There’s
desperation in evidence by the Man-caused [Anthropogenic] Global
Warming (AGW) zealots. A concerned local like Norm Sauer makes
the effort to educate himself about the misinformation circulating and
writes a column for our small town paper in Grass Valley, CA.
Who should show up to demonize and play
whack-a-mole on him but a national leader of the hoaxers, Michael
Mann, who just “happened” to submit a hit piece on Norm from
Pennsylvania on the very same day Norm’s article appeared. Soon
after, another wealth redistributer from the Bay Area chimes in.
Heidi Hall then makes another foolish decision and joins the beat down
of Sauer.
The UK Sunday Telegraph said: “Mann’s
‘Hockey Stick’ is the most celebrated of all attempts to rewrite the
scientific evidence. It has become the most discredited artifact
in the history of science.”
The House Energy & Commerce Committee
cited Mann’s: “Bad mathematics, where his conclusions cannot be
supported by his analysis”. The National Academy of
Sciences declared his methodology: “Inappropriate and based on
bad science.” Even the UN claimed he: “Used
inappropriate statistical tools and exaggerated the effect”.
Australia’s world renowned scientist, Ian
Plimer states: “The ‘hockey stick’ graph is contrary to thousands
of published papers. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary
proof. This was demolished by statistics. In other fields
of science it would be considered fraud and Mann stricken from
practice”.
The UN itself stated: “None of our
studies to date has shown clear evidence or positively attributed
climate change to man-made causes. Climate model predictions
should be considered plausible and illustrative and do not have
probabilities attached”.
In 2008 UN IPCC expert reviewer and world’s
foremost hurricane forecaster, Dr. Vincent Gray, resigned citing
widespread and fraudulent manipulation of data at the IPCC
saying: “Genuine science has been distorted and ‘spun’ to support
a global campaign which has no scientific basis. Global
Warming is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American
people. All my colleagues agree”.
International leaders of the hoax, including
Mann, were caught emailing their plans to delete reports from IPCC
files, to change data to hide facts that don’t fit their models,
admitting they can’t explain 18 years of cooling, for trying to get
editors fired that print dissenting reports and for deleting raw data.
Despite all this, Mann unleashes vicious
personal character assassinations on sane, reasoned and factual
rebuttals of his disproved theories. Norm Sauer clearly has the
better reputation and grasp of the truth than Michael Mann or Heidi
Hall.
Obama and minions like Mann and Hall are
hoping to commit us to a disastrous UN takeover of our energy,
environment and economy by a treaty at the UN Climate Change Convention
this December in Paris without a vote in the Senate. They are
again depending on the stupidity of uninformed and misinformed
Americans to give up their freedoms.
CONTINUE RESEARCH AND DON’T RUSH TO JUDGMENT
If the AGW theory were true why do the pushers
resort to lies, fudging the numbers, refusing to debate and crucifying
dissenters? It would be easier to swallow if one couldn’t cite
the following published, documented facts while keeping in mind if even
one is correct the game is over.
Global warming is part of a natural 1,500 year
cycle. Not one of their computer models has been proven
correct. CO2 levels were 6 times higher 50 million years ago
(with no humans). Periods in history with the same temps have had
20 times more CO2 (which is proven to be a lagging indicator and not a
cause of warming).
The recent warming trend ran from 1978 to
1997. Since 1998 there has been cooling. How can 19 years
prove man causes warming but 18 years don’t prove there is no
warming? Polar bear populations are the healthiest and
highest ever recorded. There are 1 million more square kilometers
of sea ice than 35 years ago.
Four years in the 1930s were the hottest on
record. The hottest year ever was 1934. Not one year in the
2000s even made the top ten. UK Telegraph reports: NOAA
“shamelessly manipulated” surface temps for
decades.
It would take 166 years for a 1% loss in
Arctic ice using the alarmist’s temps. It would take 13,000 years
to completely melt the Greenland Ice Sheet and the oceans would only
rise 2 inches by 2130.
