No Roof, No Greenhouse -- Duh
New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism. I guess the alarmist computer programmers misunderstood how AGW was supposed to work. They surly missed the people who would examine their work product and not have any grant money they needed to protect.
Truth will set you free.
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA’s Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
“The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show,” Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.”
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.
The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.

What Happens When The President Cuts off 20% of USA Oil Production?
Higher pump prices coming your way this spring -- Unexpectedly. I wonder, why isn't the media talking about this the way they did when Bush was president. In the good old Bush days, it was the nightly lead story on the networks. Now, no mention.
When Obama took office average pomp prices were 1.80 a gallon. Quite and achievement, why not tell people?
Pump prices have risen nearly 9 percent since Dec. 1 and topped $3.10 a gallon this week. That's the highest level since October 2008. The price may rise or fall a little over the next few months, but analysts expect it to range between $3.20 and $3.75 gallon by March and April ahead of the summer driving season.
One of the many mysteries of the leftist media.
And wait until you get your heating bills, with all the global warming we are having ...

Just Because A Few Scientitsts Say It's So Does Not Make It So
Al Gore should spend his time looking for his missing CO2 blankets. Since all 24 of the GCMs say it is supposed to be ringing the Equator, then why is it missing in all scientific attempts to find it.
John Stossel tees up on Global Warming alarmism.
The video of the program is from 2007 ...
Yes, the globe is warming, been doing so since the little ice age. The real question is when does the next glaciation period start, since we have been in the Holocene interglacial period for the last 11000 years. These interglacial are usually about 10-12000 years long.

More AGW Bull....
And John Holdren, that ever nutty Obama 'pseudo-science' advisor, he of reduce the population of Earth fame, wants to shoot particulate pollution into space as a sort of umbrella shielding Earth from the Sun. Hey look at it this way, at least he knows where the heat comes from.
Back in the 70s, when the for sure ice age is coming hysteria was all the rage, the same nuts wanted to coat the poles with carbon black.
Read it all.

Climate Under Obama
Now under Obama, the environmental Left realizes that a federal program to reduce CO2 emissions may not occur this year because of the economy. Here, for example is an exchange between Houston Chronicle science reporter Eric Berger and Rice University’s Neal Lane, a global warming alarmist from the Clinton Administration days:
Q. [Berger] Do you see the Obama administration being able to get a meaningful carbon dioxide emissions reduction bill through Congress?
A. [Lane] I think so. What’s in the way of that, of course, is the economic crisis. Understandably, that has to be dealt with first. So I would expect it will be hard for the administration to move forward as rapidly on climate change as they had intended to do (emphasis added).
So what happened to the idea that a carbon diet would give the economy a nutritious free lunch? We have heard for so long that economists got it all wrong with their high cost estimates of meeting Kyoto.
In his book Cool Companies (1999, pp. 2, 218), for example, Joe Romm stated that self-interested energy savings by "any significant fraction of U.S. companies" would allow America to "meet the Kyoto targets while lowering the nation’s annual energy bill by tens of billions of dollars and accelerating economic growth through productivity gains (emphasis added)."
And here we are a decade later with U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions 15 percent above 1990 levels versus our Kyoto assignment of 7 percent below 1990 emissions. And remember, Kyoto barely begins to reverse out the human influence on climate from the alarmists’ own math.
It is an open secret that a climate bill in 2009 is improbable. States Romm over at Climate Progress:
I can’t find a single reporter, staffer, or wonk who thinks we’re going to have a climate bill this year. As the NYT reported earlier this month, “advisers and allies have signaled that they may put off … restricting carbon emissions.”
Can there be any doubt that the future federal regulatory program–now looking like the year 2010 or later–will be watered down with any big emission reductions scheduled in the out years when the targets can be easily reversed (the economy comes first, remember)? Are Left environmentalists going to be forgiving then too?
Can even climate alarmists have second thoughts about the extent of "market failure" in light of "government failure" and ramp-down their futile crusade? Will some or more rebel against corporate welfare and the T. Boone Pickens’ of the world? Will they think more about the welfare of energy consumers, particularly lower income ones? The climate civil war is one that nobody needs.
And all because of ignorant public, and the ability to push a hoax on the public with their Pravda parrot media. A simple honest debate would sink the whole mess.

