Alarmists Use Weather To Promote Global Warming Hoax

Yes, global warming is still in the news. Especially since President Bush was at the G-8 Summit extoling the (non-existent) virtues of working to prevent greenhouse gas output. Unfortunately, he got the most press. Other, more scientific, more reasoned and more rational people didn't get any press coverage at all. So, I am here to give you the scoop.

We have Dr. Tim Ball of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg who gives us this:

Claims that recent severe weather and flooding in the US are proof of human CO2 impacts on global climate are scientific nonsense. They are part of a pattern of keeping weather and climate issues in the public mind. My grandmother admonished me with, “Your sins will find you out.” It is a maxim that should now befall proponents of the false theory that human CO2 is causing global warming or climate change. Exposure rarely emerges from the original event, but as Watergate showed the coverup bares the truth. Governments and large segments of society accepted the theory. Most bullied by use of fear but also their lack of knowledge and understanding was also exploited. Now a combination of events are driving them to raise the threat level and make increasingly false claims. forcing a coverup. The world is cooling while CO2 levels continue to rise. In every record for any period in history temperature increases before CO2 not as assumed. Plans to implement carbon taxes to offset warming exacerbate soaring fuel prices. Effects of policies implemented to replace fossil fuels with biofuels are driving food and total living costs rapidly higher. People increasingly question the threats as a recent UK poll showed; “The majority of the British public is still not convinced that climate change is caused by humans - and many others believe scientists are exaggerating the problem, according to an exclusive poll for The Observer.” Proponents of the theory that humans are causing global warming or climate change have used fear to push their false belief. Now they’re experiencing fear as evidence shows they’re wrong and the public perceive a deception.

Having earned a degree in Physical Sciences from the University of Maryland, I was aware of the deception long before Al Gore came out with his notoriously error-filled propaganda movie.

But why would scientists "exaggerate the problem?" Funding. They want funding and in order to get it, they must justify their expenses. Unfortunately for us, that funding usually comes from the taxpayer or the consumer and we end up paying to further an agenda of Socialist leftists.

Events are driving them to extreme, unsubstantiated and even ridiculous claims and threats. One of these was that sea level would rise, but it foundered when the two Nobel Peace Prize winners, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Al Gore were in serious disagreement. Another was Arctic sea ice except it returned to long term normal levels last winter and NASA announced the one year anomaly was due to changes in wind patterns. So they return to their central theme of convincing you that normal weather events are abnormal. An increase in severe weather is a persistent theme, especially in North America.

But is that severe weather really an indicator of anything other than natural responses by our environment to factors that are out of our control?

Report co-chair Tom Karl, Ph.D., director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C said, “This report addresses one of the most frequently asked questions about global warming: what will happen to weather and climate extremes? This synthesis and assessment product examines this question across North America and concludes that we are now witnessing and will increasingly experience more extreme weather and climate events.” Karl has a vested interest in this being true. It is the position of the IPCC and he cites the IPCC as the authoritative body. Internationally, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), under the auspices of the United Nations (UN), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), is the most senior and authoritative body providing scientific advice to global policy makers. Well he was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports for 1990, 1992, 1995, a Coordinating Lead author and panel member of the 2001 Report and a Review Editor for Chapter 3 of the 2007 Report. Source: ncdc.noaa.gov There are three major problems with what is being said. 1. The severe weather of this spring across the Northern Hemisphere was caused by cooler weather not warmer. 2. The IPCC and the NOAA positions that severe weather will increase with global warming is scientifically wrong. 3. The records show current weather extremes are well within long term natural variability.

Basically, what is happening is that cool polar air pushes towards the tropics and warmer tropical air gets displaced upward as a result. The fronts where cool air and warm air meet are where the severe weather occurs. This explains why most of the severe weather we see happens between 30 and 65 degrees of latitutde.

So, why is this important? Because the Global Warming Alarmists are claiming that Global Warming is causing severe weather when the exact opposite is true. It is when the earth cools down and cool polar air remains longer at the lower latitudes that we get more severe weather.

But the IPCC report claims that Global Warming will make polar air temperatures rise faster than tropical air temperatures. Because the two air masses would be closer in temperature, that would mean less severe weather, not more.



From the above graph produced by National Oceanographic and Atpmospheric Administration (NOAA) data, you can see that tornadoes were more frequent between 1950 and 1975, when the earth was in a cooling trend. As the world warmed going towards the year 2000, the frequency decreased, and since the earth has cooled since 2000, the frequency has increased.

Dr. Ball's parting shot:

This trend of severe weather is most likely to increase as the Earth continues to cool. Proponents of human caused climate change will claim it proves them right. They will continue their practice of claiming natural events as unnatural. Unless people understand the basic science they will continue the fraud and pressure politicians into even more damaging energy and environmental policies.
