scrambling in disarray, hoping to find a replacement nation to host the Conference of the Parties Climate Conference (COP25) at a future date, but they have themselves to blame for the conference being cancelled. Aggressive Chilean climate policies that have raised energy costs, raised transportation costs, and taken money out of Chilean household budgets sparked the riots that caused the Chilean government to back out of hosting the U.N. conference.

Media outlets are currently claiming income inequality is the reason people in Chile are rioting in the streets. As the same media outlets properly noted last week, however, the protests began in response to fare hikes for the Santiago Metro, which hit low-income people especially hard.

The Metro fare hikes became inevitable after the Chilean government waged war on affordable energy in the name of battling climate change. Metro fares are rising, even as oil and gasoline prices are falling, because government officials in 2018 converted most of the Metro’s energy mix to expensive wind and solar power. The Chilean government also hit conventional power throughout the country with new carbon dioxide taxes, further raising energy and transportation costs for the Chilean people.

Before the Chilean Metro riots, climate activists claimed Chile and its war on conventional energy was a shining example for the rest of the world. The United Nations awarded former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet a Champion of the Earth prize in 2017 for rapidly expanding renewable power in Chile’s energy mix. Renewable power advocates claimedrenewable power for the Santiago Metro and throughout Chile would be inexpensive. Media outlets called Chile a “poster child for renewable energy” and reported renewable energy would likely lower Chilean energy prices. Climate activists therefore believed Santiago would be the perfect place to show off renewable energy and aggressive climate policies at COP25.

Yet coal, oil, and natural gas power most of the world’s energy use because they are much more affordable than wind and solar power. Chile has discovered this the hard way, as Chile’s carbon dioxide taxes and renewable energy programs caused an 18 percent hike in electricity prices during the past year. Chilean officials had announced an additional 9 percent electricity price hike for later in 2019, but cancelled that in response to the ongoing riots. Even before the announced 9 percent electricity price hike, Chilean electricity prices had skyrocketed to the highest in all of South America and among the highest in the entire world.

Chileans are not the first people to riot as a result of rising energy prices caused by climate activist government policies. In France, carbon dioxide taxes imposed on gasoline initiated the 2018 Yellow Vest protests that continue to this day. In Ecuador this October, rioters forced government officials to flee the capital after the government announced a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that would end price subsidies for conventional energy sources and raise conventional energy prices. The Ecuadorian government, which relies on the IMF for monetary loans, struck its deal with the IMF after the IMF published a paper earlier in 2019 criticizing price subsidies for conventional energy for allegedly increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

Meanwhile, the United Nations is suffering its third major climate conference embarrassment in the past year. U.N. officials were embarrassed at last December’s COP24 in Katowice, Poland, when climate-skeptic Polish government officials hosted the event, and when Solidarity labor union officials held a press conference at COP24 criticizing U.N. climate programs.

Following on the heels of the Poland debacle, Brazilian government officials expressed doubt about an asserted climate crisis, criticized U.N. overreach, and announced it was withdrawing as host of COP25 this December.

And now, after Chilean government officials offered to host COP25 in Brazil’s place and show off their climate and renewable energy programs, those same programs sparked the widespread riots that forced the cancellation of the Santiago climate conference.

After all the pain Chile’s climate programs imposed on the Chilean people, it is only fitting that the United Nations should have to look elsewhere to host their conference.

"The real enemy is humanity itself."

Humanity is whose real enemy?

The Illuminati. The people who control our money, politicians, media, churches, and education. Why would we trust Satanists who murdered 3000 Americans on 9-11?

In 1975, the mass media panicked Americans with a phantom Ice Age.

Our government pushed "the coming ice age."

Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY ... coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. (See below)

And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported: "many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age." https://www.newsweek.com/newsweek-rewind-debunking-global-cooling-252326

The Global Cooling Scare fizzled, so in 1991, mass media initiated a new fear campaign called Global Warming which later became Climate Change.

American propaganda needed a new enemy. The media couldn't use the Red Scare anymore because, in 1990, the USSR collapsed into 15 harmless post-Soviet states, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.


https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/Screenshot-from-2018-12-03-19-22-22-350x350.png
To fill the POLITICAL ENEMY VACUUM, The Club of Rome announced in 1991, Chapter 5 of THE FIRST GLOBAL REVOLUTION that our new enemy was GLOBAL WARMING.


