Top Ten Reasons Climate Change is a Hoax

TopTenAlGore2

By Elmer Beauregard

The Senate voted this week on whether Climate Change is real or a hoax, I think it’s a hoax and here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard in the news that 2014 was supposed to be the hottest year ever. If it actually was “hottest year ever” you’d think all the terrible calamities that are supposed to happen would be happening now but instead the opposite is happening.

1. Record Ice

In 2014 there was record sea ice in Antarctica  in fact a global warming expedition got stuck in it. Arctic sea ice has also made a nice comeback in 2014. The Great lakes had record ice Lake Superior only had 3 ice free months in 2014. You’d think that in the hottest year ever that ice would be melting like Al Gore said.

2. Record Snow

2014 saw record snowfall in many areas, remember when they said that global warming would cause snow to disappear and children won’t know what snow is.

3. Record Cold

In 2014 we saw all kinds of cold records remember the Polar Vortex? You’d think that we’d be breaking all kinds of heat records in “the hottest year ever”

4. Oceans Are Rising Much Less Than Predicted

Al Gore predicted that oceans would rise 20 feet by 2100, it looks like were on track for about a foot. 80% of the tide gauges show less rise than the official “global average”. Many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years.

5. Polar Bears Are Thriving

You’d think that Polar Bears would really be in trouble in 2014 “the hottest year ever” but they are thriving.

6. Moose Are Making A Comeback

A few years ago the moose population in Minnesota dropped rapidly and they immediately blamed global warming, then they did a study and found out it was actually wolves that were killing the moose. Wolves have been taken off the endangered species list and are now endangering other species so they opened a wolf hunting season in Minnesota and the moose are coming back. It turns out it had nothing to do with global warming in fact the years when the moose population declined were some very cold ones.

7. 99% of Scientists don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming

You’ve probably heard over and over that 99% of scientist believe in global warming well the opposite is true. That talking point came from a study where only 75 scientists said they believe in global warming on the other hand over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying they don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming.

8. Nature produces much more CO2 than man

In 2014 NASA finally launched a satellite that measures CO2 levels around the globe. They assumed that most of the CO2 would be coming from the industrialized northern hemisphere but much to their surprise it was coming from the rainforests in South America, Africa and China.

9. It Isn’t Actually the Warmest Year.

If you look at the satellite data 2014 was not the warmest year ever in fact there has been no global warming for over 18 years. The Reason they can say it’s the warmest year is because they are using the ground weather station data which is heavily influenced by the Urban Heat Island effect, many of which are near pavement. Even still they had to cherry pick that data to get at the warmest year ever and it is only the warmest by only two-100ths of a degree within a dataset that has a variability of a half of a degree. The fact they they had to ignore accurate data and fudge sketchy data to push their agenda proves (IMHO) that climate change is a hoax.

10. The Hypocrisy of the Main Players

One of the main reasons you can tell that global warming is a hoax is that the main purveyors of global warming live lifestyles opposite of what they preach, they all own multiple large homes and yachts and they fly around the world in private jets pushing their propaganda. Not to mention some people such as Al Gore actually profit from Carbon Taxes and other green energy laws. If they actually believed what they preached they would be leading quite different lives.

    Come forward two years. 2014, 2015 and 2016 were all record warm years. Antarctic sea ice is at record lows. As a professor and scientist, I agree with most other scientists that climate change is the most serious problem facing our country and the world.

    Temperature increase causes outgassing of CO2 from the oceans same way your soda fizzles when warm and calms down when cold. At 10 deg C water contains 2.3 grams of CO2 in 1,000cc of water. At 20 deg C it is 1.3 g per liter, or 47% loss. -A big variation going back and forth around the world’s oceans on annual cycle. Furthermore, the Golfstrom that brings warm water to upper Europe absorbs CO2 while cooling and sinking to return South in continuous manner. Whatever causes the temperature rise is immaterial when seen from this perspective. -There are several sources, all of them harking back to Sun activity and orientation of a particular geographic location during seasons of the year. To claim CO2 causes global warming is absurd, mixing cause and effect to accomplish some predestined goal that has nothing to do with reality.

      YOU prove the old adage that a little knowledge can do a lot of damage.

      You have a small amount of information about the COMPLEX equation…and muff it.

      Study this:
      (I have included Sources for YOU to Google and LEARN)

      1799
      ” ‘Climate Change’ was Postulated in 1799, Alexander von Humboldt.”
      as temperatures warmed. this was verified thru multiple historical records
      1811
      “Climate Changed Scientifically tied Global Warming & Human Activity by physicist & astronomer Simeon Denis Poisson, 1811….”
      from multiple historical records
      He lectured, extensively, on this threat by 1827 !
      1847
      “George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) author of the 1847 lecture that predicted – “human-induced climate change” – from multiple historical records
      Scientists WERE ALREADY LECTURING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING and the resulting Climate Changes, in 1847 !
      1861
      “The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide & other gases was experimentally demonstrated & *PROVED* in the mid-19th century.”
      “The greenhouse gas qualities of carbon dioxide have been known for over a century.
      In 1861, John Tyndal published laboratory results
      identifying carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas that absorbed heat rays (longwave radiation).
      Since then, the absorptive qualities of carbon dioxide have been more precisely quantified by decades of laboratory measurements
      (Herzberg 1953, Burch 1962, Burch 1970, etc).

      These same fundamental experiments & equations
      are * Challenged & Replicated
      in nearly every University, around the world, year after year !

      There has been no meaningful critique of the fundamental science of Global Warming
      not in climatology,
      not in physics,
      not in Earth Science,
      not in physical science,
      not in Meteorology,
      not in physical geography,
      not in oceanography,

      We ARE raising CO2 levels & H2O
      (which enhance one another’s impact on climate) & other gasses.
      Measured Today, at a couple hundred locations around the globe as well as by independent Air Plane and Balloon Measures.
      .
      Human carbon dioxide emissions & other gasses are calculated from international energy statistics, tabulating coal, brown coal, peat, and crude oil production by nation and year, going back to 1751.
      .
      CO2 emissions have increased dramatically over the last century.
      .
      For periods before 1958, CO2 levels are determined from air bubbles trapped in polar ice cores. In pre-industrial times over the last 20,000 years, CO2 was relatively stable at around 225 to 285 parts per million.
      .
      (( Man Made CO2 has a unique Isotope, allowing Science to closely measure/monitor CO2 levels in the atmosphere ))
      .
      Over the last 250 years, atmospheric CO2 levels have increased by OVER 110 parts per million.
      .
      Currently, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing by around 15 gigatonnes every year.
      .
      ( Instead of 225-285PPM, as it has been for 1,000’s upon 1,000’s of years,
      today we are NOW ‘ OVER ‘ 411PPM ! )
      .
      Humans have never existed during a time when CO2 or Methane levels in the atmosphere have been this HIGH.
      .
      We have no IDEA what this experiment with HIGHER Atmospheric Gases may have on Humans or on life itself.
      .
      Humans are Dumping More than 135 Times more CO2 into Earth’s Atmosphere than ALL of the Volcanoes, combined. Year after Year.
      .
      In 1970,
      NASA launched the IRIS satellite that measured infrared spectra between 400 cm-1 to 1600 cm-1.
      (Google IRIS SATELLITE)
      .
      In 1996,
      the Japanese Space Agency launched the IMG satellite which recorded similar observations.
      (Google IMG SATELLITE)
      .
      Both sets of data were compared to discern any changes in outgoing radiation over the 26 year period.
      (Google Harries 2001).
      .
      What they found was a drop in outgoing radiation at the wavelength bands that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) absorb energy…Decreasing outgoing radiation as Green House Gases were increasing.

