Arctic Ice Cap Expands by 41 Percent in Two Years; Al Gore Thought It Might Be Gone by Now?

Image
 ice baby. That's what they have a lot more of in the Arctic. The UK Daily Mail, one of those British tabloids the left has despised going back to the Clinton administration and its paranoia about  a right-wing media conspiracy ,  reports from authoritative sources  — the kind the U.S. establishment press uses when it seems to support the hoax known as human-caused global warming — that the Arctic ice cap has expanded rapidly in the past two years. In doing so, it has made up all of what was lost between 2009 and 2012 with a slight margin to spare. Seven years ago, former Vice President and leading global warming false alarmist Al Gore predicted that "It could be completely gone." Excerpts follow the jump (bolds are mine): Myth of arctic meltdown: Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now - Seven years after

Global Warming Fanatics, Try To Connect Ferguson And ‘Global Warming.

Image
Frequently criticized for being insufficiently diverse, environmentalists are trying to draw parallels between the crisis erupting in Ferguson, Missouri and global warming. “It was not hard for me to make the connection between the tragedy in Ferguson, Missouri, and the catalyst for my work to stop the climate crisis,”  writes Deirdre Smith, strategic partnership coordinator for the environmental group 350.org . Smith ties the “institutional neglect of vulnerable communities in crisis” into the environmental movement’s war against fossil fuels, which she claims hit minority communities the hardest. “To me, the connection between militarized state violence, racism, and climate change was common-sense and intuitive,” she said. “If extreme weather is about droughts, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, the way people get treated in the wake of disaster is about power.” Smith’s article comes in the wake of a recent report that found the environmental movement is dominated by

King Obama! Bypassing Senate's Constitutional Ratification Power on Climate Change Treaty?

Image
Sort of,  but some details remain murky.  Via  Jim Geragthy , the  New York Times reports today that the Obama administration is seeking to commit  the  United States to an anti-climate change international treaty without even attempting to seek formal approval from the Senate.  According to the  explicit verbiage  of the Constitution, two-thirds of the upper chamber must assent to such an agreement in order for it to take on the binding effect of law. Given that Harry Reid  couldn't lasso  the votes to advance cap-and-trade when his caucus enjoyed a huge majority in 2009 and 2010, accumulating 67 votes in the current Senate environment for an initiative like this is unlikely in the extreme.  From the  Times'   story : The Obama administration is working to forge a sweeping international climate change agreement to compel nations to cut their planet-warming fossil fuel emissions, but without ratification from Congress. In preparation for this agreement, to be sig

Global Warming; 31,487 Scientists say NO to Alarm

Watch Now: Morano on TV (humbly) promotes new climate film: ‘We are going to have the greatest climate documentary of al-l-l-l-l ti-i-i-ime!’A new film, 'Climate Hustle' hopes to show what's really behind the multi-billion dollar catastrophic anthropogenic global warming scam.

We have a spoof, a send off of the  Al Gore CO2 climate elevator scene from Inconvenient Truth  -- we spoof the exact scene.

We have to make this entertaining and appeal to the average viewer who does not follow climate change on a regular basis. ‘We confront UN IPCC lead author Michael Op

Germany, back-up power, disruptive renewables, electricity markets, energiewende

Image
Germany has a program to increase its electricity production from renewable sources to 80 percent by 2050. The country produced a record 27 percent of its electricity from renewable energy during the first quarter of 2014 due to increased renewable capacity and favorable weather. While the country’s electricity generation from renewable energy is on the upswing, however, there are ramifications to this program that include instability of the electric grid, the need to secure back-up power that is reliable, and the burden on its households to pay for the high cost of electricity. German utility companies are receiving payments from the grid to help stabilize the electricity network that has been destabilized by drops and surges from wind and solar power. Coal is being used more heavily to back-up the intermittent renewable technologies and to provide reliable base load power that is increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Households are paying heavily for subsidies such as feed-in-tariffs

Cooling Turn To Warming Australian Met Office Accused Of Manipulating Temperature Records

The [Australian] Bureau of Meteorology has been accused of manipulating historic temperature records to fit a predetermined view of global warming. Researcher Jennifer Marohasy claims the adjusted records resemble “propaganda” rather than science. Dr Marohasy has analysed the raw data from dozens of locations across Australia and matched it against the new data used by BOM showing that temperatures were progressively warming. In many cases, Dr Marohasy said, temperature trends had changed from slight cooling to dramatic warming over 100 years.—Graham Lloyd, The Australian, 23 August 2014 The escalating row goes to heart of the climate change debate — in particular, whether computer models are better than real data and whether temperature records are being manipulated in a bid to make each year hotter than the last. Marohasy’s research has put her in dispute with BoM over a paper she published with John Abbot at Central Queensland University in the journal Atmospheric Research concernin

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) Has Deen Discovered To Be One Of The Best “Get Rich Quick Enviro Imperialism and Greenie Ppportunism

This just in: Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) has been discovered to be one of the best “get rich quick” schemes in the history of mankind. Research scientists, heads of state, bureaucrats, engineers, major media figures and anyone even remotely related to Al Gore, seem to be taking advantage of this massive windfall. Sadly, for the enablers, the deniers and regular people who still have to work for a living, that windfall seems to stem directly from their pockets. Steyer, Soros, Gates, Buffett, Algore, all the companies that shout about the sustainability projects they promote–they all reek of corrupt manipulation and scams. A  new report  from Ceres, a well-heeled group of Wall Street activists who work with groups such as the AFL-CIO, Environmental Defense Fund, the National Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club[1], ranked electric utilities by how well the utilities adopted policies reflecting those of Ceres on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
