TOP NASA OFFICIAL SAYS: Naw, Don't Think So!

Much to the chagrin of Hollow-wood movie stars and starlets (as they jet about in their private jets and buzz around in their SUVs), the TOP NASA official, Michael Griffin, says he regards the global warming myth as hysteria although he does think that some warming may exist. Knee-jerk "science by consensus" is not what NASA does, so Griffin has stated that he is not concerned.

Calgary Canada - Record Cold, Record Snow

May 28, 2007. It's official, Calgary, Canada has had the coldest temperatures and most snowfall since 1911. Quite the opposite of what the global warming fruitcakes would have you believe.

"Such meteorological mayhem is hardly unheard of this time of year", said Dan Kulak of Environment Canada. But, the wintry blast topped the previous snowfall mark of 5.1 cm for May 24, set in 1911, with communities on the city's northwestern edge among the hardest hit.

May 28, SNOW in Great Britain

Global Warming? It's May 28 and snow is on the way to Great Britain. The Met Office’s Robin Downton said: “The air is so cold as Britain is receiving winds from the Arctic.”

But... But... But... Where were the SUVs ??

From the National Geographic web site: "With their awe-inspiring architecture and sophisticated concepts of astronomy and mathematics, the Maya were undoubtedly among the great ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica. At the peak of their glory, around 800 A.D., the Maya ranged from Mexico's Yucatán peninsula to Honduras.

Then, almost in an instant, a society of some 15 million people imploded, leaving deserted cities, trade routes, and immense pyramids in ruins. The sudden demise is one of the greatest archeological mysteries of our time. What caused the collapse of the great Maya civilization?

The answer, say researchers, is climate change. "

As I've been saying all along... climate is not static, that's real simple!


 

It's become a witch-hunt; a Salem witch-hunt!!

Climate change will be considered a joke in five years time, meteorologist Augie Auer told the annual meeting of Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers in Ashburton this week. "Man's contribution to the greenhouse gases was so small we couldn't change the climate if we tried, he maintained. "We're all going to survive this. It's all going to be a joke in five years," he said. "A combination of misinterpreted and misguided science, media hype, and political spin had created the current hysteria and it was time to put a stop to it."

Ranks of the Skeptics Now Growing - MOST POWERFUL POST HERE!

Many former believers in catastrophic the man-made global warming myth have recently reversed themselves and are now global warming skeptics. The short list below is just the tip of the iceburg:

Those who once believed in Global Warming and now do NOT:

Geophysicist Dr. Claude Allegre, a top geophysicist and French Socialist who has authored more than 100 scientific articles.

Geologist Bruno Wiskel of the University of Alberta. "Wiskel was once such a big believer in man-made global warming that he set out to build a “Kyoto house” in honor of the UN sanctioned Kyoto Protocol which was signed in 1997."

Astrophysicist Dr. Nir Shaviv, one of Israel's top young award winning scientists, recanted his belief that manmade emissions were driving climate change. "Like many others, I was personally sure that CO2 is the bad culprit in the story of global warming. But after carefully digging into the evidence, I realized that things are far more complicated than the story sold to us by many climate scientists or the stories regurgitated by the media."

Mathematician & engineer Dr. David Evans, who did carbon accounting for the Australian Government, recently detailed his conversion to a skeptic. “I devoted six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian government to estimate carbon emissions from land use change and forestry. When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty conclusive, but since then new evidence has weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause. I am now skeptical.”

Climate researcher Dr. Tad Murty, former Senior Research Scientist for Fisheries and Oceans in Canada, also reversed himself from believer in man-made climate change to a skeptic. “I stated with a firm belief about global warming, until I started working on it myself.”

Botanist Dr. David Bellamy, a famed UK environmental campaigner, former lecturer at Durham University and host of a popular UK TV series on wildlife, recently converted into a skeptic after reviewing the science and now calls global warming fears "poppycock." According to a May 15, 2005 article in the UK Sunday Times, Bellamy said “global warming is largely a natural phenomenon. The world is wasting stupendous amounts of money on trying to fix something that can’t be fixed.”

Climate scientist Dr. Chris de Freitas of The University of Auckland, N.Z., also converted from a believer in man-made global warming to a skeptic. “At first I accepted that increases in human caused additions of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere would trigger changes in water vapor etc. and lead to dangerous ‘global warming,’ But with time and with the results of research, I formed the view that, although it makes for a good story, it is unlikely that the man-made changes are drivers of significant climate variation.”

