Global Warming Officially Dead

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
This is a "reevaluation" of previous data that "proved" global warming a number of years back. Now we're looking at sunspot minimums unseen in decades, perhaps dozens of decades.

Of course, that doesn't explain the ongoing mild winter. Four or five straight days of 40+ degrees this week? CompStat is shitting bricks.

But what will all the liberal idiots sell each other now that carbon credits are worthless?

It's not global warming people. It's called "change" as in a changing planet. This ball of rock and water we call home is an ever changing, dynamic sphere that is constantly moving through space as well as land masses shifting-plate tectonics. It's bound to cause global changes.

History illustrates epic climate change over time. Ice Ages, droughts, tropical rain forests, masive earth quakes, tsunamis, volcanos that blacked the skies for years, multitude of 'changes' throughout Earth's existance.

Whatever the cause, it's the outcome we should be concerned with. Mass exstinctions usually followed these climate disruptions. Maybe it's time to start over...

Maybe all the left wing nut jobs will listen now..... Global warming is bullshit and excessively exaggerated....the dip shits should've been listening when the researchers, hired by the federal government, came out and made public how they falsified documents a couple of years ago.

It's not global warming anymore, it's "Climate Change". The nitwits were hollering about a new ice age when I was in school for the first Earth Day. As I grew older, Global Warming was going to end the world. Now that they can't prove either, it's Climate Change.

I wish these people would find a new God to worship other than the environment.

Whether you're pro or con on global warming or for that matter ANY study that is published in the main stream media we should all ask ourselves who is funding the study, what do they have to gain and why as it usually has an effect of the outcome of the data.

Think.

Why are they telling us this?

The "Mini" ice age theory holds some water. Years back I attended a training where an old mariner was explaining how a compass works. For years, "True" north was always a few degrees off center. There has been a shift of this over the last few years (at least since 03). This may explain all the crazy weather we have been experiencing over the last few years. This opens the doors for the media and politicians to create hysteria and keep fear alive. This may be a natural shift that comes full cycle according to the Myan calendar that is set to expire Dec 12 2012. The calendar may expire and just rest the pattern stumbled accross them many yaers ago. Either way, we need to survive G8 first. Then we can explore the theories.

Check out www.polereversal.com. Surf the net and find scientific theores to back up actual events, while the rest of the population freaks out and waits for the world to implode! It may be a. Natural occurance, keep emergency supplies ready, but only until the roiting stops. There is no media audience for Nature, there is a channel for that if people want. Death and destruction creates news, waiting for the sky to open up and eat us. .. Well, if that happens, F--k it. Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye!

meanwhile, in Fairbanks, Alaska, it's -50 again.

don't you get it? selective reading of data serves no one. Climate-gate was a real scandal involving massive falsification of data and outright lies, undermining the entire scientific process.

This is OBVIOUSLY a topic that sticks in your craw, SCC.

Other than the fact that this, (global warming), is definitely a topic that the liberals believe in and the conservatives don't, I've always found it curious that the author of a Police blog would be so passionate about something so NOT police related. Not that I care or am being critical about it. It just seems like a waste of energy. I mean, once the liberals decide to champion a cause, facts are irrelevant!

Ironic, isn't it, that Al Gore, the man who greatly advanced the concept of 'global warming' through his book, "An Inconvenient Truth", AND won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for it, is ALSO the man who invented the internet that we are using here to attack him and his whole idea of global warming?

Took the words right out of my mouth, SCC! Selective reading of data describes this study to a T! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! And by the way, asshat. I grew up in a state where the temp has been 80 degrees warmer than the usual winter readings. Chicagoans are a bunch of winter PUSSIES! Go cool your ass off on a glacier in your beloved Alaska. The trick will be FINDING one! They've shrunk down to almost NOTHING! The REAL problem is the politics involved with this issue. If you think global warming is real you are automatically a bleeding heart liberal who loves Gore. Fucking stupid.

In the future,listen to anthing that he and others like him have to say and then do ecactly the opposite and everything will be fine.

Geology proves that the earth cools and heats in cycles over time.

Greenland was once called Greenland for a reason. There isn't much ice in Iceland these days either.

When I was in high school (the early and mid 70s) Time Magazine ran a cover story about the upcoming Ice Age.

1934 was and still is the hottest year on record.

Oh... Here it is: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2093264/Forget-global-warming--Cycle-25-need-worry-NASA-scientists-right-Thames-freezing-again.html

The Daily Mail- a UK tabloid. Also the article quotes the actual paper, which notes that this effect will be minimal compared to the ongoing effect of greenhouse gasses.

I am open to data showing current climate change theory to be wrong, or at least less dramatic, but this doesn't appear to justify the "Global Warming is Officially Dead" hyperbole.

The blue text that lights up when you hover over it is the link. In this case, it's the first word of the post labeled "Finally." It's the same way we've been doing it for almost seven years now.

And Climate-gate was just a misunderstanding about actually falsifying data.

The Daily Mail is a tabloid.

Also one of the authors has stated: ‘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.’

I'll remain skeptical on both sides of the issue...

Except for the millions of dollars in "carbon credits" some scam artists have conjured up, I don't think you'd hear much about it.

The polar ice caps have been receding for how many years? Long before we were inventing stuff like cars.

Hell I do recall some years ago they were screaming that wihtin a few years we were all going to freeze to death, starve, just a matter of a dozen years.... even had politicians carrying the banner screaming for ssomething to be done.

Now we have the great global warming.... no shit Sherlock, the ice is receding, (other wise we'd be patroling in snow machines)....

GLOBAL WARMING is a HOAX to deindustrialize the world and suck all the money out of people by applying "carbon taxes". Do some research and find out for yourself. They already sold most of the people on this shit but there are some - like me, who never believed it.
