THE CLIMATE SHE IS A-CHANGIN’

Historically, the word “climate” has been used to describe how weather behaves in a given area.

The tropic zones have a certain weather type, while the temperate zones have another.

For years, people who wriggled themselves to the fore of reporting global climate forces warned us of the coming “global warming,” caused by the activities of man and dooming the planet’s inhabitants to rising oceans, massive, monster hurricanes and melting ice caps. This warning was upheld by former Vice President Al Gore in his lectures, his book and his so-called documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

They based all of this on data from four major sources: The Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia; the National Atmospheric and Space Administration (NASA) via their Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS); the National Climate Data Center Global Historical Climate Network (NCDC GHCN) and the Japan Meteorological Agency.

NASA, according to emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, considered its own data to be lacking, and depended heavily on CRU’s data to support its assertion of what was then called “Global Warming.”

NCDC GHCN data had been judged by the scientific meteorological community as both lacking and faulty, so they, too, began to rely on data from CRU.

It turns out, as evidenced by thousands of emails and hundreds of actual documents, that CRU’s data was impure, to say the least.

In fact, by the admissions of the emails’ and documents’ authors, the data was manipulated, made up, parts of it ignored completely (because it did not fit the agenda of “Anthropogenic Global Warming”) and added deliberately to “fit the mold.”

To add to the mix, we had a totally unanticipated dearth of the predicted Atlantic hurricanes (which were supposed to increase dramatically due to “Global Warming”), and record cold and snow in places around the globe that were not supposed to have happened.

I just read a totally incredulous article about “Climate Change” causing the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. No other earthquakes in history have been attributed to atmospheric climate, but somehow these two were supposed to have been cause thereby.

Quickly the “scientific” community decided to take definitive action…they changed the name of the weather phenomenon known as “Global Warming” to “Climate Change,” which only drew attention to their dishonesty, since the climate has always changed…that’s what climates do for a living.
Part of what makes science science is attempting to explain unexplained phenomena.

Scientists grapple with issues, do experiments, and, yes, fight among themselves to arrive at viable conclusions about them.

The problem comes when people whose work should be honest and full of integrity become dishonest, secretive, evasive, accusatory, and manipulative with the data they put in their models, choose to leave pertinent data out and deliberately change data.

See, if you lie to me about one thing, then you are obligated to give me a list of the things you lie about and the things you tell the truth about so I can tell the difference. And you must not lie on your list unless your list is listed as one of the things you lie about.

When the data is truthfully plotted on a simple graph, it matters not how far back you look you discover that the earth’s climate has forever changed, that it is changing now and will change in the future.

You will also find no correlation (0) between the behavior of man and the global climate.

Ours is a carbon based planet, and carbon dioxide, far from being any kind of pollutant, turns out to be a rejuvenator of life and life forces on the planet. Plant life thrives on it and in return releases oxygen into the atmosphere, a necessary element for animal life.

The ozone layer, once the focus of all thing evil by humans, has “healed” itself and the huge increase of skin cancers and other tragedies predicted did not occur.

Global Warming, once the boogie man of rising seas, melting ice caps and dying polar bears, has been shown to be a myth. The seas have not risen, the ice caps are growing again and there are more polar bears in the wild than there have ever been.

If you fell prey to the Global Warming scam, think hard about what other follies you have succumbed to over the years and learn to stop letting fear-mongers control your thinking, your actions and your lives.

Of course, if you are a liberal that will be very hard for you, for your pride is almost unshakable. In fact, you probably are thinking, “See, we brought it to your attention, full of good intentions and that in itself is what fixed the problems.”

Excellent post!

"...if you lie to me about one thing, then you are obligated to give me a list of the things you lie about and the things you tell the truth about so I can tell the difference. And you must not lie on your list unless your list is listed as one of the things you lie about."

Problem is, they tell THEMSELVES the lies, they tell each other the lies, they tell the world the lies and eventually, they forget everything they've said is lies, thus the lies become THEIR truth.

Joe - Nothing unusual about the weather here. It's been raining all day. Typical for early spring. And I ain't lying.

Krystal said...

Impossible to make a list up of lies when they can no longer tell the difference...

Joe said...

Krystal: When one lies to oneself, one will lie to anyone. And they do.

sue(small "s"): We've had record rains for March here in Southwest Florida. Very unusual.

ablur said...

Best winter in the NW in 30 years. I might be able to make a case for global warming. LOL

The religion of GW is tough to kick.

JMK said...

The sad thing is that Anthropogenic Global Warming is based on psuedo-science, bought and paid for by UN and government grants that DEMANDED a "disaster scenario" on which to build support for increased government control over the economy and the people.

Ironically enough, those who did the science and found their conclusions at odds with the bought-and-paid-for stooges at places like East Anglia University's CRU were called "skeptics" and "deniers," and were charged with being "bought-and-paid-for by Big Oil," when in FACT, even the father of Climatology (Dr. Reid Bryson) has said, "there is no question that the earth has been warming. It is coming out of the "Little Ice Age, however, there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide.

