The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is in a bit of a quandary. People have learned that global warming is a scam so they’re trying to reshuffle the deck chairs to see if that’ll save the Titanic.
Readers of the Times and the Telegraph are watching the IPCC’s credibility disappear before their eyes. The former head of IPCC has publicly said the organization risks losing all credibility if it can’t clean up its act. The head of the largest British funder of environmental research has joined the head of Greenpeace UK in criticizing the IPCC. The Dutch government has demanded that the IPCC correct its erroneous assertion that half of the Netherlands is below sea level. Actually, it’s only about a quarter. A prediction about the impact of sea level increases on people living in the Nile Delta was taken from an unpublished student dissertation. The report contained inaccurate data about generating energy from waves and about the cost of nuclear power (this information was apparently taken without being checked directly from a website supported by the nuclear power industry). The deeply environmentalist Guardian carries a story documenting the decline in both public and Conservative Party confidence in the need to address global warming.
So the IPCC is looking to redo how it fabricates gathers data. After all, there are billions of dollars at stake. Global Warming is a huge business. Nothing rings the scam register more than guilt gelt. The problem with the whole AGW pitch is it’s based on logical fallacies and computer models written on false assumptions, namely that CO2 is causing climate change. Be sure to watch the following clip, in which Lord Monckton eviscerates Al Gore and the other global-warming hoaxers who refuse to come out of their holes and fight like men:
Man made CO2 is an insignificant part of the earth’s atmosphere. The warmists are using falsified results to push their arguments, as Climategate demonstrated. Interviews with key climate pushers like Al Gore revealed that the end goal of this scheme is global governance with the creeps who polluted Copenhagen with their presence as our future overlords. Not appealing in the least.
Couple that with a record winter storm this year, which belies everything the warmists have been claiming previously. Yet now, climate shills like the alleged news channel, MSNBC, are claiming the storms are “proof” that warming is happening. Here is their convoluted and hilarious spin:
Hysterical MSNBC commentary-clown Keith Olberman even went so far as to state that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh were “trying to kill us with global warming disinformation.” Apparently he hasn’t looked at the evidence that the warmists are trying to rob us with the very technique he describes.
MSNBC lacks any qualifications as a news channel because it is only interested in disseminating propaganda from the progressive elite. It does not bother to present different sides, or question official statements or investigate the veracity of claims. As you can see from the clips, they merely rattle off a litany of talking points and insults for those who disagree with them. Thus they have the lowest ratings on TV News. Olbermann’s are even declining.
The BBC, being funded by tax dollars, has been pushing one side of the Climate Change debate from the start. But since Climategate and a series of revelations have torn apart the IPCC’s claims, it’s trying to cover itself. They’re beginning to actually do a measure of journalistic investigation into the claims. This should have been done from day one. But the media today only exists to support the power structure unless their bottom line is threatened.
That day has come. The media has to deal with it or suffer the fate of MSNBC which is headed toward Air America territory.
The warmists aren’t going down without a fight. They have a lot invested in this, and they have an ally in President Obama. They all had such grand plans. But reality has a nasty way of turning plans into fool’s errands. The public is increasingly not interested in when they’re selling.

Two humorous cartoons on Global Warming and Climategate at http://drawfortruth.wordpress.com/category/climat...
Don't oversell it. You risk losing credibility the way the warming advocates are doing.
How do you see it being oversold Pablo?
I've known this was a scam since day 1. First off scientists never, ever talk about real science using phrases such as "consensus," or "settled." Instead real scientists talk like "to the best of our knowledge at this time."
The real crime is this all based on a correlation rather than a casual relationship. A correlation might be if you checked the diets of every one who died last year, and found 95% of them had eaten carrots, there fore carrots cause death.
The correlation they used was since C02 has increased because of humans, while at the same time, temperatures appeared to have risen, there fore its humans causing it. There is no casual relationship established. Bring that fact up and you'll be accused of being a flat earther or in bed with big oil.
The global warming gang(sters) must struggle terribly with self-loathing, believing that with every breath that they exhale, they contribute to their own demise by contributing to catastrophic climate change.
So, let me get this straight – by pummeling the lies of the "warmers" – people that are neither "warmers" or "non-warmers" will become uh or stay, er – neither "warmers" or "non-warmers" because both sides are to bellicose?