      The change in outgoing radiation is consistent with theoretical expectations.

      ******* Thus the paper found empirical “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect” and Earth Warming.

      This result has been repeated & confirmed by subsequent papers
      using more recent satellite data.
      The 1970 and 1997 spectra were compared with additional satellite data
      from the NASA AIRS satellite launched in 2003
      (Google Griggs 2004).

      This analysis was extended to 2006 using data from the AURA satellite launched in 2004
      (Google Chen 2007)
      (Googel Aura Satellite)

      Both papers found the observed differences in CO2 bands matching the PREDICTED changes from rising carbon dioxide levels.

      Thus we have ROCK SOLID empirical evidence that increased CO2 is causing an enhanced greenhouse effect.

      ** Thus these research studies & papers found “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect” and Global Warming.

      ( If Infra Red HEAT Energy, does not escape, it is retained in our Earth System,
      AS PREDICTED, as rising temperatures, warming rising seas, melting Ice, acidification of oceans. )

      These results has been confirmed by subsequent MANY Research papers using data from later satellites.

      2. The enhanced greenhouse effect is confirmed by satellites, weather balloons, airplane scans, and many surface measurements.
      3. The planet’s energy imbalance is confirmed by summations of the planet’s total heat content and ocean heat measurements….”

        I am quite happy with global warming, and sorry to see it evolve into climate change with another cold snap lasting few centuries on the horizon, rickcool as you call yourself. You obviously spent a lot of time preparing your post and you deserve credit for your effort. Human and cattle CO2 contribution does play some role, and I see it as a good thing, not a calamity IPCC and their stooges are projecting. IPPC stated mission is to blame humanity for all of CO2 ‘evil’ influence, totally ignoring the reality of the Earth situation. At any time on Earth, about 40 volcanoes are actively spewing aerosols. One good size volcano eruption of Tambora size can precipitate another year without summer and starvation of massive proportions on the top of already developing another Mauner minimum.

        • Rick Kooi September 5, 2017 at 11:39 pm #

          It is Called the ” IPCC “…Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

          THE WORD “Evil” was not used by IPCC.

          Humans DUMP more than 135 times MORE CO2 into the atmosphere than
          ALL OF THE VOLCANOES on EARTH…..each and EVERY YEAR !

          THE Maunder Minimum was only .12% of the energy per year that Global Warming is generating per year.

          A good Questions to ask is what ended the 7500 year temperature descent into the next ice age which ended
          about 1750 ? ? ?
          .
          We are just started into the global warming that was predicted in 1965 to start showing its ugly side by 2015.

          10 of the 15 busiest Hurricane seasons have occurred since 2000.
          Storms world wide have doubled.
          Flooding Rain Events have more than doubled
          Droughts have doubled in number and nearly tripled in square miles affected
          Heat waves have doubled.
          Deserts have doubled in square miles.

      simplify it — the Ice Core Data will show you that the temperature will increase BEFORE any increases in atmospheric CO2. That is because the cause and effect is the opposite of what the IPCC tells you. Simplify it even more, go to Al Gore’s stupid movie and freeze frame those two charts he projects on the wall and use a straight edge to see why they lying sack of sheet rock didn’t OVERLAY the two!!!!!

    If we were worried about tornadoes we’d have a tornado shelter (many Midwesterners do). If we were worried about hurricanes we’d have hurricane shutters and more. Many do. If we were worried about fire we’d have alarms and sprinklers (many do). But nobody does anything (personally) to reduced their energy usage(in fact they increase it every day) So nobody can say they are really worried about it. Actions speak much louder than words (or politics)

    lame. The biggest reason the human-induced warming religion is a lie is that they can only rely on carbon dioxide and it doesn’t do what they say it does. Infrared radiation passes through carbon dioxide without any problems except for the frequencies of 2.7, 4.3, and 15.0 micrometers. These are the few frequencies that will cause a molecule of carbon dioxide to vibrate and therefore be absorbed. And IF all the carbon dioxide were taken out of the atmosphere, none of these frequencies would escape into space anyway because of other gases blocking, absorbing, refracting, reflecting them. So it is NOT the case that more carbon dioxide means more heat. And this can be verified by the Ice Core Data that clearly shows that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide always FOLLOW an increase in temperature.

    This Inter Glacial Warm Period PEAKED in temperatures about 7000 years ago.
    Temps have been FALLING since then, as we descend into the next ICE AGE.
    Much of the last 1000 years are CALLED the LITTLE ICE AGE…because of the FALLING Temps.
    Those Falling Temps ended around 1750ish…even thought Milankovitch Cycles causing Ice Ages have continue to this day.

    LOOK:

    For Millennia earth’s energy intake and output has been in a delicate balance….
    According to the Milankovitch Cycles….This Era, the Holocene Inter Glacial Warm Period peaked in temperatures…from then, temps. were descending as we entered the NEXT ICE AGE….7000-9000 years of falling temps.

    *** Even though Milankovitch Cycles are still pulling toward an ICE AGE
    ………temps. stopped falling around 1750. THE LITTLE ICE AGE which occurred over much of the last 1000 years was terminated….

    Used by Marxist as an argument that cannot ve argued against, future events. Pretty ingenious from the Marxist Darwinist to gain power and control. Facts always destroyed their arguments before.

      **** These Research studies find the planet****
      continues to accumulate heat. Year after year.

      HERE is a line of empirical evidence:
      .
      that human/industry CO2 emissions are causing global warming.
      **
      Climate Myth / The Skeptic-Denier position.

      There’s no empirical evidence
      “There is no actual evidence that carbon dioxide emissions
      are causing global warming. Note that computer models are just
      concatenations of calculations you could do on a hand-held calculator,
      so they are theoretical and cannot be part of any evidence.”
      (noted DENIER David Evans)
      ***

      The line of empirical evidence that humans
      are causing global warming is as follows:
      .
      We’re raising CO2 levels
      .
      Human carbon dioxide emissions are calculated
      from international energy statistics, tabulating coal, brown coal,
      peat, and crude oil production by nation and year, going back to 1751.
      .
      CO2 emissions have increased dramatically over the last century,
      climbing to the rate of 29 billion tonnes of CO2 per year in 2006 (EIA).
      .
      Atmospheric CO2 levels are measured at hundreds of
      monitoring stations across the globe.
      .
      Independent measurements are also conducted by airplanes and satellites.
      For periods before 1958, CO2 levels are determined from air bubbles trapped in polar ice cores.
      In pre-industrial times over the last 10,000 years,
      CO2 was relatively stable at around 180-to-280 parts per million.
      .
      Over the last 250 years, atmospheric CO2 levels have increased
      by about 100 parts per million.
      .
      Humans are emitting more than twice as much CO2 as what ends up staying there.
      Nature is reducing our impact on climate by absorbing
      more than half of our CO2 emissions.
      .
      The amount of human CO2 left in the air, called the “airborne fraction”,
      has hovered around 43% since 1958.
      CO2 traps heat
      .
      According to radiative physics and decades of laboratory measurements,
      increased CO2 in the atmosphere is expected/predicted to absorb
      more infrared radiation as it escapes back out to space.

      Human Agriculture & Industry is producing 120-135 TIMES MORE CO2
      than ALL of EARTH’s Volcanoes Combined….every year !

      in escaping radiation levels over the 26 year period

      Google (Harries 2001 research abstract)
      .
      What they found was a drop in Escaping Infra Red radiation
      at the PRECISE wavelength bands that greenhouse gases
      such as CO2 with H2O, CFC’s, Ozone,
      Nitrous Oxides, and methane (CH4) absorb energy.

