"Climate change/Global Warming" is nothing but a grifters scheme, the largest con game in the history of humanity. It has NOTHING to do with climate and EVERYTHING to do with state sanctioned theft of TRILLIONS of dollars. Money stolen from productive society and given to turd world hell holes......with criminals like Al The shithead Gore stealing VAST QUANTITIES of that money for personal enrichment. It's noifferendt than the Billions of dollars of "foreign aid" the US funnels to turd world hell holes.....where virtually ALL the money ends up in the pockets of the handful of criminals in charge.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-82913150455365278112017-09-08T08:26:46.263-04:002017-09-08T08:26:46.263-04:00Dr. Spencer has a good graphic up on his page, bac...Dr. Spencer has a good graphic up on his page, back from his book launch a few weeks ago <a href="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2017/08/an-inconvenient-deception-how-al-gore-distorts-climate-science-and-energy-policy/" rel="nofollow">showing it graphically</a> <br /><br />In the gross, overall sense, sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age, as they do after the end of every ice age. If sea levels were <b>not</b> rising, that could well be a Very Bad Thing - or the sign of one coming. <br /><br /><i>I suspect we know approximately zip about how climate works.</i> IMO, that's the worst part of this whole "big science/government complex" thing. There really are good climate scientists trying to understand the climate, but they're getting shouted down and wiped out by the ones pushing the agenda. We just don't hear them. Someone like Dr. Judith Curry, who is a "warmist" but doesn't like most of what's passing for current science is a good example. Hounded out of her university job for not just accepting orthodoxy. <br /><br />I heard an interesting rumor, though, about the predictions for hurricanes getting bigger, stronger, more frequent, etc. Dr. Chris Landsea of the NHC told the IPCC that he was going sue them all if they associated his name with that bullshit and the IPCC backed down. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-34162524905877467242017-09-08T04:55:35.418-04:002017-09-08T04:55:35.418-04:00https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/05/02/dialing-bac...https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/05/02/dialing-back-the-the-10-foot-hype-noaa-tide-gauge-data-shows-no-coastal-sea-level-rise-acceleration/<br /><br />11 inches rise per 100 years according to measurements by NOAA.

Not being strangers to math, a "50% increase in the rate" means bupkus if the rate of increase was 1/4 per year. Or even one inch per year. So now the rate would be - "gasp" - 1.5 inches of increase in the last twenty years (I'm guessing their propagandist believes "two decades" wouldn't seem like such a long time to a casual reader, as opposed to twenty years). <br /><br />I haven't paid attention to what the true - non-IPCC faked - number for the rate of increase is, but I'm sure it wouldn't be sensational, or they would state that number instead of "50% increase". If Roseanne Barr or Nancy Pelosi were making these statements, I'd be slightly more inclined to believe it (NOT) than these economists who probably are simply working on their own get-rich scheme different from the lies of Gore's carbon credits scheme.<br /><br />When a real expert like Sean Penn tells me to be worried, then I'll start shaking in my boots.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-9245135362539664292017-09-06T20:39:09.660-04:002017-09-06T20:39:09.660-04:00You can have a centuries long drought that turns t...You can have a centuries long drought that turns the planet into Dune (complete with massive sand worms) and have a water world all at the same time if you're progressive enough.<br /><br />And no, they'll never shut up.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
