Scientists and researchers agree; if there’s no change by 2015, the “Climate Change” models (and theories) are BULLSHIT (but we already knew that). This will have some serious implications for those “climatologists.” - oh and that guy who “invented” the internet…
(David Rose-Daily Mail) – The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. Hey, will you look at that! And to think, I argued over this years ago with a tree-hugger college professor of mine. According to him, I was the one who was duped and misinformed…
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century. Ice age, you say? Hmm… that doesn’t sound anything at all like the global warming thing, they swore was going to happen. So maybe it’s time to buy stock in Carhart and Timberland?
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997. Of course it was without fanfare… The Climate Change crowd doesn’t want THAT little ditty getting out!

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food. So… I can maybe take the kids sledding next year?
Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots seen at their peak.
We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’ – which is why the week before’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th Century.
Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona – derived from magnetic-field measurements 120,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface – suggest that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still. So decreased solar activity = lower temperatures, increased solar activity = higher temperatures. Ok cool, got it.
According to a paper issued last week by the Met Office, there is a 92 per cent chance that both Cycle 25 and those taking place in the following decades will be as weak as, or weaker than, the ‘Dalton minimum’ of 1790 to 1830. In this period, named after the meteorologist John Dalton, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2C. Gee, wasn’t that just after the Industrial Revolution happened? You remember those days, right? Everything was coal-fired, sulfur and lead was used in everything, wastes were literally dumped in rivers and streams… Funny that the planet was getting COLDER with all those greenhouse gasses.
However, it is also possible that the new solar energy slump could be as deep as the ‘Maunder minimum’ (after astronomer Edward Maunder), between 1645 and 1715 in the coldest part of the ‘Little Ice Age’ when, as well as the Thames frost fairs, the canals of Holland froze solid. That had to have been a sight, huh? We’re talking back in the day of Hanse Brinker…
Yet, in its paper, the Met Office claimed that the consequences now would be negligible – because the impact of the sun on climate is far less than man-made carbon dioxide. That HUGE radioactive gas giant that has powered our planet for several billion years fails in comparison to a couple centuries of increased carbon dioxide? Don’t get pulled over with whatever you guys are smoking! Although the sun’s output is likely to decrease until 2100, ‘This would only cause a reduction in global temperatures of 0.08C.’ Peter Stott, one of the authors, said: ‘Our findings suggest a reduction of solar activity to levels not seen in hundreds of years would be insufficient to offset the dominant influence of greenhouse gases.’ Living in denial must be a hard habit to break.
These findings are fiercely disputed by other solar experts.
‘World temperatures may end up a lot cooler than now for 50 years or more,’ said Henrik Svensmark, director of the Center for Sun-Climate Research at Denmark’s National Space Institute. ‘It will take a long battle to convince some climate scientists that the sun is important. It may well be that the sun is going to demonstrate this on its own, without the need for their help.’ Give it time, Al Gore will make another movie and blame something else.
He pointed out that, in claiming the effect of the solar minimum would be small, the Met Office was relying on the same computer models that are being undermined by the current pause in global-warming. If you think that’s something, you should see the economic models alot of politicians are using, when they say the economy is turning around.
CO2 levels have continued to rise without interruption and, in 2007, the Met Office claimed that global warming was about to ‘come roaring back’. It said that between 2004 and 2014 there would be an overall increase of 0.3C. In 2009, it predicted that at least three of the years 2009 to 2014 would break the previous temperature record set in 1998. I wonder if that’s why China and India told the rest of the world to take their carbon tax bullshit, and cram it?
So far there is no sign of any of this happening. But yesterday a Met Office spokesman insisted its models were still valid. It’s valid as long as people are making money selling green energy. Once they change their focus to oil or natural gas, they’ll change their tune. It’s all about money, folks, not the planet.
‘The ten-year projection remains groundbreaking science. The period for the original projection is not over yet,’ he said. Sounds like a gambling adict, doesn’t it? If they just had alittle more time.
Dr Nicola Scafetta, of Duke University in North Carolina, is the author of several papers that argue the Met Office climate models show there should have been ‘steady warming from 2000 until now’. Interesting, the data says that it stopped getting warmer years ago, and now it’s getting colder…
‘If temperatures continue to stay flat or start to cool again, the divergence between the models and recorded data will eventually become so great that the whole scientific community will question the current theories,’ he said. You mean like everyone around the planet who has no choice but to pay for this research is already doing?
He believes that as the Met Office model attaches much greater significance to CO2 than to the sun, it was bound to conclude that there would not be cooling. ‘The real issue is whether the model itself is accurate,’ Dr Scafetta said. Meanwhile, one of America’s most eminent climate experts, Professor Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology, said she found the Met Office’s confident prediction of a ‘negligible’ impact difficult to understand. In other words, they’re all smart, and we’re all stupid. If we see black when they way white, it’s because our eyes aren’t trained well enough, to be able to detect that black is gradually getting lighter, year after year. OH PLEASE!
‘The responsible thing to do would be to accept the fact that the models may have severe shortcomings when it comes to the influence of the sun,’ said Professor Curry. As for the warming pause, she said that many scientists ‘are not surprised’. The responsible thing to do would be to admit what it is that you’re doing; weakening strong nations with crippling bullshit regulations, and trying to maintain a corrupt, crony, tax-payer funded, re-election machine. This is all about creating a global control system, in order to manipulate nations and subvert their governments, and utterly the will of individual persons.
She argued it is becoming evident that factors other than CO2 play an important role in rising or falling warmth, such as the 60-year water temperature cycles in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Factors OTHER than CO2 are doing this? But I thought that CO2 was the bad guy? Isn’t that why they keep trying to pass that cap and trade crap?
Which reminds me, America; any politician who voted in FAVOR of Cap and Trade, needs to go! Vote smarter, people!
‘They have insufficiently been appreciated in terms of global climate,’ said Prof Curry. When both oceans were cold in the past, such as from 1940 to 1970, the climate cooled. The Pacific cycle ‘flipped’ back from warm to cold mode in 2008 and the Atlantic is also thought likely to flip in the next few years .
Pal Brekke, senior adviser at the Norwegian Space Centre, said some scientists found the importance of water cycles difficult to accept, because doing so means admitting that the oceans – not CO2 – caused much of the global warming between 1970 and 1997. Woopse! Looks like Al Gore might have to give back that Oscar award.
The same goes for the impact of the sun – which was highly active for much of the 20th Century. Not looking too good for that whole man-made climate change group.
‘Nature is about to carry out a very interesting experiment,’ he said. ‘Ten or 15 years from now, we will be able to determine much better whether the warming of the late 20th Century really was caused by man-made CO2, or by natural variability.’
Meanwhile, since the end of last year, world temperatures have fallen by more than half a degree, as the cold ‘La Nina’ effect has re-emerged in the South Pacific. Wow, half a degree in only ONE year.
‘We’re now well into the second decade of the pause,’ said Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. ‘If we don’t see convincing evidence of global warming by 2015, it will start to become clear whether the models are bunk. And, if they are, the implications for some scientists could be very serious.’
