Wiley Greenhouse Fiend Dumps on Australia’s Summer

Viscious Global Warming attacks Australia with snow!  But summer still has more than three weeks to run.  Carbon dioxide is indeed a wiley greenhouse scourge, which can whimsically freeze both hemispheres at once!  Or maybe it is  dumb scientists, and Al Gore, who have made carbon dioxide appear intelligent.

Global Warming has moved South

THE final day of summer in the Snowy Mountains has taken on a wintry chill after snow fell last night at the ski resorts of Perisher Blue and Thredbo.

A light dusting of snow blanketed the NSW ski resorts overnight as temperatures dropped to a low of minus 3.8 degrees Celcius at Perisher and minus 3 degrees at Thredbo.

Intermittent light snow flurries continued to fall into the morning on Mount Perisher.

Weather forecasters are already predicting a bumper snow season for 2008, according to resort management. Temperatures are expected to remain low with persistent precipitation throughout winter.

“We have barely had a summer this year,” said Gary Grant, Perisher Blue’s general manager of marketing. “It’s felt as though it’s remained cold since the end of the 2007 season, apart from a few warm days, there air has always had a nip in it.”

Either Cycle 24 Starts Up, or Earth Cools Down (Bigtime).

The solar weather report  today is not good; if you like to eat.  There is no solar weather, to speak of.  If solar cycle 24 does not start soon, Earth could quickly sink into another Ice Age – and actually we are about due for one.

Unfortunately, carbon dioxide abatement will have exactly the same impact on the coming and perhaps imminent Ice Age; as human-generated carbon dioxide had on the interglacial warming!  Namely: zero, nada, none. (Except that high carbon dioxide levels may slightly enhance failing crops as the Earth freezes).

 The Coming of a New Ice Age

 BY GERALD E. MARSH
CHICAGO — Contrary to the conventional wisdom of the day, the real danger facing humanity is not global warming, but more likely the coming of a new Ice Age.  What we live in now is known as an interglacial, a relatively brief period between long ice ages.  Unfortunately for us, most interglacial periods last only about ten thousand years, and that is how long it has been since the last Ice Age ended.   How much longer do we have before the ice begins to spread across the Earth’s surface?  Less than a hundred years or several hundred?  We simply don’t know.

No Effect – of Carbon Dioxide on Temperature

Whole story  here.

Al Gore and colleagues think they know better than the free market economy of the United States, what to do with capital.

Their BEST idea was to fight carbon dioxide.

Government proves again:  capital belongs in the free markets.  How much longer will we test, at mortal cost, this fundamental principal of human governance?

What funds governments, including the United Nations, has directed to carbon dioxide emission control has been the most foolish of wastes.

Utter, complete, waste.

Al Gore: Give the Nobel Prize Back!

An open appeal to Al Gore, who has bamboozeled humanity to fear warmth, so he could sell carbon credits:

Al Gore, a warm Earth is a rich and prosperous Earth, for humans and the species.

Al Gore, the Earth is not warming.  Anthropogenic carbon dioxide has had no observable impact; except to increase crop yields.

Al Gore, a cold Earth is a deadly Earth, to humans and to all species.  History is replete with evidence; as is paleoclimatology (which is a science, Al).

Al Gore, legitimate scientists should be concerned about global cooling today.  You have obstructed funding of all research related to climate, except fraudulent “research” which helped you sell carbon credits.

Al Gore, you have willfully prevented research in increasing food production during inevitable cold periods facing humankind.

Al Gore, you have obstructed and prevented the honest measurement of temperature in every city, town, and hamlet on Earth.

Al Gore, you have lied to all humanity.

Al Gore, as humans and countless, innocent, polar bears freeze to death today; as crops fail; as food supplies dwindle; you flip/flop and now maintain that carbon dioxide is a global coolant suddenly, by magic transposed from a greenhouse gas. 

Al Gore, admit it:  you KNEW all along that carbon dioxide measurements FOLLOWED global temperature, in every polar ice core ever studied (or; you could be as dumb as you look . . . scary)

Al Gore, desist from your bizarre attempts to invert your profoundly stupid hockey stick curve; for the sake of your pocket-book, as you wreak death and devastation upon all humankind.

Al Gore, you are obviously a criminal organization.

Al Gore – GIVE THE NOBEL PRIZE BACK. 