Less Fire, More Ice
Environment: The claim that man's activities are heating the planet was weakened when it was learned that a glitch caused satellites to undermeasure the volume of Arctic ice. Doom has been overdone.
The global warming speculation has more holes in it than Al Gore's oversized carbon footprint has square miles. Deeply infected with statistical and common sense problems, the climate change argument is beginning to crumble. Suddenly what many considered irrefutable evidence has more in common with fables than scientific work:
• The famed hockey stick chart that supposedly shows Earth's temperature rising sharply in response to the industrial age is not an accurate measure of what has actually occurred. This stick, used by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to scare the public into believing that human activity is causing the Earth to warm, has been revealed to be in error.
The unmasking happened five years ago when Canadian researchers Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick crunched the numbers and uncovered a fundamental mathematical flaw in the computer program that University of Massachusetts geoscientist Michael Mann used to create the chart.
Mann and his co-researchers also conveniently left the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age out of the temperature chart, a deception, whether intended or not, that renders their entire work unreliable.
• Global temperatures peaked in 1998, a fact that contradicts the assertion that man's continued pumping of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is making the planet hotter. This was not predicted by the climate models that say we're headed for a warm period.
Nor can anthropogenic global warming be explained when introduced into the argument is the fact that 1934, when far fewer carbon-spewing machines existed than we have today, is the hottest year on record.
Global warming alarmists invested heavily in convincing everyone that 1998 was the hottest year and 2006 the third warmest. After correcting for faulty data, NASA had to backtrack.
At the same time NASA made the correction, it also reported that six of the top 10 hottest years are from a period before 90% of the 20th century growth in carbon emissions occurred.
• In 2007, it was learned that the placement of temperature stations across the U.S. had skewed readings. Equipment at a site in Oregon was found to be just 10 feet from an air conditioning exhaust vent. The sensor at another Oregon station is located on a rooftop near an air conditioning unit. A Tahoe, Calif., station is located next to a drum where trash is burned.
A volunteer group has found that 69% of the 807 stations it has rated (of the 1,221 U.S. Historical Climatological Network stations) are located less than 12 yards from an artificial heating source; 11% are located "next to/above an artificial heating source, such a building, roof top, parking lot or concrete surface."
Most interesting is a comparison between two California stations located within 40 miles of each other. The station in Orland is isolated from man-made influences and has recorded falling temperatures since the late 19th century. Meanwhile, the Marysville station, once in a remote area but now surrounded by artificial heat sources, has shown increases in temperatures over a similar period.
• Last week, researchers at the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center admitted that from early January to the middle of this month, "sensor drift" in the satellite monitors used to measure sea ice caused them to underestimate the extent of Arctic sea ice by 193,000 square miles. That's a significant area roughly the size of California.
Will the alarmists and media apologize for spreading fear about shrinking sea ice that was not really shrinking? Not likely. They'll move on to something else to hype. But it won't change the facts on the ground — or in the sea.
I read the IBD first, everyday.

Ike's Second Warning
Ike’s second warning: “…that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”Does anything come to mind when reading this? Smart people will always try and take advantage of lesser, you would be wise to choose careful which smart person you listen to.
“…Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.”
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present - and is gravely to be regarded.”
The first warning fit the liberal idea of a world without conflict, the badly distorted kumbaya vision of the world, but the second forgotten warning, fits the notion of the liberals and their lies about many things cloaked in science. DDT, ALAR, the OZONE hole, all those are liberal hoaxes perpetrated on people with little of no science understanding. And now comes the grandest hoax of them all, the CO2 driven global warming hoax, designed to tax and ration energy for control of man's life on Earth, to the liberals idea of Gaia utopia.
Sadly, it's the later warning, that harbors the tentacles of Marxism in their fond embrace.

What Global Warming Causes
If this film version isn't enough, you can get all the things global warming causes, at least according to what was formerly known as the news media, from this list.
Reject Obamism in all it's forms.

Climate Change Hysteria
The Earth's climate always changes, has been doing so for the last 4.5 billion years or so. How do you know that the last 100 years or so is not a total anomaly?
