The E-mails on Global Warming and What It Means

As the scribe for the Great Unwashed, I believe that it is necessary to question authority and to remain skeptical about the things that are dished out to us by our betters. And not just the political, big government kind. All kinds. Include big business, big finance, big media, big military and big academia in the mix and their need to justify the things that they have in mind on doing to us. I believe, by and large, that we have always been skeptical of these groups, but I don't honestly think that I have ever noted any great conspiracy of the scope and scale that we are seeing with the global warming science.

Read Climate Change Data Dumped and Climate Change: This is the worst scientific scandal of our generation . Especially the latter. While doing so, remember that the e-mails hacked contained correspondence between the true Big Kahunas of the global warning movement.

We find the following:
  • Field data was massaged to fit preconceived notions. The massaged data was kept and original field data was discarded. It appears that this data supplied the baseline for other studies that supported the global warning movement.
  • The computer models were created to justify a predetermined result and data that did not meet the required result was once again manipulated by inserted hard coding. This hard coding literally made the use of any new or present or future data impossible to use without further coding manipulation. Its predictive use is, to put it lightly, now highly suspect. (Even a yokel like me was required to take FORTRAN in the early 80's and I recognize the term Garbage In-Garbage Out)
  • The data and models were secretly kept. Only the washed Kahunas had access to it. Science requires the release of data and method to allow independent investigation. One's ability to repeat the process proves the model's predictive viability.
  • Only selected peer review was allowed. It wouldn't be prudent to have any skeptics screwing up the expected results.
  • Skeptics were subject to be destroyed and discounted. If you deny global warning, you also deny the Holocaust. This comparison degraded the Holocaust. You know, we have historical evidence of the Holocaust. I haven't seen any evidence that their climate models account for the present cooling phase or any future climates.
  • Freedom of information requests were unlawfully avoided.

Now these e-mails have been available for the past week, but have you seen any of their mention on CNN, ABC, NBC or CBS? Nope? Well, please notice that all of the big institutions that were aforementioned have accepted and promoted this fraud. They just want to change Western Civilization. Global warming is political and administered by the modern politics of academia.

Come to think of it, isn't it strange that the proposed solutions to global warming are almost identical to the economic solutions proposed to alleviate the problems of the proletariat from the 1960's? Of course, we really need an economic solution to a scientific problem.

Now, please also consider the timing of this. We are now just realising that we appear to be in a cooling phase. What if Gore would have won in 2000? Would Enron have been in a perfect position to administer a Cap and Trade program? All the circumstances, at that time, would have been perfect. Just a little thinking with my tin-foil hat in place.

For the great unwashed, as a member in good standing I know that I don't know that the earth is warming. I can also say that I know no one else can say that for a fact either.

Today Is Global Warming Scepticism Day

Are we needing to look at a demand-side global-warming solution?

Read Could We Be Wrong About Global Warming? From the article:

Maybe so, says a new study published online today in the journal Nature Geoscience. The report found that only about half of the warming that occurred during a natural climate change 55 million years ago can be explained by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. What caused the remainder of the warming is a mystery.....The conclusion, Dickens said, is that something other than carbon dioxide caused much of this ancient warming. "Some feedback loop or other processes that aren't accounted for in these models -- the same ones used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for current best estimates of 21st century warming -- caused a substantial portion of the warming that occurred during the PETM."

From all that I have read on global warming and this article, I wonder if we are not looking at a chicken and egg problem here. The popular assumption is that excess carbon dioxide gases are causing global warming. Maybe the excess gases are the result of something else or a lagging indicator of global warming. Personally, I think that there are too many variables involved with climate change and I don't see any single variable as holding precedence.

Even so, my betters only see an economic solution to a scientific problem and using that, they lay all blame at the suppliers of carbon dioxide. For a change, why don't we instead look at the demand side and the consumers of carbon dioxide? Maybe we need to plant a bunch of these?

You Know a Scam When You See It

Professor Glenn Reynolds posted this on his site about the environmentalists not supporting a nuclear power alternative. He makes the following statement that I have often see him repeat:

Hey, I thought we were in a global-warming crisis where we needed drastic measures. This looks more like business as usual to me. Perhaps if they acted like there was a crisis, more people would believe there was a crisis.


Makes you kind of believe that the subject is not settled.
