Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December.
It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.
The collapse of the talks coupled with the decision by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put off the Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill, the Senate's version of Waxman-Markey, until the spring thaw has led Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the leading Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, to declare victory over Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and the triumph of observable fact over junk science.
"I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard," Inhofe said to Boxer in a Senate speech. "Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked."
Inhofe added: "Today I have been vindicated."
The Ada (Oklahoma) Evening News quotes Inhofe: "So when Barbara Boxer, John Kerry and all the left get up there and say, 'Yes. We're going to pass a global warming bill,' I will be able to stand up and say, 'No, it's over. Get a life. You lost. I won,'" Inhofe said.
Now we have the German publication Der Spiegel, which is rapidly becoming the house organ for climate hysteria, weighing in again with the sad news that the earth does not have a fever so we really don't have to throw out the baby with the rising bath water.
In an article titled, "Climatologists Baffled By Global Warming Time-Out," author Gerald Traufetter leads off with the observation: "Climatologists are baffled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years." They better figure it out, Der Spiegel warns, because "billions of euros are at stake in the negotiations."
We are told in sad tones that "not much is happening with global warming at the moment" and that "it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year." But how can it be that the earth isn't following all those computer models? Is the earth goddess Gaia herself a climate change "denier"?
The article gloomily notes that a few weeks ago Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research pointed out that the earth had in fact only warmed 0.07 degree Celsius from 1999 to 2008 and not by the 0.2 degree Celsius predicted by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
An even more inconvenient truth, according to the British experts, is that when their figures are adjusted for two naturally occurring climate phenomena, El Nino and La Nina, the resulting temperature trend is reduced to 0.0 degree Celsius. No, that's not a typo.
As if that weren't enough, it seems hackers broke into the computer network run by the Hadley Climate Research Unit, removing 61 megabytes of e-mails and data.
While we don't condone theft, the hacked data and e-mails have spilled onto the Web and reveal something startling: The scientists at Hadley, one of the world's leading climate change study centers, aren't scientifically objective at all.
Indeed, in e-mails, they boast of twisting scientific data to suit their views and to "hide" the truth. At one point, a scientist actually gloats over the death of global warming skeptic John L. Daly, saying, "In an odd way, this is cheering news."
If true, this is massive scientific fraud.
To add to the warm-mongers' woes, patron saint Al Gore, the man who claimed to have invented the Internet, might also have claimed the discovery of Photoshop. Dr. Roy Spencer, of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, formerly with NASA, has taken a look at the pictures used to illustrate Gore's new book, "Our Choice: A Plan To Solve the Climate Crisis."
Gore Photoshopped NASA imagery of the earth for the fold-out cover photo, adding four hurricanes at once, including one spinning in the wrong direction next to Florida and, in a physical impossibility, one on the equator next to Peru. Somewhere in the process, the island of Cuba was deleted.
It is the warm-mongers who are spinning in the wrong direction. We win. You lose. Get a life.

Gore prominently quotes Deuteronomy, "I’m offering you the choice of life or death."
The cover of Nobel Laureate Al Gore's new book "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis" was intentionally doctored to exaggerate the appearance of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere as well as reduce the amount of ice present in the Arctic.
Maybe even more ominously, Florida was so diminished it's almost totally gone.
The cover opens and closes half and half — so you only see one hurricane…as in the press release photo or the one on Amazon.
But this is the real picture sequence from the book which I looked at Borders today and took cell-phone pictures, original (before the retouching by some “artist”) Note all of the Arctic ice and the size of the Florida Peninsula…
And the final product:
A midget Southern Hemisphere cyclone is off the coast of Florida, another hurricane is sitting on the equator off the coast of Peru — and the Arctic Ice is gone (perhaps it is summer) and the Florida Peninsula is half gone
Don't let your guard down just yet. There are hundreds of trillions of dollars at stake, and the true driving force behind this travesty - i.e., the let's redistribute the wealth socialists like George Soros - will not give up easily. They simply are going to make it a two-step process instead of one. What will get signed at the meeting simply paves the way for the final step later.
Here are my opinions:
"Follow the money trail..."
And there are several trails to follow.