They'll just tune out and walk away. Meaning the "non-warmers" WIN? Cool.
Lets' OVER SELL IT!!!!
Maybe they should do us all a favor and just hold their breaths and save the rest of us.
I've noticed all but most intellectually challenged of AGW trolls have been strangely missing lately…

This is precisely what happens when ignorant people don't have real jobs. They feed on their own frenzy while the regular folks look at the stupidity of those people. There is no cure; they cannot hold regular jobs so they are lost to humanity.
I'll tell my grandchildren about the time when some very bad people tried to trick us and steal all our money by pretending that the summer and winter were not really the summer and winter, but imaginary.
The kids won't believe it, and sometimes neither do I.
"We dance the dance of the insane", my favorite Boogie Bunneez quote. Imagination is real to those who have faith, and the spreading of faith is best when the converts jump in with both feet to believe. And a converted anything is always the most annoying, just think newly skinny person's opinion of an overweight lady. They pooshah any arguement no matter how logical, truthful or convincing. Soon will be the lawsuits to pay for more green technology such as underground windmills.
Yes, that correlation/causation argument is a logical fallacy. So is the appeal to experts (all the experts agree) and appeal to the majority (everyone believes it so its true). I could go on. Whenever anyone uses logical fallacies as the foundation of their arguments, you know they are lying.
It's being oversold simply by being pointed out according to the Left.
"Obama's Stimulus Creating Green Jobs Overseas"
Thursday, 11 Feb 2010 10:22 PM
By: John Rossomando
"Although Barack Obama and other Democrats touted the $787 billion stimulus package as a way to create green jobs that would put Americans back to work, new reports show the spending package has mostly created green jobs for foreign workers.
U.S. Department of Energy statistics show 79 percent of the $2.1 billion in stimulus money allocated for wind energy has been paid to foreign manufacturers."
http://newsmax.com/InsideCover/obama-stimulus-gre...
This thread is most appealing to me; you and Mr. Hudnall are absolutely correct that by simply observing the obvious logical fallacies of any argument one can safely judge the validity of the argument even without being well-read on the subject at hand. Global warmist proponents hide behind the shield of complexity surrounding climatology, a science that has stubbornly resisted straight forward analysis, arguing "trust us … global climatology is too complicated for the public to understand." Yet the arguments they make are almost universally fashioned with bait-and-switch fallacies and other logical inconsistencies.
The king (self-fashioned) is wearing no clothes, a fact finally becoming apparent even to the Luddites among us.
What is so disheartening is that so many were fooled so easily. While this generation has at its fingertips more information than any time in history, the critical thinking skills required to comprehend and reason have been almost bread out of generations of public school attendees. Such a waste! Such a true calamity! It's like a mountain of gold sitting before us we can't figure out how to spend …
Your comment brings to mind a scripture – a prophecy – something about how those who conspire against God will think to "change the times and seasons." I never understood that until applying it to these recent attempts to steal our sovereignty by "changing the times and seasons" with the global warming argument.
They also never refer to any findings as "Science" or "Physics." Like when they say that "The consensus is that Science says the earth is warming" or "The Physics are settled." Most people with backgrounds in rigid and rigorous technical fields avoid such loose language. It's as if they believe that Science and Physics are names of people who may be quoted. "Science says…."
Your attempts to lampoon faith are shallow and ill considered. Without exercising faith, day to day living would be utterly impossible. There is simply no provable correlation for just about anything we behold on a macro scale, as quantum physics has so aptly demonstrated. When one cannot connect the dots by provable cause and effect we are left with exercising faith to guide our path.
But perhaps your point was that most religious believers are, in effect, lazy and put too much emphasis on simple faith. In this I will readily agree with you, and remind them that the scriptures *never* advocated faith alone as a strategy for life. "Faith without works is DEAD," the apostle wrote, lest we foolishly think faith alone will light our way.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water; faith is a necessary component of even the most rigid scientific inquiry.
You had better quit it James there’s a lot of money, aka guilt gelt…at stake! Owlgore is thuper therial this time!
The warmist hysterics don't have facts on their side so Gore, not wanting to lose out on trillions to be gained in carbon trading, is now pushing climate change as a religion. This way true-believers don't need facts, all they need is faith!
Please see my blog post and follow the links. Gore is working with universities and churches to propagandize young and gullible minds via climate as a religion, complete with prayers.

Something I've been saying for a long while now.
These people need a specter to frighten Governments and businesses into funding their wacky projects. Global cooling… Fossil fuel exhaustion… Y2K… Global warming… Climate change… what's next? Godzilla attack?!
This isn't the verse you're referring to but I think it's highly apropos…
"Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase
do not set your heart on them.
One thing God has spoken
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong
and that you, O God, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done."
Psalm 62:8-12
In the words of our dear leader, "let's get in their face".
i predict mikatollah will be checking in soon. someday when the 'Venona Files' for AGW come out showing that everyone at the top knew it was a huge scam, he'll still be bitterly clinging to his 'Repent! The End is Near!' narrative…
"Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done."
I like it. As I wrote earlier, 'faith without works is dead.'
BTW, here is the verse I was thinking about (I think):
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Don't know if it applies or not. These types of prophecies are always hard to consider, and I doubt if anyone truly understands them well enough to apply them accurately.
Thanks for posting this and it can't be overstated. A lot of very big fish have invested a lot of money in this scam, and they're not going to just sit there and watch while their pond dries up (or, more likely, freezes solid).
Also – our ever-benevolent political class has now figured out a way quite literally to tax anything that moves, and they're not going to just sit there and watch as this most precious political dream is snatched away at what should have been their moment of triumph.
Keep the heat on (heh), people. If we have to resort to tar and feathers, or even torches and pitchforks, so be it.
They. Must. Be. Stopped.
Wow they have President -Zero on their side. Good everything Obama has touched has turned to crap. He is the kiss off death with an ego the size of the planet. And a wife with an ass to match his ego in size. By the way the guy in the first video looks like Rodney Dangerfield LOL.
That's the one. I was looking in Isaiah…. : )
And in trying to understand the prophecies, I've tried to 'lean not on your own understanding', but trust in the Holy Spirit to guide me.
Pleasure discussing Scripture with you. God Bless Always
WHERE IS THAT A$$HAT GORE HIDING?
WE NEED THE GORON TO EXPLAIN THAT GLOBAL WARMING $HIT TO US AGAIN…….
LEFTISTS, LIBERALS, PROGRESSIVES, AND SOCIALISTS LKE THE GORON………
MUST BE STUCK ON STUPID TO BELIEVE IN MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING.
… quite so, I'm embarrassed to have left them off my list particularly with how many lives have been lost around the world to malaria due to lack of DDT use.
I'm keeping mikatolla busy on another thread. Raw politics.
Wanna drive a 'glo-warm' crazy? Ask them "What's the temperature SUPPOSED to be?" The results are hysterical! Typically after an hour of stuttering like Obama sans teleprompter, their psudo science laced invectives devolve into a high power string of obscenities that would make R. Lee Ermy green with envy. But they still can't answer the question even though they'll babble on the non-existent dangers of global warming.
This is another prime example of people not taking a post in context, global warming is a religion, based mostly on faith. Faith is needed to get through everyday, it okay for a hypothesis, but if not provable must be thrown out. Just because it cannot be understood now, does not mean it cannot be later. Besides Weapon Brown will kick Ca1vin's butt in issues to come.
Jamesb lol,strangely, you knew who I was referring to…
Are you able to access Big Government?
Right Now? I'can't open the page…
Ya, it opened. I told him I was "keeping him busy" – he's an old Air Force pilot like my Dad so I'm interseted in what makes him tick and why.
Yes, that is the pattern. You may have noticed last year a lot of lefties like Michael Moore were using the Jesus argument to try to sway people (Jesus would have agreed to [fill in the blank]).
My new Fascists series, part 2 deals with the way religion is used in politics.
Very Interesting discussion. The one thing to keep in mind when considering any prophecy is that it can only truely be understood after, not before the event. It is also in the nature of prohecies to be misunderstood before it comes to pass. Another mystery to ponder.
Excellent point.
One example that has always fascinated me is the fact that some of his contemporaries rejected Jesus as Messiah because they knew the prophecy stated the Messiah would be from Bethlehem, and they knew Jesus was from Nazareth.
Why God allowed this confusion I don't know – perhaps to find those who would accept Jesus on the power and truth of His ministry alone?
As you say, another mystery to ponder…..Peace
I love Lord Monckton. He's been and continues to be a stalwart on this scam and it hasn't been easy for him.