Meteorologist Dr. Reid Bryson, the founding chairman of the Department of Meteorology at University of Wisconsin (now the Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, was pivotal in promoting the coming ice age scare of the 1970’s ( See Time Magazine’s 1974 article “Another Ice Age” citing Bryson: & see Newsweek’s 1975 article “The Cooling World” citing Bryson) has now converted into a leading global warming skeptic.

Global warming author and economist Hans H.J. Labohm started out as a man-made global warming believer but he later switched his view after conducting climate research. Labohm wrote on August 19, 2006, “I started as a anthropogenic global warming believer, then I read the [UN’s IPCC] Summary for Policymakers and the research of prominent skeptics.” “After that, I changed my mind.”

Paleoclimatologist Tim Patterson, of Carlton University in Ottawa converted from believer in C02 driving the climate change to a skeptic. “I taught my students that CO2 was the prime driver of climate change,” Patterson wrote on April 30, 2007. Patterson said his “conversion” happened following his research on “the nature of paleo-commercial fish populations in the NE Pacific.”

Physicist Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski, chairman of the Central Laboratory for the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Radiological Protection in Warsaw, took a scientific journey from a believer of man-made climate change in the form of global cooling in the 1970’s all the way to converting to a skeptic of current predictions of catastrophic man-made global warming.

Paleoclimatologist Dr. Ian D. Clark, professor of the Department of Earth Sciences at University of Ottawa, reversed his views on man-made climate change after further examining the evidence. “I used to agree with these dramatic warnings of climate disaster. I taught my students that most of the increase in temperature of the past century was due to human contribution of C02. The association seemed so clear and simple. Increases of greenhouse gases were driving us towards a climate catastrophe,” Clark said in a 2005 documentary "Climate Catastrophe Cancelled: What You're Not Being Told About the Science of Climate Change.” “However, a few years ago, I decided to look more closely at the science and it astonished me. In fact there is no evidence of humans being the cause. There is, however, overwhelming evidence of natural causes such as changes in the output of the sun. This has completely reversed my views on the Kyoto protocol,” Clark explained.

Environmental geochemist Dr. Jan Veizer, professor emeritus of University of Ottawa, converted from believer to skeptic after conducting scientific studies of climate history. “I simply accepted the (global warming) theory as given,” Veizer wrote on April 30, 2007 about predictions that increasing C02 in the atmosphere was leading to a climate catastrophe. “The final conversion came when I realized that the solar/cosmic ray connection gave far more consistent picture with climate, over many time scales, than did the CO2 scenario.”

MIT Scientist Richard Lindzen and former UN IPCC reviewer, called fears of man-made global warming ‘silly’ in January 2007 and equated concerns to ‘little kids’ attempting to "scare each other."

Canadian climatologist Timothy Ball recently called fears of man-made global warming "the greatest deception in the history of science."

Panel of Broadcast Meteorologists Reject Man-Made Global Warming Fears in February 2007 - Claim 95% of Weathermen Skeptical "You tell me you’re going to predict climate change based on 100 years of data for a rock that’s 6 billion years old?" Meteorologist Mark Johnson said. "I’m not sure which is more arrogant — to say we caused (global warming) or that we can fix it," Meteorologist Mark Nolan said.

60 prominent scientists wrote the Canadian Prime Minister in 2006 saying that "If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary."

Meteorologist James Spann said in January that he does "not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype" and he noted that "Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon."

Kentucky meteorologist Chris Allen said in February 2007, "All of this (alarmism) is designed to get your money and then guilt you in to how you live your life."

Bernie Rayno, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather said in February 2007, "Our climate has been changing since the dawn of time. There is not enough evidence to link global warming to greenhouse gases."

India’s Glaciologists and Geologists stepped forward to reject climate alarmism in February 2007. They included VK Raina, a leading glaciologist in India, RK Ganjoo, the director of the Regional Centre for Field Operations and Research on Himalayan Glaciology and geologist MN Koul. "Claims of global warming causing glacial melt in the Himalayas are based on wrong assumptions," Raina told the Hindustan Times

Paleoclimatologist Labels Climate Fears Oversimplified. Boston College’s professor of geology and geophysics Amy Frappier explained in February 2007, "The geologic record shows that many millions of years ago, CO2 levels were indeed higher - in some cases many times higher - than today." Frappier noted that greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere do not consistently continue to have a warming effect on Earth, but gases instead stabilize in the atmosphere and cease having a warming effect. "At some point the heat-trapping capacity of [the gas] and its effect get saturated," said Frappier, "and you don't have increased heating."