"We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time,"

Al Gore deliberately overstated the rise in sea levels from 2' to over 20' in his Inconvenient Truth...and now notes from the CRU in England show that the earth hasn't warmed over the last fifteen years! In fact, since 2000 the earth has actually cooled.

Looks like this idiotic theory is falling apart just in time....we desperately NEED more factories, more mining and more gasoline refineries in America...not only to supply growing global energy demands but to put more Americans back to work!

BetteJo said...

We ought to go back to worrying about things we can't recycle (plastic bottles) and good old fashioned pollution. Trash, etc. If all those global warming dopes would out their energies into developing more products that can be reused and recycled we'd be in a lot better place. Instead now we have to what, disprove that the weather isn't changing? It's been changing since the earth has existed and will continue to change, no matter what we mere humans do. We can try to pay attention to keeping it clean. We'll get farther with that.

One could argue the merits of the science, but that's mostly pointless. No matter of actual evidence would mean antyhing to a someone so convinced it's all "made up".

What I've always been curious about is why right wingers are so apoplectic about it in the first place? My theory is that because the idea of a man-made contribution to the very real rise in global tempseratures is a "liberal cause", it therefore becomes something to be "opposed" to by definition.

In other words, because the particular type of ideology that Joe seems to identify with classifies anything that a "Liberal" might think is good policy, is bad by definition, it then becomes something to rail on reflexsively.

Am I close?

Joe said...

JMK: The economics of this issue are astonishing.

BetteJo: Indeed, there are certain things it makes sense to recycle. But just as with the weather, the issues are often "over-cooked."

Tom: Pointless to argue the merits of the science? What kind of nonsense is that? Suppose "science" told us that microbes don't cause disease (They used to think that, you know)? Would it not matter about the science and whether or not it was true?

"Right Wingers" did not assign the issue to you, you adopted it and were the first ones to assert this "Global Warming" foolishess.

As soon as the "science" came out, your goons started hyping it for all it's worth, seeing both political and financial gain from it. Your self-ascribed guru, Algore, lectured about it, wrote about it and produced a "documentary" about it. Don't try to push that off on us.

I promise that I never have, don't now and never will rail against something just because it is espoused by a liberal. I will, however, if it is wrong-headed, ill-conceived, un-scientific and just plain non-sensical, such as is the case with "Global Warming."

The global warming issues has been shown to have been fabricated by CRU, by NASA and by NCDC. Only Japan has not been proven to have been involved because mankind does not have ready access to their "data."

You were not even close!

Why don't you try discussion instead of accusation? Do you know what discussion is? Are you capable of engaging in it? Do you care more about what is true or about what fits your ideology?

Tom said...

I'm saying "discussion" on this topic is pointless, because the over-whelming science on the topic tilts in one partciular direction. Because of that, you simply claim it's fabricated.

See what I mean? There is absolutely no use discussing the merits of the science with you because you think it's some sort of nefarious plot to take over the world. There is absolutely no way you could be convinced otherwise.

I only care about the topic from the point of view of the politics. I've been curious why it's such a hot button issue for the rightw wingers. It's my opinion that it's because it's something a lot of Liberals are interested in... nothing more.

Dan said...

I just think it's funny how the right comes down anti-environment. Being the party of land rights and gun ownership/hunting, it seems obvious the right would want a cleaner environment regardless of whether or not climate change exists.

One of those instances where it's really easy to spot partisan hackery.

Joe said...

Tom: Are you related to Dan? You two vomit the same thing in every comment.

I happen to WANT a clean environment. I happen to like clean air and clean surroundings.

When I taught backpacking to kids, I always encouraged them to leave the camp site as clean as they found it or cleaner.

That meant they had to burn and bury the bones of the critters we shot with our Uzis.

That would be psuedo-science at this point, given that virtually ALL the AGW "research" behind the UN's reports came from the CRU at East Anglia University and the email dump from that institution showed "scientists" colluding to keep those who couldn't duplicate their results weren't peer reviewed, proved that they simply changed, "corrected" numbers that didn't fir their expected results and sold their pseudo-research to the highest bidder.

The idea that there are "no credible skeptics" is beyiond stupid, given that the "father of Climatology" (Dr. Reid Bryson) himself has said, "there is no question that the earth has been warming. It is coming out of the "Little Ice Age, however, there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide.

"We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time..."

Fact is the environment could use vastly MORE carbon dioxide! In carbon dioxide rich environs, plants grow enormously and produce much more oxygen.

The small sea level rise wouldn't be much of a problem at all. In fact, Since 1850, global temperatures have increased almost 1 degree Celsius. Sea level has risen about seven inches, though the connection is unclear. So far, global warming has been a change, not a calamity.

The fact is the answers to dealing with ANY human problem is more individualism, more personal liberty and responsibility...people solve problems NOT governments.

No command economy or government-run system has ever yielded even mediocre results, while America's system of economic freedom has been the wonder of the world.

We NEED to look to free market answers.