      The change in DECREASE IN ESCAPING I.R. radiation was consistent
      with theoretical Expectations / Predictions.
      .
      This research & paper found

      “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase
      in the Earth’s greenhouse effect” and Warming on Earth.

      Google (Harries 2001 Research Abstract)

      When greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation,
      the energy heats the atmosphere which in turn
      re-radiates infrared radiation in all directions.
      .
      Some makes its way back to the earth’s surface.
      Hence
      we Expect/Predict to find more infrared radiation heading downwards.
      .
      Surface measurements from 1973 to 2008 find an increasing trend
      of infrared radiation returning to earth

      Google (Wang 2009 Research Abstract)
      .
      A regional study over the central Alps found that
      downward infrared radiation is increasing due to the
      enhanced greenhouse effect
      .
      Google (Philipona 2004 research abstract).
      .
      Taking this a step further, an analysis of high resolution spectral data
      allowed scientists to quantitatively attribute the increase in
      downward radiation to each of several greenhouse gases
      .
      Google (Evans 2006 Research abstract)
      .
      The results lead the authors to conclude that
      *
      *** “this experimental data should effectively end the argument by skeptics
      that no experimental evidence exists for the connection between
      greenhouse gas increases in the atmosphere and Climate Changes caused
      by global warming.”

      “The notion that climate scientists either invented or exaggerated global warming is one that’s been rumbling around for quite some time.

      It’s often used as an argument to oppose the theory of global warming
      but it’s not something that has ever been substantiated
      – despite numerous requests for links to corroborating evidence.
      It’s actually quite a bizarre claim given that global warming will be celebrating it’s 200th birthday in a few days.

      The first scientific connection to global warming dates from 1811
      when the physicist and astronomer Simeon Denis Poisson speculated
      that atmospheric pollution led to increased temperatures.

      In 1824 the French scientist Jean-Baptiste Fourier (a colleague of Poisson’s)
      put forward the notion that Earth’s atmosphere was retaining heat.
      His published his findings in a work entitled “General Remarks on the Temperature of the Terrestrial Globe and the Planetary Spaces”
      http://burgess1837.geologist-1011.mobi/

      In 1896 the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius was the first person to produce documented empirical evidence as to the existence of global warming, this was published in his paper “On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground”
      (carbonic acid being the chemical name of the time for carbon dioxide).
      http://www.rsc.org/images/Arrhenius1896_

      It’s sometimes claimed that scientists falsify the theory of global warming in order to receive funding. The problem with this argument is that any funding that is provided will be strictly controlled and in most cases will be monitored and audited by the funding body and / or their appointed auditors.

      Any deliberate misappropriation of funding would be a criminal offence
      for which the offender could be jailed.

      This has never happened.
      The Virginia State Attorney – Ken Cuccinelli – embarked on something of a witch-hunt
      against the climate scientist Michael Mann and invoked the
      ** Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act
      claiming that Mann had misappropriated public funds. The Judge threw the case out.
      http://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release
      I’m actually a climate scientist myself and I can assure you that it’s nothing to do with the money (I work in the private sector so there’s almost no public funding available).

      Anyone embarking on a climate science study course is well aware that
      they’re never going to become rich. If they were more concerned about money they would use their scientific background and work in petrochemicals or pharmaceuticals.

      It’s also assumed that climate scientists do nothing other than study climate change. In reality, this makes up a small proportion of the workload and many scientists will go through their whole career without ever researching climate change.

      The argument falls flat on it’s face yet again when you consider that companies
      with the most to lose from climate change being a reality
      – the oil and power companies – have their own in-house climate scientists
      and they are reporting exactly the same as those working in the public sector.
      Furthermore, climate change is a multi-disciplinary subject and involves scientists
      from a wide spectrum including botanists, marine biologists, oceanographers,
      cosmologists, physicists, atmospheric chemists etc.
      *It stretches credibility beyond all forms of reason to believe that such a
      huge number of people could be involved in a scam and not one person has ever spoken out.
      It’s also worth bearing in mind that the first warnings made to the US government
      about impending climate change came from research conducted by
      the US Army at the Camp Century base in Greenland.
      Are we also to believe that the military are also involved in some sort of global conspiracy?
      PS – The psychological aspect of climate change can be found within the realms
      of the psychology of denial and the diffusion of responsibility.
      These conditions manifest themselves as
      a) a filter mechanism that inhibits
      the acceptance of conflicting ideas and opinions in order to maintain a delusion and
      b) the reluctance to become involved on the basis that someone else will deal with the problem.

    One of most irrefutable Philosophical Tenets that exists: One can never know all of the outcomes of an option not taken. Therefore, there is no way of knowing if our planet would be in better, worse, or the same condition had Man never walked on it. This alone disproves the claims of the fools with “Ph D” after their names who insist that Man is warming and thus destroying the planet.

      Both sets of data were compared to discern any changes
      in escaping radiation levels over the 26 year period

      What they found was a drop in Escaping Infra Red radiation
      at the PRECISE wavelength bands that greenhouse gases
      such as CO2 with H2O, CFC's, Ozone,
      Nitrous Oxides, and methane (CH4) absorb energy.

      The change in DECREASE IN ESCAPING I.R. radiation was consistent
      with theoretical Expectations / Predictions.

      This research & paper found

      "direct experimental evidence for a significant increase
      in the Earth's greenhouse effect" and Warming on Earth.

      This Entire planet is accumulating heat
      .
      When there is more energy coming in than escaping back out to space,
      our climate accumulates heat.
      .
      The planet's total heat buildup can be derived by
      adding up the heat content from the ocean, atmosphere,
      land and ice.
      .
      Google (Murphy 2009 Research abstract)
      .
      Ocean heat content was determined down to 3000 metres deep.
      Atmospheric heat content was calculated from the surface temperature record
      and heat capacity of the troposphere.
      Land and ice heat content (eg – the energy required to melt ice)
      were also included.
      .
      Figure 4:
      Total Earth Heat Content from 1950
      .
      Google (Murphy 2009 Research Abstract)
      .
      Ocean data taken from Domingues et al 2008.
      .
      From 1970 to 2003, the planet has been accumulating heat at a
      rate of 190,260 gigawatts
      with the vast majority of the energy going into the oceans.
      Considering a typical nuclear power plant has an output of 1 gigawatt,
      imagine 190,000 nuclear power plants
      pouring their energy output directly into our oceans.
      What about after 2003?
      .
      A map of of ocean heat from 2003 to 2008 was constructed
      from ocean heat measurements down to 2000 metres deep
      .
      Google (von Schuckmann 2009).

      Globally, the oceans have continued to accumulate heat
      to the end of 2008 at a rate of 0.77 ± 0.11 Wm?2,
      consistent with other determinations of
      the planet's energy imbalance (Hansen 2005, Trenberth 2009).
      The planet continues to accumulate heat.
      .
      Figure 5: Time series of global mean heat storage (0–2000 m), measured in 108 Jm-2.
      .
      So we see a direct line of evidence that we're causing global warming.
      Human CO2 emissions far outstrip the rise in CO2 levels.
      The enhanced greenhouse effect is confirmed
      by satellite and surface measurements.
      The planet's energy imbalance is confirmed by summations of the
      planet's total heat content and ocean heat measurements.

    Global warming is a scam! All you have to do is read about the history of our planet. Our planet went through these cycles all the time. One example is: The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that may also have been related to other climate events around the world during that time, including China and other areas, lasting from about 950 to 1250.