You have embarrassed the entire human race; and probably embarrassed the entire universe.

We are many

We have awoken

And we do not forget 

we are Chillnonymous

Massive Growth in Polar Ice

As carbon dioxide content in atmosphere continues to increase –  

polar bear extinction is going to have to be from too much ice; see here.  

Global Warming? New Data Shows Ice Is Back

Are the world’s ice caps melting because of climate change, or are the reports just a lot of scare mongering by the advocates of the global warming theory?Scare mongering appears to be the case, according to reports from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that reveal that almost all the allegedly “lost” ice has come back. A NOAA report shows that ice levels which had shrunk from 5 million square miles in January 2007 to just 1.5 million square miles in October, are almost back to their original levels.

Moreover, a Feb. 18 report in the London Daily Express showed that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than usual, challenging the global warming crusaders and buttressing arguments of skeptics who deny that the world is undergoing global warming.

The Daily express recalls the photograph of polar bears clinging on to a melting iceberg which has been widely hailed as proof of the need to fight climate change and has been used by former Vice President Al Gore during his “Inconvenient Truth” lectures about mankind’s alleged impact on the global climate.

Gore fails to mention that the photograph was taken in the month of August when melting is normal. Or that the polar bear population has soared in recent years.

Hemispheric Ice Cube!

All caused by carbon dioxide’s incredible greenhouse capacity.

James Hansen, Al Gore, Michael Mann; never fear!  You can easily contrive ANOTHER hockey-stick curve, POINTING DOWN.

180,000 stranded in southern China as cold weather returns – govt

AFX News Limited

02.18.08, 4:39 AM ET

 BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) – Icy temperatures have swept through south China, stranding 180,000 people and leading to widespread power cuts, just as the area was recovering from the worst weather in 50 years, the government said.

The latest cold snap has taken a severe toll in mountainous but usually temperate Yunnan province, struck by heavy snowfalls since Thursday, a government official from the provincial disaster release office told Agence France-Presse.

In Yunnan, 12 people have died, the official Xinhua news agency reported, and four remained missing as of Saturday.

In the province’s second largest city, Qujing, 80 pct of the 2 mln residents did not have electricity due to the most recent cold snap and the severe weather that first hit China in early January, the China Daily said.

The snowfalls over the past few days have cut off 14,000 kilometres of roads in Yunnan, stranding large numbers of people, the newspaper said, citing provincial transport authorities.

In Qujing, six highways have been closed while 42 bus routes have been cancelled, according to the China Daily.

‘As the bad weather continues, the rescue work is becoming much harder,’ said the official from the provincial disaster release office, referring to helping stranded passengers, clearing roads and getting power back up.

‘Among all the cities affected by the snow disaster, Qujing city suffered from the greatest economic losses,’ the official added.

Some 180,000 people were stranded in south China due to the latest weather troubles, the government and state media reported.

Usually warm and sunny Yunnan was one of the areas hard hit by the frigid weather in January and early February, which pummelled China’s south, southwest and east, in the worst winter weather seen in five decades.

The three weeks of severe weather left millions stranded, as the nation’s power and transport networks were unable to cope with the blizzards and sub-zero temperatures.

The Debacle Starts?

Sun’s magnetic field, and sunspots are gone.   Cycle 24 is OVERDUE, and maybe postponed indefinitely!

Collectivists say:  Stop emitting carbon dioxide now; else you will FREEZE and STARVE!

Last week, we were going to BOIL, and STARVE!

Which is it, idiots?  Make up, whatever it is you call, your minds.

As carbon dioxide continues to increase, Earth’s temperature, worldwide plummets.

More Bogus Warming Data

I’d guess almost one-half a degree in bias in data prior to 1965 for this latest example from Anthony Watts; not greatly different from #51 to the layman.  Apparently, there is a systematic bias in this data which has been used to decide how and where to spend tax dollars.  It seems to me the half-degree is equal to the entire claimed anthropogenic warming effect!   

Naturally, Jim Hansen is up to his eyeballs in this excremental information.  What a bowl diver!

 Watt’s Up With That #52/

As is typical when an MMTS sensor gets installed by NOAA/NWS to replace the traditional Stevenson Screen, it got closer to human habitation, and in this case, a LOT closer. Too close I’d say:

In a comment on the subject, Steve Mosher offers an explanation:

In Hansen 2001 Hansen says he uses nightlights to determine
if a station is Rural in the US and population everywhere else.
Miles city population is less than 10K which makes it rural,
BUT, nightlights ( satellite imagery taken in 1995)
indicates a brightness factor for Miles of 26! effectively making it urban.

