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**:

Exxon: Oh Mann oh Mann

Michael Mann is an idiot. His Hockeystick might have started as an error in the code, but his failure to come clean and then his stupid self-proclaimed “Nobel prize”** and other lies means he has become a laughing stock.
Exxon, like every other oil company has gained hugely from the global warming scam, as idiotic energy policies pushed up the price of energy and oil (a huge boon) and opened up new “wind” sectors which all the big oil companies are dabbling in. So in one way or another they always profit – after all, what do they care how they make their money?
And as for funding Sceptics – it’s a complete lie. Because when I was Chairman of the Scottish Climate and Energy Forum, I wrote to each and everyone of the BIG OIL companies asking for help in the form of a donation. Only one replied and that was to say no in the a very short email. There was not the slightest interest at all in funding sceptics whatsoever – not on your nelly – not one penny. So, I know personally that they have no interest whatsoever in sceptics or helping our cause.
Indeed, given their disinterest in funding sceptics, and the profits they make from this global warming scam, I have to admit it has crossed my mind many times that that Exxon themselves (or a competitor) dreamed up this scheme to help “slur” us sceptics (and Exxon?), in the hope of keeping this global warming gravy train going for all those with their snouts in the trough from BIG OIL to Mann. It’s all profit to these oil companies and if anyone ought to know how devious they are it’s the greens – but they are SO GULLIBLE!
However, there’s a grubby little article someone’s written and Mann’s always good for a laugh, so if you want to read the vile rantings and fast irrelevant garbage here it is:
http://insideclimatenews.org/news/12112015/michael-mann-climate-change-scientist-interview-exxon-mobil-investigation-global-warming


**Just to show you what a prat Mann is, let me explain why if he’s a “Nobel Prize Winner” then I and everyone else is also a winner of the same “Nobel prize”. First, he is not a member of the IPCC nor employed by it. So in no way can he claim to have got the Nobel Prize. That’s because the members of the IPCC are world governments.
However, there is a comical argument that can be used and it goes like this: because he’s part of the US (who got the prize), this means that everyone in the US also got the same award. But ironically, that argument (if true) would mean I’ve got two Nobels,  because the EU got another Nobel award for “peace”.

First Comment to COP21!!!

I was looking for the dates of COP21 – to find out when the DeadParrotTalks would be over and found that no one had commented on the YouTube video on their front page … so I hurriedly added some comments (not actually expecting them to appear) … but they did!!!

https://youtu.be/vYtQMYHU0nY

Cop21
What on earth can a load of hypocrites flying to Paris to gorge themselves tell us about the climate?
The real climate has had no warming for 18 years as the satellites show, corroborated by the growing Antarctic ice, that global sea ice is at its normal level and even Greenland surface ice has grown since 1990. So the physical evidence overwhelming disproves this global warming hypothesis … it is dead, it has gone to meet it’s maker, it is only kept alive by a whole load of gullible people and others with their snouts too deep in the trough of public money to care about the poor of this world.
And what about them? Rising CO2 is causing record harvests and greening of the deserts. Isn’t that great! Isn’t it fantastic that we are helping to feed the poor without some daft UN scheme where the rich cream off the money leaving almost nothing for the poor?
15x the number of people die from cold globally as warming. In the UK alone there have been some 1 million extra winter deaths since this scam started. The bio-fuels scandal killed many poor. This whole Cop is not only unscientific, it is immoral!

The Advanced Greenhouse theory implies 100m rise in effective top of atmosphere

If you are still one of the people who believe the “Greenhouse theory” of warming, but don’t quite know why it sounds rubbish. Let me recap the advanced theory & the differences (CO2 used to mean all greenhouse gases including H2O).

  • The greenhouse theory says CO2 absorbs IR – the advanced theory says it absorbs and emits IR
  • The Greenhouse theory says that the greenhouse effect is strongest at the bottom of the atmosphere under the blanket of the atmosphere (BS). The advanced theory says the effect of CO2 has most effect at the top.
  • The Greenhouse theory says the atmosphere doesn’t have any lapse rate through the atmosphere. The advanced theory says that as we rise up, the reduction in energy of the gas results in a loss of energy and so temperature.
  • The greenhouse theory has a fictional atmosphere with no mass, no mechanism for convective currents and models it as a single temperature.

