WHAT GLOBAL
WARMING?
SUCH AS IT WAS, IS OVER
By: Phil Brennan
Fact: All history
reveals that time after time this planet of ours has experienced periods of warming and
periods of cooling. A century of slight global warming, about half a degree, ended in
1998.
Fact: In this
century a global cooling has set in. In 2008 most of the northern hemisphere, except
for Western Europe, is coming out of what most scientists say has been the harshest winter
in decades.
Malta, Israel, China and
India's New Delhi have been subjected to record low temperatures. In Afghanistan, more
than 900 people and 316,000 head of cattle died as a result of bitter cold weather
according to Reuters.
In a letter to U.N.
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon 13 top scientists including one Nobel Prize winner, pointed
to the fact that while CO2 levels have continued to rise, global temperatures have fallen,
dramatically contradicting the claim that CO2 levels cause global warming. They wrote that
the UN Climate change Panel "must be called to account and cease its deceptive
practices - Policies based on False science must be ended."
Meteorologist
Anthony Watts says that the total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a
value large enough, he says, to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past
100 years.
In a news
conference held in Orlando, Florida John L. Casey, Director of the Space and Science
Research Center, issued a landmark declaration on climate change.
“In an opinion
echoed by many scientists around the world, the Space and Science Research Center (SSRC),
today declares that the world’s climate warming of the past decades has now come to
an end. A new climate era has already started that is bringing predominantly colder global
temperatures for many years into the future. In some years this new climate will create
dangerously cold weather with significant ill-effects world wide. Global warming is over
– a new cold climate has begun.” |
Fact: Lack of
Sunspot activity portends the onset of global cooling. The sunspot number should stand
close to 100; instead it's zero
The level of
activity on the Sun will significantly diminish sometime in the next decade and remain low
for about 20 - 30 years," said Ian Wilson, lead author of a study appearing in the
June issue of PASA, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia.
The result is a
strong, rapid pulse of global cooling, said Wilson. "On each occasion that the Sun
has done this in the past the World’s mean temperature has dropped by 1 - 2
C.”
"A
2 C drop would be twice as large as all the warming the earth has experienced since the
start of the industrial era, and would be significant enough to impact global agriculture
output."
Got it? Global
warming, such as it was, is over. Done with. Kaput.
That however, had
failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the global warming fear mongers. It has, instead,
fueled a spate of often ludicrous claims of an impending planetary disaster due to alleged
global warming. As meteorologist and Weather Channel founder John Coleman has said all the
proponents of global warming can do is to lamely suggest that global warming has gone on
vacation and is taking a ten-year hiatus on account of the absence of sun spots. “If
this weren’t so serious it would be laughable” Coleman said.
“It is the
greatest scam in history, he said. "I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it.
Global warming; it is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political
motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in allusion (sic) of rapid global
warming. Other scientists of the same environment whacko type jumped into the circle to
support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus
global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way
to keep the movement going. Soon, they claimed to be a consensus.”
Yet the beat goes
on, and gets more ludicrous with one member of Congress actually telling a bunch of kids
that global warming caused Hurricane Katrina and led to the deaths of Americans in the
Blackhawk Down espoused in Somalia. He forgot to mention it also causes tooth decay, body
odor and underarm perspiration.
Global warming is
clearly over, yet Al Gore and his acolytes keep warning us that the planet is heating up
even as it continues to get colder.
One definition of
insanity is the compulsion to make the same mistake over and over again all the while
expecting a different and successful outcome.
If that suggests
that Al Gore and his fellow global warming fantasitists are nuts, well .......