"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea of pollution, the threat of global warming: water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and its only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome...The real enemy then is humanity itself."
This Global Warming propaganda began with Al Gore's 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, claiming that CO2 caused GLOBAL WARMING. Gore claimed the scientific community unanimously supported his message; however, real scientists joined together to produce a rebuttal documentary in 2007, The Great Global Warming Swindle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3IhIUBghPc&list=PL84BADA23B1E572B0 They explained that yes the Earth has been warming since last Ice Age 20,000 years ago (except for a brief Interglacial Period 11,000 years ago).

Even 8000 years ago, what today is the Arabian and Sahara Deserts were lush grasslands with abundant rainfall, rivers and lakes. The serious Earth warming began 5000 years ago caused by shifts in Earth's axis and greater solar radiation. The Industrial Revolution and burning of coal and petroleum fuels began in the 17th Century when instead of warming, Earth experienced a Little Ice Age between 1645-1715.

What Al Gore, Greta Thunberg and the rest of the alarmist fail to explain is how CO2 representing less than 1/2 of 1% of Earth's atmosphere supposedly causes GLOBAL WARMING. CO2 is a HEAVY terrestrial gas; its molecular weight is 44 which is so heavy (relative to Nitrogen and Oxygen, 99% of Earth atmosphere) CO2 remains close to the ground providing fuel for vegetation's photosynthesis. Plants need CO2 the way animals need OXYGEN.

So is everything OK?

NOT EXACTLY!

Solar activity in the form of our sun's flares and sunspots surprised scientists with a premature SOLAR MINIMUM 2 years ago.

But don't panic because we're only in for a chillier than normal winter.

[Ixopoborn]

I have observed this matter being debated over many years now and the most disappointing realisation by far is the frailty in people. Frailty in the arguments would not happen without ubiquitous frailty in people and how they think.

In this piece of writing, I will use the expression, “global warming” because I don’t like the term “climate change”. Use of the term climate change spurs the totally useless and pejorative term “climate denier” which is often shortened to “denier” and that triggers thoughts of “truth denier”. All these terms are designed and created to confuse something already hopelessly confused.

Lets be clear. The most important thing about the global warming topic is that is almost impossible to be certain about whether we are headed for super hot times or an ice age. Both extremes are possible and the ice core records show clearly that both extremes do happen with alarming frequency. In essence, the point I will make here is it is impossible today to say whether global warming will cause us, meaning now and future generations, any harm or not. Further, while it is irrefutable that net CO2 emissions do have a warming effect, it is completely unclear whether the anthropogenic warming effect due to man-made CO2 emissions has or will have ANY significant economic or environmental impact. The science is just not clear despite any beatings from the United Nations group, IPCC, or Greta Thunberg.

We live in a horrible world with powerful forces doing their best to remain dominant and people on this forum should be well aware of the agenda’s of powerful elites and precisely how extremely intelligent they are. So is the global warming scare all a big lie? We cant yet say. What we can say is that a gigantic lie is being told in connection with this topic. I will explain.

The lie I want to make clear is not that anthropogenic global warming is an existential threat to man or even harmful or even the exact opposite. The BIG lie told us by Al Gore and his cohorts is that there is a 95% to 99% consensus that we have a climate crisis. There is a 99.99% consensus on the question of “is the climate changing”, yes. But, there is almost no consensus on anything else. The BIG lie is “this is all settled science”. Its nothing like it. I have attended a two-day conference in London with the hall filled by concerned scientists giving lectures on why the science is no where close to being settled. When you have Nobel winning scientists giving lectures on why the anthropogenic global warming claims are lies by exaggeration, you need to take pause. When reportedly 500 scientists write an open letter to the UN headed, “there is no climate crisis”, you need to take pause.

You need to say, “HANG ON, I am highly concerned about the environment and cleaning up the planet, but if they are lying about this consensus, what else might they be lying about?”

It is saddening to see highly reputable climate scientists now being kicked out of universities for writing peer reviewed papers which point away from global warming being a major problem. Universities are heavily dependent on funding from rich corporations and you would be wise to question the motives of those corporations and their shadowy owners.

The lie to be exposed is there is no consensus on this topic, but we are being told the exact opposite.

