Paris climate summit to be pared back, says France PM

At last Common sense start to prevail:

A series of events linked to a UN climate summit in Paris in two weeks will be cancelled over security fears, Manuel Valls told local radio on Monday morning.
The conference will be “reduced to the negotiation” with “concerts and festive events” likely to be called off in the wake of the country’s worst ever terrorist attack, the country’s prime minister told RTL.

ce n'est pas possible

Hopefully about now, dozens of  different civil servants are saying words along the lines of “ce n’est pas possible”, to the political idiots who want to run COP21 instead of a war on terror. Also, hopefully a lot of politicians are pointing out the extreme vanity of putting a conference first – one that is widely accepted will be a failure – ahead of the security of French citizens.
Hopefully common sense prevails. However, if common sense had prevailed, we wouldn’t have the hysteria over global temperature nor would there have been an open door to immigration that has led directly to these terror attacks.
So, I would like to talk about the many different ways that the present situation makes those in France and at COP21 vulnerable, even to explain how easy it would be to attack COP21. But there’s no point because, either (hopefully) I would be proved wrong, or I would not be listened to, be proved right, being proved right will be no recompense. Indeed given the madness of the response and the selfishness of those eco-lunnies attending COP21, it is very likely they would accuse me of “aiding terrorism” merely by pointing out how easy it would be to attack COP21. But the true villains are the stupid people who open the door to terrorists not those trying to highlight that the door is open.

For info

The previous article was removed as the logic led me to believe that it could have been a small help to potential terrorists and whilst COP21 are too stupid to help themselves, I have no intention of helping any terrorists.

Nicolas Sarkozy requests postponement of COP21.

That COP21 should be postponed is a non-brainer given the huge policing requirements even before the Paris atrocities. But when COP21 will now need increased policing and there are regional elections in France at the beginning of December, something is going to have to give and is it:

  • Dealing with the “declared war” from the leeches in Syria?
  • Investigating this appalling war crime
  • Allowing French democracy to continue having elections
  • To continue with talks even Greens are saying will be a failure (and when the physical evidence overwhelming points to no warming)

However, I now have confirmation that at least some in France see common sense:

-SUNDAY 15- -François Holland receives heads of parties, including his predecessor and right rival Nicolas Sarkozy who has request the postponement of the COP21.
Translated from: Liberation: Attentats de Paris: le film des événements

My prediction is that when all the “office staff” arrive on Monday and realise just how stupid it is to go ahead with cop21 given the impossibility of managing it with all the other things going on, it is very likely it will be tactfully cancelled.

Updated Global Temperature predictions

Looking at October Enso, it looks likely that we will see a decline over the next 6-8months so that we are at a minimum around April – June Next year. So, just as it has boosted global temperature for the last few months, so now we will see a decline in Global Temperature due to ENSO.
It is therefore very likely that real global temperatures (i.e. satellites recording actual temperatures as opposed to the fabricated ones particularly from NASA and NOAA), will show marked cooling for the next 6-8 months.
However, this is on top of the longer term AMO cycle which is now firmly heading toward cooling (2010-2040). And there are good reasons to believe solar will contribute significantly to further cooling. CO2 continues rising, but the effect is now known to be quite small amounting to perhaps 0.02 to 0.06C/decade warming. However, other factors may have an affect. Changing land use tends to increase warming and changing levels of air pollution can be significant, and there are reasons to believe this could go up but also down in the next decade.
So, beyond next year, the year-to-year change become less predictable, but longer term we are more likely than not to see cooling over the next decade. And from 2020, we may again see warming (very roughly, the early warming resumes, the stronger the man-made contribution).

Prediction: Paris Climate Talks will be cancelled early next week

After the appalling events in Paris last night, many have started questioning the wisdom of going ahead with COP21.
If anyone has been following the run up to what I was calling the “DeadParrotTalks” (but in light of events that does not seem appropriate), you will know that for months many Greens are widely predicting the talks to be a failure. However, normally, such is the momentum of these things, that they are never called off.
However, I think they will now be cancelled for the following reasons:
World Leaders will cancel

The first thing, is that coming out of the blue and so soon before the Paris conference, World leaders are not going to want to gather together to present themselves as a choice terrorist target in Paris. Also, many have their own home grown terrorists and would not wish to be seen wasting their time at a failed conference.
The Delegates will cancel
Research by of all people, Lewandowsky, shows that the kind of people attending these events are the more gullible in society. They ignore the actual risk and instead they focus on the perceived risk. So, just as they can be persuaded that a minuscule increase in plant food is the greatest evil of humanity “worse than terrorism” – well you can imagine what a real risk like actual terrorism will do to them. Many will find “very important” reasons why they are needed elsewhere
Due to the international nature, there will now be a much increased security risk at any COP21
Because of these event, the French police, if COP21 went ahead, would need to devote perhaps 2x to 3x the resources they had intended to enable to talks to go ahead safely (and even more to make delegates feel safe)
The French Police have far more important things to do than baby sit a lot of climate hysterics.
When I heard that some 30,000 French police were already starting to prepare for COP21, it was obvious that these talks were going to be a massive drain on the same anti-terrorist police resources that are now needed to track down and stop these terrorists and any future attacks.
The French president and other politicians will have far more important things to do

