Most public scares tend to come to public attention amid a mass of publicity but die in obscurity. And this is how politicians like their scares, they like to take the credit of ordering anti-viral drugs when there’s a flu epidemic, they like to take the credit of a massive publicity program for the “millennium bug”, but they do not ever want to have any scrutiny after the event when the public would find out that none of their action was necessary (but to be fair, the public are as much to blame but the politicians who take the credit should also take the blame).

But global warming is different.

The politicians gullibly passed laws to force themselves to act on this scare. Now as the scare falls apart and the politicians know the public will not stomach the massive cost of these harmful policies, those making money from these policies will not let it die quietly:
Dutch government ordered to cut carbon emissions in landmark ruling
This is really really good news for sceptics like. Because if this scam had been allowed to die a natural death, we sceptics could have been sitting around for as much as a decade without government ever admitting we were right whilst we kept paying money to the wind scamsters.

But, apparently they are just too greedy for their own good.

Instead of just letting this scam die its natural death – they want to bring to a head with legal action. BRING IT ON!!  This now means governments rather than being “passive sceptics” gently easing themselves out of their stupid commitments to commit economic suicide, will now have no choice but to join us and become “active sceptics”.
And unless we suddenly see a “road to Damascus” conversion by the environmentalists academics who run climate “science”, the only way for them to stop their economically suicidal policies and electoral suicide, is to pass the blame to someone else and start criminal prosecutions against those who created the scam.

They were just too greedy!

OSLO, June 23 (Reuters) – A fall in the sun’s heat output to levels last felt 300 years ago would slow temperature rises in the eastern United States and Europe,

This just shows we sceptics were right. It was the sun what done it and not CO2. We in Scotland are having the coldest June in 40 years and this just proves that the alarmists are sun spot deniers.
Sorry for the sarcasm! I saw the Guardian article Weak sun could offset some global warming in Europe and US – study and couldn’t help poking fun at them, both for the way they report global warming, and the way they no doubt think we sceptics will jump on the sun spot bandwagon and start yapping on about impending doom from sunspots in the same way as they go on constantly about CO2.
However, even the Guardian are printing:

the sun’s cooling effect would only reduce … temperature … in northern Europe and the eastern US by 0.4-0.8C.

As that is very similar to my estimated impact of CO2 (less than 1C), we should be thankful that we’ve got some man-made warming!!
 

I heard about the Greek bail out and as I wrote in “Just as Earthquakes are inevitable so is Greece’s exit from the Euro” it’s pretty naff as I see absolutely no sign of the necessary transfer of money into Greece from Germany.
And like any debtor – giving them more debt will only make the problem worse, so that when they next come to repay – it will be even harder. The only way out of this mess if Greece is to stay in the Euro is to start making regular transfer payments from rich to poor countries. I don’t believe that will happen, because Greece will not be the last country needing this support and Germans are hardly known for their altruism to other nationalities.
So, the big question is when?
It is going to happen sometime – that’s guaranteed. And it’s certainly soon enough for me to feel that I’d like an article predicting it so I can write “I predicted it”.
And if I were in Greece, I’d have most of my money in dollars or pounds or something I could convert back after the inevitable currency shambles like gold. And it’s not just Greece. I don’t know about other states, but if Spain is anything like Greece, I’d be starting to move my money out of the banks (let’s be frank – I’d been predicting a UK banking crisis – but like so many other people I didn’t actually spot it coming and move my money till much too late!)
Two scenarios look likely

1. Greeks take one look at the “deal” and tell their PM where to go.
2. The deal gets signed, and Greece will be in a bigger mess when the next loan needs repaying. So when is that?

It looks this Greek Eurocrisis occurs almost every summer. That suggests the next crisis will be 2016. And it could be much earlier. Indeed, it will be very very interesting in 2016 because it will be just before the UK votes on EU membership (and who says other Europeans want us to stay!!).
Somehow I think this crisis is coming to a head before the UK votes next year!

Addendum

Just realised that this is a very similar time-scale to the global warming scam. One is denying the reality of economics the other the reality of climate. Both are kept going by massive amounts of belief that it must be kept going. And both will sooner or later come crashing down. But when? And which will be first? I’m going to have to think about that one!

