Crazy Bastard

... James Hanson the self promoting climate fraudster went on CBC and called our government "neanderthals" .....

We all know how credible Hanson is .... and we should also know that the CBC will take anyone willing to bash our non-liberal government.
But this is a two-fer ... for the morons at the taxpayer funded CBC ... climate bullshit and anti-conservative ranting from a lunatic socialist climate activist.

CBC .... all LIberal ... all the time. And frequently playing soap box and megaphone to freaks and frauds .... so long as they hate conservatives.

On the Manne gang of frauds...

WHY WON’T THESE EASILY-MANIPULATED MORONS AGREE WITH ME?

I'll tell you why ....

It's really as simple as this... not everyone bows to self proclaimed authority. There remains in this world people who actually consider the reasons a self proclaimed authority makes declarations and those same people are often capable of spotting the flaws in a story.

There are suckers in this world and there are people who dislike being used ... ie, Not Suckers.

Every con game has a theme and the need to stick to that theme is paramount to the fraudster.
When a group of people are won over by a con they become fanatic about it.
When a fraudster has his army of fanatics in play the fraudster(s) will never allow themselves to be questioned. Instead, the fanatics are relied upon to derail those who are questioning the game.

The fanatics wage the war of words on behalf of the fraudsters and manipulators. One of the weapons they  have in their quiver of crooked arrows is the LABEL. The only purpose of the label is to provide a simple distraction to keep the otherwise uninformed or uninterested from considering the point of view that they fear being considered.

What is a "denier"?  In the matter of the climate science fraud it is synonymous with Not a Sucker.

BTW - On the matter of people like Bill McKibben who writes:

"The planet does indeed have an enemy – one far more committed to action than governments or individuals. Given this hard math, we need to view the fossil-fuel industry in a new light. It has become a rogue industry, reckless like no other force on Earth. It is Public Enemy Number One to the survival of our planetary civilization …"

This is what the fanatics do....

Is Your Little Brat an I.E.D. ?

I.E.D. latest and greatest from the nanny statists and zombiedrug peddlers at Harvard.

What desperation these clowns must feel to publish something .... anything!

And how clever to dress their new pet theory about uncontrolled brats and obnoxious behaviour. Choosing the acronym IED for this piece of faux scientific poo ... a sure way to attract the attention of the idiots in the mainstream media ... and get the buzz going about their "discovery".

Let's be clear ... this is nothing but pop science from people who need to make a name for themselves.


“If we can detect IED early and intervene with effective treatment right away, we can prevent a substantial amount of future violence perpetration and associated psychopathology,” Ronald Kessler, senior author and McNeil family professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School, said in a statement.

OMMAG

They Lied ... They Continue to Lie ... They Are NOT Scientists ... They Are Activists

 

What the graphic above demonstrates is two important facts about what the IPCC frauds have been doing for 20 years.

The first is that the focus of their hyperbole is an artificial statistical view that is intended to magnify the appearance of a warming trend in support of their own claims and with the intent of bamboozling the numerically incompetent.

The second is that even in the light of other ascending trends over time there is not one example of such camparisons in any of the climate hysteric's presentations. In fact .... even this example fails to go back to previous geological eras where the earth's surface temperatures were much higher than we have seen in the last 500 years.

Or the last 5000 ..... the longer cycles show that we are more likely to be going into a new cooling cyle.

I'll take warming over freeezing any day. But one thing is for sure ... it warm or cold ... it will not make one bit of difference to the climate if you drive gas guzzling SUVs or not drive at all.
It will make no difference whether you get your electricity from the sun, from water falls and rivers, from windmills or from burning coal.

The climate system of this planet is far too large to be measurably affected by your use of fuels for energy.

The Arctic Ocean will be partially ice-free this summer for the first time in three decades, which scientists say will have some positive impacts on the region.

Measurements show the arctic had the least sea ice coverage in July ever [Where "ever" is defined as "since 1979"] recorded, CNN reported Saturday.

“This is just part and parcel of the decline that we’ve seen in the overall ice extent because the Arctic is warming up,” said Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Scratch an Oxford Research Scientist....

And you will probably uncover a Malthusian bastard.............