Yet centres of political power have given an official seal of approval to the global warming scare – therefore the science must be settled, right? Sadly not. The EU which has gone as far as issuing CO2 reducing directives is just as liable to have its thinking nobbled as anyone reading this post. I am certain that extremely intelligent lobbyists managed to convince EU Commission mandarins that the science is settled and, because of that, there is an existential problem which must be addressed. On that basis, these lobbyists persuaded the EU to issue laws which give preference to diesel engined cars and to wind powered electricity. Where those lobbyists clean hearted or were they working for German car makers and industrialists. Most likely the latter. The diesel favouring laws where implemented because German car makers told their EU lobbyists that Germany had a clear competitive advantage in that direction. Their lobbyists told them, “fine, but we can't lobby the EU directly to make a diesel favouring law just because that is what you do best”. And so we go and so we go.

And besides I think I am right in saying that nigh on 50% of all man-made CO2 emissions are caused by 4 countries and all 4 are either exempted from the Paris accord or have withdrawn from it. As a result, western Europe’s politicians have apparently willingly imposed CO2 policies which have a very damaging effect on the economy of Western Europe knowing this won't do anything much at all except create taxes and cause economic harm.

Would it not have been better for the lobbyists to spend their lobbying bullets on persuading Russia, USA, China and India to see the light?

I am just concerned about climate as anyone else. I am even more concerned about cleaning a dirtied planet. But these noble topics have been politically nobbled and thereby made truth discovery almost impossible.

For now at least.

I do sense an academic fight back is starting. Noble scientists are beginning to risk their careers to join the fight for true science. As true as we can manage in any event.

A story covering the fraud in the scientific consensus from the Washington Times:


'Climate emergency' declaration takes heat for fictional 'world scientists'

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Monday, November 11, 2019
There was something goofy about the petition signed by 11,258 “world scientists” from 153 countries declaring a “climate emergency.”

One “scientist” was named “Mouse, Micky” from the “Micky Mouse Institute for the Blind, Nambia.” Another was Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts. And then there was “Araminta Aardvark” from the fictional University of Neasden.

Among the “Alliance of World Scientists” members who were apparently real people, many identified themselves as teachers, students, administrators, statisticians, economists, technicians, therapists, doctors, psychologists — not climate scientists.

As it turns out, however, being recognized as a “world scientist” may be easier than you think.

The alliance is a project of the Oregon State University College of Forestry, which invited “all scientists” to add their names to the four-page statement, “World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency,” by clicking on a green “sign the article” button on the college’s website.

Following a round of fact-checking in the press and on social media, the college removed 34 names, including “Micky,” “Araminta” and “Dumbledore,” bringing the total to 11,224 signatories on the Nov. 5 article published in the journal BioScience, part of the Oxford University Press.

“During our original signature screening process, we attempted to remove all signatures that appeared to be invalid,” said a post on the OSU website. “Although, a few invalid ones were missed. We are thoroughly reviewing the full list at the moment and will make further updates if required.”

That said, the less-than-scientific signature-gathering process and ensuing media mockery did no favors for the climate-crisis movement, nor the major media outlets that trumpeted the story.

“More than 11,000 scientists from around the world declare a ‘climate emergency,’” said the headline in the Washington Post.

Said the CNN article: “11,000 scientists warn of ‘untold suffering’ caused by climate change.”

“Climate crisis: 11,000 scientists warn of ‘untold suffering,’” said the [U.K.] Guardian, while ABC News reported, “11,000 scientists sign declaration of global climate emergency.”

Ezra Levant, a conservative commentator on Canada’s Rebel News, said the alliance is “not a thing. It’s a one-page homemade website set up by some guy in the forestry department at Oregon State University.”

He noted that one signer identified his speciality as “BS Detection and Analysis.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s a joke,” Mr. Levant said on his Thursday show. “But it sure was important for the propaganda to say there were 11,000 scientists signing this. I wonder, are there even 11,000 climate scientists in the world? Maybe, come to think of it, because what a great way to get government grants.”

No Michael Mann

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano noted that the alliance posted a similar declaration in 2017, and that both were spearheaded by OSU forestry professor William J. Ripple, but that the previous petition was signed by 15,000 “world scientists.”

