Global warming err Climate change HOAX

[Nanker]

They want it both ways. Some jack-hat calls B. O. a Muslim and it's horrible. Why? Is being a Muslim a bad thing? Then Carson says he wouldn't get behind putting a Muslim in the White House and he's pilloried because of his view.

That particularly galls me. It's apparently okay to be Muslim, as long as you keep it closeted and hidden. Or something.

 

Basically, it validates everything Osama bin Laden ever said about the US.

Pope Francis’s prepared remarks on “climate change” at the White House

 

A look at the prepared remarks of Pope Francis which he’ll deliver at the White House reveals his thoughts on climate change (and interestingly, “air pollution”):

 

Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our “common home,” we are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the changes needed to bring about “a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change” (Laudato Si’, 13). Such change demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition not only of the kind of world we may be leaving to our children, but also to the millions of people living under a system which has overlooked them. Our common home has been part of this group of the excluded which cries out to heaven and which today powerfully strikes our homes, our cities and our societies. To use a telling phrase of the Reverend Martin Luther King, we can say that we have defaulted on a promissory note and now is the time to honor it.

 

We know by faith that “the Creator does not abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or repents of having created us. Humanity still has the ability to work together in building our common home” (Laudato Si’, 13). As Christians inspired by this certainty, we wish to commit ourselves to the conscious and responsible care of our common home.

 

 

Although some would see the remarks as fairly benign, the key is to how they’ll be spun here (and elsewhere) to further a political agenda that says government must act now to forestall the ill effects of (man-made) climate change on our “common house”.

 

We all know we’re going to see these words over and over again in the coming weeks and months as the administration attempts to further its attempts to convince a skeptical public that climate change is both real, a product of man, and something that can be effected by government action (and taxes on you). Ironically, such action, if instituted, would likely effect the poor of the world the most.

 

Finally, we all know that this appeal to the authority of the Pope on matters of science is as large a logical fallacy as assuming a priori that Hillary Clinton is a sweet, incorruptible and uncorrupted granny.

 

But that won’t matter a bit during the campaign to leverage his words into some sort of political advantage prior to the December meeting in Paris on “climate change”.

 

 

Watch and learn.

I automatically ignore anyone who equates CO2 emissions as air pollution.

Actually, the Vatican maintains a healthy scientific research academy, and has heavily supported research in many scientific disciplines for some 200 years (or longer - the Vatican's supported astronomy for about 500+ years.)

 

They're not a first-line scientific institute like CERN or Woods Hole or LANL...but they're better than probably half of what passes for "science" in the US. In as much as I make arguments to authority (I don't), I'd take the Pope's scientific authority over a good many people's.

How disappointing for the Left,

 

after the huge buildup on the Pope Francis/Climate Change expectations,

 

he essentially tells us to "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute"

 

 

Shouldn't we be required to change our whole society for this impending doom ?................C'mon.

"Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world."

 

"The increasing ice is especially perplexing since the water beneath the ice has warmed, not cooled...."

 

Ultimately, it’s apparent the relationship between ozone depletion, climate warming from greenhouse gases, natural variability, and how Antarctic ice responds is all very complicated....

“…the seeming paradox of Antarctic ice increasing while Arctic ice is decreasing is really no paradox at all,” explains Climate Central’s [Michael] Lemonick. “The Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land, while the Antarctic is land surrounded by ocean. In the Arctic, moreover, you’ve got sea ice decreasing in the summer; at the opposite pole, you’ve got sea ice increasing in the winter. It’s not just an apples-and-oranges comparison: it’s more like comparing apple pie with orange juice.”

It'll cost us Spain.

For those of you still struggling with the concept that the Global Warming models, upon which all of the "science" is based, are complete bunk?

 

Here's an article that will "settle" that issue for you: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/09/17/how-reliable-are-the-climate-models/

 

The comments section is really good as well.

 

Figures, it takes an IT guy with a mathematics masters to take a shot at the definitive work on why the models are obvious BS.

 

My only criticism in any work of this kind, was, is, and will continue to be: CO2 sensitivity is not addressed here. Any discussion of the models, that does not account for the over-estimation of CO2 sensitivity in the models, now that this has been proven, is problematic.

 

But, even if we put the over-estimation of a single parameter aside, the rest of this work is damning enough for any reasonable person to understand: the models are bunk.

 

I wonder if this is qualifies as GreggyT's BS line? If not, and if GreggyT wants to continue to claim "reasonable person" status? Then this article at the very least moves him closer to his BS line, doesn't it?

 

EDIT: Still struggling? Look at the damn graph! It literally shows how they tweaked things to follow the pattern through the 90s! Then, as soon as the models took on their "predicitive" role, they fly off into Idiotland. It's right there in front of your nose.

Great! The next time wawrow comes here and calls us deniers?

 

We get to tell on him to his bosses. We should insist on a paddling. In public. I know just the bar to do that.

Um, so essentially, sea ice decreasing in the Arctic has been marginalized as a "Look! Global Warming!" argument then.

 

You don't get to dismiss one without dismissing the other, according to this guy's own logic. If we extend it: then, Arctic ice increasing in the winter doesn't mean anything, just as much as Antarctic ice decreasing in the summer doesn't mean anything.....this is because the northern and southern hemispheres have opposite seasons.

 

But, utlimately, if Global Warming was really happening, to the degree(important), they claim, ALL ice should be melting or at best holding its position/marginal increases in winter, at ALL times in ALL hemispheres.

 

There is no apple pie here: ice, or the delta in ice, or the delta in ice from last year compared to this year, shouldn't be increasing anywhere, over any timeframe, or during any season.

 

Yet it is.

No do tell. Because if it's really that bad there is likely not a god damn thing we can do at this point to change it.

Almost All US Temperature Data Used In Global Warming Models Is Estimated or Altered

 

We have written many times about the fact that the temperature data used in the alarmists’ global warming models are not original data as measured by thermometers. Rather, they are “adjusted” numbers, consistently changed to make the past look cooler and the present warmer, so that more billions of dollars will flow from the world’s governments to the climate alarmists who serve government’s cause. This is, in my opinion, the greatest scandal in the history of science.

 

This article at Watts Up With That? adds incrementally to that picture. John Goetz analyzes the U.S. temperature data that finds its way into “official” tabulations. This is particularly important because, while the U.S. represents only 6.6% of the total land area of Earth, we account for close to half of the data relied on by the Global Historical Climatology Network. This is a big topic, and you should study the Goetz article in its entirety if you have time. I am still digesting it.

 

But a few highlights are obvious. First, Goetz finds that approximately 92% (or even more, depending on how you calculate it) of US surface temperature data consists of estimated or altered values.

 

Very little raw data finds its way into the warmists’ climate models–which, of course, is the way they want it. Second, the adjustments that are made to the U.S. data consistently skew the numbers as we have described many times before–they try to make the present look warmer, compared with the past.

 

This is the key chart. It shows “the average change to the raw value due to the homogenization model.” In other words, how the actual temperature as recorded by thermometers is being altered before it goes into the alarmists’ models:
