                     A FEW COMMENTS ON  ANOTHER INCONVENIENT TRUTH

Whilst listening to a televised discussion I heard a fat politician mumbling on about something he knew absolutely nothing about.That isn’t anything new.  He was saying he agreed with the green new deal  and also that he thought no one should run for high office that didn’t believe in man-made (anthropomorphic) climate change.

His subsequent comments left no doubt that, like Al Gore above, he believed humans are responsible for changes in the earth’s climate and that, in fact, unless ‘we’ immediately change almost everything, the consequences for us and the earth are dire indeed. He went on to make the case that any who disagree are to be labeled “climate deniers.” Guess what, I’m one of them there deniers….

I wrote to him saying that  I’m a lot older than he is and I’ve seen a lot more of this old world than he has or ever will. His education in law and experience in politics doesn’t equip him in the slightest to make serious charges or judgments in the field of climate or meteorology.

I spent 50 years as an airline pilot logging some 28,800 total hours. (that’s, by the way, a bit over 3 years airborne) I’ve lived and worked almost every where there is and you can imagine that I very carefully studied the weather. I’ve watched the climate change and yes, I do know the difference between climatology and meteorology.

Little Greta from Sweden has absolutely no idea what she is talking about and either do any of the European politicians or the throngs of youthful idiots who march about and blather on at Davos about the subject. Equally, Ole fat Al Gore knows nothing about weather or the climate. Those who do know (climatologists) have arrived at no consensus on the subject except that they all agree the climate of today is different from that of yesterday and what we see today will be different from that in the future.

It may well be that the surface temperature of the earth is increasing. It has in the past and will again in the future. The surface temperature of Mars is also increasing. These are incontrovertible demonstrable facts not ‘political opinions’. The temp, or ‘output,’ from the sun has also been increasing. There may be some correlation here but, even that is debated in the scientific community.

There is however absolutely zero creditable scientific evidence that man’s use of internal combustion engines (recip or jet) has any measurable significant impact on the warming of the planet. The burning of fossil fuels likewise have little to do with this fact. This is true despite the ranting and hand-wringing by the inane globalists or our friend Fat Al (where’s my Gulfstream) Gore or the other wild-eyed environmentalists and cow-killing, jet-grounding home-wrecking, economy-destroying Green New deal jackasses. What did Mazie Hirono (or was it AOC) say about building an electric train from California to Hawaii?

Of course, vehicles of all kinds as well as human civilization contribute to “green house” gasses- no one disputes that. The argument is that there is no scientific evidence that this increase is measurably contributing to global warming or damage to the planet to anywhere near the degree espoused by the hysterical Kyoto, Paris and IPCC crowd.  

There is, however, as mentioned, a preponderance of verifiable evidence that the sun is getting warmer and has been for some time. However unpleasant and unpalatable this fact may be to the “back to the stone age- let’s all ride bicycles and eat tofu” groups, it is a fact nonetheless. The increasing temperature of the sun is like turning up the rheostat on a stove.

There have been many changes in the Earth’s climate in the past. During the Middle Ages there was a warming trend followed by the “Little Ice Age” a few hundred years later.  Interestingly, these climatic changes had absolutely nothing to do with humans- unless you want to count the expulsion of methane gasses (farts) from cows. I’m sure that Mr. Gore and the cretin Ms Cortez would like to measure this- and we wish them well.

Listen, 10 years ago scientists were forecasting a 33-foot rise in the oceans due to melting ice and warmer oceans over the next 100 years.

That idiotic prediction, likely promulgated by land speculators trying to buy up Florida and California properties from fleeing residents, has been dramatically changed to about 12″ or maybe none or even less. There is no one but God himself who can say with any authority whether the oceans will rise and by how much! And he isnt talking!

The New York Times ran scary warming stories into the late 1950s but then, in 1975, they reported: “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable.” The world’s media, being almost universally and irrationally, haters of their own civilization created a run on Shapkas and latched on to climate change as a major issue. They tried to scare us all into giving the UN all our money and sovereignty, buying bicycles, eating tofu, (whatever that crap is) get rid of our leather shoes and stop cutting trees.  