Al Gore becomes a multibillionaire the day his
exclusive cap and trade exchanges in London and Chicago open, then 4%
commissions on trillions each year. That’s huge skin in the
game. The chart at the end of his “documentary” proves that CO2
does not cause warmer temperatures.
Today’s plant species are a million years old
and have survived 20 times today’s CO2 levels. Coral bleaching is
a natural changing of algae in a healing process and reefs survived in
Mesozoic times with 3 to 6 times current CO2 levels. The ocean
around the Maldive Islands has fallen by 11 inches in 50
years.
In 1942 Allied planes ditched in Greenland,
one was found in 1992 under 268 feet of glacial ice. If all CO2
emitting power plants, vehicles and factories in the US were shut down
today, it would decrease global warming by an undetectable .3 degree
F by 2100.
CO2 is a nutrient and essential fertilizer for
life. A pollutant must produce harmful effects. CO2 is
nontoxic, invisible and has no physiological effects. Reducing
CO2 by half by 2050 will cost $75 trillion for a 3 degree drop in temps
that even warming proponents say will have little effect on
climate.
In 1998, 17,000 scientists signed a statement
that AGW does not exist. The greatest “scientific
consensus” of “settled science” EVER told us the Earth was
flat. Another was that tectonic plates were not real.
Another said Earth was the center of the Universe. Science cannot
be “settled” by definition.
Many of the same “scientists” preaching “AGW”
today were the “Chicken Littles” screaming about a coming New Ice Age
in the early 1970s. In 2009 31,000 scientists (9,000 with PhDs)
signed a petition stating AGW is wrong. Any moron claiming he has
97% agreeing with AGW needs 1,002,333 scientists. The Warming
scientists are clearly in the minority.
The Medieval Warm Period (900 to 1300 AD) saw
temps 2 degees C warmer than today and Vikings farmed Greenland.
The Little Ice Age (1350 to 1800 AD) was 2 to 4 degrees C colder and
millions died.
New EPA Ozone regulations in the Clean Power
Plan could cost $3.4 trillion and 2.9 million jobs by 2040.
That’s $1,570 per year per household and we aren’t allowed to even see
their calculations and data. How many tens of millions of jobs
could be created overnight by abolishing the EPA?
China is exempt from all UN regulations until
2030 and then only has to stop emissions at that date’s levels.
Meanwhile they open a new coal-fired plant every 10 days. 35
leading international climate scientists radically refute accurately
projecting climate even 10 years ahead, let alone 100.
Warmers refuse to debate the issue,
claiming there is such a “near-unanimous consensus” that no more
debate should be permitted and “deniers” should be jailed under
the RICO laws. “Deniers” is not the language of science and
honest scientists don’t run scared from “Deniers”.
The idiotic claim of a 97% consensus comes
from the thoroughly discredited poll concocted by Warmer activist John
Cook. This guy has skin in the game running the pseudoscientific
blog site “skepticalscience.com” that Mann touts.
Of his “12,000 papers studied”, he tossed
8,000 that said nothing about AGW. There went 66% of his
97%. Of the 4,000 left, he counted any mention at all of warming
as on his side. Actually, only 65 papers specifically stated man
was causing global warming. Less than half of the papers said man
even contributes and 78 said man had no role whatsoever. These
people are delusional saying 97% agree.
Warmers never
ask who funds their side of the debate, only where skeptics get
money. There is $2.5 billion each year in UN and
Federal grants up for grabs and 95% of that goes to those who will back
AGW. Do you really think reputations aren’t sold for this kind of
money?
Weather Channel founder, John Coleman,
says: “There is a total distortion of the data and an
agenda-driven destructive episode of bad science gone berserk.
Politically funded, agenda-driven scientists have built their careers
and livelihoods on this theory”.
Dr. Gavin Schmidt is now director of NASA’s
Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He is also the keeper of
realclimate.org, an anti-skeptic blog managed by CRU and NASA
employees. They exercise censorship power at major
journals and feed biased material to mainstream journalists.
