AGW panic ending with a whimper ( Global Warming Hoax ends with a whimper?)

This is how the AGW panic ends: not with a bang, but with a whimper.

The Economist, which (despite a recent decline) remains probably the best news magazine in the English language, now admits that (a) global average temperature has been flat for 15 years even as CO2 levels have been rising rapidly, (b) surface temperatures are at the lowest edge of the range predicted by IPCC climate models, (c) on current trends, they will soon fall clean outside and below the model predictions, (c) estimates of climate sensitivity need revising downwards, and (d) something, probably multiple things, is badly wrong with AGW climate models.

Do I get to say “I told you so!” yet?

The wheels are falling off the bandwagon. The Economist has so much prestige in the journalistic establishment that it’s going to become difficult now for the mainstream media to continue averting their eyes from the evidence. Honest AGW advocates have been the victims of a massive error cascade enlisted in aid of a vast and vicious series of political and financial scams; it’s time for them to wake up and realize they’ve been had, taken, swindled, conned, and used.

I can’t but think the record cold weather in England has got something to do with this. Only a few years ago AGW panicmongers were screaming that British children would never see another snowfall – now they’re struggling with nastier winter weather than has been seen in a century. Perhaps the big chill woke somebody at The Economist up?

And if you think I’m gloating now, wait until GAT actually falls far enough below the low end of IPCC projections that the Economist has to admit that. I plan to be unseemly and insufferable about it, oh yes I do.

Well, time to admit that it’s really global cooling that will kill us. Cooling caused by rich, capitalist, industrialist, white, men, who must be taxed to death to save the planet.

You got it half right.....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades. The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age.

December 1776....at the tail end of the mini ice age:

There was no central heating to keep Britons warm between the 1500s and mid-1800s, a period known as ‘The Little Ice Age’.

This name was coined to tie together all the different global cooling events which took place, which produced the very coldest series of British winters for millenni

Check out the thickness of the ice on the Thames river London.

“James Lovelock, the maverick scientist who became a guru to the environmental movement with his “Gaia” theory of the Earth as a single organism, has admitted to being “alarmist” about climate change and says other environmental commentators, such as Al Gore, were too.”

When you’ve lost Lovelock, you’ve lost the war.

I’ve always considered Global Warming and Astrology as having about the same scientific basis and approximately the same degree of accuracy .... however, the Astrology field is probably a little less of a scam.

[Grimmy]

It should end with a massive investigation into this organized conspiracy to defraud that the AGW crap was from the very beginning.

Someone was pretty clever when they confused the public perception of "global warming" with "climate change."

Recently that was people like this http://marine.rutgers.edu/~francis/pubs_10-05.html Writing popular press articles like this: http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/09/28/idINIndia-59591620110928: "Slowing jet stream shows risk from warming Arctic - Gerard Wynn" which starts with "(Gerard Wynn is a Reuters columnist. The views expressed are his own)" IOW, a useful idiot in the press.

The article reads "A new, unpublished finding that the polar "jet stream" is slowing down provides compelling evidence of a link between rapidly melting Arctic sea ice and colder winters across the northern hemisphere and other extreme weather"

It is 100% bullshit. I need not go into why a sea ice boundary change makes no difference to the weather, people here know that weather is weather. But I might need to remind the folks that the models predicted the opposite although around 2005 there were some speculative and poorly supported results in the other direction. Essentially models and simple science say that Arctic warming and stratospheric cooling, two of the pillars of CO2 warming theory, will lead to a stronger polar jet with less wavering.

All liberal scare histrionics end with a whimper... bye bye population bomb, club of rome, peak oil, global cooling, and a hundred others... now ... bye bye global warming. Can't wait to see the new dem lie...
