The second act of the end

Global Warming is dead, that’s been clear for a while now. However there’s still been a question about the long term viability of climate change. As more and more journalists decide it’s safe to start voicing serious questions about the validity of climate change claims, we’ll see more and more scientists withdrawing their associations with ‘the climate change consensus’. Scientists are a much more timid group than journalists, so this will take a while, but isn’t going anywhere.
Until now, anyone who questioned the credibility of the IPCC was labelled as a climate skeptic, or worse. But many climate scientists now sense a sinking ship, and they’re bailing out.

Global Warming is Bullshit Part 10403

That wacky Al Gore is at it again, apparently the ice in the Arctic is going to vanish in as little as five years.
Only the scientist who Gore quoted as saying this says that’s not true:

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

Oh Al Gore, will you ever catch a break? Oh wait, he’s made at least $100 million since leaving office (good for him, I liked his movie).

Here’s a really good article on the background and fallout from the recent (illegal) release of previously confidential global warming emails and data. Who could have predicted that dogmatic fraud might be behind predicting the weather?
Interesting how Steve McIntyre has been trying to get some of this information for years and was blocked. Then some lovely hacker releases it upon the world.

One of the more recent trends in the “science” of Global Warming has been to extrapolate historical temperatures through tree growth ring sizes. Besides being a load of crap to begin with (as there are several other factors besides temperature that contribute to plant growth), it has now come out that these “scientists” have been cherry picking which tree cores to use out of larger sample sizes (using only 12 out of 252 in one case).

Check out this interesting bit over at New Scientist:
THE Eocene ran from 56 million to 34 million years ago. Geological evidence from the early and middle part of this period offers troubling news: the average temperature in the tropics at this time could have been as high as 40°C while the poles were at temperatures of 15 or 20°C. None of our climate models accounts for how this “Eocene hothouse” might have arisen

Global Warming on Pause

Well it looks as though the Polar Bears might not all die, and Ted turner can let his crack anti-cannibal security team relax for a while. The world will not boil, not this year at least.

According to NOAA Southern hemisphere sea ice (yes I know, no Polar bears there) is at its highest recorded level since the beginning of recordings in 1979. And fun new models are starting to come out to explain why temperature isn’t rising like the alarmists and fund raisers would have you believe.

So hopefully the pause in the destruction of the Earth is permanent right? Not according to a study published in Nature last week. According to that we’re all still headed to mass extinctions, but the Earth is just taking a break.

Ted Turner Predicts Cannibalism from Global Warming

Ted Turner is a fun guy. I hadn’t thought much about cannibalism in recent years, and then I saw ‘Animal Cannibals’ and the original ‘Dawn of the Dead’ and re-experienced the shock and horror of species on species snacking. According to Mr. Turner, if we don’t do something about this durned environment problem, we’ll end up eating each other.

If steps aren’t taken to stem global warming, “We’ll be eight degrees hotter in 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow,” Turner said during a wide-ranging, hour-long interview with PBS’s Charlie Rose that aired Tuesday.

“Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals,” said Turner, 69. “Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state — like Somalia or Sudan — and living conditions will be intolerable.”

Ted goes on to say that we have global warming because there are too many people. And all of these excess people use too much stuff. Durned people and their stinking stuff. If half the world ate the other half, would that help things? Ted suggests just having less babies to avoid cannibalism, which is admittedly less extreme.

On a serious note, I would suggest that Ted Turner probably uses a lot more ‘stuff’ then most of those extra people he’s complaining about.