“Here we go again: The same organization is attempting to recycle their non-scientific commentary about a ‘climate emergency’ with a heavy dose of grad students, social workers, psychologists, veterinarians, librarians, and of course, Disney’s famous mouse character,” said Mr. Morano in an email.

Cracked Breitbart’s James Delingpole: “Now they’re down to just 11,000. Presumably, this time, Professors Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, the Little Mermaid, the Seven Dwarfs and the 101 Dalmatians just weren’t available.”

Australian climate blogger JoNova pointed out that none of the world’s leading climate scientists, including Penn State’s Michael Mann and NASA’s Gavin Schmidt, signed the article.

“Strangely, the world’s about to die and yet none of the top climate scientists are willing to put their name on the list,” she said.

The biggest kahuna on the article may be Stanford biology professor Paul Ehrlich, author of the 1968 doomsday book, “The Population Bomb,” which may explain the petition’s focus on reducing world population to combat climate change. He was also listed as a “contributing reviewer.”

In his bestselling book, Mr. Ehrlich predicted that “hundreds of millions of people will starve to death” in the 1970s due to global overpopulation. He famously lost a 1980 bet with economist Julian Simon over whether commodity prices would rise or fall in the next decade, with Mr. Ehrlich predicting they would rise due to scarcity.

“How fitting if he is involved in the ‘climate emergency,’ since he was the inventor of the population emergency,” said Mr. Morano.

The Washington Times has reached out to Mr. Ehrlich, Mr. Ripple and Oregon State for comment.

The article declared that “the planet Earth is facing a climate emergency” and recommended eliminating fossil-fuel use; increasing forestation; eating more plant-based foods and less meat; lowering fertility rates, and curtailing economic growth.

“Our goals need to shift from GDP growth and the pursuit of affluence toward sustaining ecosystems and improving human well-being by prioritizing basic needs and reducing inequality,” said the alliance.

Mr. Morano described the piece as “a political activist ‘statement’ designed to lobby for ‘social and economic justice’ and ‘a sustainable and equitable future.’”

“Despite the obvious agenda and flaws of this declaration, the media promoted it as expected,” he added.

This article that Dr Joseph Ferrell blogged about is so far into the Realm of the Absurd it may prod your dark-humored side to laugh.

Perhaps Professor Donald Duck et al were available and they're rewriting the definition of Science?

NOVEMBER 19, 2019

CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPLODING AMMO DUMPS

I'm still laughing at this one folks; these people are really getting desperate, and now have the cheek to present some pretty serious nonsense in a "science" journal.

Yes, you read that headline correctly: all those exploding ammo dumps that have been in the news in recent months are due to... climate change, according to this article sent along by G.B.:

Climate Change May Be Blowing Up Arms Depots (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-may-be-blowing-up-arms-depots/)

And here's the gist of this Scientific American article:


It was a little before 4 A.M., on an airless morning in June 2018, when the arms depot in Baharka, Iraqi Kurdistan, blew up. Brightening the dawn sky for kilometers around, the blast sent rockets, bullets and artillery rounds hurtling in every direction. Officials say no one was killed. But were it not for the early hour and reduced garrison, the death toll might well have been horrendous.

A year later, another arsenal exploded just to the southwest of Baharka, reportedly destroying millions of dollars’ worth of ammunition amassed during the fight against ISIS. Two similar blasts around Baghdad followed a few weeks after that, killing and wounding dozens of people between them. Before the end of this past summer, at least six munitions sites had gone up in flames in Iraq alone, according to Iraqi security sources.

While details of the blasts were scarce, investigators agreed that most incidents shared a common theme: hot weather. Each explosion came in the midst of a long, scorching Iraqi summer, when temperatures routinely topped 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). And they all struck just as powerful heat waves ramped up. Explosives experts say such intense heat can weaken munitions’ structural integrity, cause the thermal expansion of explosive chemicals and damage protective shields.

Well, gee, color me surprised. High heat can cause munitions to explode? Rats! I was just about to barbecue my Big Bertha projectiles, and here I find out that lighting fires under munitions is probably not a good idea! But forget about lighting fires, it's all climate change:


As climate change raises summer temperatures and boosts the number and severity of heat waves the world over, weapons experts warn of more of such unplanned explosions at munitions sites, or UEMS—particularly in places that are already steeped in conflict or have poor stockpile management, or both. This potent combination is fueling a spate of destruction and death that has residents of heavily militarized areas on edge. “As soon as it gets hot, we fear the worst,” says Emad Hassan, a welder in Dora, a Baghdad neighborhood that has experienced several depot disasters.

