The inescapable apocalypse has been seriously underestimated
Spectator Blogs (U.K.) ^ | March 12, 2009 | Melanie Phillips

Posted on 03/14/2009 11:27:57 PM PDT by Schnucki

The atmosphere is cooling, the ice is expanding, the seas are not rising -- even though carbon emissions are increasing. The evidence is now crystal clear to anyone with an unwashed brain that man-made global warming theory is sheer unadulterated bunkum. So how do the warmers react to the ever more embarrassing evidence that they have hitched their reputations to the biggest anti-scientific scam in history? By ratcheting up the hysteria to fever pitch and shrieking that their predictions about the impending irreversible environmental apocalypse have grievously underestimated the catastrophe which is going to be far, far worse.

At the international climate change conference in Copenhagen this week, we were told that the seas would rise by as much as a metre by 2100, that they would turn into acid, and that even the rainforests would be felled not by the loggers’ chainsaws but by the greatest pollutant in the history of the universe, carbon dioxide.

Read these reports carefully and you can see the scam at work. All of these hysterical predictions revolve around a massive ‘if’. They are all based on the assumption that rising carbon dioxide levels produce runaway global warming and inevitable ecological catastrophe. Ignoring the self-evident fact that this theory has already been proved false – as CO2 levels have risen, the climate has stayed pretty flat and in recent years has even cooled -- they then apply this bogus premise to topics not previously covered – the acidity of seas, rainforests – and hey presto, a fresh range of even greater catastrophes is conjured up from their crystal balls computer models.

The Independent reported:

Sea levels are predicted to rise twice as fast as was forecast by the United Nations only two years ago, threatening hundreds of millions

Remember when the liberal talking point was, “global warming” heating up the earth’s seas, would result in a catastrophic increase in hurricanes?...

Drudge’s headline (current)
“Global hurricane activity reaches new lows”.

Even in the face of incontrovertible evidence, the libs simply cannot admit the fallacy of "global warming." To do that, they would have to admit that the guy they handed the Oscar and Nobel to, the one that was "cheated" out of his "victory" in 2000, was not just mistaken, but may well have gotten rich by conning them.

That's something they just couldn't deal with.

The best was that carbon dioxide-monitoring satellite crashing during ascent into orbit.

Al Gore is currently negotiating with Billy Mays and the Shamwow guy to act as spokesmen for the Global Warming / Climate Change movement.

This is a very scary trend among not just liberals today.

There are no "facts" anymore.

As a race, we are ripe for tyranny.

However, from her March 6 article:

Sizer’s participation, however, must be seen in the context of a disturbing realignment in the services of the forces of darkness against the free world: the emergence of an axis between a body of evangelicals, the hard left, the Islamists — and the far right.

So your mileage may vary. (Although she *is* speaking of Mediocre Britain, not the US.)

Cheers!

From this week's article:

Prof Mörner was an expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This is what he said about the process which led the IPCC to make its predictions of alarming (if subsequently reduced) sea level rise:

Then, in 2003, the same data set, which in their [IPCC’s] publications, in their website, was a straight line—suddenly it changed, and showed a very strong line of uplift, 2.3 mm per year, the same as from the tide gauge. And that didn’t look so nice. It looked as though they had recorded something; but they hadn’t recorded anything. It was the original one which they had suddenly twisted up, because they entered a ‘correction factor,’ which they took from the tide gauge. So it was not a measured thing, but a figure introduced from outside. I accused them of this at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow— I said you have introduced factors from outside; it’s not a measurement. It looks like it is measured from the satellite, but you don’t say what really happened. And they answered, that we had to do it, because otherwise we would not have gotten any trend!

Game, set, and match.

Consider yourself *highly* commended, sir.

Cheers!

For this heresy, Prof Mörner is undoubtedly to be damned along with the rest of us for being a global warming ‘denier’ (or even more dementedly, a ‘climate change creationist’ -- yes, I know, I know, but when did elementary logic ever make an appearance in such circles?).

Bravo! Excellent read here. Hopefully it will change a few minds. . . Hey, I can dream.