1. Environmental activists - need to raise funds to survive, but if there isn’t a cause, there’s no funding and they would all have to go out and get real jobs that they are qualified for, like flipping burgers. The Holly Grail of causes is the totally fictitious false mantra of “Global Warming”, and it arose from the shambles of their previous attempt to spread voodoo-science Chicken Little scare tactics back in the early 70’s when they falsely claimed that our industrial emissions were contributing to a looming, global ecological catastrophe known as “Global Cooling” and that if drastic, costly measures weren’t implemented immediately, glaciers would over run Canada and the northern US by end of the (last) century. (One plan even called for dumping vast quantities of black soot on the arctic ice caps to cause the glacial ice to melt.) But the Earth didn’t cooperate, as it was busy on one of its natural cycles of slight warming (these warm-cool cycles have been going on for hundreds of millions of years prior to the arrival of the first SUV). So “Global Cooling” became Global Warming”. Yet that gosh darn stubborn ‘ol Earth still refuses to cooperate by not conforming itself to any of the voodoo-science predictive computer models and in fact it has continued along its merry way in a natural cycle of cooling for well over a decade. So the envrionuts change the disaster label to “Climate Change”, which is a good one because no one can disprove that the climate doesn’t change, as it does so by the minute. Now the envirowhackos are rolling in cash and never have to fear doing and honest day’s work in their lives. MONEY!
2. Governmental Infiltration by Environuts – who stated out doing some noble work, but soon the left took over entire agencies (just like they did the Universities, the AARP, etc.) and suddenly grant money became available to “study” the causes and impacts of Global Warming – NOT to study whether or not there was such a phenomenon as Global Warming, but instead only to substantiate its existence. They stated with the base assumption that Global Warming was a reality and then set out to prove it so, which is a complete perversion of the scientific method. Grant money was available to produce results that supported the Global Warming concept, but not to do anything that might disprove it. Many of my colleagues in the Earth sciences at that time became seduced by the lure of the grants and sold their scientific souls to join the charade. MONEY!
3. The big breakthrough for the fraudulent movement came when large corporations that really knew the Global Warming nutjobs were a disgrace to the real scientific community caved in anyway and suddenly started worshiping in the Church of Bogus Facts because they saw they could make money by doing so. “My product is greener than my competition’s products” has become one of the largest marketing ploys in modern time, as it crosses the entire spectrum of food, vehicle, appliances, household cleaning products, etc., etc. This is also when carpetbagging, snake-oil salesman, shyster and failed politician Al Gore jumped in to secure his fame, glory and future wealth by becoming the keynote huckster and posterboy of the fraud. MONEY!
4. The convenient truth for a global movement that has been festering since the 1930’s to create a utopian society in which the masses had the exact same standard of living whether they contributed to it or not and the few, powerful elite enjoyed the finer things in life that the masses provided them in exchange for baubles and trinkets (i.e., socialists, Marxists, communists, etc. failed ideologies), that fell into their laps was the Global Warming conspiracy. It became evident early on that some parts of the world, which happened to consist of nations with high standards of living because their populations were smart and industrious, contributed more emissions than other countries that lacked those inherent creative talents and missed the self–created prosperity of he industrial-train as it roared past them, didn’t contribute to emissions. So, using the false science of Global Warming, the utopians of the left initiated a campaign to make the prosperous nations feel guilty about being the sole cause of the eventual destruction of the Earth, and that all those poor nations that were innocent needed to be compensated by the bad guys for committing the crime of being prosperous and frying the Earth as a result. We now have the UN spearheading that cause, and the richest nations (we know who leads that list, don’t we boys and girls) will all have to redistribute their wealth accordingly – i.e., the standard of living of the prosperous people declines while that of the nations that failed to make themselves prosperous increases. Why, it’s only fair, right? MONEY!
I do not confess to recalling the exact data from the ICCP reports, but they projected that if nothing is done the Earth’s average temperature will rise seven degrees in 50 or 100 years (I forget which), which IS a big deal. But they further stated that if you added up the total CO2 emissions from ALL sources (cars, trucks, trains, planes, factories, power plants, etc., etc.) that that amount reportedly causes the Earth’s temperature to rise one degree in 50 or 100 years (I forget which). So think about it: Even if we stopped EVERYTHING (no more cars, trucks, trains, planes, factories, power plants, etc., etc. ever again), we’d only managed to knock one degree off that total of seven – i.e., we don’t even make a dent by stopping all energy consuming and emission generating activities (i.e., we all just freeze in the dark).
So, IF the ICCP reports are factual (and they are not because they have the fundamental flaw that CO2 in the atmosphere leads to increasing Earth temperature), then, by their own math, the ICCP reports show that there already is nothing we can do to avert disaster. Perhaps instead of spending billions of dollars trying in vain and also sending 2% of our annual GDP to third-world nations as the UN Climate Control Treaty would mandate that we do, how about building a bunch of biga*s dikes and barriers along all coasts to keep the seawater out?
"Global Warming" is the most outrageous hoax ever played on a global society!
