OBAMA AND ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’, LIKE A DOG WITH A BONE!!!

Like a dog with his favorite bone, Barry “Almighty”, like many others on the outer fringes of the left, just isn’t willing to let go of ‘climate change’ and the bogus theory that it is somehow all the fault of humans.  Just today, in his 'weekly address', Barry once again took the opportunity to do his best to make the idiotic point, and to warn the American people, that it’s in his opinion that “there’s no greater threat” than ‘climate change’ and that it “poses immediate risks to our national security.”

He said Americans need to work against climate change because “it’s about protecting our God-given natural wonders.”  Barry went on to say, “Wednesday is Earth Day, a day to appreciate and protect this precious planet we call home.”  Barry added, “And today, there’s no greater threat to our planet than climate change.”  As Barry points this Wednesday, April 22, is Earth Day.  It’s also a date significant for another reason in that it marks the birth of Vladimir Lenin.  Just a coincidence?

During his weekly spiel, one that we are still, thankfully, only subjected to by choice and not by some executive order mandated to watch, Barry went on to say, “This winter was cold in parts of our country--as some folks in Congress like to point out--but around the world, it was the warmest ever recorded.”  He went onto say, “And the fact that the climate is changing has very serious implications for the way we live now.  Stronger storms.  Deeper droughts.  Longer wildfire seasons.”

Barry said, “The world’s top climate scientists are warning us that a changing climate already affects the air our kids breathe. Last week, the Surgeon General and I spoke with public experts about how climate change is already affecting patients across the country. The Pentagon says that climate change poses immediate risks to our national security.”  The Surgeon General of which he speaks just happens to be a political appointee who if he did not agree with Barry, would never have been appointed.

According to Barry, we need to counter ‘climate’ change in the interests of families and children.  He said, “This is an issue that’s bigger and longer-lasting than my presidency,” he said. “It’s about protecting our God-given natural wonders, and the good jobs that rely on them.  It’s about shielding our cities and our families from disaster and harm.  It’s about keeping our kids healthy and safe.”  What all of this ‘climate change’ nonsense really is, is nothing more than a leftist crock of shit!

Those of us who continue to refuse to fall for all of this idiotic propaganda are constantly being referred to as being modern-day “Flat-Earthers.”  There have even been calls from the zealots who believe that those of us who dare to deny that ‘climate change’ is taking place be prosecuted.  I would argue that it’s the Barry “Almighties”, the John Kerry-Heinzs and Al Gores who are the true ‘Flat-Earthers’, And while I’m not quite ready to start calling for their prosecution, I’m getting close.

There has ever been a claim considered as being too outrageous, if it would further the ‘climate change’ cause.  So while Barry continues to spew that which is really nothing more than politically motivated rhetoric that is, in reality, devoid of any all actual scientific fact, here are but a few of the ‘facts’ that would seem to make very clear that what the ‘climate change’ alarmists insist upon calling the next great self-inflicted apocalypse to be faced by humankind, bears little resemblance to the truth:    

1) There hasn't been any global warming since 1997: If nothing changes in the next year, we're going to have kids who graduate from high school who will have never seen any "global warming" during their lifetimes. That's right; the temperature of the planet has essentially been flat for 17 years. This isn't a controversial assertion either. Even the former Director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, Phil Jones, admits that it's true.

Since the planet was cooling from 1940-1975 and the upswing in temperature afterward only lasted 22 years, a 17 year pause is a big deal. It also begs an obvious question: How can we be experiencing global warming if there's no actual "global warming?"

2) There is no scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and caused by man:  Questions are not decided by "consensus." In fact, many scientific theories that were once widely believed to be true were made irrelevant by new evidence. Just to name one of many, many examples, in the early seventies, scientists believed global cooling was occurring. However, once the planet started to warm up, they changed their minds. Yet, the primary "scientific" argument for global warming is that there is a "scientific consensus" that it's occurring.

Setting aside the fact that's not a scientific argument, even if that ever was true (and it really wasn't), it's certainly not true anymore. Over 31,000 scientists have signed on to a petition saying humans aren't causing global warming.  More than 1000 scientists signed on to another report saying there is no global warming at all. There are tens of thousands of well-educated, mainstream scientists who do not agree that global warming is occurring at all and people who share their opinion are taking a position grounded in science.

3) Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012: The loss of Arctic ice has been a big talking point for people who believe global warming is occurring. Some people have even predicted that all of the Arctic ice would melt by now because of global warming. Yet, Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012. How much Arctic ice really matters is an open question since the very limited evidence we have suggests that a few decades ago, there was less ice than there is today, but the same people who thought the drop in ice was noteworthy should at least agree that the increase is important as well.

4) Climate models showing global warming have been wrong over and over: These future projections of what global warming will do to the planet have been based on climate models. Essentially, scientists make assumptions about how much of an impact different factors will have; they guess how much of a change there will be and then they project changes over time. Unfortunately, almost all of these models showing huge temperature gains have turned out to be wrong.

“Former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer says that climate models used by government agencies to create policies “have failed miserably.” Spencer analyzed 90 climate models against surface temperature and satellite temperature data, and found that more than 95 percent of the models “have over-forecast the warming trend since 1979, whether we use their own surface temperature dataset (HadCRUT4), or our satellite dataset of lower tropospheric temperatures (UAH).”

There's an old saying in computer programming that goes, "Garbage in, garbage out." In other words, if the assumptions and data you put into the models are faulty, then the results will be worthless.  So I would argue that if the climate models which show a dire impact because of global warming aren't reliable, and make no mistake, they are not, then are not the long term projections they make meaningless as well?  The answer to that would be yes, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the alarmists.

5) Predictions about the impact of global warming have already been proven wrong:  The debate over global warming has been going on long enough that we've had time to see whether some of the predictions people made about it have panned out in the real world. For example, it was Al Gore who predicted that all of the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013.  In 2005, the Independent ran an article saying that the Artic had entered a death spiral.

“Scientists fear that the Arctic has now entered an irreversible phase of warming which will accelerate the loss of the polar sea ice that has helped to keep the climate stable for thousands of years....The greatest fear is that the Arctic has reached a “tipping point” beyond which nothing can reverse the continual loss of sea ice and with it the massive land glaciers of Greenland, which will raise sea levels dramatically. Of course, the highway is still there.”

Meanwhile, Arctic ice is actually up 50% just since 2012. James Hansen of NASA fame predicted that the West Side Highway in New York would be under water by now because of global warming.  If the climate models and the predictions about global warming aren't even close to being correct, wouldn't it be more scientific to reject hasty action based on faulty data so that we can further study the issue and find out what really might be going on, if anything?

So I ask you, who is it that’s really in denial regarding the myth called ‘climate change’, ‘global warming’, climate disruption, or whatever they’re calling it this month?  The claims that ‘climate change’ is actually taking place is nothing more than a scam perpetrated by the enemies of capitalism, most of whom reside on the left.  It’s all nothing more than a worldwide propaganda campaign, and despite the fact that many people are just not buying it, the sounding of the alarm continues.