Right now, the last thing anyone in Paris is concerned with is a climate that has not warmed for 18 years. And any politician seen working on any other issue than this terrorism (and certainly something as frivolous as climate) is going to feel the wrath of public anger. So, COP21 is now an unwelcome distraction which may well bring a lot of anger for any French politician wasting time on it.
The talks will be a failure
They would welcome an excuse to pull the plug

The rational thing is to pull the plug

The obvious thing for the French police to do, is to pull out the 30,000 police assigned for these talks – which are not going anywhere soon anyway and even the greens will admit can be delayed for at least another year – and deploy them on finding, capturing and destroying support for these terrorists.
Fundamentally, it boils down to this: many will now not attend COP21, and the only way most of the other COP21 delegates will now attend the conference in Paris, is if the Police in Paris drop the terrorist investigation and devote their whole time to protecting the COP21 delegates. One of these is going to have to give: the terrorist investigation and protection of public safety – or some talks already known to be a failure which likely many delegates would not attend even if every second person were armed police.
So, I predict, that very early next week, the French President will ask the UN to cancel the talks.

Could Paris Climate talks now be target for extremist violence?

As news comes in of another series of violent attacks in Paris, questions must surely be raised as to whether it can be safe to bring in so many world leaders from all over the globe to a meeting – which will be attended by radical climate extremists – some of whom are not unused to violent protest – particularly when it is known the meeting will not provide any tangible outcome.
Paris is clearly a hotbed of extremists – and surely COP21 will be a very tempting target!

Paris shootings and explosions near Stade deAt least 18 people have been killed in several shootings in the French capital, Paris, as well as explosions at the Stade de France.

At least one man opened fire with an automatic gun at the Petit Cambodge restaurant in the 11th district.
Liberation newspaper reports shootings near the Bataclan arts centre.
Three explosions are also reported outside a bar near the Stade de France, where France were hosting Germany.
Reports say French President Francois Hollande was watching the match and has been moved to safety.

Guardian bored of climate: "Melting glacier? Yawn. Climate change is boring"

If you wanted to prove that that even the Guardian know they’ve lost the public’s interest on “the greatest problem scam facing humanity”, then this latest headline from Owen Jones of the (loss making) Guardian says it all:

LittleCreep

Of course, it wasn’t half so boring when people were still gullible enough to swallow their extremists claptrap, nor before they stopped sceptics like me from commenting on their articles (usually I might add, to a storm of protests and howls from those who don’t like their noses rubbed in the evidence).
But you can get the drift:

it bores us to tears“, “

less than a quarter admitted to be either extremely or very worried about it.“,

my fear is we will occasionally glance at these stories, grimace a bit, and then move on to the latest snaps of Kate Middleton.” .

.. and OK, I admit it was too boring to read to the end so there’s undoubtedly more like that.
What we see here, is a born again climate extremist trying to reconcile his own evidence-lite utter conviction in extremist fiction, with the reality of 18 years without warming, growing Antarctic ice, sea ice normal, Greenland surface ice growing since 1990, etc. Everyone else has lost interest, but not this lad (presumably his first job). But like the last people in the party still sticking around after everyone else has left, this guy looks like the kind you find still in your flat in the morning. Utterly boring as a person and utterly boring in his writing style. (And he get’s paid for it?)

Like an Earthquake – anthem for sceptics?

As the overwhelming physical evidence against current warming causes more and more of the Global Warming Scam to fall apart, I think I might have found an anthemn for us sceptics:

Like An Earthquake

What makes this so poignant, is not only that it has a nice geophysical them – but that the Climate Extremist Biased Broadcasting Company also appear to have banned it  – and simply because they are Scottish. Now, personally, I don’t care if the artist is a born again green, or a Scot Nat  – the BBC should not ban her any more than they banned us sceptics. So here she is, the one and only Sandi Thom, from Fife (not far from Andrew Montford)

Independent removes notorious: Children Won't know what snow is – article

There can be few things as vile as using children to push your politics. And that is what Dr Viner did when he chose to insinuate to parents of young children that their actions would be denying children the same childhood memories they had of snow.
And to rub it in … it snowed today (just)!
I will admit, as a parent of a young child, seeing their first Christmases, I saw the article and I really did believe – what is now unequivocally, the biggest load of lying crap. He told a blatant lie, intending to play on the natural feeling of parents toward their children, in order to sell his vile and now proven false political views about climate. Views that have seen some 1 million extra winter deaths in the UK since this scam started go almost unreported by the media, whilst they go on endless about the “harm” of CO2 the plant food.
And do academic’s like Viner care one damn about all that 1 million who die from cold related deaths? Apparently not!
So, don’t think you’ll get away with this Dr Viner or your co-conspirators in the Independent. Here is their vile extremist abuse of children & decent society preserved for all time**:
