They are so into themselves that they don’t realize the world is laughing at their lies and ignorance.  Zero credibility.

We have to get used to the idea that accurate measurement over a scale of at least 2 centuries is required before conclusions can begin to be drawn -and our society is WAY too impatient for that!

I have a mid-twenties son-in-law who argued vehemently that it is hotter now than it has ever been. For him this may be true -but I have well more than twice as many summers to compare to -and for me it is false. You have to check the data -because both memory and perceptions differ.

Years ago while attending university a friend and I drove several hours to a beach on the lee side of Lake Huron during high winds -because I remembered that on such days the resulting waves were “over my head”.

Upon arrival we were indeed impressed by the waves -but realized that they were nowhere near “over our heads”. Counting back I realized that my head had been substantially lower at the age of six than it was now…!  Perception is everything!

Fortunately on matters relating to climate often the data is actually available -even if Al Gore fails to look at it.

Take for example sea levels. Look in Google under sea level records and you will find that the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) keeps actual RECORDS of sea level change!

Ole Al Gore (may his name be praised) will be surprised to find that in most locations on the east coast the rise has been in the area of 2.5 centimetres -not the 30 feet he predicted! In fact I guess you could say he multiplied the problem by 360 to get our attention.

And if you check along tha Alaska panhandle you may find an equivalent DROP!

Don’t ask me to explain how this can be -I am a simple fighter pilot not a climatic scientist -but I believe these figures WAY more than I believe Gore!

Basically we need to make rational decisions before taking radical actions. What a concept!

Also -we have to seriously question whether at present we are either capable of having any useful effect -or capable of discerning what change we should make.

Was 1972 so perfect that it should be cast in concrete? Was 1984 the perfect year? How about 1990?

You pick a year and I will show you some area of this vast continent that would not wish to even go there.

Let us be a little realistic here. Balloonists used to have an expression “We fly…God navigates”

In terms of climate -we watch…God performs!

Hundreds of years ago a French philosopher said
“L’homme propose, Dieu dispose”.

Those Frenchies may not be much at fighting but they sure can talk! Did they already know about global warming? Or had they somehow predicted Al Gore?

Uncanny!

Even they don’t believe what are saying, but the difference is that they are paid with lots of dollars for doing… doing what?

You guys are on the money…speaking of money, Al Gore stands to make the most of almost anyone involved who is not in the Government, or the U.N.

The EPA, CRU, MET, and others have admitted to errors, the climategate emails were pretty damaging for their cause. In fact the MET wants to start over completely, sadly the CRU destroyed most of the data.

Steven Chu was pumping $18 Billion a year into the research just to the U.N. alone. I am more concerned with people (so-called Scientists)…the head of the CRU, Phil Jones has stepped down, and has given an interview with the BBC, then admitted there has been no significant climate change.

Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball notes that John Holdren turned up in the Climategate files belittling the work of astrophysicists Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the Solar, Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division. Holdren put “Harvard” in sneer quotes when mocking a research paper Baliunas and soon published in 2003 showing that “the 20th century is probably neither the warmest nor a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium.” First, deny. Next, deride…typical!

Climate change opponents say the E-mails indicate that climate change researchers—including Penn State Prof. Michael Mann—exaggerated or fabricated global warming data. And, according to the report, some E-mails indicate that the director of the research unit in question may have contacted researchers and asked them to ‘delete certain E-mails.’” – Paragraph Credit to Washington Post

Yvo de Boer, head of the UN’s climate change body (UNFCCC) for the last four years, has unexpectedly resigned in a move which could further set back global negotiations.

In its 2007 report, the Nobel Prize-winning Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said: “Glaciers in the Himalayas are receding faster than in any other part of the world and, if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate. The initial report was done by Scientist V.M. Kotlyakov, who has not admitted he was wrong, he says he meant 2350, still we don’t even know if the Earth will still be here in 340 years, it is more likely that an asteroid could destroy the Earth before any other event, with the possible exception of our planets weakening of the magnetic shield giving way to the Sun’s solar flares in 2012, there is a real possibility that if the shield does not hold, it would not only cause a world wide EMP, but the collapses, radiation could be enough to kill most humans and other animals.

There is infighting within the IPCC, scientists have released who disagree.