Tony Heller at RealScience has another good article: Today’s Featured Climate Criminals – The Guardian. Reading the comment by Gail Combs: “Of course they are also losing paying customers by the droves” backed up with this link:  Guardian CEO: my newspaper can’t survive in the UK (Ain’t Karma wonderful.)“, I wondered when we would finally see the demise of this insufferable paper.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem anywhere near soon enough  – and guess why!!!  they made huge amounts of money from their automobile business!!

Talk of hypocrisy! They are telling other people to divest from “fossil fuels”. But that’s easy to say when you are living off the back of fossil fuel earnings as they are. If they had any integrity they would donate every single penny they made from Autotrader to the poor in the third world who suffered from their non-science such as those who suffered from rising food prices during the bio-fuel scam.

But it appears the Guardian are devoid of morals. Here is the piece from the former Guardian sportswriter explaining why the Guardian can keep pushing the evils of car use for so long … because of their automobile business: Continue reading →

I woke up to hear a really crazy “doctor” on the radio this morning (who else but the Biased Broadcasting Company). He must have been dipping into the medicine cabinet as I’ve not heard anyone so delusional for quite some time (but I stopped listening to the BBC – so that might explain it!). After stating as a fact that temperatures were rising and would be 4C by the middle of the century (surely I misheard?) …  he went on to talk about diesel fumes which are a totally different subject and then just totally lost the plot. It was such a mad rant I was half expecting him to go onto HIV-Aids and then perhaps how the mother ship was going to save him but annihilate the rest of humanity …
This is so typical of the evil people who want to deny the benefits of geological fuels to the third world. Because they hate industry (i.e. the private sector) they are like sponges soaking up anything bad so that when someone like the BBC squeezes them, out comes all their vile hatred in one irrational stream.
However, on the positive side, it did start me thinking that I’ve not tried to detail the health benefits of industry and rising CO2. So, this is a first attempt to quickly jot down the health benefits of CO2 or more accurately the geological fuels that just happen to be enhancing atmospheric plant food.
Wood smoke = Smoking
Anyone who thinks cooking on wood is a good idea should be forced to live in an iron-age house in winter. The air is thick with smoke, and having been in one with a nice through draft (only possible in summer) I found that within 30 minutes watching a demonstration of iron-age life my eyes were stinging and I was starting to feel the acrid taste of condensed smoke at the back of my throat.

I’ve started to wonder whether alarmists have any evidence left. So I started trawling alarmist sites to see just what they do actually cite as evidence.
Cited by Alarmists

• Increasing CO2
  → Proven
• Rising global temperature – They claim rising temperatures. However whilst 20th century warming is highly likely, the satellite record shows no recent warming. There is overwhelming evidence of one-way bias when calculating global temperature from ground stations. It is my assessment that those organisations who are most alarmist show the highest warming. This very strongly suggests that it is only the bias introduced by human upjustments that is causing any perceived warming.
  → (very likely) busted.
• Antartic ice
  Reading the following articles I cannot see any stable long term metrics for Antarctic ice. The one with the longest period (1992-2011) shows an increase. That from 2009-2011 shows a gain, 2003-2009 gain, another 2010-12 show a decrease. link, link, link
  Another site suggests very mild melting from 1979-2009 link
  In contrast this one in the notoriously alarmist site called “Nature” suggests a decrease: link
  This is very difficult to judge as there is too little evidence.
  → Possible, but certainly not proved.
• Greenland Ice
  This appears to be a credible claim link, link
  → Credible claim
• Glaciers
  On this site there is apparent decrease in Glaciers 1960-2006. However the data stops a long time ago in 2006 and I cannot find anything more up to date. This is typical alarmist behaviour when there is a contrary trend. The refreezing of Asian glaciers (link) would suggest this is the reason we don’t see more recent data. However even if the trend is toward refreezing, this doesn’t mean a total reversal.
  Some old evidence of melting pre 2006.
  → Current status is unknown.
• Snow line retreating
  This claim is nonsense (link)
  →  Busted

It took me a while to find anything about the Yahoo advanced searching, so I’m posting it here for others from this URL

Advanced Search

With Advanced Web Search, you can find search results that match very specific criteria. The options you choose in an Advanced Web Search only apply to that one search.
To begin, start on the Advanced Web Search page.

