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.

CO2 Dangerous Heat Trap

March 1910 (Before Global Warming) 7.94°F Above the 1901-2000 Average in the USA

March 2014 (After Global Warming)  -0.99°F Below the 1901-2000 Average in the USA

Yup, dat CO2 ben trappin’ dat heat from long ago so much so that it is colder now than it was then. How dat happen?


Somebody get the Ministry of Truth to fix dat data. It tellin da wrong story!

Can’t have dat data destroyin’ dogma!

The Rate of Wamring

Helen Berry, associate dean in the faculty of health at the University of Canberra, said while the Earth has been warmer and colder at different points in the planet's history, the rate of change has never been as fast as it is today. ''What is remarkable, and alarming, is the speed of the change since the 1970s, when we started burning a lot of fossil fuels in a massive way,'' she said. ''We can't possibly evolve to match this rate [of warming] and, unless we get control of it, it will mean our extinction eventually.''


Is bald a hair color? Then, I guess, nada can be a rate of increase.

The fastest ‘rate of change’ from the 1970s to the 1990s has morphed into a ‘zero’ rate of change since the turn of the century. Can we release our collective anxiety now? It is tough for a rate of change for anything to be a cause of anything when the rate is zero.

The sky has stopped falling although some who need something to be alarmed about prefer to ignore(deny) the evidence. Mother Nature has mocked the alarm. This should be cause for elation but alarmists need something to be alarmed about. It is in their nature. They are beginning to look very silly as they scurry around looking for man made disaster and come up empty.

More and more of the populace are not convinced of the urgency of the ‘greatest problem mankind has ever faced’. Climate changes. When hasn’t that been the case? There is nothing going on with the climate that hasn’t happened at some point in the past. CO2 has been at much higher levels for much of the last 570 million years. And yet here we are. No runaway global warming to kill us off. To paraphrase George Carlin’s more colorful language “the planet is fine. It is the people who are nuts.’

We have met POGO and he is not us.

Reason for Cold Winter in the US

So this is why it was so damn cold in the US this winter(2013-2014). There wasn’t enough CO2 around to trap the heat except in California.


IPCC Credibility Compromised - Again

The IPCC AR5 WGII Summary for PolicyMakers (SPM) is more alarmist than the underlying AR5 WGII science report upon which it is based.

When this news gets out can the IPCC still address the media with a straight face? They have been caught making a politically doctored conclusion from data that don’t support it.

Their credibility before the public is now in tatters and anything they say can be discounted as self serving alarmist gobbledegook.


The underlying science report says: research does not conclude that armed conflict is connected to global warming.

The SPM says: warming will increase risks of armed conflict

Self serving politics in action. This is but one example of the IPCC leading with alarm that is not justified by their own findings. Why do they go to the trouble of compiling a report if they are simply going to ignore it in favor of a pre-determined conclusion?

Gut feel is not a valid guide to reality.




Arrest the Deniers

“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.” -- Voltaire

How dare they question the gods of IPCC? Are they calling  Al Gore, John Kerry and BO liars?



Arrest these heretics! Lock ‘em up for blasphemy and throw away the key. We don’t want no dissent from our worldview here.

"The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, scepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin." -- Thomas H. Huxley

Good thing Huxley is dead or we would have to lock him up too!

When you have no rational arguments for your cause advocate the policies of Dear Leader. Authoritarians are all the same. If you don’t agree with them they will pull a gun on you. They want compliance. Give it willingly(play along) or they will use coercion to generate complicity.

"The growth of knowledge depends entirely on disagreement" -- Karl Popper




Dueling reports: Team of international scientists release global warming report countering UN — ‘The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) reports are hefty – the first volume in the Climate Change Reconsidered series was 850 pages long, and the latest volume is more than 1,000 pages…NIPCC reports are produced by scores of scientists from around the world (some 20 countries so far), cite thousands of peer-reviewed studies, and are themselves peer-reviewed.’



