Five-Year Average Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2006. By: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization The story of manmade global warming is over. In reality it never existed except in the minds and hearts of grant-seeking scientists and academics, ratings-obsessed television networks and their misinformed viewers and opportunistic eco-activists. That said, climate change is real. The earth has been coming out of a 450-year cold era known as the “Little Ice Age” since it bottomed out in the late 1600s. Hundreds of studies have verified the existence of this cold period. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tried to erase the climate history of the last 1,000 years in its 2001 report. They replaced all the peer-reviewed studies of past climate with one that fit their needs. The now-discredited “hockey stick” graph showed virtually no significant change in temperature of the world over the last 1,000 years. Conveniently, the graph then showed a rapid and abrupt increase in global temperature during the last 100 years. This is, of course, due to our sin of burning fossil fuels and stoking the fires of global warming. The only evidence that human activity is causing global warming comes from computer models. These models take what the people who develop them know about how the earth’s climate system works and attempt to predict the future. Computer models are not evidence. Evidence is something real, something concrete that is not subject to change. Computer models can be changed by their creator. In fact the creator of the model can make it say whatever the creator wants it to say by adjusting parameters. That is not evidence. In 2007, a study showed the failings of computer model forecasts. The models showed that there exists a global warming “fingerprint” in the air. This fingerprint is a dramatic warming of the atmosphere, not on the ground, but 20,000 to 50,000 feet in the air above the tropics. The 2007 study revealed that real-world temperature observations by weather balloons over a 50-year period showed no global warming fingerprint at all, none. The computer models had grossly overestimated the warming over the tropics. Real world observations trump computer models. Despite this revelation the climate alarmists continued to trumpet the coming doom if we don’t change our sinful ways. To do otherwise would threaten government grants to colleges and universities, research facilities and government agencies. Large corporations are developing eco-friendly technologies to replace fossil fuels and brokerage houses are looking to cash in big time on the evolving carbon trading markets. The United Nations is looking to use climate treaties to wrestle control of carbon emissions from independent nations. This will elevate the United Nations and its leaders to the role of effectively ruling the world’s energy consumption through one world-government authority. The greenhouse/global warming theory states that as more carbon dioxide is pumped into the air, the atmosphere’s ability to vent excess heat to space will diminish. This is the mantra of global warming alarmism. More carbon dioxide means more heat gets clogged up in the climate system and the earth gets warmer and warmer. From this we have conjured up all the various climate disasters, movies, concerts, fixes, and swindles, with their varied political and economic benefactors and victims. Enter 2009 and a new study by Dr. Richard Lindzen and Yong-Sang Choi from MIT that uses temperature data from satellites. As background we start with the predictions. The climate models say that as the oceans warmed by one degree Celsius from the 1980s into the 1990s, the amount of heat escaping to space would decrease. More heat would be trapped in the atmosphere, ultimately due to the burning of fossil fuels. The warming of the oceans was natural and part of the large multi-decadal temperature changes that have been known for years. Now if only we had a way to measure the amount of heat going out to space, then we could get some answers. We do, it’s called the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Satellite (ERBE). It was in orbit above the earth measuring outgoing long wave radiation (heat) for 16 years from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. This is very significant. Now we had a tool, and real world data, that we could compare to the computer model predictions. It is the ultimate climate system umpire. The results from the Lindzen and Choi study were stunning. The computer models, all 11 of them, predicted that as the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the amount of heat escaping to space should decrease by 3 watts per square meter. If this were true, then the theory of manmade global warming would have a strong footing. But the satellite data used by the Lindzen and Choi inflicted a bone crushing blow to this assumption. As the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the measurements showed that the amount of heat escaping to space increased by 4 watts per square meter from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. All the computer models were wrong. If the atmosphere is not trapping heat generated by warming oceans then there is no manmade global warming taking place. The atmosphere compensated for the additional heat by opening the window a little more. The theory of global warming is lying on the canvas bloodied and dying. Alarmists will attempt to revive the carcass with even louder cries of impending doom and calls to repent. But this clamoring will fall on deaf ears. Science will ultimately prove the winner and the world will bury global warming in an icy grave where it belongs. Art Horn is a meteorologist who has worked for CBS, NBC and ABC

The relationship between morality and liberty is a linear one.
I shot down a progressive lisper warmist here at the local bar the other night in front of his dozen or so friends and another 30 people or so hanging out. Wish it'd been video recorded...
Good article! But I'm guessing they'll move the goal posts again - they'll revert back to global cooling.
If this Globe gets any Warmer, I'll fucking freeze to death!!

