Truly Inconvenient Truth's for Climate Alarmists

Just yet another article debunking Al Gore's lies.

This article contains some really tasty nuggets because it handily debunks much of the most agregious Global Warming junk science as well as the most oft quoted common defense of the global warming chicking lickens when their beliefs are attacked.. that being only a small cadre of scientists are skeptical of the global warming bandwagon. Oh contrare!

Onto the tasty (meaty) nuggets:

"Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.

But surely Carter is merely part of what most people regard as a tiny cadre of "climate change skeptics" who disagree with the "vast majority of scientists" Gore cites?

No; Carter is one of hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. "Climate experts" is the operative term here. Why? Because what Gore's "majority of scientists" think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field...

But it becomes smaller still. Among experts who actually examine the causes of change on a global scale, many concentrate their research on designing and enhancing computer models of hypothetical futures. "These models have been consistently wrong in all their scenarios," asserts Ball. "Since modelers concede computer outputs are not "predictions" but are in fact merely scenarios, they are negligent in letting policy-makers and the public think they are actually making forecasts."

And what do policymakers have to gain... seems I've been ranting enough about socialist agendas masked by climate change fearmongering. But the author of this piece piles on even more..

"Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years... Patterson concluded his testimony by explaining what his research and "hundreds of other studies" reveal: on all time scales, there is very good correlation between Earth's temperature and natural celestial phenomena such changes in the brightness of the Sun.

Another scientist debunks the melting iceberg myth too..

Dr. Wibj–rn KarlÈn, emeritus professor, Dept. of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm University, Sweden, admits, "Some small areas in the Antarctic Peninsula have broken up recently, just like it has done back in time [ed: hmmmm natural phenomemon at work, not the handywork of evil mankind perhaps... just a thought]. The temperature in this part of Antarctica has increased recently, probably because of a small change in the position of the low pressure systems."

But KarlÈn clarifies that the 'mass balance' of Antarctica is positive - more snow is accumulating than melting off. As a result, Ball explains, there is an increase in the 'calving' of icebergs as the ice dome of Antarctica is growing and flowing to the oceans. When Greenland and Antarctica are assessed together, "their mass balance is considered to possibly increase the sea level by 0.03 mm/year - not much of an effect," KarlÈn concludes.

Huh? I thought New York was about to be inundated by a massive melt off of the worlds icecaps as so dramatically demonstrated by Gore and in the precursor of Gore's junk science.. "The Day After Tomorrow". Duh.. So, when Gore drives home his dubious assertion that increased levels of iceberb calving is due to global warming, he is either TOTALLY ignorant of how glaciers work (may I suggest wikipedia Al... you invented the inernet didn't you afteral?), or, say it isn't so.. is he ... LYING? Personally.. I suspect the later, but then I don't trust the bastard.

"Dr. Dick Morgan, former advisor to the World Meteorological Organization and climatology researcher at University of Exeter, U.K. gives the details, "There has been some decrease in ice thickness in the Canadian Arctic over the past 30 years but no melt down. The Canadian Ice Service records show that from 1971-1981 there was average, to above average, ice thickness. From 1981-1982 there was a sharp decrease of 15% but there was a quick recovery to average, to slightly above average, values from 1983-1995. A sharp drop of 30% occurred again 1996-1998 and since then there has been a steady increase to reach near normal conditions since 2001."

These quotes handily debunk the most often quoted bit of junk science parroted by Gore like the wooden puppet he is.. "...Starting in 1970, there was a precipitous drop-off in the amount and extent and thickness of the Arctic ice cap." Balderdash.

What about the alarmists cry of rapidly increasing temperatures.. well, I hate to burst your bubble..

"...Concerning Gore's beliefs about worldwide warming, Morgan points out that, in addition to the cooling in the NW Atlantic, massive areas of cooling are found in the North and South Pacific Ocean the whole of the Amazon Valley; the north coast of South America and the Caribbean; the eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caucasus and Red Sea; New Zealand and even the Ganges Valley in India.; Morgan explains, "Had the IPCC used the standard parameter for climate change (the 30 year average) and used an equal area projection, instead of the Mercator (which doubled the area of warming in Alaska, Siberia and the Antarctic Ocean) warming and cooling would have been almost in balance."

Guess what folks.. the world isn't crashing in. Modern civilization isn't at risk from an environmental catastrophe, but it is threatened by an unholy alliance of Machiavellian politicians like Gore, his radical buddies with tons of dough and their loony fellow travelers on the fringe who are committed to the hilt. At best their triumph would be Orwellian serfdom, at worst, annihilation. Now that's a real Inconvenient Truth you can bank on!
