The Day Global Warming Stood Still

The Science of Fraud


Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December.

It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.

The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate's version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.

"I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard," Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. "Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked."

Inhofe added: "Today I have been vindicated."

The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: "So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, 'Yes. We're going to pass a global warming bill,' I will be able to stand up and say, 'No, it's over. Get a life. You lost. I won,'" Inhofe said.

Now we have the German publication Der Spiegel, which is rapidly becoming the house organ for climate hysteria, weighing in again with the sad news that the earth does not have a fever so we really don't have to throw out the baby with the rising bath water.

In an article titled, "Climatologists Baffled By Global Warming Time-Out," author Gerald Traufetter leads off with the observation: "Climatologists are baffled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years." They better figure it out, Der Spiegel warns, because "billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations."

We are told in sad tones that "not much is happening with global warming at the moment" and that "it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year." But how can it be that the earth isn't following all those computer models? Is the earth goddess Gaia herself a climate change "denier"?

The article gloomily notes that a few weeks ago Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research pointed out that the earth had in fact only warmed 0.07 degree Celsius from 1999 to 2008 and not by the 0.2 degree Celsius predicted by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

An even more inconvenient truth, according to the British experts, is that when their figures are adjusted for two naturally occurring climate phenomena, El Nino and La Nina, the resulting temperature trend is reduced to 0.0 degree Celsius. No, that's not a typo.

As if that weren't enough, it seems hackers broke into the computer network run by the Hadley Climate Research Unit, removing 61 megabytes of e-mails and data.

While we don't condone theft, the hacked data and e-mails have spilled onto the Web and reveal something startling: The scientists at Hadley, one of the world's leading climate change study centers, aren't scientifically objective at all.

Indeed, in e-mails, they boast of twisting scientific data to suit their views and to "hide" the truth. At one point, a scientist actually gloats over the death of global warming skeptic John L. Daly, saying, "In an odd way, this is cheering news."

If true, this is massive scientific fraud.

To add to the warm-mongers' woes, patron saint Al Gore, the man who claimed to have invented the Internet, might also have claimed the discovery of Photoshop. Dr. Roy Spencer, of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, formerly with NASA, has taken a look at the pictures used to illustrate Gore's new book, "Our Choice: A Plan To Solve the Climate Crisis."

Gore Photoshopped NASA imagery of the earth for the fold-out cover photo, adding four hurricanes at once, including one spinning in the wrong direction next to Florida and, in a physical impossibility, one on the equator next to Peru. Somewhere in the process, the island of Cuba was deleted.

It is the warm-mongers who are spinning in the wrong direction. We win. You lose. Get a life.

A few observations:

Al Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet. Back in the 80s he called for the creation of an information superhighway, something that we got from DARPA (one of those evil government organizations).

Eight of the hottest years on record occurred during the last ten years.

NASA and NOAA have published data showing a warming trend for the last 130 years. The esteemed scientists at those organizations all agree that global warming is happening. Of course, there are times when it levels off or even drops back a little, but the trend is definitely up.

The North Pole is melting; scientists say that there will be a Northwest Passage during the summer in 10 to 20 years.

Glaciers are melting on all the continents. They're re-drawing the Italian-Swiss border because the glaciers are disappearing.

In the Northwestern US the bark beetles' reproductive cycle has sped up, and they're eating up the trees.

Steven Chu, Nobel-prize-winning physicist and secretary of the DOE, said recently of people who doubt global warming, "I'd like to know where they're getting their data."

Der Spiegel is hardly a scientific journal. It's a popular, tabloidy magazine that features a lot of nudity. Good popular science magazines like Scientific American and Nature generally publish articles that confirm global warming.

We just had a record-hot October here in Central Florida, Texas is suffering from drought just as predicted, and the fire season out west is now year-round instead of just during the summer. When I lived in Ohio from 1988 to 1992, we got snow and ice from October to May. Now they have clear, warm days in February.

At this point, we're all losing. Get a mental life.
Fang1944, you'll have to do better than simply repeating the same old dis-proven nonsense. Just a couple of gems:

Glaciers on all continents are not melting; some are retreating and some are advancing. Just as they always do.

Eight of the hottest years on record have not been in the last ten years. NASA corrected that flawed information two years ago.....Surprise! Five of the hottest years on record occurred before WWII.