    • R. Kooi January 20, 2018 at 3:56 pm #

      No, what you need to do is read and understand….that this transition is NEW and UNIQUE !

      Yes, we have had man CLIMATE CHANGES….THANKS to science YOU know that !…..Science is NOW telling you that this is different.

      Many Ice Ages (glaciations)
      Many Inter Glacial Warm Periods.
      THIS inter glacial warm period is called the Holocene.
      IT peaked in temperatures about 8,000+- years ago.
      SINCE then, temperatures have slowly been falling, in spits & spurts, toward our next Glaciation.
      .
      Take a look:
      http://www.realclimate.org/images//Marcott.png

      Then, this, EARTH’S MOST POWERFUL NATURAL CYCLE, ended !

      Within decades…. thinkers across the globe began to comment, experiment, study….this apparent dramatic change….as temperatures
      steadily ROSE.

      In 1799 Alexander von Humboldt, while he was in Venezuela, coined the statement “CLIMATE CHANGE” to describe the changes that human civilization was making to planet Earth, that he feared would be permanent changes to Climate.

      Also in 1799, Thomas Jefferson penned a paper postulating the very similar thing about changes humans were making

      By 1811, scientists had firmed the connection between Human Actions and This Warming event.
      By 1827 it was widely lectured about, questioned and debated.
      By 1856 “…the work of Eunice Foote, who three years prior to the start of Tyndall’s laboratory research, conducted similar experiments on absorption of radiant energy by atmospheric gases, such as CO2 and water vapor.
      .
      The presentation of her report at a major scientific convention in 1856
      was accompanied by postulation that even modest increases
      in the concentration of CO2 could result in significant atmospheric warming.”

      http://www.searchanddiscovery.com/..
      .
      CO2 is rising sharply due to human activity.
      .
      Earth Attempts to Cool itself, by emitting Infra Red Radiation to the Cold of Space.
      .
      Satellite & Surface MEASUREMENTS find less energy is escaping to space at CO2/H2O (& other Green House Gasses) absorption wavelengths.
      .
      Ocean and surface temperature measurements continue to climb even though ALL the CAUSES of Ice Ages continue to this day.

      These Research studies find the planet continues to accumulate heat. Year after year.

      This is no surprise….
      Hell, most of the last 1000 years is called the LITTLE ICE AGE….
      ICE AGE because of the Cold Temps.
      LITTLE….because it ENDED in the mid to late 1700’s !
      .
      even though ALL of the CAUSES of ice ages continue to this day….
      the dip in temperatures toward the next glaciation ARE NOW RISING !

    Here is the deal everyone. Global warming is real but not why everyone may think. This is all just a theory based on the information I’ve combined over the years. As the Earth rotates at a much slower rate each year, the sun is able to heat up our planet a lot faster. Now, the planet is also moving further away from the sun as well. This will also keep some type of balance. What people don’t realize is, our giant land masses around the planet are moving constantly and will eventually end up back together as one giant land mass again. This is fact. The movement of land masses will make the seasons change as well over time. Eventually the artic land masses will move into a position that will cause the ice to melt. This will seem as if our planet is doomed but it is not. Human life will still remain for this time period until a second ice age happens. This will become the true test of the human race. Hopefully by this point we have found other habitable planets to live on. By this time, those who still remain will see the spectacle of the Andromeda-Milky Way collision. Also around this time, our Sun will start to become a red giant. If the Earth is not far enough, the Sun will engulf what we know as Earth and all life on the planet will be destroyed with it. This is all speculation and in hopes that the human race does not kill itself off before these amazing events will occur.

Now there is freezing rain for the past few years, we actually have a winter season, and we got snow.

    You people should open your eyes. Coral reefs are dying and sea levels are rising because of melting glaciers. Those glaciers are the polar bear’s home, and they are losing them. It’s called CLIMATE CHANGE, so of course it’s going to get way colder. Climate change is when there are extreme cases of weather/temperature changes. So yeah, there are going to be extreme cases of hot weather and COLD weather.

        over 11,000 glaciers in Alaska and only 3 are increasing…thanks to record snows across vast swathes of Alaska….the rest of the snow caps are melting in the dramatic warmth of ALASKA.

        Jessica Moore, former CCMS, Prineville, OR KPBSD in Soldotna, AK
        Updated 6h ago

        Being in Alaska I observe the symptoms of climate change as observed by the local weather more acutely than those at lower latitudes. The shifts are more extreme here, and politics aside, I’d like to show you what is happening in my area.
        While others have pointed out already that weather & climate (weather trends over very long spans of time) are different, I can offer you my observations on recent Alaskan weather. The ice on the lake at my place is freezing about 3 weeks later than it did when I was a child (I’m 43), averaging thinner ice in the winters, and leaving about 2 weeks earlier.
        Consequently, the migratory birds are staying longer on both ends as well. And, the bears are out longer too. While that puts a spin on our predator prey dynamics here on the Kenai Peninsula, so too does the fact that I am now able to grow Zone 4 & 5 plants in my flower beds that once were hardy to only Zone 3..
        I observe the tree line on the Kenai & Chugach mountain ranges to have steadily marched up the hill (warmer weather affords less permafrost and greater O2, so trees can now sustain themselves at higher altitudes) and where I live thunder & lightning storms in the summer are now common and haven’t been in the past. Similarly, our kettle lakes, which are a product of the most recent glaciation and also the type in my yard, are shrinking in circumference as the weather is warmer. This is because the muskeg is drier and now better able to sustain trees. My home used to host a view of the mountains, and that view is now blocked by birch & white spruce trees, species which don’t like their feet to get wet. As further evidence of this, lakes with trees around them fill in, and the younger trees are shorter than the older ones, demonstrating the shrinking of the lakes.

        The thawing of permafrost, and subsequent drying of wetlands it changing our biomes up here. As the permafrost thaws, it is releasing an alarming amount of CO2 and methane… which as you know, both trap heat (for they are greenhouse gases in their own right) & this will only exacerbate our problem. That is it’s own topic, however.
        In the once boggy wetlands (muskeg) of western Alaska, ungulate species are being introduced to forage on grasses and sedges, because such vegetation is now prevalent there and the ground is now firm enough to support the weight of browsers. The estuaries where waterfowl used to come to feed are rather birdless because the area is no longer a wet tidal marsh.
        Similarly, this drying is having an affect on our fire patterns. Dense with peat moss, now dried out, it is a perfect storm for woodland fires. And, you may notice that many of your fire jumpers and teams are spending an increasing amount of their fire season in Alaska. Indeed, at one point 85% of the landmass of the nation’s fires were in Alaska in 2015:

        This drying effect is also demonstrated well in our local spruce bark beetle outbreaks. The beetles prefer the warmer, drier, and longer summers, so are having a fantastic time destroying our taiga. This compounds the increase in fire events exponentially and we are now currently due for yet another outbreak.

        This is separate from the issue of our glaciers receding at an unprecedented rate: one cannot even see either Exit or Portage glaciers from the viewing platforms that were made in the 90’s anymore. The following image demonstrates the measured retreat of the ice.

        I am not going to assert that my local environment is changing because of climate progression, or that climate is changing because of weather. That is not my interest. All I am doing is demonstrating that the natural environment in my little neck of the woods is different, & my ecosystems are changing as a result.
        I post this because I am aware that some people do not yet understand that the global climate is indeed changing. We are evidenced with coming out of the last glaciation on time, as compared to all other interglacial periods. But, we are doing so at a clip that is unequivocally unprecedented in Earth’s history. And, just like we could tell that the burn in the ozone hole was man-made in the 80’s, we can tell that we are causing this particular deviation.
        Many cannot observe their climate or weather changing as acutely as we are able to in the northern latitudes. Thus, my post. It’s Jan 26, 2018 at current. When I was married 24 yrs ago in November there were over 13 feet of snow on the ground in my coastal town (as was customary then), we now have about 3 inches & we’ve not had snow deep enough for snowmobiling here in four winters. Feel free to share my post. Ps- I do not own the photos.

