Hillary, Jed Bush, Al Gore And Pope Francis’s Global-Warming is a Hoax and JunkScience

Anyone looking to get some  delicious  Chilean fruit this winter is going to be disappointed, as the worst frost in more than 80 years has damaged 50 million boxes of fruit exports — causing the country to declare a state of emergency in its agricultural sector. The Chilean Fresh Fruit Exporters Association  said  that freezing temperatures throughout mid-September hit the country’s fruit growers with the coldest frost since 1929. Temperatures fell to an average of 19 degrees Fahrenheit for an average of seven hours in several of the Chile’s growing regions, contributing to a huge drop-off in fruit exports. Chilean growers exported about 282 million boxes of fruit last year, and experts believe that exports will fall short of that by about 50 million boxes for this year. However, when production increases are taken into  account , the total frost damage to fruit production could be closer to 60 million or 65 million boxes. The wine industry was hit hard ...

There’s an old saying that when presenting a legal case, if the facts are on your side, “pound the facts,” but if the facts are against you, “pound the table.” The  report  of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released on September 27th is an obvious example of pounding the table. The facts, which the IPCC’s report admits to, albeit with obvious reluctance and a good deal of obfuscation, show that humanity’s impact on global climate is too small to justify concern and is certainly no reason for the costly programs governments  are imposing. Yet the IPCC persists in asserting the opposite. They state that they are more convinced than ever that global warming is caused mainly by our  greenhouse gas emissions and that the world face catastrophe if we don’t radically change our ways. Even though the IPCC’s past forecasts have been spectacularly wrong, the UN panel claims even higher confidence today—95%—that they’ve finally got it rig...

It is well-established science that the cooling of the earth has been in the past and would be in the future more disruptive to human existence than atmospheric warming. If we are quite quiet, we may yet hear the sound of extreme irony laughing its head off at our efforts to lower carbon dioxide emissions and, thus, initiating or strengthening cooler weather conditions that would bring massive hunger and movements of populations, precisely the opposite  condition  wished for by the anthropogenic global warming crowd. However, no one may be able to spend their waking hours smirking if it turns out that inevitable global cooling could have been ameliorated by burning the  fuel  that we are using today that would have helped us to warm the planet and our sorrowful bodies tomorrow. We are so not prescient: TAU Study Links Empire Collapse, Climate Change A study of fossil pollen particles in sediments extracted from the bottom of the Sea of Galilee has revealed evid...

Green dreamers in Spain once touted solar power as a cheap answer to their energy needs.  Then economic reality intervened: Spain's economy went from boom to bust -- and "green incentives" became too costly for the government (er, taxpayers).  As a consequence, Spain's cash-strapped government has drastically scaled back its generous "green" subsidies since the 2008 real-estate meltdown. Now, green dreamers are getting more bad  news : Spain's Parliament is expected, on January 1, to approve a levy on renewable-energy production intended for personal use, according to a  Wall Street Journal  article, " Spaniards Gird for Fee on Solar Power ."  It's bad news for "a small but growing segment of the middle class: people who have joined a Europe-wide move toward self-sufficiency by installing solar panels in their homes and businesses," the article pointed out.  Citing the case of Diego Nicolás, a 55-year-old  auto mechani...

Saving the planet from short-termism will take man-on-the-moon commitment  Sound like Doctor Who: Victory of the Daleks - series 31, episode three  " Danny Boy " was the call sign of a spitfire pilot who fought...  ...  of the Daleks made him the first person to write and appear in the  The Guardian comments: Instead of preaching to the choir the plan is to show how to achieve key economic objectives – growth, investment, secure public finances, fairer distribution of income – while at the same time protecting the planet. The pitch to finance ministers will be that tackling climate change will require plenty of upfront investment that will boost growth rather than harm it. Will this approach work? Well, maybe. But it will require business to see the long-term benefits of greening the economy as well as the short-term costs, because that would lead to the burst of technological innovation needed to accelerate progress. And it will require the same sort ...

James McCarthy, a senior IPCC official between 1997 and 2001, made a statement about Arctic ice melt in 2000 so erroneous that the  New York Times  needed to write a major retraction about its mention of it. Later in 2004, McCarthy was part of an ‘expert’ press briefing about “Global warming likely to continue spurring more outbreaks of intense hurricane activity”.  In Donna Laframboise’s 2011 blog , she tells how that press briefing is tied straight to the infamous  resignation of Chris Landsea from the IPCC . As many know, the predictions for hurricanes  haven’t worked out so well lately . More recently, we are told McCarthy was involved in the origins of the idea that skeptic climate scientists are ‘paid shills working for the fossil fuel industry’. To recap the old  NY Times  incident: In an August 19, 2000 article with the title “ Ages-Old Polar Icecap Is Melting, Scientists Find “, the paper said the following: …for the time being, an ice-f...

Note: i add  {Governor Jerry Brown} With the stroke of his royal pen, President Barack Obama declared that federal law in the form of a 17-year congressional funding ban on gun-control “research” at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was trumped by his personal decree through an executive order restoring the CDC’s junk-science agenda. Were I to choose a single word to define this action, it would be “outlaw.” The law forbidding expenditures by CDC to promote gun control still stands. It cannot be erased by an executive order. But this is President Obama, his rule and his rules. As with so many other Obama executive actions disregarding federal law or ignoring Congress or the courts, this one has born poisonous fruit in the form of a voluminous manifesto. In this case, it’s entitled,  Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearms-Related Violence . Produced by the National Academy of Sciences (for the CDC), the research agenda was “supported by awar...

The water you drink today has likely been around in one form or another since dinosaurs roamed and Earth, hundreds of millions of years ago.”  – National Geographic Water is life and it is recyclable, covering 70 percent of our planet; 2.5 percent is fresh water and “only 1 percent is easily accessible, the rest is trapped in glaciers and snowfields.” National Geographic  tries to make the case  that freshwater is in a crisis since its levels have remained the same over millennia but the human population has exploded to seven billion. No mention is made of animals that also need drinking water. Environmentalists have been telling us for quite some time that man-made global warming would result in the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, causing 25 feet rise in the ocean levels, destroying all the islands and coastal areas around the globe. But the moneyed liberals who spell this gloom and doom scenario have built elaborate mansions in coastal areas around ...