Al Gore most certainly did claim to have invented the internet, his later spin notwithstanding.
This is what NASA currently says:

Global surface air temperatures rose three-quarters of a degree Celsius (almost one and a half degrees Fahrenheit) in the last century, but at twice that amount in the past 50 years. Eleven of the last 12 years (1995-2006) are the warmest since accurate recordkeeping began in 1850.

Just one of the proven gems.

And the Al Gore story is still a lie.
From the World Glacial Monitoring Service:
The average mass balance of the glaciers with available long-term observation series around the world continues to decrease, with tentative figures indicating a further thickness reduction of 1.3 and 0.7 metres water equivalent (m w.e.) during the hydrological years 2006 and 2007, respectively. The new data continues the global trend in accelerated ice loss over the past few decades and brings the cumulative average thickness loss of the reference glaciers since 1980 at almost 11.3 m w.e. (see Figures 1 and 2). All so far reported tentative mass balance values for the two observation periods are given in Table 3.

Climate Change: Ice Chunk the Size of Manhattan Splits from Canadian Glacier
There's another island the size of Manhattan, but this one is a newly broken ice sheath off the Arctic circle . The Markham Ice Shelf separated from Canada's Ellesmere Island last month, Bloomberg News reports . The split of the 4,500-year-old, 10-story-tall ice shelf, which borders Greenland, dismayed scientists concerned that global warming was the culprit. "It was a complete shock,'' Luke Copeland , director of the Laboratory for Cryospheric Research at the University of Ottawa, told the newswire. "What was really amazing is that we lose it all in such a short period of time, within just a few days.'' The news comes just a week after the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported near-record melting of sea ice in the Arctic. The Serson Ice Shelf is 60 percent smaller now that a combined 47 square miles (122 square kilometers) of ice have broken off, and the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf -- the largest of the remaining four -- also is disintegrating, Reuters notes .

And it goes on like this for several pages.
Good article Friar Tuck
I was listening to an audio clip the other day of Gore saying he created the internet LOL! Here is my interview with
The filmmaker Phelim McAleer of the documentary "Not Evil Just Wrong" I did a couple days ago. With the last 10 years of cooling already present The man made global warming myth is falling apart.

Al Gore never said he created the Internet. This is garbage as anyone can see at http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp

From Vint Cerf, sometimes called the father of the Internet:

Vint Cerf responded to MSNBC

From http://www.msnbc.com:80/news/249325.asp (which has apparently subsequently timed out). See also ``Revisionist Internet History.'' —jsq
Vint Cerf responded to MSNBC's questions about the Net's origins with this e-mail:
VP Gore was the first or surely among the first of the members of Congress to become a strong supporter of advanced networking while he served as Senator. As far back as 1986, he was holding hearings on this subject (supercomputing, fiber networks...) and asking about their promise and what could be done to realize them. Bob Kahn, with whom I worked to develop the Internet design in 1973, participated in several hearings held by then-Senator Gore and I recall that Bob introduced the term ``information infrastructure'' in one hearing in 1986. It was clear that as a Senator and now as Vice President, Gore has made it a point to be as well-informed as possible on technology and issues that surround it.

As Senator, VP Gore was highly supportive of the research community's efforts to explore new networking capabilities and to extend access to supercomputers by way of NSFNET and its successors, the High Performance Computing and Communication program (which included the National Research and Education Network initiative), and as Vice President, he has been very responsive to recommendations made, for example, by the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee that endorsed additional research funding for next generation fundamental research in software and related topics. If you look at the last 30-35 years of network development, you'll find many people who have made major contributions without which the Internet would not be the vibrant, growing and exciting thing it is today. The creation of a new information infrastructure requires the willing efforts of thousands if not millions of participants and we've seen leadership from many quarters, all of it needed, to move the Internet towards increased availability and utility around the world.

While it is not accurate to say that VP Gore invented Internet, he has played a powerful role in policy terms that has supported its continued growth and application, for which we should be thankful.

We're fortunate to have senior level members of Congress and the Administration who embrace new technology and have the vision to see how it can be put to work for national and global benefit.
Talk radio morons think if they repeat a lie often enough, their idiot listeners will believe it.

They're right of course.
For the scientific viewpoint on climate change, take a look at http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Of course, they're all crackpots at NASA. All they ever done is send men to the moon ... and revolutionize modern science and technology.
Inhofe isn't as much skeptic as he is stumpbroke moron Okie. There are turds smarter than James Inhofe.

(I hear the Kansas state motto is "Thank Gawd for Oklahoma".

Keeps them from the bottom rank.)