Building your search

Use the following options to construct your Advanced Web Search.

Show Results With

These text boxes give Yahoo Search specific instructions about the words you enter.

Many of these Advanced Search options can also be activated by typing Yahoo Search Shortcut symbols into the basic search box.

Site/Domain

Restrict your search to sites with a specific domain suffix (the part at the end), such as .com, .edu, or .gov. For example, if you’d like to search only websites of non-commercial organizations, click the radio button next to .org to select just .org domains.
You can also use this field to search within a particular website domain, such as yahoo.com.

File Format

You can choose to restrict your search to a specific type of file. Currently, supported formats are:

SafeSearch Filter

You can choose to have explicit, adult-oriented content filtered out of your search results. We’ll use information gathered from the Yahoo Directory and our technology partners to block a large amount of explicit material.

If you’d like to keep this filter in place for all your Web searches, you can select this option in your Yahoo Search preferences.

Country

Yahoo normally searches websites from all over the world. You can use this setting to search only sites from a particular country.

Languages

Your results might include sites written in English, Japanese, Spanish, or other languages. To limit your current, advanced search to certain languages select them on this page.
To adjust your language settings for all of your Yahoo Search results, use the Yahoo Search preferences.

Number of Results

Yahoo Search normally shows 10 Web results per page. You can choose to see a different number of results per page, between 10 and 100.
You can change this setting for all of your Yahoo Search results, use the Yahoo Search preferences.

Just a few wishes:

• partial word search
• Date range search
• Pseudo Meta-tags search (author, published date, title, only search body)
• Number search
• Special character search such as “What?” (essential when searching for programming terms such as   || as opposed to | in php – one is logically or the other is bitwise)
• Number range search
• AD/BC/BP date range search. AD and BC are the way to write dates, unless you use BP (before present, which is an alternative way to date) –THEY ARE THE RIGHT WAY And let me be frank, Christians invented the calendar – so we should reflect that. Moreover, it is just the simple well understood method which only morons would reject. But because of moronic PC stupidity in academia we now have a plethora of date types so in addition to BC, B.C. & BP we now have the completely offensive BCE, B.C.E. (offensive because it denies the work of early Christian Scholars and what’s the difference of Before Christ and Before Christian Era – the simple fact is that the date is related to supposed birth of one named “Christos” by his followers. That doesn’t change by adding a letter! We still call Wednesday after norse gods, the Christians invented the present calendar and Christ does not mean anything to jews since its a Greek word meaning oily – and most ridiculous of all, when we return to common sense and everyone uses BC. Because of the pathetic stupidity of academics we’ll still have a few decades of books where dates cannot be searched properly … and most importantly of all, 128CE in many fonts on poor quality reproductions is indistinguishable from 12BCE).

For a while I’ve been noticing a distinct lack of very high profile sceptic blogs appearing in Google News feeds and some quite ridiculously low rating warmist blogs appearing as “news”. We all know that there have been isolated instances of bias, but now this effect is so great that I cannot ignore it.
Therefore I cannot continue categorising Google as being impartial on uClimate.com as their searches are now clearly and unequivocally biased toward “warmist”.
Note: This makes the decline in the number of warmist news stories on google all the more spectacular! Because they are declining relative to sceptic ones despite the policy of bias by Google.

Addendum

Just realised that if Google are so biased that I must classify them as “alarmists”, it would be unethical to use them as a search engine or to carry their ads – which involves a lot of work for me and probably a loss of the small bit of money I get in from ads.
However initial searching suggests the following:

• As a toolbar: Yahoo search
• As a home page: http://www.webcrawler.com/
• For ads Bing ads

I’m not very happy to have to be using Micro$oft, because it gained much of its wealth from useless software which it forced on consumers at great expense by creating a monopoly.
However, whereas Micro$oft were profiteers, Google are both profiteering AND trying to force a political agenda which has removed some types of websites almost completely from its searches. So it is de facto one of the biggest threats to free speech & liberty.
