Desperately Green

As more and more people figure out that the Earth is cooling, the Greens grow more and more desperate to keep the global warming hoax going. They have a lot invested in this Big Lie and some of it comes in the form of proposed carbon taxes or cap-and-trade schemes, along with millions invested in ethanol production and so-called “sustainable” energy like solar and wind.

The fact that none of these ventures can make any money without a government subsidy—your taxes—should tell you something about how viable or sensible they are.The latest scam making the rounds among a hardy band of “skeptics” and “deniers”, two descriptions of real scientists, is the publication in “Nature” magazine of a study purporting that Antarctica is getting warmer. Most of the mainstream, allegedly science-based magazines have long ago sold their souls to the global warming mob. Anything you read in “National Geographic” or see on their television channel when it comes to climate is just balderdash.So “Nature” comes out with an article by a team led by Professor Eric Steig that Antarctica is warming and guess what? It turns out to be based on those same tired old computer models that have been manipulating data for years to spit out “global warming” predictions and claims. The U.S. Weather Service has some of the best computers available for predictions and it cannot tell you what the weather will really be next week. At best, it can predict weather about three, maybe four, days out. And even then you better bring an umbrella or wear your boots. All the claims of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have been based on these utterly corrupt computer models and real scientists have been merrily tearing them apart for years.The problem is that you have to attend an event like the upcoming Heartland Institute Conference on Climate Change to get the real facts and, even though they were presented by some of the leading climatologists and meteorologists in the world last year, the media was around only to heap scorn on the event. Without getting too deep into the weeds, the study published in “Nature” claimed to have new evidence produced by a computer model that combined satellite data with temperature readings from surface weather stations. The problem is that Antarctica has very few surface weather stations so the computer model, apparently using intuition, decided what surface stations would be reporting if there were any. The bottom line is that all the satellite data for that past 30 years has reported that Antarctica is getting colder with the exception of a small part of the continent known as the Antarctica Peninsula. Antarctica is not melting. Last year’s sea-ice cover was thirty percent above average. I can guarantee you that we shall see more of these spurious studies as it become abundantly clear to people all over the globe that things are cooling off, not warming up. At which point, some folks may want to drag Al Gore from his over-heated mansion and run him out of town.
