Gina, I know you just posted about this, but please let me weigh in too. This is HUGE.
Now NASA is saying it could get colder for the next 30 years.
But I thought CO2 was causing climate forcing? That is, in spite of the influences of many climate-related variables, CO2 should win out, and keep pushing temperatures ever higher. But it didn't.
Forcing is the very essence of the Anthropogenic Global Warming argument. Atmospheric CO2 is rising at a steady rate. Why is it not forcing temperature change? Many scientists said CO2 would not force climate change, but they were ignored. Now we see they were right. If CO2 can't (or won't) cause temperature increase, then it's by definition not a very strong force. In fact CO2 levels seem UNRELATED to global temperature.
The 'forcing' effects of CO2 are being overwhelmed by normal variations in ocean currents and sunlight changes.
I call for a moratorium on ALL GLOBAL WARMING LAWS and POLICIES until we know what's going on.
-- JUNK ALL climate models. None are even remotely accurate.
-- No more Kyoto at all. Stop all efforts at compliance.
-- No more carbon credits
-- No more punishing individuals, corporations and countries for producing CO2
-- END the Farce of having the UN study climate change
-- Carefully review how scientists got things so badly wrong, including:
1. Sea level has not changed measurably since the scare began. Why was this ignored?
2. Surface temperature data has been collected from little weather stations which are obviously inaccurate. Almost all of them are situated in places that are warming up because of human activity. Why was this ignored?
3. Polar ice caps have been expanding and contracting normally. Why was this portrayed as a catastrophe?
4. Polar bears are not endangered, and they never were. Why was this not accurately reported?
5. The effect of sunlight was repeatedly dismissed by climate modelers. They claimed the forcing effects of CO2 were more important than sunlight changes. Almost all the heat in the earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. Why was sunlight ignored?
6. The effect of high-level clouds was repeatedly dismissed by climate
modelers. They claimed the forcing effects of CO2 were more important
than high-level cloud. However, scientists have observed that if high-level clouds evaporate when the earth heats, then the heat escapes into space. In other words, the planet self-regulates it's temperature like a thermostat. Why was the moderating effect of high-level cloud evaporation ignored?
7. Anyone who expressed doubts about global warming was dismissed, called a denier, crazy, refused research funding, publicly shouted down, and sometimes forcibly removed from research meetings. Some were prosecuted under the law. Why was disagreement suppressed?
CONCLUSIONS
-- We must continue research funding for global weather and climate change.
-- We must stop wasting time on controlling CO2 emissions, and we must stop it immediately.
-- We need to go back to the basics of environmentalism. This includes keeping controls on air and water pollution and maintaining habitats for threatened species. We must use DDT in large quantities to kill malarial mosquitoes. We must use as much nuclear power as possible, and make electricity cheap and plentiful.
-- We should increase clean-coal electrical generation, and limit petroleum-fired electrification. We are locked in conflict with several petroleum-producing countries, and it is best to reduce our use of petroleum.
Pro Patria, and may we never let ourselves be railroaded by such fools ever again.
You know that the Global Warming hysteria will continue. The political agenda promises so many rewards to the Communists that they will never admit the hoax.
We will continue to pay for this fraud with our money, our freedoms, and our lives.
