Telling Climate Hysterics The Truth Is Like Salting Slugs: Necessary, But Fun

Written By : William Teach

James Delingpole reminds the Warmists of a simple fact: there has been no statistical warming since 1998: There has been no global warming since 1998

The headline of this post really shouldn’t be controversial. It chimes perfectly with what Kevin “null hypothesis” Trenberth wrote in that notorious 2009 Climategate email to Michael Mann:

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.

And it’s what Phil Jones admitted in a BBC interview when he said that there had been no “statistically significant” warming since 1995.

Liberals really hate when their own words are used in context.

Why then am I mentioning it now? W-e-l-l, because just as ze war is to the Germans, Chappaquiddick is to the Kennedy family and that Portland masseuse incident to Al Gore, so the recent lack of warming is to the, er, Warmists. They hate it. It’s an affront to everything they believe in. Damn it, if the world isn’t warming with the alacrity they’d prefer, how are they going to keep the funding gravy train going, and how are they going to persuade an increasingly sceptical populace that the “science” is “settled”, the debate over and the time for action is now? That’s why they can’t reminded of the truth often enough. It’s like salting the slugs that are ruining your garden: necessary, but also kind of fun too.

Heh, heh. Slugs. Of course, slugs can’t be indoctrinated. Which is why, since the notion of anthropogenic global warming is dying out, the leaders of the cult come up with other ways to push for more gravy. They usually do this after long fossil fueled flights on private jets, followed by rides in limos to conferences which use massive amounts of electricity, and include lots of great food. They’ve tried changing the name to climate crisis, climate change, abrupt climate change, and are trying a resurgence of climate crisis again. Over the past few years, they’ve tried out biodiversity and food security. They’ve invented a myth in which greenhouse gases make it cold and snowy. Everything that happens in the natural world is no longer part of nature (and Darwin’s theory of evolution? Right out the window), but caused by Mankind.

Then there is this one, which is what Delingpole was leading up to

No global warming since 1998? Simple. All you’ve got to do – as Kaufmann et al have done – is apply the Even Though We’re Wrong We’re Right Panacea Get-Out Formula. In this instance the ETWWWRPGOF (as it’s snappily known) involves Blaming The Chinese. Yep, it turns out all that pollution that Chinese are pumping into the air thanks to their unhealthy obsession with economic growth and giving better lives to their children is actually counteracting the effects of Man Made Global Warming.

I mentioned that story Tuesday morning. It is just another overwrought and hysterical attempt to keep the cult going. As Michael R. Fox, PHD points out

Since the proponents of global warming are being caught without providing supporting evidence, the theory of man-made global warming is being destroyed before our very eyes. With no hardnosed physical evidence, measurable, observable, replicable evidence, the fiction has been sustained by non-science methods. These include appeals to authority, existence of an elitist scientific consensus, computer models none of which produce physical evidence.

Let’s see the whole email rather than one pull quote. Context is everything and context doesn’t work well for your flat earth perspectives.

flagged for threadjacking. We are not discussing the myth of a “flat earth”, rather the myth of man made global warming.

Flagged for censorship of alternate opinions. The authoritarian personality at work again.

Stop whining, Joe. If you don’t like the way the board is run, then take your ignorant ass elsewhere!

Stan I told him that the other day. He just comes here to disrupt everyone.

My suggestion is to ignore the jerk.

You folks seem to hate the other side of reality, and feel more comfortable not received views which are dissonant with your own. Sign of a poor education.

Vegi, without what you call trolls, liberals for sake of a better term, this place would turn into a repeating echo chamber, where if you read one comment you have read them all. Why bother. In fact, why bother coming here at all. Sorry to say it, but those who complain the most are the least creative and informative. Yes, you know who you are! You are taking this site into the tubes.

Amen to that.

Flat earth is a alternative opinion?

And since Nixon is not a moderator, there is no censorship.

Busted for lying again joe.

Joebritton

The entire left wing is a lie. So what’s new, according to the world of Nixon, or is it a Truman’s world you aspire to?
Joebritton

Well thanks and no thanks Dick.

You “busted” me, even though I’ve learned to like you. Afterall, anyone who could name themselves after the most liberal Republican president on record, deserves consideration.

Since Richard is Nixon’s first name and Nixon may or may not be Nixon’s middle or last name, you do the math.

So, if you would like to see “the whole email” then you could always check out the full link that Mr. Teach provided. You see, those are the blue fonts in the article. When you scroll your mouse over them, the pointer typically turns from a triangle arrow to a finger animation to show that there is something there if you click it.

Then you could see the entire column posted by James Delingpole as well as the Daily Mail and Hawaii Reporter. By reading these, you could then judge for yourself the context of this summation and how it may work for you “perspective.”

There’s this awesome thing called Google, in which you can easily find all the Climategate emails, bub

Give it a whirl. Or Yahoo, MSN, Lycos, and many other search engines

The Handsome Dick

Then why did you exclude the email if you could have easily given the whole thing? Because the context refutes your claim, is why.

Bub.

DICK, you include a lot of fail in your posts. Open your eyes, BUB.

Handsome Dick, can you repost what you said?

The only way these idiots think they can win arguments is by getting rid of yours. Well, I guess that’s true.

Hi all

Well I have my own article on where the heck is global warming? We are asking that here in Boulder where we have broken records the past two days for the coldest days on record. We had 4 inches of snow. The high the last 2 days was below 30F and the normal is 69F, and it smashed the previous records for these days by 10F. The low was about 18F and also a record low, well below the previous record low. This is January weather (see the Rockies baseball playoff game was canceled on saturday and then played last night in below freezing
weather).

