The edifice of manmade global-warming alarmism continues to crumble in the wake of “Climategate,” which stems from the email hacking of a server used by the world’s key global-warming proponents at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit in the U.K.
The emails show a completely dysfunctional research environment antithetical to the scientific method, with frank discussions on data fixing and the sidelining of rivals in the scientific community through the perversion of the peer-review process.
The sheer volume of emails on how to shake down oil companies puts these “scientists” in the same league as Somali pirates throwing grappling hooks over another passing oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden.
The CRU director has stepped aside, if only temporarily, and the CRU has reversed itself and will release data it has for years fought to keep from public scrutiny. And the original raw climate data? It was all thrown out and only massaged data remains. How convenient.
The wider facts are stark: There has been no global warming since 1998, contrary to all the CRU’s once-vaunted climate models, and probably due to the cyclical, near-cessation in sunspot activity; the ocean level has not risen; there has been no substantial polar ice melting; there has been no upswing in tropical storms, contrary to dire predictions; and polar bear populations are healthy, as testified by our own Inuit.
Anthropogenic global warming is a hoax and possibly a fraud perpetrated by a segment of scientists and environmentalists eager for funding and anxious to surreptitiously advance a leftist agenda. Most Western politicians have gone along for the ride because the global warming hysteria allows them to carry out the biggest tax and liberty grab in world history, all in the name of “saving” a planet that gets along fine with or without us.
Thankfully more people are catching on: in Australia, the opposition Liberal party turfed its warm-monger leader Malcolm Turnbull for the feisty climate skeptic Tony Abbott, who says he’s ready to fight the next election on the issue.
And last night, the Australian Senate kiboshed for the second time Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s centrepiece bill proposing to set up an elaborate and onerous carbon-trading scheme in the country — a scheme he’d hoped to have lined up before the Copenhagen global warming talks between world leaders next week. It sets the stage for Rudd’s defeat in a general election next year.
Ice ages come and go. I would like to toss up for discussion ” What was it like prior to the beginng of the last Ice Age?” We know a few volcanoes can produce as much as a century of man made atmospheric pollutants. However it is nice to clean up your own doorstep and breath clean air. But when you look at Stewart B.C. and see the old adits 1000 ft.on the mountain, where the old timers picked the gold out of hill– using ladders from the glacier and now you can barely see it at the top of the mountain. Yes I think the Ice will return. But please someone tell me-” what it was like prior to the beginng of last Ice Age? ” Do you think we can stop the plates moving and the volcanoes erupting ? Dream on.