You'll never win a debate with the brainwashed global warming crowd. It's become a religion with them.
You say: Yeah, but the data collected was from weather stations that either do not exist, or haven't worked for decades.
They say: But the data from stations "near" them recorded….whatever they say (but you can't see the data) and most of them were placed next to heat exchangers on buildings.
You say: But your climate models don't work unless you negate water vapor, and assign an artificial weight to a trace gas (co2). Even then, the don't give accurate predictions.
They say: Well…the model could be accurate…and what if YOU are wrong.
You say: It's not even science. You start with a hypothesis, and ignore the fact that the data does not support your hypothesis.
They say: Well…what if YOU are wrong.
Face it, you can't convince them their God does not exist. It has become well beyond faith now. They have become so desperate, they won't even acknowledge data real science like Geology provides (and even a geologist will tell you they don't have all the answers…..and never did…and if you've got something else….they'll listen…maybe even help you write a paper if your idea is sound).
All you can do is keep them from doing harm, pat them on the head, and say…..that's nice….now go outside and play.
I like your thinking, Dr. Scanion.
For readers wanting to get an even larger perspective, I encourage them to watch the documentaries "Fall of the Republic" and "The Obama Deception" on youtube. You may never be the same.
And I hope the prophecy listed by blogger OGolly does NOT apply, bc that means our nation will be given over to this perversion "for a time." Yikes.
BANNING DDT HAS RESULTING IN TREMENDOUS SUFFERINGS AND

Col 1:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
God in His infinite love, made a time for the redemption of the Gentiles….The old Testament Jews were saved by their faith in the coming Messiah, who would bring the salvation to the world. But they walked away from God's plan many times….still many Jew have come to know Jesus during the age of the Church.
The Gentiles of today are saved by their faith in believing in the Messiah's Jesus, who had come to offer Himself as the one true sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, Jesus being the God/man, perfectly God and perfectly man, without sin or blemish, taking upon Himself all of the sins of the world. God didn't just come for the Jews, He came for all mankind. The Jews rejected Jesus as Messiah…but they will soon know that they missed the true Messiah. For one is coming that will fool the Jews into thinking he is the one…but when he sacrifices an abomination of desolation, the Jews will know they missed the true Messiah and they will again receive salvation.
Its very complicated to explain really, but God in His justice made a time for the Gentiles to be saved. It is such an in depth study…it makes my head spin. And also makes me wonder if we are soon heading to the end days…..
It's been going on since the 1960s with the DTT scares, then the population bomb, nuclear power scares, etc
er…DDT
If scientists across all disciplines want to retain what little creditability is left after the damage done by their climatological colleagues, they should rein those colleagues in and tell them that the exaggerations and distortions that have until now increased their funding at the hands of scientifically-illiterate politicians will soon have the opposite effect.
As the world continues to fail to warm as predicted (or, for the past 15 years, at all), fewer and fewer will believe the exaggerations, and more and more will resent the trillions of dollars that have been wasted on bogus research providing bogus backing for what is now visibly a bogus scare
This has got to be THE most expensive NON-PROBLEM situation that has ever come down the pike. It's all made possible by to a bunch of stupid, lazy, naive MSM "journalists", who run cover for all these charlatans and fraudsters…Most of the press do it unwittingly…
"Most of the press do it unwittingly…"
Most of the press do it willingly….
There, fixed that for you.
Thanks for the correction, teach…But I meant UN-wittingly, when it comes to climate science because the "journalists" are stupid, lazy, and naive, taking the statements of the corrupt scientists at face value on everything…Some are complicit…..But IMO, most do it unwittingly….
the funny thing is the politicians believe that by taxing us they can solve this so called global warming.
the good thing is that people are starting to distrust the media and the governments, it is very obvious that the media has a communist agenda, the journalist seem to be nothing more than puppets spouting the party line.
there is no investigative reporting unless you are on the wrong team.
i miss Bush, what a class act. obama has shown america how distorted the left really are after being sold a bag of lies by the media. we have learned our lesson.