In short the “greenhouse” gas theory is not only wrong in name (greenhouses don’t work the way suggested) but it is wrong scientifically and no wonder so many people look at it and think it is BS.
To help understand the real atmosphere, I’ve shown a model below. In this atmosphere the temperature drops as we rise up from the ground according to the lapse rate (or as shown: adiabatic lapse rate – which ignores rain).  The model then says that if we were to look at the source of most radiation (or at least the part active in Greenhouse warming), then most of it comes from the top layers of the atmosphere (although in reality as 90% of the atmosphere is in the troposphere, this “top” is quite low down in the actual atmosphere.)
So, the temperature of the top surface of the atmosphere can be calculated by assuming its a black body and that temperature comes out at around 255C. The surface is measured at around 288C. This shows that the temperature drop due to potential energy loss of energy moving from ground surface up to radiative surface equates to an average around 33C. This is what is called the “greenhouse effect” (wrongly)

Removing all the irrelevant components from the Penn State "opaque atmosphere" model, we are left with the above.

The break down of modern society: is this the inevitable march to WWIII?

Around 15 years ago, the (once) highly popular BBC Today program introduced a forum on the internet. I was an active member of that forum, with views not that dissimilar to the broadcasters: but working in industry, I was far more pragmatic and worldly and so far more aware of the need to encourage engineering, industry and profit.
However, I began to notice a new phenomenon (new to me). What I observed were individuals who desperately wanted to talk about immigration. At first, like the BBC staff, I assume they were racist, but I came to realise as I read what they wrote, that each and every time they tried to raise the subject – whilst I could see nothing wrong in what they said – the BBC moderators would just close down the discussion and ban those individuals who attempted to raise the subject.

No discussion at all – absolutely nothing – was allowed about immigration.

So, 15 years later, you can imagine how sickening I now feel to find the same intolerant BBC people, going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on …. about immigration at every news. And, far from seeing that their fascist intolerance 15 years ago was unjustified, they have the same pro-immigration views. So, I know that everything they broadcast about immigration is the most politically slanted and biased claptrap. Continue reading →

University of Aberdeen: Rates of ancient climate change may be underestimated

Dr David Kemp lead researcher with interests in understanding the sedimentological, stratigraphical and geochemical responses to climate change in the geological record

Dr David Kemp lead researcher with interests in understanding the sedimentological, stratigraphical and geochemical responses to climate change in the geological record


The pace of past episodes of climate change is likely to have been underestimated, according to research carried out by scientists at the University of Aberdeen and Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) in Germany with Dr David Kemp from the University of Aberdeen School of Geosciences as lead author of the study.
In a paper published in Nature Communications, the research team demonstrate how geological archives do not capture the full variability of climate change likely to have occurred in ancient times. The result, they argue, is that maximum rates of climate change in Earth’s history are systematically underestimated.
Dr Kemp explained: “Our work shows that rates of temperature change through Earth’s history scale with the timespan over which the changes are measured, meaning that the rates of recorded change are inevitably slower when measured over longer and longer time periods.
“When you look at geological changes in temperature, which can typically only be measured over thousands to tens of thousands of years, you inevitably don’t capture the detail and full variability of changes that we know from more modern records occur on much shorter timescales.”
Professor Wolfgang Kiessling, from FAU, adds that rates of warming through ancient episodes of large-scale climate change were probably much quicker than previously thought, perhaps similar to, or exceeding, the pace of warming today.
“Our work emphasises how the geological record biases the data. More recent history shows that significant climate change can occur over short periods of time, and it is these types of relatively short-term events that cannot be resolved from the geological record.”
The team emphasise that their research doesn’t negate present-day concerns over climate change, but rather highlights a gap in our understanding of ancient climate change.
“Our work doesn’t impact on how quickly climate is changing today, but instead it emphasises how the geological record is an imperfect archive of ancient climate behaviour,” explained Kilian Eichenseer, a graduate student on the study team. “Reliably comparing and contrasting ancient and modern climate change is therefore problematic.”
He added: “While there is little doubt that the current rate of climate change is unusual and something that causes understandable concern, caution should be exercised when describing modern changes as unprecedented in the context of Earth’s history, since this doesn’t take into account the clear bias that complicates the assessment of ancient rates of climate change.”

New video: the troughers stuffing their faces.

If there’s one thing I hate, it is hyocrites like these troughers flying thousands of miles off to some luxury resort, falsely claiming warming and then telling all of us who know far more about the science, the we THE LITTLE PEOPLE have to cut back whilst they gorge themselves.

And the last global warming pillar falls – I declare global warming doomsday claptrap to be disproven.

