'Global warming': 'Scientists call this the biggest threat of all. Extreme weather, increased droughts, redistribution of diseases, submerged low-lying areas ... future generations might live on a very nasty planet.'
We already live on a very nasty planet. An acquaintance with our planet’s weather history should convince anyone of that. In addition to extreme weather earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, pestilence and disease can be added to the list of phenomena that make our world somewhat inhospitable. Our children and grandchildren will know nothing different. Contrary to belief of those in Wonderland we do not control any of it. But our technology will continue to develop to help us adapt to the worst of these natural phenomena.
And which scientists are we talking about? The ones who continually get their predictions wrong? We should be so lucky as to experience ‘end times’ for these WAGs. Fear mongering that continually fails to manifest is like having our allowance promised week after week without delivery. Soon we ignore the liar and go on about the business of living a normal life.
His credibility and integrity are destroyed in our eyes and his agenda becomes transparent if the scare tactics continue. Science itself takes a hit and is viewed with suspicion as new pronouncements are played before the public. Take, for example, the climate alarmist scientists....please!!
Their predictions and warnings are notable for their failure to make an appearance in the climate drama running in their own minds. The stage is barren waiting for the entrance of Miss Calamity.
The sea ice in the Arctic will completely disappear in summer 2013. One WAG was made by a SIerra Club of Canada scientist a scant 6 months before the summer minimum and he got it wrong. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
As CO2 has increased unabated in our atmosphere temperatures were supposed to continue to rise not take a sabbatical from their upward movement for 17 years. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
In a warming world Antarctic sea ice is supposed to decrease not set records for growth every other day. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
When the experts at NOAA predict an active hurricane season in the Atlantic basin in 2013 it would be nice to have some confidence that they know whereof they speak. When we get but two hurricanes that disturb some fish before they fade away please excuse us if we ignore their best guesses next season. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
When they run their global climate models on the latest and greatest computers in the world should we not expect some accuracy for our money? But what we get is a mismatch between their Wonderland world of simulation and Mother Nature from the vast majority of scenarios. The models failed to negotiate the curve that Mother Nature inserted in the runway. The models fell off the catwalk and lay in tears at the tears in their computer code. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
Sea level is supposed to be rising catastrophically due to the melting of the ice caps that isn’t happening. We recently learn that the Antarctic continent has been cooling for the last 35 years and that Greenland has been cooling for 70 years. Not a lot of melting going on in the polar regions. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
Climate alarmist scientists are painting a picture of the world and none of their portrait resembles reality. They want us to be afraid of a world of natural variability as if it is something new and leading toward an apocalypse. And yet their ability to foretell any of it is wanton. But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
They claim we are living in a dangerously warming world and Mother Nature dumps snow in Cairo, Amman, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Australia in their summer. In a warming world snow was supposed to become ‘a thing of the past’ as CO2 continues to increase unabated in the atmosphere. In December 2012 the snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere was at a record high.But they know what the world’s climate will look like in 2100 if we don’t drastically cut our emissions of CO2. Uh huh. Cue Donna Summer.
They claim the science is settled, there is a consensus and the debate is over. But Mother Nature doesn’t agree and without her on your side you are lost. Mother Nature is giving the finger to the consensus and demonstrating they are wrong. It would be courteous for them to admit their errors and acknowledge that Mother Nature is never wrong. If you can’t model her you don’t know her.
Is good character among climate alarmist scientists a thing of the past like the snow in their Wonderland?
Continued denial by the climate alarmist scientists is delusional. The public has already caught on to the ruse. Climate alarmists lament the decreased coverage of the issue in the mainstream media. More scientists who don’t share the calamitous view of climate change being promoted by a self interested few are speaking out.
Who loves a climate crisis or any other crisis of man made global proportions for that matter?
Let us introduce the players.
Climate scientists receive money for their research. If climate change is determined to be of natural causes the research funding dries up. Politicians won’t fund a non-problem.
The MSM love a scare story. It drives up viewership and that translates into increased advertising revenues.
Politicians love to ride to the rescue and consolidate more power in their hands as they implement policies to alleviate a problem. They can throw contracts and other pecuniary bones at their favorite constituents (ones who fund their election campaigns) which can only help further their public life ambitions.
These guys are obvious beneficiaries of any kind of crisis. But there are a couple of other players that can also benefit from a perceived crisis - real or not. Ideologues and competitors.
Club of Rome: "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose."
People who want to wrest control over resources and the means of production can use a perceived crisis - real or not - as a pathway to the implementation of their agenda. And you thought Pinky and the Brain were cartoon characters. Nope, they exist in the real world and really do want to take over the planet.
Competitors can also seize the opportunity to denigrate the competition and appear to be good guys with the public interest at heart all the while benefiting from the destruction of their rivals. Think coal and natural gas. If coal is demonized in the public mind - real demon or not - natural gas benefits by contributing to those who oppose coal. With coal out of the way demand will move to natural gas. Coal companies get poorer and natural gas companies get richer.
Let us pretend the End Times are upon us even though we know it isn’t true. There are beneficiaries to maintaining that scare.
But people are not that dumb. We have learned to suspect self interest in advocacy. Until there is a separation of State and Economy as we have with State and Religion there will always be those who will use the government as a personal thug to further their own aims be they economic gain or political power. Do we want our government to have the powers of a thug or be limited to the role of a referee in economic affairs? Right now we have a thug.
Contrary to popular belief among climate alarmists Mother Nature remains the Master Chef when it comes to cooking up extreme recipes for the climate we face on a daily basis and CO2 is not an ingredient that she uses for her tasteless concoctions.
CO2 is an ingredient that is integral in trace amounts to the recipe of life on Earth.
CO2 is green. CO2 has been exhaled during the creation of this post. No living thing was harmed. Some even liked it.