So which is it? Climate change? Or merely poor storage problems, as the article backhandedly admits is actually the case? If the former, I have to be quite honestly extremely skeptical: the Russian ammo dump explosions didn't occur in "high heat areas," and as for storing ammunition safely, well, the Russians have been doing that for a pretty long time now and doing it with lots of munitions (Q.v. World War Two).

And as for ammo dumps in the desert, high heat, and explosions, I have a couple of other difficulties with this climate change narrative that can be summed up in six words: "German Africa Corps" and "British Eighth Army" (q.v. Generals Wavell, Auchinlek, Graziani, Bastico, Cunningham, Ritchie, Rommel, &c).

You may remember those entities as they chased each other around North Africa in sweltering heat from 1941 to 1943, shooting munitions at each other in temperatures of over a hundred degrees, and I don't recall reading about any exploding British, Italian, or German ammo dumps due to problems with climate change, high heat and poor storage. But now all of a sudden, Africa Corps and Eighth Army notwithstanding, we have a new fear to add to our fear porn list: high heat and exploding ammo dumps.

If all that sounds silly, that's because it is, just like the article. Yea, I get the business about long term storage and the breakdown of chemical stabilizers and so on. But isn't that a storage and use problem, having nothing to do with climate change? And the British Eighth Army comes to mind once again. Before its massive North African desert offensives in 1941 and again in 1942, the British stockpiled massive amounts of munitions and petrol in the desert for weeks... moving it, stockpiling it, and moving it again, and as far as I know, did so without incident. So color me skeptical again... there's something massively wrong with this article and its breezy assertions and attempts to tie all this to climate change.

See you on the flip side...

...Except now the Ice Age danger IS real!

Could be--We are having even colder temperatures this winter here on the west coast of Canada. Last year I posted that the temp dropped to 12 degrees F, that is the coldest northwest coastal temp (southwestern for Canada) I have seen in my lifetime. We just beat it this morning--10 degrees F.

Herve's great research and posts make it clear that the globalists have been playing with this climate scare crap for a long time. See his previous post about a 1967 National Geographic article saying it is the cycles of the sun that control the temperature of the planet--and that is *Dr. Ian Clark's findings as well as others.

*Ian D. Clark is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Ottawa (Canada), who has been publishing research on geoscience, groundwater and geochemistry since 1982. His graduate work in isotope hydrogeology was at the University of Waterloo and the University of Paris.

Clark is among the scientists who reject the mainstream scientific opinion on climate change; in the 2007 UK television documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, he states that changes in global temperature correlate with solar activity, saying "Solar activity of the last hundred years, over the last several hundred years correlates very nicely on a decadal basis, with sea ice and Arctic temperatures."

[Kryztian]

Senator Malcolm Roberts of Queensland, Australia has been studying the Global Warming phenomena since 2008. This is the press release as he submits his report responding to the claims of the CSIRO Climate Science Centre (https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/OandA/Areas/Assessing-our-climate/Climate-Science-Centre) which demonstrates that CSIRO:



1. Refuses to state that carbon dioxide from human activity is a danger 2. Does not have empirical evidence proving that carbon dioxide from human activity effects climate 3. Have used evidence in their presentation that contradicts the empirical climate evidence. 4. Uses climate computer models that are neither appropriate nor recommended to be used to inform government policy.

He states that this deeply flawed science has cost the taxpayers of Queensland billions of dollars and resulted in the disastrous flooding that hit Queensland in February 2019.

Also included in this presentation is Canadian climatologist Professor Tim Ball and researcher Mr Tony Heller who discusses the manipulation of data at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space.

A devastating series of research papers has just been published, revealing that human activity can account for no more than a .01°C rise in global temperatures, meaning that all the human activity targeted by radical climate change alarmists — combustion engines, airplane flights, diesel tractors — has virtually no measurable impact on the temperature of the planet.

Finnish scientists spearheaded the research, releasing a paper entitled, “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change.”

