Finally! An Explanation Of The "global Warming" Scam!

What the heck is it with the Chicken Little "the sky is falling" brigade?
How many years of no global warming will it take for them to wander off into well deserved obscurity??
More and more folks realize it's about Global Governance, not Global Warming....politics not science!




Now, from Stanley Kurtz....an explanation of the popularity in the 'hair on fire' brigade: seems it's all about playing make-believe victim.






1. "... French intellectual gadfly Pascal Bruckner (in The Fanaticism of the Apocalypse: Save the Earth, Punish Human Beings), does the most thorough job yet of explaining the climate movement as a secular religion, an odd combination of deformed Christianity and reconstructed Marxism.

2. Bruckner describes a historical process wherein “the long list of emblematic victims — Jews, blacks, slaves, proletarians, colonized peoples — was replaced, little by little, with the Planet.” The planet, says Bruckner, “has become the new proletariat that must be saved from exploitation.”




3. ... odd that a “mood of catastrophe” should prevail in the West, the most well-off part of the world. .... is that the only way to turn the prosperous into victims is to threaten the very existence of a world they otherwise command.

4. ... why should the privileged wish to become victims? To alleviate guilt and to appropriate the victim’s superior prestige. In the neo-Marxist dispensation now regnant on our college campuses, after all, the advantaged are ignorant and guilty while the oppressed are innocent and wise.

5. .... the privileged to identify with “struggling groups” by wearing, say, a Palestinian keffiyeh. Yet better than merely empathizing with the oppressed is tobe oppressed. This is the climate movement’s signal innovation.




6. .... begin with Bill McKibben, the most influential environmental activist in the country, and leader of the campus fossil-fuel divestment movement..... “My leftism grew more righteous in college,” he says, “but still there was something pro forma about it.” The problem? “Being white, male, straight, and of impeccably middle-class background, I could not realistically claim to be a victim of anything.”

7. ...McKibben continued to enthusiastically support every leftist-approved victim group he could find. Nonetheless, something was missing. None of these causes seemed truly his own. When McKibben almost singlehandedly turned global warming into a public issue in 1989, his problem was solved. Now everyone could be a victim.





8. ... despite vast differences between the upper-middle-class college students who make up much of today’s climate movement and southern blacks living under segregation in the 1950s, climate activists think of themselves on the model of the early civil-rights protesters.

9. When climate activists court arrest through civil disobedience, they imagine themselves to be reliving the struggles of persecuted African Americans staging lunch-counter sit-ins at risk of their lives.

10. Today’s climate protesters,...“feel themselves oppressed by powerful, corrupt forces beyond their control.” And they fight “not only for people in faraway places but, increasingly, for themselves.”

So...some psychotherapy, a little prozac, and, perhaps a polo mallet, and the "Global Warming Movement" is history.

Remember when they simply dressed up as cowboys and Indians?
PoliticalChic,
Each year all the volcanoes on earth put out an estimated 200 million tons of CO2 into the biosphere. Each year, human activity is the cause for an estimated 26.8 billion tons of CO2 into the environment. That isn't a scam. If you look at a graph of how much CO2 humans have caused since the beginning of the industral revloution, you will see that it keeps going up at an ever steep rate. That isn't a scam.
 
T
And the irony?

After 20+ years of perpetual bomb throwing, the AGW crowd STILL has not made their case despite 90% of the media being on their side and in lockstep!!
Well the only response from the non believers is they always chip away at little things. So they wont ever say that the data is wrong, they simply say its questionable or concerning or they ask hypothetical questions like: "How could that be true if their data was accurate?"

Heres the one thing they NEVER EVER EVER do tho. They pick away at the peer reviewed science with a bunch of excuses, conspiracy theories etc. Yet, they NEVER EVER EVER provide their own conclusions to be checked by the scientific community. Do you know why? Because peanut galleries dont have solutions...just complaints.