        • Kenneth Clark June 27, 2018 at 1:50 am #

          I do not deny that weather is changing. What I have issue with is governments blaming “the people” for the natural cycles of the earth. Why? To collect dollars from those they point a finger at.
          The earth has been through many of these natural cycles in its past. Scientific evidence in the earth show it. But this time around the politicians have taken a liking to the monies they can generate by passing legislation that lays blame.
          Plant life eats co2 and generates oxygen. We have fossil proof that Arizona, most of Texas and New Mexico were once ocean. Who caused the drying and evaporation of that ocean? Ice and glaciers, at one time in history, covered most of the northern states. Who caused that melting?
          Yes the weather is changing due primarily to the normal cycles of the earth. According to science, Yellowstone is many thousand years past time to erupt.
          If humans are responsible and government wants to lay blame, they should look in the mirror. Just think of the billions of acres confiscated to build interstates and highways… all demanded by government. Look at the Everglades. The government drained an entire ecosystem there.

            The VAST amount of research into Global Warming and its’ resulting threatening climate changes is done in over over 150 nations around the world without
            ANY DIRECT ‘government’ investment or involvement.
            .
            THIS is the Holocene Inter Glacial Warm Period
            .
            ( GOOGLE: The Holocene Optimum )
            .
            World Temperatures PEAKED about 7500-9000 years ago.
            .
            Since that PEAK,
            temps have been slowly falling,
            in spurts,

            long before governments were involved in funding.

            7500 years of FALLING temperatures toward the
            next Glaciation,
            ENDED ABRUPTLY in the late 1700’s.
            .
            Since then,
            temperatures have been rising in spurts.

            THIS IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH EARTH’S Natural Cycles.
            .
            Look for yourself:

            .
            Earth is still Being Pulled,
            by orbit, AWAY from the Sun.
            Earth’s Axial Tilt is still AWAY from the Sun.
            Earth’s wobble is still conducive to Glaciation.
            .
            Equally important is the FACT that Our Sun’s ” Energy Output ” has
            DECREASED a bit over the last 40 years.
            ..
            EARTH SHOULD BE ‘COOLING’ and ‘COOLING’ DRAMATICALLY !

            SO,
            What Terminated Earth’s MOST powerful Cycle, The glaciation (Ice Age)?

            1799
            Alexander von Humboldt studied,
            worried and postulated that
            Human Activities & pollution
            would
            CAUSE

            .
            1799
            Thomas Jefferson (thousands of miles away) also penned a paper on observed ‘climate changes’ which he stated was probably caused by man.

            “….a paper entitled “Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun’s rays,” by Eunice Foote.
            In two brisk pages, Foote’s paper anticipated the revolution in climate science by experimentally demonstrating the effects of the sun on certain gases and theorizing how those gases would interact with Earth’s atmosphere for the first time.
            In a column of the September 1856 issue of Scientific American titled “Scientific Ladies,”
            Foote is praised for supporting her opinions with “practical experiments.”
            The writers noted:
            “this we are happy to say has been done by a lady.”

            Foote’s research & paper demonstrated the interactions of the sun’s rays
            on different gases through a series of experiments….”

            Lay out proof that humans accelerated that last major climatic cycle of the earth and I will reconsider my position.
            Until then, please consider that when these reports are published, the margin of error as in this last report, is never considered. The report that is currently being used to further this false narrative has a published margin of error that is 900% greater that no man made climate change is occurring. Why is that fact not touted? Could it be that it would kill billions of dollars of pocket money for Big Al and his minions?

        The unique isotope of burned fossil fuels created CO2 accounts for the increase in CO2 in our atmosphere.
        The Research from over 100 nations, peer reviewed, published, critiqued and recreated using alternate data confirms that HUMANS are LARGELY to blame for the dramatic termination
        of Earth’s MOST POWERFUL
        Natural Cycle, GLACIATIONS.

        This Holocene Inter Glacial Warm Period Peaked in temperatures 7500-9000 years ago.
        Since then, temps have, worldwide, been slowly falling, in spurts, toward the next GLACIATION…as has been recorded in nature dating back nearly a million years or so.

        The QUESTION that should be asked is what terminated this slow slide toward the next glaciation (aka Ice Age)?

    I dont know if i am to late for this discussion but point 7 is litterally nothing in favor of the “climate change hoax theory”. (it is actually a hypothesis)
    The link for “only 75 scientists said they believe in global warming” is not working, and those 31k who signed the petition, are only 0.07 precent of the scientists in the us rounding up. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/04/what-if-every-scientist-and-engineer-us-marched-how-many-would-be

    the first three points also dont help since weather can drastically change the results of temperatures during a single year.

    point 8 is also just ignorant, sure, nature releases a lot of co2, but it also takes up that co2 again during the year. both forests and even the oceans do that.

    i cannot say anything against point 9 since i am not able to do it with my current information and i will not check the sources right now, but point 10 is just personal attacks and just some people wont do any noticable difference. we need the contracts like the one signed in paris (which the us didnt sign btw.) that take on the issue on a global, or at least national scale.

    the points involving animals (5&6) are not really an indicator that climate change is a hoax, it just shows that the indangered animals can recover if given the chance.

    if you are still believing this list after reading my explanations, read some articles on the other side of the coin if you haven’t (like I just decided to do) and try to contact experts on the matter if you are more interested. I feel like far to many people believe stuff without evidence of any of it. (religion, flat earth theory – not a theory but a hypothesis as I said about climate change being a hoax, and mistrust of goverments without any reason to.)

      One of the contributing factors to Earth’s most powerful cycle…Glaciations ( ice ages )

      ((( Why Is It NOT COOLING? )))
      .http://www.oocities.org/marie.mitchell@rogers.com/climate_files/1800YearGlobalTemperature.jpg

      Earth’s annual orbit around the sun carried it to its furthest point from our star, its aphelion, 7/6/18 Friday at 10:46 MDT, according to Space.com.
      .
      At that moment Earth was more than 94.5 million miles from the sun, which is about 1.5 million miles farther than the third planet’s average distance, or twice as far away as it was Jan. 3 during the perihelion, when Earth was closest to the sun.
      .
      That is about a 2 percent difference in distance, an inestimable amount in the cosmic scheme of things.”

      “….summary of 10 direct, measured lines of empirical evidence that point to human-induced climate change.

      In some cases, I have added layman’s references in addition to the more rigorous citations

      Burning Fossil Fuels Correlates with Rising CO2.

      Humans are currently emitting around 30 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (CDIAC(ornl.gov)).

      100+ times as Much CO2 is emitted by Human Activities than all of the Volcanoes on Earth Combined, EVERY YEAR.

      ( 0.3 billions tons by volcanoes versus 30 billion tons by mankind.)

      Of course,
      it could be coincidence that CO2 levels are rising so sharply at the same time so let’s look at more evidence that we’re responsible for the rise in CO2 levels.
      .
      The proportion of Carbon-12 is increasing. (a distinct Burning-Fossil-Fuel isotope)
      .
      When we measure the type of carbon accumulating in the atmosphere, we observe more of the type of carbon that comes from fossil fuels (Manning 2006 (noaa.gov)).