The team of researchers from Oxford University and Earthwatch UK said their findings were a surprise, as the result challenged the long-held assumption that areas that were rich in resources would encourage the movement of pollinators from one group of native trees to another.

In other words ... "We've got another excuse for attacking the agriculture business."

Of course ... without the enviro fascists at Earthwatch ... they might have come up with a more useful line of research.....  but without the credulous asswipes in the MSM they would at least not have a soap box and bullhorn.

Today the MSM latched on to another old chestnut .... Celphones cause brain cancer!

Screaming headlines ..... "World Health Experts" ..... blah blah ....

Same old crap ... mainstream news goofs ... citing unspecified experts ... hoping to achieve notoriety with unsubstantiated claims of dire consequences.

The WHO did not say anything of the kind in their IARC reports... what they said was there was a possibility ... and therefore "more research" is needed. Because 15 freeking years of celphone use studies ... doing their damndest to find any excuse to demonize the use of these devices ... is certainly not enough.

Merkel Reveals Her Inner Confusion

If this is the product of a PhD in physics using her education or brain then whoever gave Angela Merkel her doctorate should ask for it back.....


BERLIN - Europe's economic powerhouse, Germany, announced plans Monday to abandon nuclear energy over the next 11 years, outlining an ambitious strategy in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster to replace atomic power with renewable energy sources.

• Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes the transformation to more solar, wind and hydroelectric power serves as a roadmap for other countries.
• "We believe that we can show those countries who decide to abandon nuclear power — or not to start using it — how it is possible to achieve growth, creating jobs and economic prosperity while shifting the energy supply toward renewable energies," Merkel said.
• Merkel's government said it will shut down all 17 nuclear power plants in Germany — the world's fourth-largest economy and Europe's biggest — by 2022. The government had no immediate estimate of the transition's overall cost.
• The plan sets Germany apart from most of the other major industrialized nations. Among the other Group of Eight countries, only Italy has abandoned nuclear power, which was voted down in a referendum after the 1986 Chornobyl disaster.
• The decision represents a remarkable about-face for Merkel's centre-right government, which only late last year pushed through a plan to extend the life span of the country's reactors, with the last scheduled to go offline around 2036. But Merkel, who holds a Ph.D. in physics, said industrialized, technologically advanced Japan's "helplessness" in the face of the Fukushima disaster made her rethink the technology's risks.

I'll Be Happy When ....

We can get our money back from these greenturds .......

Green strategies ... Studying what works and does not work in forcing local governments to bow to green activist demands.

Note that in California it is illegal to have trees that block a solar panel or a wind turbine. No matter that the trees were there first or that the equipment is improperly installed and cannot work in any case ... home owners have been forced to cut or remove trees.

Every time some ignorant joker gets a tax break or some grant money out of our tax trough in order to try his hand at being energy smart we are witnessing our hard earned cash being wasted. Make no mistake about it ... these things do not work as they are advertized to do and without you and I footing the bill 99.99% of the jokers who install them would never do it.

Add to this situation the fact that governments at all levels in their eagerness to appear enlightened (which really means being too stupid and spineless) instead of standing up to green busybodies are caving in. It is because of the organized strategy of green activist groups and useful stooges in the legal and public sector that ordinary citizens end up paying for all this.

You and I should have the right to get our money back.

The Godfathers of Climate Fraud

Or more accurately their leiutenants.............

Our intrepid skeptic and denier at Greenie Watch picks up on an article in Forbes.


Global Warming Alarmists Flip-Flop On Snowfall

Sitting in on a March 1 Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) press conference regarding global warming and heavy snowfalls, I couldn’t help feeling like the chairman of the Senate committee questioning mafia capo Frank Pentangeli in Godfather II. The chairman, listening incredulously as Pentangeli contradicts a sworn written statement he had earlier given to the committee, waves the written statement in the air and protests, “We have a sworn affidavit — we have it — your sworn affidavit…. Do you deny that confession, and do you realize what will happen as a result of your denial?”

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Third Assessment Report was as straightforward as Frank Pentangeli’s earlier confession that he had killed on behalf of Michael Corleone. “Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms,” IPCC reported.

That was in 2001. Now, however, with an unprecedented number of major winter snowstorms hitting the northeastern U.S. during the past two winters, the alarmists are clamming up and changing their tune faster than Tom Hagen can fly in Vincenzo Pentangeli from Italy to aid his brother in his time of trouble.

Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at the Weather Underground, and Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, explained to the media at the UCS press conference why they believe global warming caused the heavy snowfalls in the northeast these past two winters. Masters and Serreze obviously are weather experts. They may be right. Other weather experts, such as John Coleman, co-founder of the Weather Channel, and Joseph D’Aleo, the first director of meteorology at the Weather Channel, disagree with Masters and Serreze. It is also possible that Coleman and D’Aleo are right.

During the question and answer portion of the UCS press conference, I quoted the IPCC Third Assessment Report and asked Masters and Serreze if they were saying IPCC was wrong on the science.

“I would say that we always learn,” replied Serreze. “Have we learned a great deal since the IPCC 2001 report? I would say yes, we have. Climate science, like any other field, is a constantly evolving field and we are always learning.”

While I believe the weight of scientific evidence favors Coleman and D’Aleo, the larger importance of the UCS press conference is not whether global warming causes – in effect – more winter, but what the press conference illustrated about the alarmists’ oft-repeated assertions that “the science is settled” and “the debate is over.”

The IPCC Third Assessment Report was as straightforward as one can get asserting that global warming would cause a decline in heavy snow events. As the Senate chairman would say, while waving the IPCC report, “We have it….” But now that real-world evidence has proven IPCC wrong, the alarmists have pulled an about-face and are claiming global warming is causing more frequent heavy snow events.

Regardless of whether global warming is causing more heavy snow events, the alarmists’ about-face on snowfall calls to mind other alarmist global warming assertions that were supposedly “settled science”, but that were subsequently refuted by real-world climate conditions. The alarmists used to claim global warming was causing more hurricanes, but real-world data show hurricanes have fallen to historically lows levels.



The alarmists used to claim global warming was causing the retreat of Kilimanjaro’s mountain snowcap, but scientists now understand that local deforestation is the culprit. IPCC claimed in its 2007 assessment that global warming would likely melt the Himalayan glaciers by 2035, but IPCC now admits there is no scientific basis for such an assertion. IPCC claimed in its 1990 assessment that global temperatures should rise 0.6 degrees Celsius between 1990 and 2010, yet NASA satellite data show global temperatures warmed by merely half that amount, at most.

For years, alarmists have claimed “the science is settled” and “the debate is over.” Well, when was the science settled? When global warming would allegedly cause Himalayan glaciers to melt by 2035, or now that it won’t? When global warming would allegedly cause fewer heavy snow events, or now that it will allegedly cause more frequent heavy snow events?

We could ask Frank Pentangeli, but Frankie Five Angles is no longer talking.

No Shit Sherlock !

Toyota electronics not defective!

After a year and a half and nearly forty BILLION$ in unjustified fines levied against auto maker Toyota the US government has finally admitted that there was no problem in the vehicles outside of people who use them and a few funky accelerator pedals.

The Transportation Department, which was assisted by engineers with NASA, said its 10-month study of Toyota vehicles concluded there was no electronic cause of unintended high-speed acceleration in Toyotas. The study, which was launched at the request of Congress, responded to consumer complaints that flawed electronics could be the culprit behind Toyota’s spate of recalls...

Nevertheless.... The chief bureaucrat at the transport department ... political appointee ... Ray LaHood intends to continue 'studying' the use of electronics in cars and looks forward to creating more unnecessary regulation ....

A preliminary part of the study, released last August, failed to find any electronic flaws based on a review of event data recorders, or vehicle black boxes.

Despite its findings, LaHood said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was considering new regulations to improve safety. They include requiring brake override systems on all vehicles, standardizing keyless ignition systems and requiring event data recorders, or vehicle black boxes, on all new vehicles.

Transportation officials said they would also consider conducting more research on electronic control systems and review the placement and design of accelerator and brake pedals.

My question is .... Will Toyota be getting that 50 Billion$ back? And ... NASA? ... freekin highest paid research scientists in the world NASA ... trouble shooting cars for Washington?

As an aside ... if you care to read the article by AP you may notice a "slight" tendency to spin the report into a praising of the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress at the time of instigation .....