A closer look, by actual climate scientists, at the data used in ‘guessing’ about global warming and its effects casts serious doubt on all the “popular” findings. Satellite data as well as measurements of current CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels projects afar less severe increase in global temperatures than earlier erroneously reported.

Forecasts of 3 to 8 degrees with larger regional increases have been tossed around by the crazed ‘chicken little’ (sky is falling) crowd for many past years. More recent data indicate a warming near or below 1 to 2 degrees over the next 100 years, and then, only if carbon dioxide levels double, which is way far from certain.

The overall view of global warming, once the scientific data are examined by qualified individuals, seems to be a hell of a lot less threatening than many wanta-be political leaders and fuzzy-minded bombastic globalists have portrayed. That does not mean we should not be concerned. Greenhouse gases are real, that’s an undeniable fact- what they mean and what they do is far less certain. Interestingly, there are no Hummers on Mars yet, the temperature there is also on the increase and the Martian ice caps, like some of ours, are melting.

More study is needed,

particularly in light of how recent satellite data have differed with the “faked” UN ground weather records. Obviously, we should continue to develop better computer modeling. We have been measuring and recording our climate changes for only about 100 years? The earth has been around for many millions or years. I, am not persuaded of the validity of arguments by those who try to extrapolate and make dire predictions from what comparatively is less than 100th of a second of the earth’s history.

We also should realize that reducing carbon dioxide emissions, as demanded by the Kyoto UN or Paris Accords, is not likely to have any kind of major impact on global climate. Even if these drastic, disruptive and horribly expensive (insane) measures were implemented in the developed world, there would still be enormous increases in the amount of greenhouse gases due to the rapidly increasing populations of India, Asia and Africa (who won’t and can’t cut emissions) operating millions of dirty 2 cycle engines, burning soft coal, breeding thousands more cattle, and dramatically and daily increasing their use of carbon based fuels.

Impossible and incalculable variables:

It is almost impossible for climatologists or meteorologists to predict, with any accuracy, what the weather will be even next month. Predictions for next year’s storms have been wildly inaccurate. One is better served by reading the Farmer’s Almanac. The variables are humongous and, so far, there is no model that shows any ability to reliably make long-range forecasts even remotely close to 100 years into the future. That’s totally nuts! It’s all purely guess work. No one on this earth knows what’s going to happen in 100 years or even next month or next year- any human who says they do is purely and simply a liar, a charlatan or plain stupid!

A climatic disaster is hardly inevitable or even likely. Even a 3 degree increase in global temperatures over the next 100 years most likely would not wreak havoc with the Earth’s climate or sea levels. The economic costs to the developed countries trying to comply with the UN, Kyoto or Paris will by far outweigh any perceived benefits. These nonsensical impossible protocols neglect to even consider this fact and its shrill pointy-headed supporters seem bent on wanting to see Americans and Europeans on bikes and skate boards while the Chinese and Indians are driving Hummers.

The variables and unforeseen, unpredictable occurrences affecting climate predictions are enormous. For example, what do you think the result would be of another Krakatoa-like volcanic eruption? (possible anytime, even this minute) How about if a super-volcano like Yellowstone blew? That would likely be an extinction event! What about a shift in the tectonic plates? (it happens and is happening) California could wind up under 500′ of ocean. There are enormous objects in space that could be discovered in future years heading for earth that are simply too big to do much about. A giant meteor struck the Yucatán Peninsula millions or years ago- it changed everything.

My argument, as concerns humanity and climate, is based on logic and experience. I have no political or financial motives such as clearly the ‘One World Government Globalists’ at the UN most definitely do. Remember, they paid Prof Phill Jones at East Anglia University to fudge years of climate data to make it look like temperatures were suddenly spiking. He was caught before the Copenhagen climate conference and exposed. Then, Christine Susan Stewart, Canadian Minister of the Environment, famously admitted “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony, climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

Kevin Trenberth, a lead author of 2001 and 2007 IPCC report wrote that “None of the models used by the IPCC are initialized to the observed state and none of the climate states in the models correspond even remotely to the current observed state.” The subject itself has been wildly politicized such that today separating the nonsense from facts is almost impossible. The crazed and simple-minded forces of the left use ‘climate change denier’ as a weapon to beat down any who would dare to disagree with them. In such an environment finding logical middle ground is almost impossible.

See ya all later,