Trenberth, K. E., 2009: An imperative for climate change planning: tracking Earth’s global energy. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 1, 19-27,[voi:10.1016/j.cosust.2009.06.001. [1][PDF] (A PDF of the published version can be obtained from the author.)

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate. That said there is a LOT of nonsense about the PDO. People like CPC are tracking PDO on a monthly basis but it is highly correlated with ENSO. Most of what they are seeing is the change in ENSO not real PDO. It surely isn’t decadal. The PDO is already reversing with the switch to El Nino. The PDO index became positive in September for first time since Sept 2007.

Notes: I’ve reformatted this email for readability – the source file is a straight ASCII text file which lacks line breaks. I’m guessing this is how the original was formatted, but I could be wrong about that. Also, in the original source file, (1255352257.txt) there is additional text following Mr. Trenberth’s signature which is made up of at least one reply to his original email content. I trimmed that.

If you’re seriously interested in reading the “Climategate” emails, you can download the whole mass of them and the data which was purloined from UEA’s servers by searching for the file “FOI2009.zip” online – it’s available from a wide number of sources. In it, you’ll find all the emails, and all of the questionable data used by the Jones, Mann, Briffa, et al.

Isn’t that just one study, from one organization, though?

Fair enough. As you know, I don’t really have a firm position on this. I am not contesting any of the above.

Imagine if a doctor came out with a magical pill that he claimed cured cancer.

But then it came out that in the tests it did no better than the placebo and in fact may have made things worse.

And then on top of that we discover a bunch of emails of his where he admits it doesn’t work and is pissed off by his failure to explain why it is useless at curing cancer.

Then when pressed he comes up with radical theories on the spot to explain away the failure (uh . . . the treatment group was under fluorescent lights, everyone knows my magical pill doesn’t work under fluorescent lights, plus there was a full moon then and the yankees had just lost an important game and . . . ). And when pressed further he calls everyone who disagrees with him Nazis and runs away crying.

Oh yeah, and when he gets cancer he absolutely refuses to use this pill saying it’s only good enough for everyone else, but not for him.

Ok, imagine all that. Now, when should he be expecting his Nobel Prize?

Maybe one day when AGW is recognized alongside eugenics and phrenology as the psuedo-science it is, we’ll be able to pull Michael Crichton out of the memory hole.

“State of Fear” (while a novelization) has turned out to be an astoundingly accurate indictment of the global warming community, and was the first major blow struck against a seemingly unstoppable tide of liberal and media groupthink.

Of course, as a result, Crichton’s death was completely ignored and he was entirely scrubbed from popular culture with Stalin-like vindictiveness by the media. The book may well end up achieving an “Atlas Shrugged” level of vindication in the near future though as global warming goes down as another junk science scare.

Joebritton

Well at least you admit that the antiClimate Change fad is purely political.

“Except for a leveling off between the 1940s and 1970s, Earth’s surface temperatures have increased since 1880. The last decade has brought temperatures to the highest levels ever recorded, and the last year of the decade (2009) was tied for the second warmest year in the modern record, a new NASA analysis of global surface temperature shows. The analysis, conducted by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, is based on temperatures recorded at weather stations around the world and satellite data over the oceans.”

Source quoted above. So this professor has trouble keeping his records straight. Isn’t that what he admitted?

Anonymous

Uh, what? The burden of proof is on the warmists to prove their case, which they have been unable to do.

There’s no such thing as “anti Climate Change” just the facts. The hypothesis that human emissions cause global warming and detrimental consequences has not been proven.

You’re just pissed that a vehicle for more liberal taxes and takeovers is collapsing like a house of cards in the face of the facts.

Joebritton

I presented the evidence below, that is to say, if it were not flagged and deleted. But that’s your problem bao, your mind has only been allowed to see what the higher authorities want you to see. When you actually get into science instead of politics, things are not what they seem to be.

Anonymous

What “higher authorities”? It’s not a complex argument. Show me proven science and there’s no debate. We’re not talking about the existence of God here. We’re talking about a causal relationship that if exists, can be proven through research and experimentation.

Joebritton

Can you tell me what I said? Too many people around here are just that intolerant of others’ opinions that they must delete comments. At least you are willing to debate.

Here’s the professor himself:

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

WTF?
Joebritton

Is NASA part of the conspiracy?

“The map shows the 10-year average (2000-2009) global mean temperature anomaly relative to the 1951-1980 mean. The largest temperature increases are in the Arctic and the Antarctic Peninsula. Source: NASA Earth Observatory ”

http://www.thepiratescove.us/ William_Teach

So, it’s not global but localized?

Joebritton

So CO2 emissions are having a “greater” effect on the poles rather than the rest of the globe, where effects are nonetheless still evident, is that what you’re saying?

I can agree with that. Global warming is real.

By “lack of warming” he actually meant “its cooling” but he couldn’t say that, now could he?

The BIG LIE.

If you tell it often enough, people WILL believe it is true.

Or so the theory goes.

Theoretical Rationale = made up stuff

Empirical Evidence = MORE made up stuff

Scientific Consensus = “Scientific” made up stuff

The self-correcting nature of the scientific method = More “Scientific” made up stuff

OH NO!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!! RUN!!

And we ALL know how THAT worked out.