The paper explains that IPCC analysis of global temperatures suffers from a glaring error — namely, failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” and how it impacts global temperatures. Natural variations in low cloud cover, which are strongly influenced by cosmic radiation’s ability to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere due to variations in the strength of our planet’s magnetosphere, account for nearly all changes in global temperature, the researchers explain.

YES! and additionally, human encroachment on the millions of non-human species. And to address such in a practical manner, you have to deal with the dynamic of nations and one globe. Combining that with human nature as it can be predicted to be based in its history and where it appears to be today, we have a complex problem which seems all but insurmountable without a dramatic shift in consciousness of the human collective. Bill predicts this is still generations away. I agree.

I think it has to start with a shift in the scientific community whereby physicalism is replaced by the understanding that consciousness is fundamental and may be impossible to model mathematically at its most fundamental level. Good Luck, humans!

Its cyclic---human vanity thinks we can affect this.
However it is positive to get rid of bad atmosphere created by over use of coal etc for heating and what comes out of car exhausts and planes--fumes are not good for humans and we do need the trees for oxygen.
Like everything else its a question of balance.

The climate change/CO2 concept is really just picking out one isolated aspect and the expectation that this will fix things is kind of crazy. It's like having a car with engine troubles, a bad clutch, poor brakes and a leaky transmission and thinking you can get it in good running order by changing the oil. Our medical system and it's lack of great outcomes (with chronic diseases) clearly shows us, you can't isolate things in nature to rebalance and truly fix and restore things. Everything is connected. Just like correcting one lab result or getting rid of a symptom is no proof that health is restored. Getting CO2 levels to where some think they should be will not fix the bigger issues. What it can do, is allow the government to easily tax and manipulate the masses and that is what all this is about. One more layer in the multipronged control grid.

When I hear someone spouting that we have 12 years before the whole planet falls apart, they loose credibility with me. I can see that basic thinking processes have not been used. Are we really supposed to believe that sitting around waiting for government agencies to legislate the care the planet need is going to work? None of the politicians that have sold out to corporations are going to risk being thrown off the gravy train. If they instigate the carbon tax in the US, where does that money go? Will they immediatly start cleaning up the oceans? No, it will either vanish (go the way of the 23 trillion that is missing) or go for endless studies and bureaucratic red tape that is about as effective as their assistance on the homeless populations is. As we speak, homelessness is being turned into big industry where the few can exploit them to profit. Why would the climate be any different?

It seems to me the inversion of this planet is almost complete. It seems just about everything is topsy turvey. Interesting times is an understatement at this point.

Hi there,
just reading "Not In His Image" where I found an interesting sentence characterizing the whole climate scam. Quote: "Because it has become dominant script in the psychohistory of our species, there is a universal tendency to assume that it must be true, in one way or another, at one level or another." (pg. 85 Not In His Image by John Lamb Lash). There is a thread with this title

SUN, AND MOSTLY SEA, DRIVE EUROPE’S CLIMATE

New research published in Science Direct finds variations in ocean currents, and to a lesser extent shifts in solar cycles, were the dominate drivers of European temperatures and climate change for the years 1901 to 2015.

In particular, the team of international scientists from universities and research institutes in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States found two ocean cycles—the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)—exert very strong control over the continent’s climate, and shifts in solar cycles were associated with some localized regional temperature changes.

The correlation between changes in ocean current cycles was so strong, tracking changes in temperatures so closely, there was no trend left to explain by other factors. In other words, the scientists found anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions were completely superfluous to explaining Europe’s wide temperature changes.

The research team reports, after examining the history of shifts in the “AMO, NAO, and sunspots compared to monthly temperature data of 39 European countries for the period 1901–2015 in order to search for ‘fingerprints’ of the natural drivers,” they found temperature and climate variability is controlled by natural processes, primarily Atlantic ocean cycles and to a lesser extent, regionally, by changes in solar activity, with volcanic eruptions, unforced internal atmospheric variability, and anthropogenic factors playing a fairly minimal role.

https://msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/citing-grave-threat-scientific-american-replaces-climate-change-with-climate-emergency/ar-BB1fzOyF

Citing grave threat, Scientific American replaces 'climate change' with 'climate emergency'

Scientific American magazine announced Monday that it would stop using the term "climate change" in articles about man-made global warming and substitute "climate emergency" instead.

