Congress is to launch a “House investigations” this week into the researches and top officials from the US National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who recently changed their temperature measurements to show warming.
The action follows the illegal and unconstitutional actions by NOAA refusing a subpoena from their oversight committee demanding to know the internal deliberations that lead up to a supposedly “Groundbreaking” climate study. This study sharply contrasts with satellite data showing no warming for around 18 years and other physical evidence such as the growing Antarctic ice, the normal level of global sea ice and even Greenland surface ice shows an increase from 1990.
But the interviews are not enough to placate the stalwart Chairman of the House Science Committee who are charged with oversight of NOAA. This champion of science: Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex) has stepped up to the mark to put pressure on NOAA to force them to comply with their legal and constitutional duty to submit to oversight and provide the emails.
Lamar wants the thousands of e-mails between researchers and NOAA’s political appointed staff because he believes it will show political meddling in what is supposed to been “science”. Moreover he believes the emails will prove that NOAA changed the way they handle temperature measurement purely to refute the physical evidence showing that global temperature has “paused” for at least a decade  [18 years].

To the question: “If it’s not legally biding, can we tear this thing up, … is it a futile exercise”
Bill Lao, SOSventures (planting trees as Carbon indulgences) admits it is futile:
BL: “Well … I kind of say yes, in some respects it is futile, having sat through the process internally, you know, … the targets won’t be binding so, so who’s going to adhere to them?”
Interviewer: “That doesn’t sound very positive”
BL: “No, it’s not, well, one of the nice things about the UN process is that we NGOs do go and get to talk” (Note, as said previously, that buy in – not happening this time!!)
BL: “The actual progress is grindingly slow. Because the process relies on consensus” …
Interviewer: “What would be success in Paris?”
BL: “Success in Paris would be that there is a state change … so far I haven’t seen that, I haven’t seen an inkling of that”.

Note date appears to be 12th Nov before the appalling events in Paris

According to a report in ABC in Australia:
French prime minister Manuel Valls said:

But he said the conference would “probably” be reduced to the official negotiation.
“We are in the process of looking at that but everything which was outside of the COP (climate talks), a whole series of concerts, of rather festive events, will be without a doubt cancelled,” Mr Valls said.

However, it still appears the Governmental meeting continues:

“No head of state, of government — on the contrary — has asked us to postpone this meeting. All want to be there,” Mr Valls said on RTL radio.

The Effect

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.

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.
 

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.

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.
 

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).

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.
