Lest we forget, and the president seems happy to remind us of the fact, climate change is still one of his top priorities. In his SOTU address he reiterated his desire to see Cap and Tax passed as part of his so-called Energy Bill, adding this statement, “I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change”.
He is just dead wrong. The public is becoming increasingly aware that the scientific evidence on climate change (formerly known as global warming) is a complete fraud! The president blithely ignores Climategate, as well as the near full on demand for the resignation of IPCC chairman Pachauri, over the discovery that, in complete violation of IPCC rules, huge amounts of the IPCC reports have been based upon sources that have not been peer reviewed.
According to an article last week in the UK’s Mail Online: “the IPCC was forced to apologise [sic] after wrongly claiming the Himalayan glaciers could vanish within 25 years. Critics have also accused it of exaggerating the risk of tropical storms and hurricanes.”
Further, today in the same Mail Online, the investigation of the University of East Anglia produced the following:
“Scientists at the heart of the 'Climategate' email scandal broke the law when they refused to give raw data to the public, the privacy watchdog has ruled.
The Information Commissioner's office said University of East Anglia researchers breached the Freedom of Information Act when handling requests from climate change sceptics [sic].
But the scientists will escape prosecution because the offences took place more than six months ago.”
So, what can we conclude from this information?
First, I would suggest that nobody hides data that irrefutably proves their theory. Duh? Would Sir Isaac Newton keep mum about his laws of motion? Would he say, “Yeah, I know why a body in motion tends to stay in motion but I’m not going tell you, take my word for it, the debate is over, now give me all your money!” Second, why is the statute of limitations on a trillion dollar fraud only six months? It took longer than that to catch Bernie Madoff and he didn’t steal nearly as much money, and yet, we still put him in jail.
In a previous post, I have already ventured into the increasingly disturbing revelations coming as a result of the close scrutiny now being given to the U.S.’s NCDC/GISS surface temperature data manipulations.
Now there is a new and detailed paper by Joseph D’Aleo and Anthony Watts (wattsupwiththat.com) on this very fast growing subject. Watts, who with a network of volunteers, has been engaged in a two year quest to do an onsite verification of station data gathering sites, now teams with D’Aleo to produce this paper titled, SURFACE TEMPERATURE RECORDS: POLICY DRIVEN DECEPTION?, now available at the SSPI website in PDF format. It’s a 100 pages but worth the read. It is the “It’s a Small World” ride through the miserable state of climate science, both here at home and abroad, and like the Disney ride, it will make you nuts if you’re over 5 years old!
For those of you not inclined to invest that kind of time, or perhaps, are already too close to the edge, Anthony Watts provides this short summary. “The short read: The surface record is a mess.” (sorry for the technical jargon)
Here is an example of one of our carefully placed surface temperature gathering stations; this one is of the NOAA USHCN COOP station at Hanksville, UT, sited over a grave. Photo by surfacestations volunteer Juan Slayton.
No, this has not been Photoshopped! This is how NOAA figures out our temperature data! Do you start to see the problem? This is the master database used by scientists and policy makers to determine what action to take about global warming! In the interests of full disclosure this not representative of all of the stations surveyed, some are worse, some are better.
No story about AGW or Climate Change, or whatever they are calling today, would be complete without getting a quote from that eminent climate scientist and outdoorsman, Osama bin Laden, who warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt. That sounds about right, Cap and Tax should go a long way toward achieving that goal.
You probably didn’t realize that jihadis hate us for our carbon footprint more than anything. That might explain why they keep trying to blow up our Humvees.
OBL continued, “He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for "drastic solutions" to global warming, and "not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change.”
That rhetoric comes to you from the sworn enemy of people of United States. Oddly, the same statements come to us from Barack Obama, Al Gore, Dr. James Hansen, and many of our leading climate scientists and government leaders.
Are we to be persuaded that it is mere coincidence that Mr. Bin Laden’s solutions for destroying us, are the same as our president’s solutions for saving us?
Well, there you have it, Consensus! The debate is over! Burn you car, burn your house, quit your job, and go live in a cave!