Just like Billy Bob did earlier. Post people who ask a series of questions but they never have a solution to why there is a break in the last few years and WHY there was increases before. The most you'll get out of them is to say something vague like "patterns" or "its natural"

Not the job of skeptics to propose alternate theories.. That's not how science review works. The folks ASSERTING that CO2 is the only meaningful control knob on the climate and that the Earth's climate system is unstable to minor increases in temperature must DEFEND those assertions. And for the most part -- they are undefendable in terms of climate history and MEASURED empirical data.

The warming of the past 100 years shows NO EVIDENCE of the Magic Multipliers that are supposed to accelerate warming BEYOND the warming powers of CO2. And the phoney GLOBAL reconstructions of the previous millenia do not have the time resolution to EVEN SEE a 100 year event like we've been experiencing. The reason they all look like hockey sticks is because the 20,000 yr old part gathered from tree rings, ice cores, wormholes, ect --- has been overly filtered and and the current past 50 years of MODERN data is tacked on at FULL Temporal resolution at the right hand side.. Meanwhile, INDIVIDUAL proxy temp studies from all over the world show that since the Roman Empire, the planet has had MANY ups and downs in the range of the 0.5degC or so that has all the Warmer faithful praying..

Wasn't until the pause that the science started to get MUCH BETTER. Which is the hopeful sign for me as a skeptic. Lead researchers have now broadened their perspectives and started to pick up on MAJOR concepts that were missing from all the failed GW models that earlier predicted doom.. The show is almost over and the science is ALMOST back on track.. The congregation is gonna have to "move on" soon...
 
PC's a great example of how some people's political ideologies cross over the line from political philosophy and right on into psychological illness.



And once again you've produced a vapid post, about nothing but .....me.

Of course, grateful for that.

But, so sad that for the umpteenth time, you done nothing but prove what a dunce you are.

"Taking the least-squares linear-regression trend on Remote Sensing Systems’ satellite-based monthly global mean lower-troposphere temperature dataset, there has been no global warming – none at all – for 17 years 10 months. This is the longest continuous period without any warming in the global instrumental temperature record since the satellites first watched in 1979. It has endured for more than half the entire satellite temperature record. Yet the lengthening Pause coincides with a continuing, rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration."

The Left Relentlessly Pushes Climate Hoax in All-Out Assault on Capitalism
September 23, 2014
RUSH: I'm just telling you there isn't any warming. There hadn't been in 20 years. There's cooling, in fact.

And every one of your links is to ADJUSTED DATA... You never use the real data you ALWAYS ADJUST IT FIRST.. Now why would that be?

Oh that's right, because the USCRN is showing how badly tampered with the real data is.. Lets take Las Vegas Nevada for instance. The CRN site nearest this area shows a full -0.7 deg C cooling trend over the 2002 to present time span. Yet the USHCN (HSS) shows +1.1 deg C rise over the same time period after adjustments. Yet when we take unadjusted station data we find that the unadjusted data has the same -0.7 deg C trend PRIOR TO ADJUSTMENT.

You alarmist have been pawned so badly and you dont even know it.. You make statements of fact and you haven't a clue where those facts have been and what has happened to them.

Please justify a +1.8 deg C Adjustment to historical records.. This is just the tip of the iceberg we have uncovered using superior data collection techniques. That is the totality of all warming in the last hundred years and its all artifact.

Ok.

Pop up a couple of your charts and talk about your pov.

Only "slightly" off the mark.. The key missing word is "statistically significant" warming".. Some die-hards have calculated the 17 yr trend as +0.03degC/decade and a bunch of frauds cherry picked between satellite and ground data to get +0.08degC/decade..

BOTH those numbers effectively make every predicated GW scenario null and void. Because at 0.03degC/decade -- this isn't even STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. Can't tell that rate of warming from random chance.. Even the Warmer elite have stated that 15 yrs was the period over which a temperature change would be considered "climate change"..

0.3degC/CENTURY is not a story worthy of news coverage.
Not worth trying to pick nits -- is it??

Get off the bus while you can preserve some dignity.. The show is almost over. Science is going back to the wild and BETTER studies are being done. How long has it been since you've seen the latest hockey stick or voodoo end of the world prediction???? The SILENCE is "statistically significant". And very much appreciated by us skeptics..

