It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Recent Observations Incompatible with a Man Made Warming World

























The Blow Delivered by Snow




December 2018


A BLOW to climate alarmism has been delivered by SNOW.




This should not be happening in a warming world where the higher latitudes are supposed to be undergoing a warming trend under the steady rise of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.




In addition to the extensive snow cover cold is showing up as a complement. Are we surprised?




South Korea has gotten a dose of both.




Following the cue/theme of a colder North glaciers are growing




Iowa has seen record snowfall.




As has Alberta




It was cold everywhere in the US




Even the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula have been visited by the white stuff. Take a look at Tabuk.




And Hudson Bay is experiencing a lot of ice for the end of November




Perhaps the climate scare should be shifted from global warming back to global cooling as it was in the 1970s. Maybe, just maybe, the climate is cyclical and has NOTHING whatever to do with the amount of carbon dioxide in the air which has been on a steady increase.

COP24 Tuesday, December 4, 2018


COP24 will take place from 3-14 December 2018, in Katowice, Poland



As we approach COP24 let us review where we are.



Only sixteen countries out of the 197 that have signed the Paris Agreement have defined national climate action plan ambitious enough to meet their pledges, according to a policy brief released on Monday. The 16 countries are: Algeria, Canada, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Japan, FYR Macedonia, Malaysia, Montenegro, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Samoa, Singapore and Tonga. --EurActiv, 29 October 2018




Parisians are now rioting against the Paris climate accords - fuel taxes are not popular with the French



SHOWDOWN LOOMS OVER $100 BILLION PLEDGE AT UN CLIMATE CONFERENCE - takers want to take from the makers as a matter of right. Good luck with that.




SKEPTIC CLIMATE SCIENTISTS GATHER FOR CONFERENCE IN GERMANY BEFORE U.N. MEETING - a conference where CO2, a gas of life,  is exonerated and not vilified.


Perhaps the action of Brazil will restore some sanity to these proceedings and help to end them as the costs continue to exceed the benefits except for those officials dependent upon the COPs.

COP24 has begun - Dec. 3, 2018 and with it the hypocrisy continues...and the backlash begins..









At COP24 at the last minute an historic agreement to meet next year and party on will be reached to mutual back-patting. And the climate will continue to change as it always has because it is cyclical.

Polar Bears Refuse to Die









Perhaps this is why. Mother Nature ignores the New York Times.



Perhaps it is getting colder now and NOT warmer.

















Does this make sense?

Mental Health and Climate Change


If the prospect of human caused climate change is bad for your mental health should we be surprised that climate alarmism also causes people mental distress?

People are bombarded with propaganda telling them (1) humans are destroying the world through global warming, (2) nearly everybody is to blame through selfish utilization of natural resources, and (3) there is little hope of saving the world from imminent climate catastrophe. Of course this messaging will exacerbate mental health strains for many people.”

Climate change is becoming big business for psychologists.

What if there is nothing to be alarmed about?

What if it is really all about money and prestige? And the annual trip to far away places.

Are we being scammed because they can?

Are they chuckling at our expense?

Will someone please study the impacts of false beliefs on the mental health of people?

Will someone please study the impacts of being scammed on the mental health of people?

Will someone please study the impacts of  scamming on the mental health of the scammers?

From the article on climate alarmism:

“The best way to alleviate mental health strains tied to global warming is to report truthfully on climate science rather than nefariously exaggerate, embellish, and fear-monger about the earth’s climate future.”

Good advice.

REFERENCES:









Meanwhile a primary solution advanced to alleviate global warming causes its own health problems.




Hysterics Hype Hyperbolic Hysteria


Dueling opinions since the release of the UN IPCC’s latest (SR1.5) apocalyptic report.


Below is a sample of the hysterical cries from those who promote man made climate alarmism from the human emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels..












But..And yet... there are those who disagree - not only pundits and scientists but the data they collect. (rely on)




Ben Pile: The UN IPCC 'is driven by a political agenda, not a scientific one...The IPCC was asked to consider the 1.5°C target, not because a new scientific understanding demanded it, but because of the need for a new dose of urgency.'
'In 2014, the summary for policymakers warned that climate change can increase the risks of conflict and migration. But this was totally unsupported by the technical parts of the document.'
"Every IPCC report has been the ‘final call’. Every UNFCCC meeting has been the ‘last chance’. Countless climate deadlines have passed but arctic ice still exists. The polar bears still exist. And most frustratingly of all for these environmentalists, the world’s human population is doing better than ever before. It is not the IPCC’s science that appeals to these vapid hacks – it is the cover it provides for their profoundly undemocratic impulses."










“You could see this coming, you could see the whole pattern coming,” Bastardi said. “We talked to Sean on the 16th of September, I said I’ll be seeing you again in October probably because of a big Gulf storm.” Bastardi added, “It’s not because of your SUV, this is what nature is capable of doing, and you could see this pattern setting up pretty far in advance.”
