September, 2019, I Am A Global Warming Doubter and A Believer In Science: Too Much Ice At The Arctic, Evil Leaky Gas Stoves, and Hurricane Myths Debunked

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 on 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 post 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) We have often discussed how every major and possibly every minor forecast of what man made global warming would do to the Earth was grossly wrong. Not a little wrong, not somewhat wrong, horrifically wrong. For example, Al Gore once estimated that within ten years there was a very good chance that the North Pole would be ice free. Did not come close to happening.

Thus, it is tough to take any man made global warming hysteria seriously, given this failed track record. A recent article on the Godfather Politics website is another example of how global warming advocates have suffered another embarrassing situation:
  • Warner Todd Huston, writing on September 10, 2019, related how a boat load of global warming advocates got trapped in the Arctic because of, wait for it, too much ice.
  • An Arctic tour ship, MS MALMO, was taking 16 passengers up to the North Pole.
  • Halfway between Norway and the North Pole the ship got stuck in ice on September 3 off of the Longyearbyen Svalbard Archipelago.
  • On board was a documentary film crew who were investigating climate change and the possible melting of Arctic ice.
  • The 16 passengers were rescued by helicopter while 7 crew members remained behind, waiting for rescue from the ice.
  • According to the article, this is the sixth year in a row where global warming advocates went north looking for the shrinking ice sheet and ended up getting trapped in the Arctic ice and needed to be rescued.
  • For example: “The Polar Ocean Challenge set out on a two-month campaign hoping to prove that the ice at the North Pole was melting. As the expedition’s website explains, the group aimed to show “that the Arctic sea ice coverage shrinks back so far now in the summer months that sea that was permanently locked up now can allow passage through. Despite their best intentions to show that the ice is melting and the temperature at the pole is higher than normal, the group has only been confronted with the exact opposite as ice continues to block their path.”
Einstein once said that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” Global warming advocates keep advocating the same thing over and over and are never right. The continual excursions to the North Pole and the continued getting stuck in the ice that overwhelms them is insanity.

2) Although global warming advocates and forecasts have always been wrong, that never stops them with coming up with zanier and zanier ways to address the myth of global warming and make life inconvenient and more expensive for the rest of us. Consider another recent article from the Godfather Politics website:
  • We have previously reported on a number of things that cause global warming, from farting cows to beavers building dams.
  • Warner Todd Huston writing on September 9, 2019, reported that global warming advocates say that leaking gas stoves are a global warming and climate change nemesis.
  • Yes, a leaky fitting on your kitchen stove is killing humanity.
  • Never mind that China and India are planning to put 2,500 additional coal generating plants online to feed their energy leads, your GE kitchen gas stove is going to put us over the edge.
  • This is serious since some cities are actually moving to outlaw gas stoves in residential homes: “Berkeley, California, in July became the first U.S. city to pass an ordinance banning gas systems in new buildings, and it may soon be followed by many others, according to interviews with local officials, activists and industry groups.”
  • LA and Seattle are also considering similar rules and laws.
The sad part of all of this is the increased use of natural gas has helped the U.S. lead the world in reducing its carbon footprint. But the same people that want everyone to reduce their carbon footprint are now going nuts on the those of us that are actually reducing carbon output. 

Did these folks think about how the electricity will be created to power electric stoves that are replacing the gas stoves? What if it is oil or coal producing the electricity for these new electric stoves, won’t that actually increase carbon output?

From cows to beavers to clean burning gas stoves, is nothing out of bounds for these folks? Rather than work on these nickel/dime nits of problems, would it not be more productive to work to get those 2,500 coal burning plants diverted into a cleaner fuel like….natural gas? Such bad priorities.

3) Global warming advocates can always rely on the mainstream press to support their climate myths. Such was the case recently when Hurricane Dorian was churning off of the Florida coast. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer wasted no time attributing the hurricane to, you guessed it, humanity’s carbon footprint: “This unprecedented town hall is dedicated to the climate crisis, an issue many voters say it needs to happen now and scientists say that action needs to happen now. We’re seeing firsthand the effects of climate change as a powerful Atlantic hurricane is sitting right now off the coast of Florida. It could make landfall tomorrow in South Carolina.”

If Blitzer was correct, one would expect the most powerful hurricanes to be more frequent and intense in the more recent times than previously. It makes sense, mankind’s use of carbon based fuels has increased over time so it makes sense in these folks’ minds that hurricanes and adverse weather should be getting worse over time.

But is that actually the case? There are scientific measurements of hurricanes that have been done for hurricanes. And guess what? Some of the most intense hurricanes have happened long ago, way before the global warming/climate change myths took place.

Consider what the most terrible hurricanes were from a Hurricane Severity Index perspective:

 Observations:
  • The most severe hurricane happened 48 years ago in 1961, during a time when there was far less carbon already in the atmosphere and being dumped into it every year.
  • Four of the top seven the most severe hurricanes happened before 1969.
  • Six of the top ten hurricanes did not happen in this century.
  • None of the top ten most severe hurricanes have occurred in the past 11 years.

You get the idea. If global warming and climate change due to humanity was a real thing, then the most severe hurricanes should have occurred more frequently and more recently. But that is not the case. Hurricane Katrina, which was supposed to be the trend setter way back in 2005 never set any trend. The really bad hurricanes occurred long before there was such a large carbon footprint in the world.

 Climate change has been occurring since the beginning of time. It continues today. But to say we must drastically change our life style, i.e. stop beaver dam building, kill all the cows, and dump gas ranges, is an idiotic idea relative to real science and real data. Sorry, Wolf, there is no climate crisis, just the natural flow of Mother Natural. For once, look at the damn data.
