Copenhagen a Resounding Success!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:22:20 PM
Since the end of the Copenhagen Climate Summit isn't until around the 18th of December, depending on the after parties. And, in the light of the fact that that date is getting close to the Christmas season, it seems prudent to write this story now.

Dateline: Copenhagen, December 19th 2009

"After weeks of exhausting negotiations it was announced, ten days from now, that the COP15 summit was a huge success. Although, falling short of any real hard agreements, a framework has been laid that will lead to significant emissions reductions in the coming years. This is being characterized as an historic moment in the fight to control human induced climate change with significant reductions of CO2 emissions, which are the sole cause of the warming that is currently devastating the planet."

I may not have gotten the wording just right but look for something similar from the "Circle of Commitment"; at least I think that is name the climate Star Chamber has chosen for itself. CO2, the great enemy of our time, will be on the run as our economy begins to take off with the addition of millions of heavily subsidized "green" jobs, which will provide the where with all to cover the flow of billions of dollars to the poor developing countries of the world, such as China. We all understand how hard pressed they are.

Yes, evil CO2 will be defeated in our time!

Here is an example of this dangerous gas, which constitutes .03 percent of the earth's atmosphere, doing its evil work

Let's face it! You have to ignore a tremendous amount of science to get to the conclusion drawn recently by the EPA finding which states that CO2 is a dangerous toxic gas. High concentrations of CO2 make for a verdant planet. A small point that scientists might want to keep in mind when thinking about how we will feed a growing population, and produce those renewable energy sources they are so fond of talking about. I doubt that killing all the plants on the planet is going to help in the long term!

BTW, all you budding Mr. Wizards out there can feel free to try this experiment at home. I guarantee it is perfectly safe and may indeed prove useful once we achieved third world status. Hint: potatoes, no matter how you spell'em, are highly nutritious and life sustaining, particularly when converted into Irish Poitin!

How Many Chances Should You Get?

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 11:00:32 AM
Let’s say you are the considered the United States’ leading climate scientist, in fact, you are considered such a big brain that they put you in charge of something like the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies(GISS). And also imagine that you make a public statement concerning the weather that is so wrong that the Telegraph.co.uk describes it as a “surreal scientific blunder” and that the blunder is so blatant that not one, but two lesser lights in the climate science community are able to find this gigantic error in less time than it took your 2nd grade teacher to find the error in your 2 times tables.
 
Add to that, that this is NOT the first time you have made an extraordinary claim about record temperatures that were just flatly wrong. This is same Dr. Hansen who, just 30 years ago, said we would all freeze to death, and more recently had to retract his statement that the 90’s were the warmest decade when it turned out to be the 30’s. Hey! He only missed it by 60 years!
 
Would you expect to keep your job?
 
Well, you and I might expect to get sacked but not if you are Dr. James Hansen, and you and “nobel lariat” Al Gore are tight buds. [Small N for de-emphasis] Little mistakes like claiming last October was the warmest on record, and we’ve been keeping records for a long time now, despite such unscientific visual data in October, as snow in South Florida and London, you would probably not even be called to account for it if your employer is the U.S. Government.
 
If the cover afforded you by powerful friends with big houses, private jets, and money to burn, which may become useful since the planet is actually getting colder, you can always count on backup from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Chairman, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, a highly trained former railway engineer with no qualifications in climate science, according to the Telegraph story. Why you ask is a railway engineer in charge of the world’s most prestigious climate change committee? Well, the simple answer is: I have NO idea! Hey! It's the UN!
 
My guess is that these two characters are working up a Jon Lovitz style routine based on his Tommy Flannagan, pathological liar routine. You remember how this goes.
 
Tommy: [Dr. Hansen] Hello, I’m Dr. James Hansen and I’m the top guy at GISS and I know everything about temperatures. Yeah, that’s it. …Ehhhh, who am I kiddin’? I’m the smartest guy in the world! I’m here to tell you that it’s getting’ warm…er,eh; it’s going to get hot enough to fry the planet! Yeah that’s it, that’s the ticket! You’re all gonna die by next wee…eh, eh, eh, 2030! Yeah that’s right, 2030! But we have to do something about it by next week! No time to wait!
 
Below is thought to be a candid snapshot of Dr. Hansen waiting to make his announcement to the press in Honolulu, it might have been Miami, but it was one of those tropical locations. Also pictured is believed to be Dr. Aoki Kishiaka, another member of the IPCC without any climate science credentials. Dr. Kishiaka is the Chairman of the largest chain of Sushi restaurants in Japan. Although not covered in the article, it is thought that he was delivering a paper on the impact of climate change on the oceans. He postulates that rising sea temperatures will pre-cook the fish making Sashimi impossible to produce. (Ok, I made that last part up)
 
 
The public in the UK is starting to wakeup to the global scam but the good ole’ U.S. is still trying to beat this dead horse. A dishonest scientist, regardless of credentials, is not credible and should be removed before he creates any more public hysteria. The climate change people have missed the gravy train and it is now unloading at a bank or manufacturing company near you. Compared to the economic conditions in this country, global warming is just not scary enough! In fact, as we anticipate becoming homeless it may become a good idea.
 
It is currently 39 degrees here in Chesapeake, which is not a record but is lower than average, and this writer is feeling the cold. Brrrr! Sarge would appreciate it if you would all drive a few extra miles and breath really fast today. Maybe if we can get the CO2 level up I won’t freeze to death.

Words Have Power!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 12:21:28 PM
Most will recall that Bill Clinton, a man who clearly understands the power of words, took his place in the pantheon of linguistics giants when he said, "it depends on what the meaning of is, is". This was an historic moment in the evolution of political speak. Lesser beings have tried to equal this high standard, George Bush for example said, "Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"
 
Apparently, the President is at war, not just with terror, but also the English language. This sadly does not qualify him for elevation to the level of a Bill Clinton but is impressive as a substantial body of work, rivaling that of Joe Biden's 36 year career, achieving it in a mere seven and half years.
 
Some time ago now, Global Warming, or AGW, was a term in everyday use, when suddenly the term morphed into Climate Change. No individual is easily cited for originating that reference, however, the media immediately seized on the term and is largely credited for the change in daily usage. This simple change in the words seems trivial but I suggest that since it's introduction the planet has begun to cool. Words do indeed have power!
 
Now, John McCain has entered the arena and tackled the biggest issue of our day; the economy. McCain may be a serious contender in the words to power world. Just yesterday he changed the term Wall Street Bailout to Wall Street Rescue. If the theory established in the AGW model is workable, we should immediately see improvements in financial markets and the overall economy.
 
America hates bailing people out of problems of their making but we dearly love to rescue people. We must love it, since we have been doing practically nothing else since the end of World War II. The fact is, we are so generous that we are now 10-11 trillion dollars in debt as a country with no end in sight ,as congress continues to pour on the ethanol (you can't say coal anymore).  The train wreck is going to be spectacular!
 
Tell congress to stop the train, we want to get off. Let the market finds it's own way. Congress has created enough problems already by fixing things, it's time for some unfixing. Abolish the CRA and eliminate the Banking Rules of '99 and get out the private sector altogether. That would be a good place to start before moving on to drilling for oil, stopping illegal aliens, eliminating earmarks, getting out of education, passing the fair tax, stopping subsides, shrinking government, and fiddling with our light bulbs.

When you get that done get back to me, I have more!