Chinese Scientists Say C02 Impact on Warming May Be ‘Excessively exaggerated’ – Scientists L. Zhen-Shan, and S. Xian’s 2007 study noted that "Although the CO2 greenhouse effect on global climate change is unsuspicious, it could have been excessively exaggerated." Their study concluded that "it is high time to reconsider the trend of global climate change "looked at "multi-scale analysis of global temperature changes" and concluded "that "global climate will be cooling down in the next 20 years."

Climate scientist Henrik Svensmark released a report in February 2007 with researchers at the Danish National Space Centre which shows that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere. "We have the highest solar activity we have had in at least 1,000 years," Svensmark said.

Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov, Head of Space Research, Pulkovo Observatory, in Russia said in January 2007. "It is no secret that increased solar irradiance warms Earth's oceans, which then triggers the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations," Abdussamatov said.

Climate Scientist Fred Singer & Environmental Economist Dennis Avery’s 2006 book: "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years" details the solar-climate link using studies from peer reviewed literature and "shows the earth’s temperatures following variations in solar intensity through centuries of sunspot records, and finds cycles of sun-linked isotopes in ice and tree rings."

Niger Calder, former editor of New Scientist, also expressed his view last week that the UN rejects science it sees as "politically incorrect" and the UN denies that "climate history and related archeology give solid support to the solar hypothesis."

"Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says," according to a February 2007 article in National Geographic. The article explained: "Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars warming data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun. ‘The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,’ Abdussamatov said.’"

French President Jacques Chirac: "Kyoto represents the first component of an authentic global governance" Ah-HA!!

More PANIC - Only Five Years LEFT... Start Screaming Now!

"Panic" as described in Wikipedia: "Humans are vulnerable to panic and it is often considered infectious, in the sense one person's panic may easily spread to other people nearby and soon the entire group acts irrationally."

Irrational.

Now, reports of more panic inducing news articles. Sky News is reporting that we ONLY HAVE FIVE YEARS LEFT [TO LIVE] because of "Global Warming". The panic mongers are ratcheting up the message.

Sky News reports: "The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) warns governments have until 2012 to "plant the seeds of change" and make positive moves to limit carbon emissions. If they fail to do so, the WWF's Vision warns "generations to come will have to live with the compromises and hardships caused by their inability to act".

Warnings. Failures. Hardships. Bunk...

As for the World Wide Fund for Nature? WHO are these people? Click HERE.


 

Phase Two of Hysteria: PANIC!

Panic has set in... Greenpeace is building an ARK in order to survive the coming global destructions they say will occur because of "Global Warming". Odd thing about Greenpeace; every time I consider their political connections I'm led back to socialism, communism, and radical leftists. For them to take up this "cause", or to be a driving force behind it, tells me volumes about this myth. For Al Gore to be a leading figure in this mythology confirms what I already knew about him, his family, and their association with Armand Hammer - Communist Party USA fame (click HERE). It all suddenly begins to make sense.

So Greenpeace is now building an ARK on (of all places) Mount Ararat in Turkey, legendary resting place of the original Noah's Ark. How crass that they hijack religion now for their "cause"; but is this unexpected? No. In truth, this is a symbolic appeal for world leaders to take action. The "ark" will be unveiled on May 31.

"Climate change is real, it's happening now and unless world leaders take urgent, decisive and far-reaching action, the next decades will see human misery on a scale not experienced in modern times," said Greenpeace activist Hilal Atici. "Those leaders have a mandate from the people ... to massively cut greenhouse gas emissions and to do it now."

You will notice the shrill demands... you will notice the panic inducing language... you will notice the threat of horror and misery if we do not comply - NOW. Typical of children throwing a tantrum. And actually, quite wrong. If in fact the temperatures ARE going up slightly, the expected outcome will be completely different from their pathetic threats of death. What we should expect is less misery and a world with a lot more crops and food growing. Less starvation, more crop bearing lands, less misery. Further, as anyone understanding photosynthesis knows... more CO2 has a positive influence on plant growth. Plant growth in return absorbs more CO2 and releases O2. The Earth is "still here" because there are natural cycles (to include the Carbon Cycle) that work to balance these things out (click HERE).

Getting an education helps. Socialists and Communists do not.

To illustrate this self-balancing mechanism:

"If photosynthesis increased wildly for some reason, O2 would go up because more organic carbon would be buried. But if O2 goes up things burn easily (forests are close to self-imolation all the time now). The increase in forest fires would decrease photosynthesis."

Would Global Warming be So Bad?

No.

Click HERE.

So, what is all the fear mongering about? Money Money Money.