Until the beginning of this year I would write on forums something along the lines of: “no warming for XXX years, but there is evidence for some melting of polar ice – that is what we would expect after the little ice-age”.
Then Tony Heller pointed out that globally sea ice was back to normal (now rising).
Then we heard that Antarctic ice had been INCREASING. also sea ice.
That left one real substantial pillar of the global warming religion: there had been studies showing Greenland ice had decreased.
Now today I read this report from the Danish site: Weather, Climate and Ocean Current Surface Mass Budget of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which shows that Greenland surface ice-mass has also been increasing.

Left: Map of the surface mass balance today (in mm water equivalent per day). Right: The average surface mass balance for today’s calendar date over the period 1990-2013.

Left: Map of the surface mass balance today (in mm water equivalent per day). Right: The average surface mass balance for today’s calendar date over the period 1990-2013.


So let me now review the main evidence I had for CO2 warming:

  1. Even though 69% suspect the temperature record has been tampered with, it is still safe to say there was an apparent temperature increase large enough to turn a predominate cooling scare into a warming scare. So, whilst we can’t ignore instrumentational errors and outright fraud, underneath was an apparent trend large enough to persuade those who then believed in global cooling. STILL TRUE
  2. CO2 levels have risen. There’s debate about how much of this rise is due to mankind, but the fact it has risen is not in dispute. STILL TRUE
  3. There is a scientific basis for the CO2 blanket. This is only large enough for a fraction of the predicted warming, but the fundamental, but small direct increase due to CO2 is based on reasonably sound science STILL TRUE
  4. There are indicators that the temperature may have changed. E.g. a small change in Arctic ice NOW FALSE and Himalaya glaciers. (False?) But these indicators are all dubious. NOW: CONTRARY TO CURRENT WARMING
  5. I’m going to add in sea level rise – even though the evidence points to a deacceleration of sea level rather than the necessary acceleration. NOW TAKE OUT

Now let me add in all the evidence for criminal activity:
Evidence of Criminal activity, fraud and corruption

  1. Climategate showed attempts to “get rid of medieval warming” and “hide the decline”. As this research was cited when applying for funds, it amounts to fraud.
  2. East Anglia University broke Freedom of Information law (but were not prosecuted due to time delay – although conspiracy to break FOI law doesn’t seem to have the same time limit)
  3. The Inquiries into Climategate showed widespread and high profile conspiracy to break the law and pervert the course of justice.
  4. NASA have repeated been found to have dishonestly cooled the past.
  5. NOAA have broken US law by refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena from their oversight committee.
  6. The fact NOAA will not disclose emails as the law requires, is very strong evidence that they have altered global temperature to fabricate a warming trend.
  7. Gleick committed a criminal act when he stole emails from Heartland.
  8. The continued use of out of date CO2 warming figures based on out of date HITRAN data when the new data shows considerably less warming.
  9. The BBC libel of sceptics and various other hate crimes by the BBC and like minded people.
  10. Shukla who syphoned off public money into a company run by all his relatives in what clearly looks extremely dubious: Uh, oh. Jagdish Shukla and the #RICO20 has captured the attention of Congress, and FOIA documents are coming out
  11. The Hockeystick – which no doubt started as a mistake by Mann, but which due to his failure to come clean, his repeated and false claim to be a Nobel laureate and other daft claims and assertions and his use of this bogus material to get funds and generally benefit himself, seems to constitute fraud.

Note: the only potential “crime” by any sceptic is the alleged “hack” of emails which the information commission later ruled should have been in the public domain. So the worst that can be said, is that if any hack occurred, it merely forced the UEA to comply with the law. (although I suspect it was an insider disgusted with their behaviour).

Conclusion

With the recent scandal at NOAA whereby they and NASA fabricated warming, it is now clear that none of the surface measurements can be trusted. As such, given that Antarctic and now Arctic ice is gaining in volume and not melting, and given the widespread corruption in the subject, it is now safe to say that there is no credible evidence of current warming. With no trends in extreme weather, floods, droughts, children know what snow is, CO2 the plant food is leading to record harvests and greening deserts, etc., there is now no credible evidence of any harm and indeed significant evidence of positive benefits.
Therefore I declare that Global Warming – the theory that said we should now be seeing massive warming and catastrophic effects – is disproved.


Note:
The data shows surface ice level is increasing. If temperature were affecting the ice, the first place we would expect to see melting is at the surface and therefore this is strong evidence that over the period 1990-present, that Greenland has not been melting. This however is not the same as “Greenland ice-mass” (as originally written). This would need to take account of glacier calving – a process which may reflect an “excess” accumulation of ice 10s of thousands of years ago (i.e. during the ice-age) and so the rate is not a good indication of what current temperature is doing as there need not be any correlation with present temperature.