:lol:

BTW --- the satellite records are free from subjective interpretation and RSS does INDEED indicate a very near zero warming trend for the past 17+ years.. And most everything in that article that PC quoted is right dead on.. INCLUDING the anecdotal evidence of MUCH HIGHER multi-decadal warming that was experienced back in the 1600s. But there --- they neglected to note, that was during the initial recovery from the LIA..

By deniers cherry-picking a warm month to start the 17+ year clock and stopping on a cold month. Using the annual data you get a +.09C/Decade warming trend.

There is a reason CAGW nuts do not want statisticians looking over their work... Math doesn't LIE..

But deniers do. When Billy here isn't fabricating a new conspiracy, he's cherrypicking.

And remember Billy, nobody should ever use the term "CAGW". First, because it makes the speaker look hysterical. And second, because it instantly identifies the speaker as one of the most brainless life forms on the planet, a WUWT cultist.

Not with satellite data you don't.. And are you really trying to chuck your last ounce of Warmer credibility by arguing the SECOND FRACTIONAL DIGIT to the right of the decimal point???

:dig: You trying to Rush Limbaugh yourself into relevence here?? Stay on the bus --- the cliff is in sight... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

At this point, the older IPCC predictions are GARBAGE and even the newer more "sane" predictions are looking as silly as you do...
 
Is there ANYONE HERE who hasn't noticed the complete absence of scary graphs and predictions from the Church of Global Warming for the past few years. Anyone who hasn't noticed HOW FAR the predictions have backed down?

Other than that attempt to induce floods of Biblical proportions from a misrepresentation of a paper on the West Antarctic Ice Shelf --- hardly a peep.. NOT EVEN NEWS on the Climate Conference that was SUPPOSED TO BE --- "the last chance to save the planet"..

Crickets..

I have noticed. I think aftet the Al Gore backlash it got toned down a bit. There are some funny northern hemisphere open ice issues for sure. But when the economy sucks new regulations gain less traction.

You know what is kinda interesting though. Was reading Motor Trend earlier and all these mainstream sedans they were testing get just upper 20's for fuel economy. My 97 Aurora and 98 MarkVII get 24 and 23 respectively. For their day those were performance type sedans lol and today's normal sedans are barely any better fuel economy wise.

So I don't feel like I am being restricted or punished by the regulations.

I only deal with satellite measurements of temperature. Much more uniform in time and coverage and much less disputed..

1998 WAS the warmest year. Major NATURAL fluctuation. But the longer the pause, the less an influence it has on the average. Makes up 1/17 of the result. BUT -- the latter years were not "cool" by any means.

The practice of denying that there has been a massive change in Global temperature direction is reserved for the hard-core warmer zealots. Not gonna argue about 1/100ths of degree with a rapid warmer..

$100s of Billions dollars wasted on windmills and solar panels instead of improving reliable generation does affect you.. So does growing 1/3 of our corn just so we can burn it.. Bought a steak lately?

Do you have any Obama era numbers for energy subsidies?

Corn gas I don't like using much. I view it as
1. welfare for farmers
2. something to take a little slice out of the demand for ISIS/Middle Eastern Oil. Probably just killing a few cents a barrel but those are a few IED's less we have to deal with.

But hey, those are good political causes I suppose.

I agree historic records are interesting to say the least. Where did Pa Ingalls hang his thermometer in 1880? Who knows lol.

Plus of all interesting things that argues for and against greenhouse caused global warming. My home suffers from man made global warming. Yup. The verified urban heat island effect that even reaches out to those of us an an acre in the 'burbs. You should see the Japanese maples, Southern Magnolias and Crepe Myrtles that grow here which do not grow in yards out in the country sixty miles from me.

If you don't have any historic temperature references to guide me towards will just have to not talk about temperature trends then. No solar maximums and minimums, no ocean temps. We can have the rest of this conversation without them and in a way I would rather.