The whole concept is so blatantly fraudulent to anybody that has spent a small amount of time understanding our geologic past. The earth has a much greater chance of freezing us to death as it has done 3 times in the past 50,000 years. On each occasion, the island of Manhattan was covered by a glacier a mile high. The last ice age to accomplish this feat was only 10,000 years ago. Obviously the earth's temperature has both cooled much more dramatically than any time period these morons are basing their AGW theory on, and has warmed much more dramatically. In all cases these temperature swings were accomplished without the presence of the internal combustion engine. So man had nothing whatsoever to do with it. The only way that this theory has any chance of holding up to scientific scrutiny is if it can be demonstrated that the warming periods allegedly caused by human activity are unprecedented. Clearly they are not unprecedented if you examine earth's history farther back than they are willing to look.
The Lord Monckton interview was really great. I didn't realize that $300k was the going rate for stupidity and that certainly describes Al Gore and his ilk. Lord Monckton would cut Gore's answers to pieces. Bed wetter is a great description of the global warming alarmist
Truth is "Black and white" and to the point! Lies are colorful and dramatic, limited only by the songs the connivers mind can conjure up to sing, over and over again!!!!!! Of course they won't debate, they must have time to practice their rebuttal, it must be kept within their framework of control!!
Awesome blog, Avril! Great Halloween costume. I have a similar upbringing, lived in Iran in the 70's, experienced the same sort of freedom as a child. You are on my permanent blog list.
Question everything!
Thanks for the post Hud! I watched all the Monckton segments. Keep up the great work!
Gentle Readers,
I agree! It's much simpler to just point out that human CO2 emissions currently comprise only 3.6% of total atmospheric CO2 emissions, with 96.4% from natural sources, and less than 3.6% historically going back to 1850 which is the time frame under consideration at the IPCC.
So, if anyone wants to believe that CO2 emissions do cause climate change, human emissions would account for less than 3.6% of whatever effect CO2 emissions have had, and that is assuming CO2 is a climate driver.
These 32,000 scientists say human CO2 emissions do not cause global warming http://www.petitionproject.org .
Kindest Regards,
John
Gentle Readers,
According to the HADLEY CENTRE ( which promotes the idea of anthropogenic global warming ) temperatures have increased by less than 8/10 of 1 degree since 1880. That's less than 1 degree in 130 years. This is within the standard deviation for most of the data sets and well within the norm.
As the data collection sites and technology ( we're using different thermometers now ) have changed and urbanization has affected at least some data collection, it is far more reasonable to believe that the very slight, 8/10 of 1 degree temperature change simply reflects ordinary variations in data collection, improvements in data collection and technology, ordinary, non-anthropogenic climate change, or some combination of those.
To say there has been an 8/10 of 1 degree change in 130 years is really to say there has been no change at all. Temperatures are normal.
Kindest Regards,
John Lepant

“Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire or Where Global Warming is Really Coming From”
Life Extension News Volume 12, No. 1, Feb. 2009
http://www.life-enhancement.com/article_template….
According to a report in Environment & Climate News,(1) James Hansen, astronomer and director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) has been caught doctoring temperature data from California “to make a long-term cooling trend look like a warming trend.” The article explains that the temperature history (as reported by the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) for Santa Rosa, California) was examined by California meteorologist Anthony Watts and found to show a long-term decline, especially since the 1930’s. Watts then examined the temperature history for the same town as reported by GISS; the GISS report was completely different, reporting a long-term increase in Santa Rosa temperature. “USHCN reports a decline of nearly one-half degree Celsius during the twentieth century, while GISS reports a temperature increase of one-half a degree.”(1)
The article goes on to explain that the USHCN measures temperature by “taking daily readings from an immobile temperature station,” while GISS collects the USHCN temperature readings and then subjects them to adjustments (using methods which Hansen will not reveal), allegedly to correct for artificial influences such as land-use changes. The urban heat island effect (as Santa Rosa’s population increased from slightly more than 10,000 in 1905 to about 158,000 today) would have been expected to result in warmer temperatures (unrelated to global influences) and, hence, to adjust for the urban heat island effect would require the long-term temperature record should be adjusted downward, not upward. Yet, GISS is adjusting the raw temperature data upward instead of downward.
In the article on the facing page,(2) it described how “[i]n 2007, statistical scientists showed GISS had been artificially inflating U.S. temperatures by 0.15 degrees Celsius since the year 2000.” Furthermore, “[i]n 2008 statistical scientists showed GISS had falsely reported October 2008 was the warmest October on record when, in fact, it was a quite normal temperature month.” NASA later admitted that the “Warmest October” claim had been wrong.(3)
