The climate question: Alarmists in panic

With 15 years of flat temperatures invalidating the “models” climate-clucking “scientists” cherish, blame-mankind politicians resort to shouting down opponents, bogus doomsday scenarios, With 15 years of flat temperatures invalidating the “models” climate-clucking “scientists” cherish, blame-mankind politicians resort to shouting down opponents, bogus doomsday scenarios, false claims that scientific “consensus” favors their side and calls for economically ruinous “action” — as Secretary of State John Kerry did in a speech in Indonesia.

He likened skeptics of man-made climate change to the Flat Earth Society, called global warming a weapon of mass destruction and warned against letting “a few loud interest groups” — major oil and coal companies — “hijack the climate conversation.”

Thankfully, genuine scientists see through such politically motivated deception.

S. Fred Singer, chairman of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, writes in the American Thinker that science doesn't work by consensus — most breakthroughs contradict prevailing wisdom. And he reminds that those infamous Climategate emails show “consensus” manufactured by perverting peer review to suppress climate skeptics' views.

The flat 15-year trend falsifies “the greenhouse climate models, all of which predict a strong future warming.” Yet governments base climate policy on those models, Mr. Singer writes.

What climate alarmists have left to fall back on is anything but science. Singer says they “embrace faith and ideology — and are no longer interested in facts.” And that's no fit basis for any policy, let alone the radical, redistributive, anti-growth climate leftism Mr. Kerry espouses.

If I was picking people to play in the Atlas Shrugged movie, John Kerry would be my choice for James Taggert................

A very simple question for those supporting AGW:

How much will it cost the average American if they were to implement a carbon tax and other proposals? It certainly won’t be free and it may drive up the cost of living a lot.

Someone should compute the costs and publish this information.

Then, we have to ask ourselves, is it worth it for my heating bill to double, gasoline to increase by $3 a gallon, to implement taxes and laws that are based on a questionable theory. Shouldn’t we be a lot more certain?

Good one. This was the guy I had slotted to play the part of James Taggart:

But Kerry would do just fine...

Why Secretary of State John Kerry Is Flat Wrong on Climate Change

Is climate change causing extreme weather? Environmental scientist Roger Pielke Jr. thinks not. Little evidence exists in the IPCC report linking climate change to extreme weather events...

The tell tale indicator of liberals losing control of an issue is the ratcheting up of their protestations that morph into attacks of their opponents.

This example from the US Department of Commerce that suggests killing people who don't agree with the scam is one of those a fore mentioned indicators:

Climatological Lysenkoism ..... foisted on the public by the same ideologues that promoted the original Lysenko.

[bicyclerepair]

Doesn’t matter what facts are.

In this Idiocracy, that which is repeated often enough is truth.

[lentulusgracchus]

Well, that's obviously the way they're trying to play it ..... right out of the Goebbels handbook.