"Journalism should reflect what science says: the climate emergency is here," Scientific American senior editor Mark Fischetti said in a Monday post (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-are-living-in-a-climate-emergency-and-were-going-to-say-so/) about the magazine's decision.

To make his point, Fischetti pointed to the mounting number of weather-related disasters that most scientists agree stem from climate change.

"A hurricane blasts Florida. A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it. A sudden, record-setting cold snap cuts power to the entire state of Texas," Fischetti wrote. "These are also emergencies that require immediate action. Multiply these situations worldwide, and you have the biggest environmental emergency to beset the earth in millennia: climate change."

The oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S., Scientific American is not alone it its decision to highlight what it sees as an emergency requiring immediate action. It joined the Columbia Journalism Review, the Nation, the Guardian, Noticias Telemundo, Al Jazeera, Japan's Asahi Shimbun and Italy's La Repubblica in releasing a statement about the change in language.

"The planet is heating up way too fast. It’s time for journalism to recognize that the climate emergency is here," the statement said, adding, "Why 'emergency'? Because words matter. To preserve a livable planet, humanity must take action immediately."

Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced (https://research.noaa.gov/article/ArtMID/587/ArticleID/2742/Despite-pandemic-shutdowns-carbon-dioxide-and-methane-surged-in-2020) that, despite the pandemic, which curtailed travel and economic activity, carbon dioxide and methane levels in the Earth's atmosphere continued to rise, reaching their highest levels in the past 3.6 million years. The last time CO2 was at its current levels, global sea levels were 78 feet higher than they are today and the average global temperature was 7 degrees Fahrenheit hotter.

Scientists have been warning that the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere caused by human activity has already warmed global temperatures by 2 degrees Fahrenheit and is fast melting the polar ice caps.

A study published on Friday in Science magazine (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/15/eabd7254) found that the massive ice shelf stemming from Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is even more unstable than previously thought, thanks to warming water melting the ice that connects it to land. A collapse of this single ice shelf would translate into a global sea level rise (https://news.yahoo.com/can-lower-manhattan-survive-climate-change-new-yorks-seal-level-rise-plan-faces-pushback-130000234.html)of up to 3 feet, the study concluded.

If global warming isn't dramatically slowed and global average temperatures do rise by 7.2 degrees (4 degrees Celsius), over one-third of the entire Antarctic ice shelf will be at risk of collapse, said a second study conducted by researchers at the University of Reading (https://www.reading.ac.uk/news-and-events/releases/PR855740.aspx), submerging whole countries and states like Florida (https://in.news.yahoo.com/its-over-miami-beach-tries-to-outrace-climate-change-and-the-rising-seas-160000886.html) and setting off the largest migration in human history.

But sea level rise is just one of several threats facing mankind if global temperatures continue to rise, as the statement from Scientific American and the other media outlets made clear.

"Failure to slash the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will make the extraordinary heat, storms, wildfires and ice melt of 2020 routine and could 'render a significant portion of the Earth uninhabitable,'" the statement said, quoting from an article in, where else, Scientific American (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-climate-emergency-2020-in-review/).

[Ixopoborn]

I remain completely unconvinced that there is any climate emergency warming situation.


Glacially speaking, we are in the middle of a pause in a massive ice age, yet none of the climate alarmists seem to be mentioning the possibility of massive global cooling coming around the corner.


It would be wonderful if climatologists owned up to the fact that they pretty much have no idea as to precisely what extent man made CO2 emissions are harmful - OR helpful in our current situation.

This is where I depart completely from the climate alarmist lobby. For goodness’ sake, why not admit we are still trying to work out whether man made CO2 is harmful or helpful in delaying a catastrophic ice age cooling.


Conclusion: those that bleat "climate emergency" without mentioning we might actually be lucky to cause a pause in massive global cooling should be ignored.


NB - this viewpoint is completely unconnected with the need to clean up the planet - without doubt we need to do that but resource allocation would be very different if that were our focus.

Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! Antarctica is melting… Oops… Ohhhh… (https://www.iceagenow.info/emergency-emergency-emergency-antarctica-is-melting-oops-ohhhh/)

https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Antarctica-91-newly-discovered-volcanoes.jpg


Oops. Ohhhhh… These so-called ‘scientists’ must have forgotten. Turns out that volcanoes are melting the ice from below, not humans.
“Evidence of Antarctic glacier’s tipping point confirmed,” shouts the headline on ScienceDaily.com. (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/04/210401211633.htm)

“Pine Island Glacier is a region of fast-flowing ice draining an area of West Antarctica approximately two thirds the size of the UK,” the article explains. “The glacier is a particular cause for concern as it is losing more ice than any other glacier in Antarctica.”

“Currently, Pine Island Glacier together with its neighbouring Thwaites glacier are responsible for about 10% of the ongoing increase in global sea level.”
Using a state-of-the-art ice flow model developed by Northumbria University’s glaciology research group, the researchers found “that Pine Island glacier has at least three distinct tipping points. The third and final event, triggered by ocean temperatures increasing by 1.2C, leads to a rapid and irreversible retreat of the entire glacier.

The article, dated 1 Apr 2021, warns that such a retreat, “once started, could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which contains enough ice to raise global sea level by over three metres.”
“The researchers say that long-term warming and shoaling trends in Circumpolar Deep Water, in combination with changing wind patterns in the Amundsen Sea, could expose Pine Island Glacier’s ice shelf to warmer waters for longer periods of time, making temperature changes of this magnitude increasingly likely.”
Sounds pretty bad, doesn’t it? We should blame humans for all that warmer water, right?

Uh, not exactly.

What the article doesn’t bother to mention
What the article doesn’t bother to mention is that the water is being heated by underwater volcanoes. And scientists have known this for at least seven years, probably a lot longer.

Here’s an article I posted about this on June 10, 2014.

“A new study finds that subglacial volcanoes and other geothermal “hotspots” are contributing to the melting of Thwaites Glacier, a major river of ice (http://www.livescience.com/44434-west-antarctica-glaciers-speed-up.html) that flows into Antarctica’s Pine Island Bay,” this article shows.

Volcanoes Melting West Antarctic Glaciers, Not Global Warming (https://www.iceagenow.info/volcanoes-melting-west-antarctic-glaciers-global-warming/)
“Geothermal heat under the glaciers is likely a key factor in why the ice sheet is currently collapsing.” “A new study by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin found that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is collapsing due to geothermal heat, not man-made global warming,” says this article in The Daily Mail. “Researchers from … Continue reading Volcanoes Melting West Antarctic Glaciers, Not Global Warming (https://www.iceagenow.info/volcanoes-melting-west-antarctic-glaciers-global-warming/)

Ice Age Now (https://www.iceagenow.info)
Here’s another article that I posted on August 11, 2014.
“A new study (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/06/04/1405184111.full.pdf+html?sid=5859c342-ec49-4de6-a82a-9b2c2c826b3e) by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin found that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is collapsing due to geothermal heat, not man-made global warming,” this article shows.
And yet another article on September 16, 2014. This was actually a press release from the University of Texas.

Thwaites Glacier, the large, rapidly changing outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is not only being eroded by the ocean, it’s being melted from below by geothermal heat, researchers at the Institute for Geophysics (http://www.ig.utexas.edu/) at The University of Texas at Austin (UTIG) report in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (http://www.pnas.org/).

Ice Age Now (https://www.iceagenow.info)
Then in 2017 I posted yet another article about this, saying that underground streams of heated rock – heated by volcanic activity – might explain why Antarctica’s ice sheets are melting.
NASA Has More Evidence Volcanic Activity Is Heating Up Antarctica’s Ice Sheet (https://www.iceagenow.info/nasa-evidence-volcanic-activity-heating-antarcticas-ice-sheet/)
Underground streams of heated rock may be melting the ice.

Ice Age Now (https://www.iceagenow.info)
And finally, here’s a press release from the National Science Foundation, entitled “Previously unsuspected volcanic activity confirmed under West Antarctic Ice Sheet at Pine Island Glacier.”
“…researchers don’t yet know how volcanic heat is distributed along the bottom of the ice sheet. However, researchers do know that the heat from the volcano is producing melting beneath the ice sheet.”

So… when the alarmists start yelling at you, once again, that we humans are responsible for melting the Antarctic Ice Sheet – and that we must therefore destroy our entire economy – you might want to remember this:
Volcanoes are melting the ice from below!
This global warming hoax is getting way out of hand.