Dr. Roy Spencer, former head of NASA climate
studies says: “The facts are simply made up. There is no
fingerprint of human caused versus naturally caused climate
change. Not one scientific paper published has ruled out natural
climate variability for most of our warming”.
He further states: “What you have is a
bunch of physicists from other fields with no understanding of
meteorology building climate models on computers. Evidence from
satellites shows that when the tropics warm up a natural cooling
process kicks in. All these climate computer models do the
opposite and none include sun spot cycles”.
James Hansen, his successor, controls NASA’s
temp database. He calls coal trains “death trains” and advocates
that CEOs of fossil fuel companies be put on trial for crimes against
humanity. He has taken $250,000 from the Heinz family
and $750,000 from George Soros to promote AGW.
GOODBYE, AMERICA
Christina
Figueres, executive secretary for UN Climate Change Convention in Paris
this year has admitted: “The goal of environmental activists is
not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy
capitalism. We are setting for ourselves the task of changing the
economic model that has been reigning for 150
years”.
IPCC members have stated: “Capitalism is
the worst economic system ever developed and private property ownership
is perverted”. They demand $75 billion a year from the US under
the guise of “Social Justice”, “Sustainable Development” and
“Environmental Justice” with no say in how it is spent.
US Senator Tom Wirth addressed the ’92 Rio
Summit: “We have 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”.
Rio Earth Summit organizer Maurice Strong in
1992 said: “We may get to the point where the only way of saving
the world will be for industrialized civilization to collapse.
Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”.
Obama’s director of Science and Technology,
John Holdren, said: “We need a massive campaign to de-develop the
US, diverting resources and energy to underdeveloped countries”.
Christine Stewart, Canadian Minister of the
Environment and Warmer activist, said in 1998: “No matter if the
science of global warming is all phony……….climate change provides the
greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world”.
IPCC
official, Ottmar Edenhofer, said in 2010: “One has to free
oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is
environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how
we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth”. Third world
dictators are thrilled with anticipation.
Mikhail Gorbachev in ’96 said: “The
threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key
to unlock the New World Order”.
India announced that they would rather save
their people from poverty than “Global Warming”. With the $50
billion [trillion?] it will cost to comply with new EPA regulations on
CO2 we could electrify every home in the world.
You really should do even minimal research on
the opposition’s side before parroting foolish misinformation. I
can cite the authority for every statement made
here.
Try reading “Unstoppable Warming: Every
1,500 years” by Dr. Fred Singer, or “Climategate” by Brian Sussman or
“Climate Confusion” by Dr. Roy Spencer or the many excellent essays by
Dr. Michael Coffman to get real information. Watch the new
“Climate Hustle” movie or “The Great Global Warming Swindle”.
The EPA is implementing draconian regulations
without one shred of empirical scientific evidence.
The IPCC convention in December in Paris is their last chance to take
over the world economy and redistribute the world’s wealth, as too many
people are wising up to their
hoax.
Our local League of Women’s Voters hired two
hacks to come to town recently and promote the 97% consensus lie, the
“Hockey Stick” joke, that 13 of the 15 years since 2000 were the
hottest on record, that there’s a five foot sea rise coming soon, that
the Maldive Islands are sinking, that coral reefs are going extinct and
other falsehoods. With no rebuttal speakers is this really a
non-partisan group?
K-12 classes are no longer taught US history
and how we became great. They learn instead how we warm the
earth, make species extinct, exploited native Americans, overpopulate
the earth, pollute the air and water, and create toxic waste.
In 1942 newspaper headlines declared :
“Arctic Is Warming” and “Radical Change in Climate” and “Some Glaciers
Disappearing”. In 1947 one headline read: “International
Agency Needed To Stop the Arctic Meltdown”. In the 1970s banner
headlines trumpeted warnings of the upcoming “New Ice Age” that would
devastate the globe.
Environmental fearmongering is the hammer
being used to implement UN Agenda 21 and a New UN World Order with
Universal Health Care, right to housing, worldwide wealth
redistribution, private property elimination, closed public lands and
enforced compliance from local, state and federal governments.
