Bit by bit, person by person, week by week.
The global warming scam is being exposed. The Sunday Times reports:
The United Nations climate panel faces a new challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that global temperatures are rising inexorably because of human pollution. In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”.
No debate allowed. The UN, and Al Gore had spoken. Any who dared disagree were simply ignorant, backward, Luddites, not worthy of consideration. Obama ran his campaign on the assumption of global warming, and the promise to set all right. Billions upon billions of dollars of government spending has already occurred, seeking a solution to a problem that likely never existed. Then there are the private sector costs incurred, due to legislation and regulation. The list goes on and on...
But, with doubts arising, and evidence of fraud surfacing, the IPCC invited outside review of its last report. The evidence points away from their conclusion.
Ross McKitrick, professor of economics at the University of Guelph, Canada, was one scholar invited to review the findings. The Times reports:
The experience turned him into a strong critic and he has since published a research paper questioning its methods.
“We concluded, with overwhelming statistical significance, that the IPCC’s climate data are contaminated with surface effects from industrialisation and data quality problems. These add up to a large warming bias,” he said.
Such warnings are supported by a study of US weather stations co-written by Anthony Watts, an American meteorologist and climate change sceptic.
His study, which has not been peer reviewed, is illustrated with photographs of weather stations in locations where their readings are distorted by heat-generating equipment. Some are next to air- conditioning units or are on waste treatment plants. One of the most infamous shows a weather station next to a waste incinerator.
...a weather station next to a waste incinerator.
...a weather station next to a waste incinerator.
...a weather station next to a waste incinerator.
And we are expected to change everything about our lives, predicated on conclusions created by this kind of junk science. And we are expected to be civil whilst this happens.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch:
The principal scientist upon whose 'research' the whole hysteria has been based admits he has perhaps lost the data, and that there has been no global warming since 1995.
And that it is likely the earth was warmer for a long period during medieval times.
Still others are chiming in. Reputable scientists, who understand that truth matters, that numbers and words have meaning.
And Al Gore's office, back in Nashville, has no comment to offer.
This country came within a whisker of electing Al Gore to the Presidency in 2000. Luckily, his home state would have none of it.
So, as OldSouth awaits the next round of snow here tonight in Tennessee, he breathes a temporary sigh of relief. The scammers won't go away easily. They'll think of some other way to hustle the taxpayer and wage war on the economy.
But, November is coming. There is a public record of who did and did not drink the AlGore Koolaid.
This will be an interesting year.