Nope .... this is rather a case that should clearly spell out how incompetent and wasteful meddling politicians and government hacks always prove to be.

And besides .... isn't NASA's mandate from Obama supposed to be finding ways to make muslims feel good about their accomplishments?

Happy Motoring!

Looks Like Another Lancet Lie Exposed

Among whoppers like Iraeli attrocities in Gaza .... biological warfare ... child murder ..... etc.....
Other beauts like wildly exagerated death tolls in Iraq .... Afghanistan ..... and so on....
Fake reports of deaths caused by rising seas and rampant global warming....

One of the most widely accepted bits of received wisdom perpetuated among those inclined to believe such things ..... Autism caused by juvenile vaccines ..... looks like it's been busted.... FINALLY .... in the MSM ... about a year late to the party.

Big Lies exposed ...

The article, by journalist Brian Deer, found that important details of the cases of each of 12 children reported in the original study either misrepresented or altered the actual experiences of the children, the journal said. "In no single case could the medical records be fully reconciled with the descriptions, diagnoses, or histories published in the journal," the editorial said. It called the study "an elaborate fraud."

The original article, by British doctor Andrew Wakefield and other researchers, was published in the highly regarded journal The Lancet in 1998. The study concluded that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine—a mainstay of public health disease prevention efforts around the world—was linked to autism and gastrointestinal disorders.

The findings provoked a still-raging debate over vaccine safety and they prompted thousands of parents to forgo shots for their children. Measles outbreaks were subsequently reported in several Western countries. Several epidemiological studies conducted since the Wakefield paper by public health authorities haven't found any link between the vaccines and autism.

The Lancet withdrew the article in January of last year after concluding that "several elements" of the paper were incorrect. But the journal didn't describe any of the discrepancies as fraud. A British regulator stripped Dr. Wakefield of his medical license last May, citing "serious professional misconduct" in the way he handled the research.

Efforts to reach Dr. Wakefield weren't successful.

OF COURSE ....

CNN continues to provide a platform for this fraud....

Speaking on CNN Wednesday night, Dr. Wakefield defended his research. "The study is not a lie. The findings that we made have been replicated in five countries around the world," he said.

Well? Did you fall for this scam?

This person has been advised previously that I’m not interested in having a conversation. This stems from previous behavior in the person’s home town where the person has been harassing others on the issue of climate change, making uninvited visits to offices, showing up at local service organization meetings to accost a person with whom a disagreement exists, interrupting conversations with friends at restaurants, and making phone calls to the homes of people with which a disagreement exists over climate change.

What is really going on here is that the shills for the Save The Whales groups are attempting to conflate their pet causes with what they see as a "winning" cause in AGW.

The sad truth they reveal in doing so is that they are too stupid to understand that the AGW horse is DEAD and all the flogging in the world is not going help.

From some "expert" quoted by an MSMer :

Here is how Queensland University's Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a world expert on coral reefs and climate change, describes what happened when he contributed a small slice of the 2007 IPCC report:

"The IPCC has one of the most rigorous review processes I have ever experienced...."

Observe that Neither one of them actually know whether there was any so called peer review ... or bother to ask. They simply follow the doctrine that because the IPCC claimed that there was peer review ..... that it must be so.

In the case of the cited interview and article by ABC Australia's Margot O'Neill. it happened back in November and therefore she may claim ignorance of the issues in regard to the IPCC's lack of credibility. BUT .... since I and many others were well aware of the nature of the IPCC and it's cohort well before that time (2 years) ..... exactly WHY that should be a valid defence would be beyond reason.

But for the matter of the quoted scientist and so called expert ... if that is the most rigorous review process he ever experienced, it should make everyone ask "Just what sort of peer review HAVE you experienced?

The "experts" who resort to sources of accreditation for their credibility seem to miss the fact that they ...themselves ...have undermined or allowed to be undermined... those very sources.

A house of cards .... dwellings built upon sand.

Seems to me the scientific community has forgotten the principle keeping you own house in good order and the foundations in proper repair.

Instead of doing that by maintaining vigilant scrutiny of the institutions they rely on for checks and balances. Instead of keeping their own house in order, it seems that they as a group .... have allowed their house to be undermined and infested.

As for the MSM .... stupider by the day. Beyond hope... beyond redemption.
