Big Week for Global Warming & Climactic Change Carnival Barkers
Chris Hodapp - 3/08/2009
It’s been a big week for the perennially indignant Global Warming/Climate Change crowd.
Last weekend’s “largest ever demonstration for civil disobedience over climate change” in Washington DC, featuring NASA scientist Jim (”Coal plants are factories of death”) Hansen, along with hundr…thous…no, millions of protesters, was threatened by predictions of 12 inches of snow. Actually, less than a thousand showed up in the snowstorm to hear such working class heroes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. call for energy company executives to be in jail “for all eternity.” The protest was held at the gates of the Capitol Power Plant with the goal of “shutting down” their coal-fired boiler. The plant opened as usual Monday morning.
Columnist Christopher Booker reports that Britain’s Met Office, which has been one of the UK’s biggest sources of global warming hysterics for two decades, was forced to admit that this was Britain’s coldest winter in 13 years. This after predicting that 2007 would be the warmest year on record globally (whereupon global temperatures plummeted 1° Celsius and wrecking all of those predictive computer models), and stubbornly sticking to their guns with a similar prediction for 2009.

Global warming seems to be based on large amounts of CO2. I see this as scare mongering by certain governments in the world.
There has been a shift in the earth’s axis which is giving unseasonable weather patterns in many countries. This in my view has no bearing on the so called global warming we are led to believe.
Yes, the earth’s climate is changing and has always had a form of change just like in the 14th century where the UK had a mini ice age 200 hundred years ago. Global warming? No, just climate change.
In central London, certain roads are called Vine Road etc due to the fact that there were vineyards believe it or not. Global warming? No, just climate change.
CO2 emissions were very evident during 1940 +, but the temperature remained lower. Global warming? No, just climate change.
Greenhouse has many gases, but for some unknown reason, we are fed incorrect info that CO2 is the main threat to us.
Volcanoes, animals, bacteria, dying vegetation, and oceans spread more CO2 than anything man made!
The sun plays a big influence to our climate changes. Global warming? No, just climate change.
A thousand years ago, Greenland was much warmer than it is now. Global warming? No, just climate change.
Global Warming is a big ‘Bucks’ establishment which is politically motivated.
Third world countries are told that due to the so called Global Warming, they must not have electricity the way the US & UK do for example.
Africa for example has in abundance so much coal and oil, but again they are told that this will contribute greatly to the so called Global Warming. This is so untrue. Both oil and coal will/do not contribute to the Global Warming the way we have been led to believe is effecting our planet.
Now, who do you think runs the oil platform in Iraq? The Western countries do. Are they not the ones crying out ‘Global Warming’!
Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’ Intro by Joe D’Aleo, Icecap, CCM
I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.
By John Coleman
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.
I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.
I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.
Danish scientist: Global warming is a myth
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 15 (UPI) — A Danish scientist said the idea of a “global temperature” and global warming is more political than scientific.
University of Copenhagen Professor Bjarne Andresen has analyzed the topic in collaboration with Canadian Professors Christopher Essex from the University of Western Ontario and Ross McKitrick of the University of Guelph.
It is generally assumed the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans have grown warmer during the recent 50 years because of an upward trend in the so-called global temperature, which is the result of complex calculations and averaging of air temperature measurements taken around the world.
“It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth,” said Andresen, an expert on thermodynamics. “A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate”.
He says the currently used method of determining the global temperature — and any conclusion drawn from it — is more political than scientific.
The argument is presented in the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics.