I like that last one.

But the game is the same. Goldman Sachs (jew.org) will be trading in coral credit derivatives, the IMF (jew.org) and World Bank (jew.org) will be collecting the coral credit taxes and funneling them to the homeland. The bottom line is starvation through taxation. The tribe & their suckpoops have decided that 6 billion of us have to go, whatever the cost.
Exactly. They don't care what mechanism is used to get it done as long as it gets done.

He should have belabored the point over heat not being trapped in the atmosphere which the hottists demand must be true. Otherwise, nice piece.
NASA's Hansen started as a "cooling alarmist" in the 1970s.
Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"
Perhaps.. note how no one talks about the alleged hole in the Ozone layer now? Because not enough human activities could be blamed. So, the question of whether ocean acidity will be the next big scare depends on how many human activities can be blamed on it.

Hello! One of the things that made me doubt Global Warming in the first place - that a trace element of CO2 could have such a profound effect on the world's climate - and the other 99%+ gases were somehow less affective on the climate?
If this Globe gets any Warmer, I'll fucking freeze to death!!
As long as CO2 continues to increase they will use it just as they used temps as long as they appeared to increase. Thing is as our technology evolves, and it will, human contributions should decrease. And there is no evidence that on increase is bad anyway!
"The only thing better than a Federal Reserve audit would be a Federal Reserve autopsy." ~ unknown
I can see a pattern... CO2 reacts with water to create an acid, ie, it's causing acidic oceans. Sounds implausible, but no more so than CO2 causing Global Warming. They'll fall back on SO2 if that fails. I certainly do hope that improvements in technology will reduce REAL environmental problems like pollution of rivers and lakes.
If this Globe gets any Warmer, I'll fucking freeze to death!!
That is already taking place and I would assume a continuation of that progress.
"The only thing better than a Federal Reserve audit would be a Federal Reserve autopsy." ~ unknown
You are correct. So, likewise, I assume it will continue also.

Do you think it might be because that was (and is) complete bs? Ozone is an unstable form of oxygen which requires sunlight. At the poles the sun doesn't shine for six months at a time so naturally the ozone will be depleted over the one where the sun isn't shining. But when the sun is shining where it had been dark for the last six months the ozone "miraculously" fills back in.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yes. Like AGW it was done for profit reasons. The patent on Freon was running out. With the more expensive and patented replacement ready to go, bought and paid for politicians and judges made freon illegal and thus forced the use of the more expensive product.

Meant to ping you to above.

Almost all of these deals have one thing in common--money and lots of it. I guarantee you that if Al Gore thought there would have been more money in telling people that we were headed for another Ice Age, which is what they were telling people about 30 years ago, that is what he would have been yammering about.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. That is exactly my point! lol Ozone is an unstable form of oxygen which requires sunlight. At the poles the sun doesn't shine for six months at a time so naturally the ozone will be depleted over the one where the sun isn't shining. But when the sun is shining where it had been dark for the last six months the ozone "miraculously" fills back in. I wasn't aware of that, interesting. So, back in the days of the Ozone scare, they'd just take satellite images of the Poles at the correct time of year. A bit like the way they now wait around an ice shelf with a camera waiting for a big piece to break off. lol And the avalanche probably gets helped along with a loud noise.. notice how sound is absent from those clips?

Sounds like what the EU have done with tungsten filament light bulbs.

Yes, I have noticed. People can be pretty deceitful when they are looking for grants or cooking the books/lying for what they think is a noble cause.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Deceitful.. and creative when it come to getting money.

Exactly. With LED making the market they have a surplus of CFLs they need to get rid of. So by law you now must by the expensive CFLs.

The ice shelf that breaks off sits in a horse shoe shaped bay. It can't calve the way a normal glacier does. When pressure from increasing ice builds up it shatters like glass and the pieces then are free to float off. Check the satellite photos and you will see.

Every law and regulation these days seems to be designed to give someone an opportunity for a money making racket!

$33 for a 6watt (750 lumen) screw-in LED bulb is certainly pricey enough.
And it has probably always been that way but it needs to stop.

Yes, laws enacted solely for the benefit of the People would be an interesting concept to try out.. lol
