Uh Oh. Another Big Media Outlet Wonders About AGW And Consensus
Written By : William Teach

Yet another domino has fallen. On Wednesday, the U.K. Mail Online, part of the Daily Mail, was in full wondering mode. After a recitation of some seriously cold weather in the US and Austria, in an article they entitle Whatever happened to global warming? How freezing temperatures are starting to shatter climate change theory, they write

But most pertinent of all, of course, are the growing volume of statistics.

According to the National Climatic Data Centre, Earth’s hottest recorded year was 1998.

If you put the same question to NASA, scientists will say it was 1934, followed by 1998. The next three runner-ups are 1921, 2006 and 1931.

Which all blows a rather large hole in the argument that the earth is hurtling towards an inescapable heat death prompted by man’s abuse of the environment.

Indeed, some experts believe we should forget global warming and turn our attention to an entirely differently phenomenon – global cooling.

The evidence for both remains inconclusive, which is unlikely to help the legions of world leaders meeting in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new climate change deal.

Unfortunately, they could have a 100 year blizzard in Copenhagen (something not likely to happen. Copenhagen tends to get little snow, and the temps tend to be moderate for the region, with little freezing) and world leaders will still pass whatever idiocy they have up their sleeves. Air Force One could get stuck on the tarmac because of massive snow and ice, and he will still sign whatever is passed. Because it is all about control, not science.

And, as far as control goes, Lord Christopher Monckton had this to say (from Fightin’ Words)

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.

How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.

As the saying goes, read the whole thing.

    So, when will we hear from our resident climatologist, D-Vega, telling us that Global Warming has nothing to do with the Globe getting any Warmer?

    Nonsense. We can't predict climate any more accurately than we can the long-range weather forecast. We don't know what all the variables are which affect climate, and we don't understand how those variables all interact to produce what we know as climate. That goes for hypotheses of global cooling as well as global warming. Predictions of coming disaster should be reserved for that which we actually know, not that which might happen. Leave that speculation for popular press and teevee.

    What our scientists should be doing, instead of thinking that they can play God and change the climate, is to be thinking of viable alternatives to help mankind survive and adapt to whatever the future holds for us in terms of climate. That is their social obligation to all of us. And right now, they're not fulfilling their social obligation.

    If we were in a period of intense global warming, which we are not, what I would want from the scientific community is development of food production methods and techniques which will feed all of mankind. What would I want is strategies to survive blistering hot temperatures. What I want is approaches to dealing with sea level change. What I want is for scientists to start doing the hard practical work of science.

    I wonder what climatological state would lead the liberals to suggest *lowering* taxes instead of raising them, which seems to be their answer to "solving" the current "crisis"?

    Have you guys seen what's in that treaty?

    38. The scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention will be based on three basic pillars: government; facilitative mechanism; and financial mechanism, and the basic organization of which will include the following:

    World Government (heading added)

    (a) The government will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.

    To Redistribute Wealth (heading added)

    b) The Convention’s financial mechanism will include a multilateral climate change fund including five windows: (a) an Adaptation window, (b) a Compensation window, to address loss and damage from climate change impacts [read: the "climate debt" Monckton refers to], including insurance, rehabilitation and compensatory components, © a Technology window; (d) a Mitigation window; and (e) a REDD window, to support a multi-phases process for positive forest incentives relating to REDD actions.

    With Enforcement Authority (heading added)

    © The Convention’s facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation; (b) a long-term REDD process; © a short-term technology action plan; (d) an expert group on adaptation established by the subsidiary body on adaptation, and expert groups on mitigation, technologies and on monitoring, reporting and verification; and (e) an international registry for the monitoring, reporting and verification of compliance of emission reduction commitments, and the transfer of technical and financial resources from developed countries to developing countries. The secretariat will provide technical and administrative support, including a new centre for information exchange [read; enforcement].

    Oh nos! One world government and everything!

    Face it, if a person talks about global warming the are likely an ignorant conservative. Apologies for the redundancy.

    It's climate change people. Like when more rain falls in a day than ever has Bern recorded for this time of year, as happened in Monday.

    In the 1970's, it was Global Cooling. As little as a year ago, it was Global Warming. Now that both of those idiocies have been proven false, you have switched to Climate Change so that anything that happens in nature can be lumped together.

    Sorry, Jack, but it is difficult to keep up with the lies from the Left and they way you try to hide them with your vocabulary gymnastics.

    Sure it is. And in a few years, when "climate change" is proven to be complete bunk, you'll come up with another made-up "crisis".

    "The Convention’s facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation"

    So Obama actually does want white people shipped back to Africa as slaves. Now there's some reparations for you.

    " in a few years, when "climate change" is proven to be complete bunk, you'll come up with another made-up "crisis". "

    Climate Presence? The mere fact of climate is cause for panic? Beats me what they'll come up with next but I'm sure it'll be a smash.

    Several of the climate sites I visit are noticing that many of the climate alarmists are starting to focus attention on the environmental devastation caused by plastics as the NEXT! BIG! THING!

    Maybe that'll be something I can agree upon with them.

  • jimb123

    There was a Christian comedian who I heard in the 70's (I've forgotten his name – dang old age) who would begin with:

    "It's wonderful we're having weather".

    For those of us who are old enough (ahem) we remember the 70's with global cooling of a new ice age.

    Well, the Daily Mail isn't exactly left leaning. They've always tended to be on the skeptical side. They're also more of a celebrity gossip paper than anything else, although they do report hard news.

    Climate Change is real. It is also a natural cycle, not impacted by man.

    It's also called "evolution." Obviously, Jack shit is a creationist since he believes that climate has never changed prior to 1900. :-P

    I'll bet the next "crisis" is asteroids. Gigantic, planet-killing asteroids that are being magically attracted to the planet Earth because of all the electromagnetic fields from our electronic technology. But there's hope! Some quick-thinking liberals have realized that if we only give up 80% of our income in taxes we can stop this catastrophe from ever happening!

    Quick! Somebody organize a mass television and internet campaign to raise awareness about the coming electricity crisis! By God, we've got to control our electricity usage now or we're all doomed! DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!