Heidi Hall worked in the EPA while they brought some of these things
about.
Hysteria and fearmongering is no way to
conduct energy or environmental policy. Man-caused global
warming hoaxers are relying on the stupidity of all Americans to give
up their freedom and their country to the UN scam in Paris in
December. There is still time to take action. Speak out,
call and write your representatives. Thank Congressman Doug
LaMalfa for seeking the truth and acting on it.
The
following editorial appeared a few weeks later, on Saturday, Nov. 28,
2015:
Warming or not, that is the
question
by Robert
Whiteaker
I want to thank The Union for the recent airings of differing views on
so-called climate change. I find the claims from both sides of this
debate interesting and wish I had a degree in climatology so I could
research the data and determine for myself which side is right.
However, I am just an ordinary citizen trying to decipher whether the
alarmist’s claims of man-caused global warming (MCGW) are correct, or
the deniers are correct. If the alarmists are correct and MCGW will
drastically imperil future living conditions on the earth, I should be
very concerned.
But should I really believe the alarmists? There have been some false
claims and data jockeying on the alarmist side such as the East Anglia
fiasco; and the “97 percent of scientists agree” is certainly a
contrived percentage. Another concern is the lack of any significant
global warming in the last eighteen or so years. Those problems aside,
there are several things that bother me about the alarmist claims.
First of all, I don’t trust the temperature data. How can one get
accurate and meaningful temperature data from a few hundred, or even
thousands, of temperature reading devices, and say that those readings
represent the temperature of the entire earth? Temperature readings
from satellites are probably better but do they really know what to do
with the data?
Second, it seems to me that MCGW with disastrous predictions decades in
the future exists only in models devised by the alarmists. So why
should anyone believe it will happen decades from now when the weather
forecasters only give probabilities for tomorrow’s weather?
Third, I am extremely distrustful of the alarmists when they insist
that man-caused global warming is settled science.
This is a ridiculous position to take as scientific knowledge is seldom
“settled.” Remember when chocolate was considered a bad food and is now
claimed to be healthful because of the antioxidants contained in dark
chocolate?
The fourth thing that bothers me about the alarmist views of global
warming is that the government has decided to tax carbon emissions
ostensibly to reduce it and prevent or delay MCGW.
The old adage of “follow the money” applies here. If the carbon tax is
a cash cow for government coffers they have no incentive to accept any
data to the contrary.
Our president has even called it the greatest problem the world is
facing today. Really?
Not the wars and Russian intervention in the Middle East? Not terrorist
attacks that are happening more frequently? Not the weakening World
economies? Not government corruption or our massive, unpayable national
debt of almost nineteen trillion dollars? All the better to focus on a
problem that is decades away, I guess?
Incredibly, the Pope has also jumped on the MCGW bandwagon. Now, if he
is in close contact with the God who created the Universe and its
planet Earth, which He made for humans to inhabit, maybe we should all
be worried. Maybe. Or, maybe God designed the Earth to handle varying
levels of carbon dioxide. Certainly He would know increases would occur
and it seems reasonable that He would have accounted for it in His
design. Nevertheless, the Bible says that the Earth will come to an end
at some point anyway. So why does the Pope worry about it now or even
call attention to fixing it if it is ordained to happen anyway?
The fifth thing is that I am not convinced that some global warming is
necessarily bad. A milder warming over the years might increase
temperatures in colder areas enough to allow longer growing seasons and
increased crop yields to feed the Earth’s growing population.
I don’t really expect to see a comprehensive and unbiased presentation
of the whole MCGW thing just because it is so politically contaminated.
And I am saddened by the lack of critical thinking about the subject
and its so-called “settled science.”
Our high schools and universities seem to teach dogma rather than
critical thinking these days, and that has allowed political
correctness to prevail over common sense and undermine our unique
American culture. Hopefully, The Union will continue to publish new
information and studies about global climate change as they become
available.
Robert Whiteaker lives in Lake Wildwood.
