I recently
received an unsigned email about my Sierra Club commentary in which I pointed
out that it opposes traditional forms of energy and made a passing reference to
Obama’s lie that “climate change”, the new name for global warming, was now "settled science.”
Global
warming was never based on real science. It was conjured up using dubious
computer models and we were supposed to believe that the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change could actually predict what the climate would be
twenty, fifty, or a hundred years from now.
The writer
of the email disagreed with me. “lol you are a f**king idiot. you don’t believe
there is global warming going on? you need to let your prejudices go and stop
basing your views on what your political stance is…do you research you f**king
faggot.”
Now, not
everyone who believes in global warming is as rude as this individual and
certainly not as ignorant, but his message suggests that those who do not
believe in it do so as the result of “a political stance” when, in fact, our
views are based on science.
Anyone
familiar with my writings knows that a lot of research is involved. In my case,
it dates back to the late 1980s when the global warming hoax began to be
embraced by politicians like Al Gore who made millions selling worthless
“carbon credits” while warning that “Earth has a fever.”
A small
army of scientists lined their pockets with government grants to produce data
that supported the utterly baseless charge that carbon dioxide was causing the
Earth to warm. They castigated other scientists or people like myself as
“deniers” while we proffered to call ourselves sceptics. They were joined by
most of the media that ignored the real science. And the curriculums in our
schools were likewise corrupted with the hoax.
Then,
about 17 years ago the Earth began to cool. It had nothing to do with carbon
dioxide—which the Environmental Protection Agency deems a “pollutant” despite
the fact that all life on Earth would die without it—and everything to do with
the SUN.
A few days
after the email arrived, two-thirds of the contiguous U.S.A. was covered by
snow. As this is being written, Lake Superior is 92% frozen, setting a new
record. As of February 5, the entire Great Lakes system was, according to the
Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, 77% covered with ice.
On
February 1st, NOAA and NASA held a joint press conference in which
they released data about 2013’s global surface temperature. They made reference
to a “pause” in the temperature that began in 1997. Dr. David Whitehouse,
science editor for the BBC, noted that “When asked for an explanation for the
‘pause’ by reporters, Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA and Dr. Thomas Karl of NOAA
spoke of contributions from volcanoes, pollution, a quiet Sun, and natural variability.
In other words, they don’t know.”
Both of
these government agencies, along with others like the EPA and the Department of
the Interior are staffed by people who understand that their employers are
deeply committed to the global warming hoax. One should assume that almost
anything they have to say about the “pause” is based entirely on politics, not
science.
Then, too,
despite the many measuring stations from which data is extracted to determine
the Earth’s climate, there is a paucity of such stations in COLD places like
Siberia. Stations here in the U.S. are often placed in “heat islands” otherwise
known as cities. If you put enough of them close to sources of heat, you get
thermometer readings that produce, well, heat.
People in
the U.S., England, Europe and other areas of the world who do not possess Ph.ds
in meteorology, climatology, geology, astronomy, and chemistry have begun to
suspect that everything they have been told about global warming is false.
Between 1300 and 1850 the northern hemisphere went through a mini-ice age.
After that it began to warm up again. So, yes, there was global warming, but it
was a natural cycle, not something caused by human beings.
Nature doesn’t care what we do. It is far more
powerful than most of us can comprehend.
This
brings us back to the Sun which determines, depending on where you are on
planet Earth, how warm or cold you feel. The Sun, too, goes through cycles,
generally about eleven years long. When it is generating a lot of heat, its
surface is filled with sunspots, magnetic storms.
When there
are few sunspots, solar radiation diminishes and we get cold. Scientists who
study the Sun believe it may encounter another “Maunder minimum”, named after
astronomer Edward Maunder, in which the last “Little Ice Age”, between 1645 and
1715, occurred. The Thames in England froze over as did the canals of Holland
froze solid.
There is
no global warming and scientists like Henrik Svensmark, the director of the
Center for Sun-Climate Research at Denmark’s National Space Institute, believes
that “World temperatures may end up a lot cooler than now for 50 years or
more.” I agree.

I don't know too much about *The World* but I know it's 30° here in Rowlett Texas and getting colder... Ice and sleet tonight, chance of snow tomorrow... I don't know how much more *GloBull Warming* I can stand...
Right-on Alan,
Your blog hit the spot!!
Thank you, Fletch.
And, Fred, bundle up!

Great read, Alan, as always, debunking the Global Warming swindle, the biggest hoax in the history of mankind, with the goal to destroy our freedom and wealth.
Alan,
As I have posted before a lot of climate issues, prior and present, are addressed in E. Kirsten Peters book 'The Whole Story of Climate'.
People like your foul mouthed emailer would do well to read the book, if his mind isn't closed.
Anonymous Foul Mouth emailer is typical of the brainwashed PC Leftist idiots who fall for the Big Lie of Global Warming in much the same way as the 1930s moron generation of Germans believed that the Jews were responsible for every bad thing happening in the world.
God save the United States from the low I.Q. half of our population who are too stupid to understand the truth!
I could probably compare global warming with cataracts. Those either without them or who have had them removed can see clearly with no effort or encouragement to do so, while those who are looking through a heavy mist can only see what others tell them is there. Sadly at the moment those of us with clear sight are in a great minority whatever the actual temperature does or doesn't do, with absolutely no help from the media who are leading all the blind people off a cliff telling them arrant lies.
There are 2 things that tend to discredit science: statistical meta studies, and modelling. The great Enrico Fermi reportedly observed: With a model, I can prove the moon is made of cheese (or words to that effect, maybe he said, "formaggio".
