Beware the Branch-Carbonian Church Of the Impending Thermageddon.
Good and accurate article. The “money” quote to me:
“According to their dogma, it’s blasphemous to oppose giving unaccountable bureaucrats (in the EPA or internationally) unprecedented power to centrally plan and control economic life without even a vote of Congress.”
Peer review be damned.
I’m glad to read this. I was thinking that just being labeled a Christian doesn’t mean much. Think of Tariq Aziz in Iraq and Rev. Wright here in America.
Given that the human population of the earth is increasing, except maybe for in “the blind leading the blind” USA and other countries where corrupt government leaders promote abortion and homosexuality, shouldn’t ocean levels actually not be rising as fast as global warming alarmists are claiming, or possiblly even dropping for the following reason?
Given that the human body is at least 50% water by weight, more and more water from the oceans is moving from the oceans to land as the population increases.
No smoking hot spot1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
A local community college I know of secured two separate federal grants. One is for a Siemens NX 8.5 CAD training but the catch is that in order to receive the certificate for completing the CAD course, students must then attend and successfully complete a course (4 full days, M-TH) on “Biomass Technologies”. The classes are free for eligible MI residents who are and have been unemployed for a certain percentage of the past 1 1/2 years and have at least some working CAD experience.
I wonder how many hearts and minds the Biomass Technologies course is supposed to change if there are any Climate Change deniers among them. If I was one of them I’d much rather skip the Biomass Technologies class and devote my valuable time to look for full time work in my chosen profession, especially if my unemployment benefits had already been exhausted.