 

More Fear Mongering From Scientists Looking For Grant Money

NASA is a big "company". The guy that cleans the floor in the Lewis Research Center "works at NASA". The folks that track NEOs "work at NASA". The spokesperson from Houston "works at NASA". And even the people that don't agree with each other concerning which space probes to build, what missions to select, who to pick as astronauts, and whether global warming exists or not... "they work at NASA". Lots of people "work at NASA". So when I come across a report that says it is "from NASA", or when I read an opinion piece "from NASA", I need to take it with a grain of salt and understand this kind of badge for what it is. In some cases, it means little.

Now we have a person named Barry Lynn, working under the NASA umbrella called the "Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University" out of New York that seems to be inhabited by a large population of university professors that are not much more than socialist nut-cases, screaming at the presses that we're gonna burn!

Recall that the biggest arguments FOR the global warming myth come from this same center of study. Recall also that this center was funded largely by Al Gore, as Vice President, when he held the grant money purse strings for eight years. This tactical maneuver of Al's now allows them (the global warming supporters) to claim NASA backing. "NASA says"... blares the headlines with an air of authority. When in fact, it is merely a few employees at the Goddard Institute that are making these wild assertions. Coincidentally, there ARE world prominent scientists WITHIN the Goddard Institute that refute the global warming mythology. However, they're not out pushing a mythology, they're usually busy doing what they were hired to do by NASA.

So, once again, we have a Goddard Institute "scientist" screaming that the world is going to bake all based, once again, on a global model (we already know about those, don't we) used in the recently issued climate report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). And we already know how fake and disingenuous the IPCC is (a United Nations scam to put it politely).

Odd that a Goddard Institute "scientist", working for NASA, is so willing to fall head over heals in line with a "model" dreamt up by the United Nations (IPCC). That should tell you his agenda immediately.

And odd, the news story (click HERE) has a headline warning: "Extreme Summer Warming in the Future". Not real clear here... I always thought summer was warm to start with anyway. Long before global warming - while Carl Sagan was warning of global cooling, I recall spending summer days in 119 degree heat - in the shade - for weeks on end in central Texas. Guess what? That's called summer. But I suppose for anyone used to spending all summer in their air conditioned home, car, and workplace, that must seem quite an alarmingly high temperature (Uh Oh... global warming!!).

And finally, Dr. Lynn is only AFFILIATED with research by NASA. He is not a NASA employee directly. He's an associate professor at Columbia.

Global Warming Called Absurd

Here is a scientist. "Reid A. Bryson holds the 30th PhD in Meteorology granted in the history of American education. He is the Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology—now the Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences—in the 1970s he became the first director of what’s now the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies. He’s a member of the United Nations Global 500 Roll of Honor—created, the U.N. says, to recognize “outstanding achievements in the protection and improvement of the environment.” He has authored five books and more than 230 other publications and was identified by the British Institute of Geographers as the most frequently cited climatologist in the world.

He calls the Global Warming myth ABSURD. Read this to find out WHY!!

The High Priest Speaks

The ex-vice president, Al "Internet-LoveStory" Gore, has been referring continually to a "new way of thinking" that is emerging in the country and he, as high priest of this new religion is offering blessed hope in the BATTLE to control the effects global warming will have on the planet. One would presume this also includes a BATTLE against all heretics and non-believers.

"It's in part a spiritual crisis," Gore told the crowd in the Convention Center at the American Institute of Architects national convention this past Saturday.

And there you have it... the new religion.

Children Are 'Bad For The Planet'

Here again is another article from the Global Warming nut-cases. Make no mistake, these wackos are not playing games... you can see a trend developing here. Do not be surprised if these people end up pulling off terrorist type attacks on humanity in order to save Mother Earth. In my opinion, their kind of thinking borders on the same dangerous kind of thinking that Al Queda embraces.

The Optimum Population Trust organization equates children to carbon dioxide emitters. I told you it was coming...

Environmentalist Bretheren

Global Warming? Save the Whales?

"Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth."

This is the kind of thinking that we face with the environmentalist wackos... the same group pushing the global warming myth.

Consensus? I Don't See No Stinking Consensus...

How many people make for a consensus? One "fake" climatologist (Ms. Cullen) on the Weather Channel? Is that consensus? One ex-Vice President who claimed to have created the internet? Is that consensus? One or two vocal and radical Marxist professors? Is that consensus? Three dozen Hollow-wood movies stars and starlets (most who follow some philosophy called "scientology"; a belief that aliens live in our heads and talk to us or something), is that scientific consensus?

Since consensus is what they claim (Ms. Cullen, where are you?), let me GIVE YOU CONSENSUS!!!

CLICK HERE.

There's your consensus... 17,000 scientists that say NO GLOBAL WARMING is occurring.

So, given that... let us then discuss what makes up the "lunatic fringe", shall we?

(Thanks David!)