Time for Congressional Investigation

Has our nation been devoted to the now obvious falsity of “global warming” for the economic gain of a few . . .

The winners:  Al Gore, James Hansen, and a few others; some named below.

It is long past time to get our Congress doing the useful work of the people, and get to the bottom of why the useless fool’s errand of chasing down carbon dioxide.

It is time now for a full-blown Congressional Investigation of this utter fraud against the American people; and a fraud against the people of the world.

A most relevant letter below from Richard Lindzen, a leading scientist who has challenged the polemic (fraud) openly, and been slandered for it:

From John Ray at Greenie Watch

An email from Prof. Lindzen [rlindzen@MIT.EDU]I would suppose that you are sometimes accused of thinking that the global warming issue is a conspiracy. Whenever such an accusation is made to me, I respond that no conspiracy is needed. However, increasingly it is evident that conspiracy has played a role.For example, Tony Socci, who played a significant role in the Singer affair, is now the spokesman of the American Meteorological Society in Washington. John Firor, who was for many years the administrative director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, was also the chairman of the board of the Environmental Defense Fund. R. Napier, president of the World Wildlife Federation – UK, is also chairman of the board of the UK Meteorological Office (which includes the Hadley Center).Jim Hansen is closely associated with Michael Oppenheimer who was long the Barbara Streisand Scientist at Environmental Defense, and, apparently Michael was on the EPA review panel that recommended the funding of Hansen to get into climate modeling (after NASA had cut funds for the New York lab). Oppenheimer, despite only being a minor author of 3-4 peer reviewed scientific papers on climate, is now a professor at Princeton University. It would be interesting to know who endowed his professorship.

There are many other examples of such interlocking relations between environmental activism (in political or organizational form) and seemingly authoritative academic bodies. I doubt that these relations are accidental.

Moreover, intentional slander seems to be a standard tactic. One matter which involved me was the accusation by Gelbspan that I had lied about a debate in the UK with Bert Bolin. I informed Gelbspan that I had a tape of the debate. Gelbspan said that he wasn’t interested. Much of this happened quite long ago, but the situation only seems to be getting worse. My hope is that this is simply a fever before the disease breaks.

Winter of 2007-8 A Killer; let’s NOT make energy more expensive!

Is Tajikistan’s devastating winter this year, a preview of North America’s next year?  Or maybe North America’s spring this year!

Doubling the cost of energy, to prevent warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, seems a dubious suicidal move, particularly when carbon dioxide has shown practically no contribution to greenhouse warming.    (See Global-staying-the-same-for-the-last-decade)

Enduring Tajikistan’s coldest winter
Is this what Al Gore wants for you?

______________________________________


 .
14 Feb 08 – After suffering its worst winter in 50 years, Tajikistan has finally appealed to the United Nations for aid. But a total loss of electricity is still a possibility, and could have terrible consequences.

Left without heat, electricity or running water, hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to survive the coldest winter Tajikistan has seen for decades.

Energy has always been scarce here, but it only took a few weeks of cold weather to throw this country decades back in time.

In January, as temperatures dropped to a record low of -20C, people started consuming more power to keep warm and the country’s entire energy system began to shut down.

In the mountains, rivers froze, leaving hydropower stations without supplies to run their turbines. In the cities and villages, frozen pipes left millions of people without drinking water.

“I lived in Sierra Leone during the war there but I think this is worse,” one aid worker in the capital, Dushanbe, told me.

There is something extremely oppressive, almost humiliating, about being constantly cold. The merciless chill seeps through clothes, bites into skin and never lets go.

The UN agencies say that, with more money spent on fuel or wood, people have nothing left to eat and that food shortages are becoming severe.

At a freezing-cold maternity ward outside Dushanbe, a nurse told me she was terrified of the disaster that a total blackout could bring. Electricity supplies to her hospital are already scarce and there is no heating.

Floating around Dushanbe are horrifying accounts of babies freezing to death in maternity wards, or people on life support, dying during electricity cuts.

               Ten people living in one room. No electricity, no heat, 
               no running water, and no food. Do you really want to 
               cut your energy consumption by 80 percent?