      [Blog explanation:
      How do we know that recent CO2 increases are due to human activities? (realclimate.org)]
      .
      Oxygen Levels Dropping.
      This is corroborated by measurements of oxygen in the atmosphere. (at over 100 locations world wide)
      .
      Oxygen levels are falling
      in line with the amount of carbon dioxide rising, just as you’d expect from fossil fuel burning which takes oxygen out of the air to create carbon dioxide (Manning 2006 (noaa.gov)).
      .
      Coral Also Confirms They’re Fossil Carbons.
      Further independent evidence that humans are raising CO2 levels comes from measurements of carbon found in coral records going back several centuries.

      These find a recent sharp rise in the type of carbon that comes from fossil fuels ( Pelejero 2005 (sciencemag.org)).
      .
      More Heat is Being Trapped at CO2’s Wavelength.
      So we know humans are raising CO2 levels.

      What’s the effect?
      Multiple Satellites (multiple nations) measure less heat escaping out to space, at the particular wavelengths that CO2 absorbs heat, thus finding “direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth’s greenhouse effect”.
      (Harries 2001 (nature.com),
      Griggs 2004 (aip.org),
      Chen 2007 (eumetsat.eu)).
      .
      More Downward Infrared Radiation.
      .
      If less heat is escaping to space,
      > > where is it going?
      .
      Back to the Earth’s surface.
      Surface measurements confirm this, observing more downward infrared radiation
      (Philipona 2004 (agu.org),
      Wang 2009 (agu.org)).
      .
      A closer look at the downward radiation finds more heat returning at CO2 wavelengths, leading to the conclusion that

      “this experimental data should effectively end the argument by skeptics that no experimental evidence exists for the connection between greenhouse gas increases in the atmosphere and global warming.”
      (Evans 2006 (confex.com)).
      .
      It’s Not the Sun
      If an increased greenhouse effect is causing global warming, we should see certain patterns in the warming.

      For example,
      the planet should warm faster at night than during the day.
      This is indeed being observed (Braganza 2004 (sjsu.edu), Alexander 2006 (knmi.nl)).

      [Blog explanation:
      Human Fingerprint on Climate Change:

      Nights warming faster than days (skepticalscience.com)]
      and
      the Stratosphere
      is Cooling Since the Heat Is Being Trapped in the Troposphere.
      .
      Another distinctive pattern of greenhouse warming is cooling in the upper atmosphere, otherwise known as the stratosphere.
      .
      This is exactly what’s happening (Jones 2003 (agu.org)).
      .
      The Tropopause is Rising.
      With the lower atmosphere (the troposphere) warming and the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere) cooling, another consequence is the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere, otherwise known as the tropopause,
      should rise as a consequence of greenhouse warming.
      .
      This has been observed (Santer 2003 (nyu.edu)).
      .
      The Ionosphere is Contracting.
      An even higher layer of the atmosphere, the ionosphere, is expected to cool and contract in response to greenhouse warming.

      This has been observed by satellites (Laštovi?ka 2006 (cas.cz)).
      .
      In addition to the 10 indicators proposed by Skeptical Science, there are many other empirically demonstrated lines of evidence for the rapid warming the earth is undergoing that should also be considered.
      .
      Here are two such items.
      .
      11) Species are headed to the poles and/or higher elevations. According to published research in the journal Science from August 2011, species are heading toward the poles and/or higher elevations.
      (Source: Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming)

      (The Lowly Pine Beetle, confined by COLD Temps. for millennia, to FAR Southern Latitudes … is now found routinely north of Fairbanks Alaska and across near Artic Canada.
      .
      Canadian Forestry Officials complain that this beetle NOW fells more Lodgepole Pines than Logging & Forest Fires Combined.)
      .
      12) Plants are blooming far earlier each year.
      NASA research supports this (Source: Decades of Data Show Spring Advancing Faster Than Experiments Suggest) as well as a 2011 University of California-San Diego study of Arctic blooms of photoplankton

      (Source: Researchers discover arctic blooms occurring earlier)

      Finally, I leave you two excellent data points to consider:

      Wide Spread Scientific Agreement.
      (1) Scientific Consensus.
      No scientific organization of national or international standing opposes the Widespread SHARED UNDERSTANDING (consensus} regarding human-induced effects on climate change.
      (Source: Scientific opinion on climate change)
      .
      For those who may allege conspiracy,
      consider the sheer number and diversity of the organizations listed here, representing diverse scientific backgrounds from Western and non-Western nations alike.
      .
      (Besides, if this were a conspiracy, how did they get plants and animals to collude?
      For That Matter,
      how did they get Muslims and Jews and Christians to agree)

      (2) Independent Analyses and Converted Skeptics:
      In 2012, a Berkeley physicist completed an independent research project, funded in part by fossil fuel billionaires
      (the Koch brothers), to evaluate raw global temperature data and come to its own conclusions.
      The result?

    If the world were to warm the way it is claimed, the oceans would evaporate and the Earth would have a gigantic cloud cover, which would block out the sunlight. The result would be global freezing another ice age. When the rains resume, the snow will melt and the oceans will exist again The idea of of global warming like over-population has a hidden agenda. The US industrialised and heavily consumed coal to do that. But as soon as China started industrialising and trying to become an economic power, global warming campaign started. China is going to continue till it has achieved its goal.
    Over-population is being condemned, because a country with huge population is not easy to defeat and carry out genocide against. Countries with small populations are easy to end and territory occupied. Indigenous Americans were easily exterminated because they had a small population.

          .

          Which is Kinda like filling in the blanks while waiting for the ice age to start ?
          .
          2nd
          THEN THEY came with thousands of press releases about a GLOBAL WARMING HIATUS.

          .

          Kinda like filling in the blanks with NOTHING but a Name Change.
          .
          3rd
          AND THEN THEY came with thousands of press releases about a GLOBAL COOLING.

          .
          and then
          Then they pronounce a SOLAR MINIMUM was about to hit in 2007-2009…

          ———> Look out snow in summer !
          ———–>except, of course, temperatures continued rising!

          Roughly every two years, we’re treated to headlines repeating that 70’s myth !
          .

          Earth is headed for an imminent “mini ice age.”
          It happened in 2013, 2015, and again just recently at the tail end of 2017.

          Now
          we are hearing about a

          NEW GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM.

          and
          now
          these 2 Skeptics
          SHOW UP EATING CROW !

          .” A STUNNING ADMISSION:
          .
          “The UAH’s Dr. Roy Spencer & Dr. John Christy?
          —both leading deniers?
          —Both having predicted that Global Warming would End
          around 2000 as the Earth would return to its falling temps.
          as we enter the next Glaciation.
          —reported just last month that the UAH data shows a
          .
          “Global climate Temperature trend since Nov. 16, 1978 [of]
          +0.14+C
          [0.22+F] per decade.”
          .
          THAT is 1.4C per century.
          FAR HIGHER THAN ANY STATISTICAL NORM.
          In Geologic History,

          a truly rapid rise in temps, causing large specie Die Offs was 1C in 7500 years.
          .
          OUR Temperatures have been increasing all along !
          1.

          NONE !
          .
          Dr. SPENCER:
          “my UAH cohort & boss John Christy, who does the detailed matching between satellites, is pretty convinced that the RSS data is undergoing ” SPURIOUS COOLING ” because RSS is still using the old NOAA-15 satellite which has a decaying orbit…”
          ..
          Spencer & Christie found it ” ideologically convenient ”

          to allow the decay inaccuracies to support their previous fallacious predictions.
          .
          So
          2014 was the hottest temperatures ever recorded
          until
          2015 was the hottest temperatures ever recorded
          until
          2016 was the hottest temperatures ever recorded
          and
          2017 was the hottest 2nd to 2016 !
          2018 just snuggled in between these…
          WE HAVE THE HOTTEST 5 YEARS in thousands of years!