UN special climate envoy Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland declared “it’s completely immoral, even, to question” the UN’s alleged global warming “consensus,” according to a May 10, 2007 article. Sounds scientific, doesn’t it?

Research by Australian climate data analyst John McLean revealed that the IPCC’s peer-review process for the Summary for Policymakers leaves much to be desired. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) & (LINK)

Andrei Kapitsa, a Russian geographer and Antarctic ice core researcher: “The Kyoto theorists have put the cart before the horse. It is global warming that triggers higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, not the other way round…A large number of critical documents submitted at the 1995 U.N. conference in Madrid vanished without a trace. As a result, the discussion was one-sided and heavily biased, and the U.N. declared global warming to be a scientific fact.”


Meanwhile, while alarmists are busy sounding the alarm, Mother Nature stopped raising the global mean temperature (GMT) over 15 years ago even as CO2 has continued to increase unabated in the atmosphere. That creates a disconnect between theory and reality. And Mother Nature is never wrong. Seems like Mother Nature is behaving like a man made global warming denier. Better throw her in jail.


'Nothing is more terrible than ignorance in action' -- Goethe

Was he talking about the IPCC and other alarmists?

Correct CAGW Model

FInally, we have a correct model for man made global warming (CAGW).

CAGW is a dead horse theory.

The Dakota native Americans have a philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation …

“When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.”

The “more advanced” Government based philosophy is to perform one or more of the following actions;
- Buying a stronger whip.
- Changing riders.
- Appointing a committee to study the horse. Better yet, bring in an army of consultants to over study the horse.
- Say things like, “This is the way we have always ridden this horse.”
- Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
- Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
- Ride the dead horse “outside the box.”
- Compare the state of dead horses in today’s environment.
- Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
- Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
- Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse’s performance.
- Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s performance.
- Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line than do some other horses.
- Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
- Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
- Declare that “This horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.”
- Form a charity so that others can pay for the dead horse.
- Get the horse a Web site.

Science Says!


Defenders of the CAGW hypothesis have regularly tried to claim the realm of Science as their own as they try to convince the world’s leaders of the urgency of the climate change problem.
Let us borrow the chutzpah and a modified version of the famous Family Feud phrase from the TV program of the same name and see what the Science Says!

CAGW says: and the global climate models predict that temperatures will rise catastrophically as CO2 rises and therefore humans need to leave fossil fuel based energy sources for renewable energy sources.

Science Says!: Reality is not cooperating with this theory as temperatures have not continued to rise as CO2 emissions have. This contradicts the theory which now must be modified or abandoned.

CAGW says: that severe weather will increase as emissions of CO2 continue to increase. Al Gore has been trying to blame every instance of bad weather over the recent past on human addiction to fossil fuel use and the human CO2 additions to the atmosphere which have continued to increase.

Science Says!: it isn't so. The trend in severe weather over the last 30 years is clearly on the decrease. Can we conclude the additional CO2 in the atmosphere leads to fewer instances of bad weather? The US has not been hit by a major hurricane(cat 3,4,5) in the last 8 years - the longest period of absence on record. This does not sound like an increase does it?

Science Says!: CO2 has other beneficial effects. Plants love the stuff and show their gratitude by slipping us a continuous supply of oxygen of which we have become rather fond. It is an amiable symbiotic relationship which should not be interrupted but encouraged.

The two major and press popular tenets of the CAGW theory have been disproven. And that is all we need to discount the CAGW theory as bunkum.

In the face of this evidence to continue to believe that humans are in control of the climate system of our planet is to be enveloped in delusion. The elite believers in human depravity, that humans must be destroying the planet because that is what we do are selling snake oil - one invented for the purpose.

And they won’t stop. There is money to be made and power to be gained in scaremongering. If they can invent one for the purpose they can invent another one for the purpose.

To paraphrase Arnold S. - they’ll be back!
