Time for global warming lobby to admit they could be wrong, says meteorologist
The Daily Telegraph | December 29, 2010 | Alex Singleton

Here’s something you’ll never hear from the Met Office. Joe Bastardi, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, has laid into the the global warming lobby for making absurd claims, especially their assertion that the cold weather is caused by global warming.

First he told Fox Business Network last week that: “These folks claiming that global warming is causing severe cold – that’s like the kid on the playground who doesn’t get his way and takes his ball home”. In fact, the cold weather “is predictable if you study cycles, if you study climatology… and don’t just say everything is global warming”.

And now he’s continued the offensive on his blog this week, writing Can I Bother You For A Minute?

This is a big deal, because here we have one of the world’s biggest meteorological firms saying the global warming consensus is probably wrong. Of course, in the world of politics, no one is allowed to say this without being falsely demonised for “denying the science”. Yet the science is irrelevant to a theory that has always been little more than an excuse to expand the state. And that is why – in an increasingly cold climate – the true believers are upset.

Of course, the warmists will never admit anything of the kind since it has nothing to do with meteorology or climatology, and everything to do with leftist agenda.

There hasn’t been any warming trend since 1995 and has actually been cooling since then. That was 15 years ago.

Think about it for second. These scammers and con artists have been pushing their agenda for quite a long time (since 1979). They have even had to change the name from ‘global warming’ to ‘climate change’ in order to keep the whole charade going.

What makes him think that they are going to admit defeat when the term ‘climate change’ can be used for either a warming or cooling trend? They win either way especially as the words ‘global warming’ are forgotten.

They need to be taken to court and then jailed once convicted.

There is way too much money at stake for them to go gently into that good night and admit their theory is BS.

Joe Bastard is correct - as a science meteorologist Joe respects the climate data...that is why Joe is honest with the climate data findings that this global warming is not man made...

The leftist agenda is always to LIE in order to scare people to trust the government of zero [Obama] & idiot [Gore] who both are the biggest LIAR's this USA country has had in government administration positions (former VP idiot and MR. zer0 Pres).

But the truth is that this leftist agenda is to really follow their REAL 'father' who was the first LIAR - Satan - and work together with Satan to lead everyone to clean up Satan's world system.

This is the wrong path since Satan IS the god of this World until the REAL GOD - Jesus Christ and Almighty GOD reveals their wrath on liar's, sinners, etc, like Obama and Gore, whom are headed to hell unless they truly believe in the true GOD - Jesus Christ - who died for their sins 2,000 years ago.

However, with all the false doctrine feed into their lost souls [Obama & Gore]; I seriously doubt GOD has called them before the foundation of the World eons ago when the GODHEAD had their holy council and decided who's names to enter into the book of life and the books (the last books records the deeds of men who have no faith [Obama & Gore types]).

And those scientist who make global climate - global warming - a religious system - also risk the same wrath of GOD from the book of Revelation (Chapter 6) if they do not reject their false climate religious system and accept the true GOD and Jesus Christ WHO HOLD together the earth and CONTROL the earth's climate - proof as GOD is said to direct the actual path of every lightning bolt: that is REAL POWER!

While Bastardi happens to be correct in this instance, overall he’s an incompetent hype-monger.

http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/25984/joe-bastardi-more-active-2010-1.asp

He predicted the US would be hit by five hurricanes this year, of which 2-3 would be major hurricanes.

It’s sort of ironic that the nebulous “They” that people accuse of overhyping tropical forecasts because of global warming is actually, in terms of forecasting US landfalls, Bastardi.

I wonder how cold it has to get and how much snow has to fall before they admit defeat in some small way.

Global warming is dogma and cannot be questioned. Those who do question it are deniers (a.k.a. heretics) who should be destroyed. Kind of sounds like the Inquisition who refused to accept the ideas of Galileo and Copernicus.

Global Warming is a tax. It is not about climate, weather, meteorology, study, experience or science.

Once you understand that, every argument for it fits into the tax people category.

“... every argument for it fits into the tax people category.”

It does appear that we have another reason for another TeaParty as taxation without representation has reappeared.
This notion should go viral that ANY capNtrade legislation nonsense is a crime based on a fraud and IS a tax in any form.

There is no man-caused weather changes and ALL TPM congressmen MUST get up and shout this to the furthest reaches of FOX and CSPAN and CNN.

Is that his real name, or is it what the Global Warming Cultists call him?

Well spotted! I did not notice that. Indeed, I have often thought that global warming is merely a well-funded version of a end times religious cult.