            I just saw a report that the largest glacier in the arctic is growing. Global warming is over. All the cooling deniers have is computer models. When you write the program you can get the results you want. In 1989 we were told that by the year 2000 several countries would be devastated by the rising oceans. It didn’t happen. Al Gore, the guru of the hoax told us Miami and Manhattan would be under water by 2013. It didn’t happen. The science community sent 4 ships up to the arctic to document the lack of ice. They all got stuck in the ice they said wasn’t there. They had to be rescued.

            1 glacier, albeit a Big One !

            But based on that 1 glacier…YOU DECLARE GLOBAL WARMING IS OVER ???

            SURPRISE!

            There are about 11,000 glaciers in Alaska alone.
            Snows across Alaska have been sky high, thanks to a warming Pacific and increased evaporation.

            3 Glaciers are growing.
            ——————————————————————–
            Science NEVER said that several NATIONS would be devastated by 2000.

            Science never said Manhattan would be under water let alone by a date certain…..CLIMATOLOGY
            is the study of LONG TERM TRENDS…..50-100’s of years….

            ———————————————————————
            LARGE SEGMENTS OF MIAMI ARE frequently are under water and MIAMI and MANHATTAN are spending BILLIONS of Dollars to fight Sun Shine Floods as well as
            Hi Tide Surf damage and storm flooding.
            ———————————————————————-
            In the 1950’s, 9 cities/towns in the USA reported

            Sun Shine flooding and damaging high tides.

            In 2018, over 100 towns and cities experienced regular flooding issues from these problems.

            So that would indicate that the last Ice Age, where it is known that the majority of the USA was covered in ice and glaciers, was destroyed by a 1.25 Degree C, temperature increase over a 10,000 year period… Hmmm, based upon the Chicken Little stories if today it must have been caused by those dastardly Neandrathites and their cursed invention of the wheel… otherwise the USA would still be ice ladened, freezing and home to millions of prehistoric Penguins.

            No dear,
            Natural Glaciations follow natural cycles….milankovitch cycles

            We were well withing those natural cycles when temperatures peaked about 7.500 to 8,500 years Ago.

            From then, in accordance with natural cycles, temps slowly, in spits and spurts, have descended for 8000 years….

            THAT ENDED in the late 1700’s

            When Human Population, and Human Activities TERMINATED those natural cycles !

            “Natural Glaciations follow natural cycles….”
            Hmmm, interesting concept. So, this tells me, as it should you, the earth has a natural warming and cooling cycle that the earth, on her own, has went through many, many times in its history and these cycles are unpredictable in advance as to how accelerated they can be.
            Now, with the daily screaming of the Chicken Little hypothesis, we see ice growing at both poles. We have not seen the catastrophic sea levels predicted over the last 75 years. This alone should show you that thus hoax is nothing more than a money grabbing industry built around instilling fear and doom upon the gullibility of the masses.
            Will the climate change and become catastrophic in some areas??? Absolutely. It has happened many times throughout unrecorded history. Is thus predictable? Absolutely not. Why, because certain humans, in all of their crisis creating wisdom, are incapable of predicting even tonight’s weather for a solid four hour period. The only accurate predictions that are or ever have been made are during the event or after the fact.
            True story… My nephew went to meteorological school. He informed me as well as his mom and dad that the way that weather folks forecast the Percentage of possible precipitation. It’s a really high tech, instrument, satellite and model driven method… not.
            The Meteorologist phisically steps outside, looks around and decides the Percentage of precip based solely upon his/her observation at that moment in time. Then broadcasts, not as their opinion but as fact, their opinion. Much like the Liberal, Socialist Democrats do. I guess they figure if the weather man/girl can make a living off of personal opinion that us wrong 90-97% of the time, so can they.

            SINCE that PEAK in Temperatures,

            world temperatures have been slowly falling.

            “….a paper entitled “Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun’s rays,” by Eunice Foote.
            In two brisk pages, Foote’s paper anticipated the revolution in climate science
            by experimentally demonstrating the effects of the sunlight on certain gases
            and theorizing how those gases would interact with Earth’s atmosphere for the first time.
            In a column of the September 1856 issue of Scientific American titled “Scientific Ladies,”
            Foote is praised for supporting her opinions with “practical experiments.”

    Its hard to buy into something when the narrative continually changes. In the 70s it was global cooling, then the 90s it was global warming, and now its just the extremely vague, climate change. Yeah, climate changes, always has and always will.

    Giving the government more power is not the answer. Even if it was we wouldn’t be able to offset the pollution from China and India. I thought NYC was supposed to be submerged at this point anyways…a man can dream can’t he…a man can dream.

    • Kenneth Clark February 15, 2019 at 11:34 pm #

      Well Nate, my take is a little like this… all these people, primarily politicians and ex politicians, want the givernme t to have all of this power to “Fix” what ever the climate hot button is today. If you really think about it, the government and its never ending construction of one “Project” or another, to waste taxpayer money’s, could be the culprit behind “man-made” climate change if humans at all are found to actually be to blame. Just count up the millions of square miles of asphalt put down at the demand of the government. Shoot look at the Everglades that politicians legislated as unnecessary and lol now at their trying to restore what’s left of it because it is a crucial part of the ecological system in Florida.
      No more power to government. They have destroyed enough already.

        Well since Alexander von Humboldt Coined the Term

        CLIMATE CHANGE and defined it in 1799 on a tour of South America

        which is still in use today as he defined it… and Thomas Jefferson and John Adams discussed it from 1799 to 1804…..and by 1811 science had already tied these climate changes to human activities….and by

        1856 Scientist Foote had experimentally demonstrated that changes in atmospheric gasses changed the HEATING of Solar Radiation…

    “my UAH cohort & boss John Christy, who does the detailed matching between satellites,is pretty convinced that the RSS data is undergoing SPURIOUS COOLING because RSS is stillusing the old NOAA-15 satellite which has a decaying orbit…”
    .
    While every one else correct the errors in sat. data thru mathematics but they had accused others of manipulating data sooo…Spencer & Christ found it ideologically convenient to allow the satellite decay inaccuracies to support their previous predictions FOR YEARS ! !

      Since you seem to have a wealth of statistics from these reports you cherry pick to cite, you conveniently (as the Main Steam Media has taught you.) Neglect the margin of error published with the report you love to cherry pick. If you are going to cite and continuously cram down people’s throats your dogma, at least honest and make the published Margin of Error, from the same report known.
      Since you also like to calculate, you will find that the published Margin of Error calculates to 900 times more likely that NOTHING SIGNIFICANT is changing in increased planetary temps. Read it… you’ll be amazed. I was.

      • R. Kooi March 13, 2019 at 1:40 pm #

        EVERY STUDY I HAVE READ has entire subsections on the Margin of Error..and the Changes which threaten the world today, are FAR OUTSIDE THE MARGIN of error.

        YOUR ideology has led you to make a very foolish comment

        “900 times more likely”
        ———————————–
        Can present day global warming be natural, like how a Glaciation is Normal (an ice age is natural)?
        (( as YOU seem to be claiming ))
        No,
        it cannot!
        This has been the main challenge facing climate science from the beginning:
        how to distinguish (initially) very small changes in temperature caused by human activity, from:
        a) background “noise”
        and
        b) natural processes.
        .
        The conclusion based on many different lines of scientific evidence,
        from independent Research Teams in 100+ nations is:

        a) We can clearly detect a systematic increase in global temperatures and

        b) There’s no other plausible explanation for this other than anthropogenic greenhouse gasses.

