Today, there are just so many juicy stories appearing that I haven’t a hope of covering them (And I don’t have time as I’ve got other fish to fry**).
They are all individually worth reading, but when I put them all together it definitely looks like the Global Warming Racket – which has been showing signs of beginning to crack – is beginning to fall.
I’ve often talked about a “feeding frenzy” of the sharks in the press … I won’t say anything more … except that if it happens, the global warming racketeers now deserve everything they get.

Tony Heller: Hayhoe Accused Of Fraud

https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2015/09/29/hayhoe-accused-of-fraud/
Tony Heller once again calls out Katharine Hayhoe for outright lies.
According to Scientific American about the Texas floods earlier this year:
In a Facebook post Sunday, high-profile climate researcher Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech University’s Climate Science Center, stated that “climate change will affect us in the ways we’re already vulnerable to climate and weather today, and Texas is no exception.”
While extreme weather events like droughts and floods occur naturally in Texas, precipitation in the state is becoming more variable, making droughts more potent and increasing the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding, Hayhoe said.
“Science does not say that climate change is CAUSING the extreme rain and drought we’re seeing across the U.S. today, and in recent years,” she said. “Just like steroids make a baseball player stronger, climate change EXACERBATES many of our weather extremes, making many of them, on average, worse than they would have been naturally.”

They’re out to get me – nutty cambridge professor loses case

A Cambridge professor who claimed that assassins may have murdered three British scientists investigating the impact of global warming has had a complaint against The Times dismissed by the press regulator. Peter Wadhams said in an interview that he feared he might also have been targeted himself. When his comments were published byThe Times, the academic complained that he had been misquoted and that the newspaper had breached a duty of confidentiality towards him. An investigation by the Independent Press Standards Organisation has found that Professor Wadhams did make the claims reported and has cleared the newspaper of breaching the editors’ code of practice. –David Brown, The Times, 28 September 2015
Peter Wadhams is something of a favourite at [Bishop Hill], his researches into the paranormal, his physics-free sea-ice predictions and his concerns about assassination having provided readers with much entertainment over the years. The last of these claims led to an official complaint to the Press Regulator, but it seems that Prof Wadhams’ complaint has been no more successful than his doom-laden predictions about the Arctic. Prof Wadhams is an advisor to Pope Francis. –Andrew Montford, Bishop Hill, 28 September 2015

Delingpole: the Great diesel scandal

Why did no one speak out against this idiocy? Well, of course, a few did — people such as former chancellor Nigel Lawson, the Tory MP Peter Lilley, and journalists Christopher Booker and Richard North. But for years these sceptical voices have been drowned out by the yells of hypocritical politicians, greedy corporations, green zealots and a gullible public that ‘something must be done’ to deal with the supposed menace of man-made carbon dioxide. The great dash for diesel was a huge, expensive con inflicted on us by people who should have known better — and indeed did know better — but were so dazzled by the climate change scare that they could not see the bigger picture. It isn’t the first time this has happened, and it won’t be the last. –James Delingpole, The Great Diesel Scandal, Daily Mail, 9 August 2014

Bishop Hill: RICO letter disappears

Steve Milloy notes that the letter by Shukla et al calling for sceptics to be had up on racketeering charges has suddenly disappeared from the website where it was hosted.
You can imagine the horror on the signatories’ faces when they realised that some very determined people were about to take a close interest in their financial arrangements and those of their colleagues at IGES. I’m not sure taking the letter down is going to help much though.
 

Heller: (yet another) Mindblowing Fraud In Victoria

Wilsons Promonotory is the southernmost point in Victoria. Satellites show that there has been no warming there since the start of records in 1978.

As of 2012, GISS showed no warming since the start of records in 1880.
But since 2012, Gavin and Tom (who lead one of the groups governments use to make policy) have added a spectacular hockey stick of post 1978 (satellite era) warming.

 

Bishop Hill: The Sharks

From Bishop Hill:-
Yes folks, we may have reached peak climate drivel, with the news that we are being saved from impending climate disaster by the heroic actions of a hardy bunch of…sharks.

Turtle-eating sharks help slow global warming, scientist says
Sharks help to reduce global warming by eating sea turtles and other creatures that consume carbon-rich sea grasses, an Australian scientist said on Tuesday.

Sometimes there are no words adequate to describe the silliness of the climate change researcher.

Bishop Hill: The Sin: £6bn on climate is mad

**Finally today I worked out the etymology of “Church”. It might not sound much, but it took over a decade to find it. And the deeper significance is very profound as it is akin to saying “I have found the meaning of the holy grail”.
