June, 2017, Part 1, I Am A Global Warming Doubter and A Believer In Science: Obama Still Peddling Non-Facts, Spring Snows In Colorado, and More

Every month we have enough material to return to a continuing theme in this blog, namely that “I am a global warming doubter AND a believer in science.” This became of interest because of people like Al Gore who fanatically and verbosely claimed that you had to be an idiot to not believe in manmade global warming. It has been my life belief that anyone that is that loud and that obnoxious is hiding something, that rather than argue facts and reality it is better to beat down and insult anyone who disagrees

As we have dove into the whole issue of manmade global warming, or its new rebranded title of climate change, we found that Al Gore and people like him were guilty of a number of things:

• Ignoring science and realities that did not support their opinions and positions.
• Rather than have an adult conversation about climate, these types of advocates like Gore sank to the level of insulting those who dared look at ALL science by calling them a variety of names including racists, homophobes, terrorists, flat earth believers, and other slanderous names.
• Continuing to insist that politicians step up their intrusions into our lives with higher taxes, more regulations, and more control of our freedoms and standards of living based on a shaky theory at best.
• To see the past posts and the multitude of evidence that we have compiled that showed it is perfectly okay to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, enter the phrase "global warming doubter” in the search box above or go through the monthly historical posts listed on the right side of this page.

Thus, let’s see the latest facts and science that prove you can be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, regardless of what Al Gore proclaims.

1)For years and years people like Al Gore yelled and ranted that mankind was causing severe global warming that would burn up the planet and lead to all kinds of problems. When all of those predictions were wrong in so many ways, the global warming clan rebranded their effort to “climate change,” an even more amorphous term that allowed them to claim that anything that happened in the weather and climate was caused by man. It also released them from any kind of verification and measurement of their claims since everything was caused by manmade climate change.

Changing the brand to climate change was probably a good thing for them, given what happened in Colorado in late April. According to Valerie Richardson, writing for the Washington Times on April 29, 2017, at least one of the so-called “People’s Climate March” that was scheduled in Colorado on a recent Saturday had to be cancelled because of a major snowstorm.

Kind of ironic that over a month into spring that a climate change rally had to be shut down because of COLD weather and too much snow. Imagine how embarrassing it would have been in global warming was still the rage, kind of tough to justify global warming when a heavy snowstorm hits just prior to May.

And this was not just a bunch of snow flurries. Over a foot of snow fell in some places in Colorado and at the march in Denver, that was not cancelled because of snow, at least one substantial snowman was witnessed at the rally.

Again, thank the lord that global warming went away and became climate change or else it would have been embarrassing.

2) Global warming/climate change types like to claim that the “science is settled,” that just about every scientist in the world believes that mankind is causing catastrophic global warming and climate change impacts on the Earth. We have shown many, many times how this myth, “the science is settled,” is incredibly biased and wrong.

But the best way to prove a scientific theory wrong is with actual data. Consider a recent article in the UK Telegraph that reviewed the work of real scientists in Denmark relative to the Earth and climate change:

• Joseph Curl, writing for the Daily Wire website on May 8, 2017, reviewed the results of work done by the the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) which was written up in the UK’s Telegraph newspaper.
• The DMI found that the Earth had not warmed up in the past 19 years, killing any and all global warming forecast models that predicted the Earth would be much warmer today than it was 20 years ago.
• The DMI findings included the reality that December temperatures in the Arctic have been steadily less than minus 20 degrees C.
• The Arctic ice pack has returned to where it was 13 years ago.
• The Arctic ice pack is much thicker than it was as measured back in 2008.
• The Greenland ice cap got larger last winter than at any time in years.
• And although temps were very high in some places in 2016, giving the hold out global warming advocates hope, higher temps that were caused by the presence of a very strong El Nino, satellite images show that as the El Nino has dissipated, global temps have dropped more than .6 degrees C, the same thing that happened 17 years ago when a similar El Nino Had made 1998 the so-called “the hottest year on record.”
• The article cites other research which found that “a natural cooling cycle that occurs every 230 years began in 2014 and will send temperatures plummeting even further by 2019.” and that “Scientists are also expecting a “huge reduction” in solar activity for 33 years between 2020 and 2053 that will cause thermometers to crash.”
• This other research shows that climate is severely affected by activity on the sun and given that the sun activity is entering a quiet period, we can expect a cooling trend on Earth if past history repeats itself.

So, pick your scientists, the ones in Denmark doing real measurements of reality or Al Gore types who are still frantically trying to prove that mankind is causing all kinds of havoc despite the history of failed climate and global warming predictions.

Keep in mind that if the sun is quieting down and that causes a sudden drop in temps, agriculture output will also drop dramatically, causing all kinds of food supply problems. So this is not an academic exercise, getting it wrong will have implications that extend to life itself. Which is why global warming doubters like myself would like to see a mature, adult conversation that includes ALL of the available climate research and datas, not just the subset of data that global warming/climate change advocates tend to use.

3) Julie Kelly, writing for the National Review on May 29, 2017, reported on Obama’s speech at a recent symposium entitled, “The Global Food Innovation Summit.” Rather than focus on food, he focused on climate change and the same old myths that he peddled when President:

• He blamed climate change for “wildfire seasons that are longer and more dangerous,” ignoring the reality that we have often reported on, using real government data, that the number and extent of wildfires has been declining in the U.S. over time.
• He continued to blamed the wave of immigrants flooding into Europe and climate change as much as the war in Syria, a connection that he continues to not be able or willing to prove.
• He claimed that some states were “seeing floods on sunny days,” an assertion that makes no sense or was proved by any data he provided.
• He claimed that food prices were spiking but government statistics show that food prices in the U.S. have risen slowly and at about the same rate of overall inflation over the past 20 years and some of the increase in prices can be attributed to the Federal government causing a lot of farmland to be converted over to ethanol production vs. food production.
• He blamed climate for being a significant contributor to the political unrest in North Korea and Venezuela which could not be any further from the truth, food shortages in those countries are due mostly to despotic leaders.
• But then he claimed that, “Food production is the second-leading driver of GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions . . . and if we don’t change course, the World Bank predicts that by 2050, agriculture and land use change may account for as much as 70 percent of global GHG emissions.”
• Which reveals an extreme contradiction in his own reasoning and reality since as the author points out, “In short, we aren’t making enough food because of climate change . . . but making all this food is causing climate change.”
• He also had to drop in the favorite lie of climate change advocates, “Ninety-nine percent of scientists who study climate change carefully . . . will tell you that it is indisputable that the planet is getting warmer and the only real controversy is how much warmer will it get,” making this quote despite the reality that for the past 20 years or so the planet has NOT gotten any warmer and let’s remember that the 99% number he quotes is wrong based on the source of such nonsense (the source claims 97%) and the source’s research, as we have often pointed out, is totally bogus and invalid from a statistical point of view.

As he did when he was President, Obama throws out “facts” that are easily proven to be wrong or outright lies, never providing any real basis for his opinions. As the narcissist he is, he just expects the masses to bow down to his wisdom whenever he pontificates, even if he contradicts himself as he did at this gathering. Or as Ms. Kelly points out, “Instead, Obama’s comments were yet another example of the kind of meandering, vague, and contradictory collection of hypothetical scenarios that the climate tribe loves to peddle.”

That will do it for today: an ex-President still not proving he understands reality or providing sound data that supports his vague assertions, scientists in Denmark that prove it is okay to be a global warming doubter, and cold and heavy snow in Colorado in the spring, not what global warming models ever predicted. More to follow.