        Yes,
        climate change has occurred naturally in the past.

        Climate experts have never needed to be reminded of this by amateur scientists.
        .
        They’ve known this for a very long time.
        (this Warming Ended a Natural Earth Cycle of Glaciation Prematurely
        …after 8,000+ years of DECLINING TEMPERATURES Toward this glaciation)
        .
        http://www.realclimate.org/images//Marcott.png

        So—of course—they need to be sure that the changes we are seeing are being caused by human influence… and they are.

        What’s more, we have a pretty darn good understanding of what has caused past, natural changes in climate.
        What’s happening now ‘ IS ‘ different.

        Climate is a “noisy” system.
        .
        .
        This is obvious if you look at any of the many temperature trend lines.
        Any given location temperature jumps up and down several degrees from year to year, appearing as “random” variations.

        What’s more,
        nighttime low temperatures show a different trend from daytime high temperatures.
        Yet when this noise is averaged out, most locations on earth (not all, but most!),
        show a clear increase in temperatures over the past probably two centuries.

        The year-to-year variations (scientists use the term “interannual”) are caused by variations in flow patterns in the atmosphere, ocean currents,
        small changes in solar activity, measurement errors, volcanic eruptions, plus
        other causes.
        Detecting the presence of a “human signal” against this background noise was difficult and was initially uncertain.

        As scientists are generally a skeptical lot,

        it took around 100 years from the time the theory of Anthropogenic (human-caused) Global Warming
        (AGW) was first proposed (in 1896) before it became widely accepted in the scientific community,
        which happened during the 1990s.
        .
        Confidence in this conclusion has grown Much stronger since then.

        Bear in mind that proof of AGW has come from many different lines of evidence, and many different fields of science. not just one.
        .
        We are confident in the conclusion of AGW because so many different data sets all “fit together” coherently.
        This would be impossible to accomplish if AGW were a “hoax” as some paranoid anti-science zealots have claimed.

        Increasing global temperatures are documented through land surface temperature measurements, sea surface temperatures, deep sea temperatures, atmospheric balloon measurements, satellite temperatures readings… all of which show warming. In addition, there are the indirect effects, such as migration of climatic zones northward (in the Northern Hemisphere), shrinkage of both the Southern and Northern Polar ice caps, retreat of nearly every mountain glacier in the world, plus much more.

        But
        the question, was whether these changes could represent a natural process.
        .
        The answer is “No”.
        There are no other known processes that can credibly explain the warming that has been observed, other than CO2, released into the atmosphere from combustion of fossil fuels.

        This is a clear and strong conclusion.

        Skeptics have suggested other POSSIBLE explanations for warming,
        but these have ALL been examined in detail and disproven absolutley.

        Nevertheless,
        some people continue (even a few contrarian/denier scientists) to propose the same alternative explanations that have already been shown to be false… but these people are not skeptics, but denialists.
        Denialism first appeared as a political ideology in the 1990s, at around the same time that scientists were becoming convinced that AGW is real.

        Prior to that, AGW was not viewed as a political threat, but once it became clear that earth was actually warming, and that human activity was the cause, certain political and economic interests became concerned about what the response would be…. And being a bit paranoid about powers of government, they were more afraid of the response to climate change than they were of AGW itself.

        Unfortunately,
        rather than making this the topic for disagreement (which would have been a very valid discussion), they chose an alternative approach, which was to claim that climate change was not even happening…. or if it were, that humans were not responsible. Once this viewpoint became entrenched in political ideology, people have continued to believe it, even now that the evidence for AGW is clear.

        Let
        there be no misunderstanding about this, AGW was not initially a “left wing” issue.
        The right-wing paranoia about government influence made it a political issue.

        This is very, very unfortunate, as if we stand any possibility of arresting or slowing the rate of warming, we’re losing valuable time arguing about whether the earth is flat or round.

          So, if all these reports (basically opinions) that your lead trooper, Al Gore, is preaching to get rich and finance his own monstrous carbon footprint hold any weight at all, then explain how human intervention either caused or halted the last or any previous “Climate Change”.
          It is known, from fossil records alone that most, if not all, of what is now known as the United States if America, to have been under water or ice or both as recent as 10,000 years ago. So where was the human catastrophe or healing in that recent time period that either negatively or positively affected climate? They can’t even accurately predict weather for a solid four hour period, it’s a hit or miss and has been for as long as I can remember. Why, because Mother Nature is not predictable. In a controlled environment, accurate predictions can be made. Mother Nature is not controllable, no matter how powerful the “Great and Mighty” Al Gore thinks he is behind his curtain.

          • R. Kooi March 21, 2019 at 3:11 pm #

            Al Gore is Not now, nor has he ever been a scientist.

            He has not earned a dime from the movies and speeches.

            He is a failed politician but a VERY successful Venture Capitalist and Real Estate Broker.

            Is there any truth to the idea that storms are increasing in intensity due to Global warming?
            Michael Barnard
            Michael Barnard, Low-carbon Innovation Strategist

            This is a chart from a peer-reviewed paper regarding the severity of typhoons — tropical storms of similar severity to Atlantic hurricanes — in Asia. They have increased in both severity and frequency over the past 40 years.

            This graph is mine from publicly available data on accumulated cyclonic energy (ACE) of Atlantic hurricanes. ACE tracks not only the peak velocity of winds, but the velocity every six hours for the duration of the storm. While imperfect, it’s appears clear that while frequency may not be increasing, energy is.

            And ACE is imperfect as a measure. It doesn’t measure total air mass, a function of storm diameter. It doesn’t measure rainfall, a function of storm diameter, water temperature and linger time over affected areas. ACE numbers for Sandy, Florence and Harvey weren’t high, but those were very destructive storms fueled by climate change.

            Three different peer-reviewed studies state that Hurricane Harvey was made worse by climate change.

            A recent study showed that Florence’ rainfall was likely 50% higher and its diameter 10% larger due to climate change. Those are both factors which significantly increase damage.

            Sentence 1:
            You have finally spoken a truth even though I have never even eluded to your Big Al being anything but a money hungry manipulator.

            Sentence 2:
            This is where you begin your fall back into the abyss. Al Gore has received millions upon millions in his efforts to replicate the story of Chicken Little in real life and has found that people will buy anything. Maybe his first lesson in the gullibility of people was the massive success of the Pet Rock.
            So if it can be proven he has not received money, then he has received the largest write offs to avoid paying taxes (the same thing you accuse Trump of) but it’s ok for Big Al… right?
            …talk about Swamp things.

            Sentence 3:
            Again, you see a little light. He has failed at many things including his political attempts. He is however a master manipulator, like the Clintons. He has learned, again like the Clintons, that a non profit can prove very beneficial to maintaining and gaining wealth without the tax consequences of an above board business. But hey, what ever it takes to live the life on the backs of the people right???
            Wonder how many sweet real estate deals he has made for himself as a result of his “Chicken Little” tours?
            …things that make you go…hmmm.

            Sentences 4 to the end:
            Your vague attempt to avoid my questions. Good try, but no cigar.

            1.
            I am a Goldwater Conservative…so I have no intention of defending Al Gore…you on the other hand have little of substance to say on 200 years of Global Warming & resulting Climate Change Solid SCIENCE ! !
            2.
            One of the Right of center media sites attempted to prove your comment that Gore has gotten millions from his speeches and movies….and found everything was donated to the Climate Movement. PERIOD!
            3.
            Did you have anything regarding Global Warming and Climate Change to say?

            Anything backed up by ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC Research?
