A good article written by Andrew Bolt, one of the few vocal Australian conservatives. Mr Bolt makes way too much sense most days and is usually labelled by the MSM as being too extreme! Isn't that always the case? The Left's version of debate is censorship when you don't agree with their message and so far Mr Bolt has managed to debunk each and every lie that our warmists have fed us over the years. Once again he has pointed out the scam that is global warming climate change. And just how will history of this scam be written? Why, if the Left have anything to do with it they'll still be peddling their lies whilst we shiver through the next ice age.
IT’S a bright new year, so let’s see how the great global warming scare is panning out, shall we?
First, the planet hasn’t actually warmed for a decade—or even 15 years, according to new temperature data from Britain’s Met Office.
Hmm. That’s not what global warming scientists predicted.
Or look out of your window.
The rain that Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery said in 2007 “isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems” any more has just flooded New South Wales and Queensland again.
The Bureau of Meteorology,which three years ago warned “we are just not going to have that sort of good rain again”, now admits last year was our third-wettest on record.
The snowfalls that the University of East Anglia in 2000 said would soon become “a very rare and exciting event” are falling as hard as ever.
The monster hurricanes we were told to expect by Nobel Prize winner Al Gore are coming no more often.
The massive coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, that warmist Prof Ove Hoegh-Guldberg predicted would occur every second year from 2010, hasn’t hit in years.
Wherever you look it’s the same wake-up-to-yourself story.
Sea levels have recently dipped, the oceans have lately cooled, Arctic ice has not retreated since 2007, polar bear numbers are increasing, global crop yields keep rising and now some solar scientists warn not of warming, but cooling.
So how do the warming activists respond to increasing evidence contradicting their theory that our carbon dioxide emissions are heating the world dangerously?
Simple. They close their eyes.
Take Prof Naomi Oreskes, the author of Merchants of Doubt who famously tried to prove that not one scientific paper dissented from the global warming “consensus”.
Last week she complained people still “cling to the idea that it is reasonable to maintain an open mind”, and insisted: “It isn’t.”
To have an academic demand a closed mind on global warming is a shock. It shows she’s talking not about science but a faith.
Yet her view is depressingly echoed by much of the media, which for years has whipped up the warming scare, refusing to report on scientists who queried it, and demonising the open-minded as “deniers”.
They, too, believe a closed mind—and closed ears—is how to deal with inconvenient truths I’ve listed.
Example?
I once mentioned on the ABC TV’s Insiders that the warming had paused, only to be heckled by one panellist while the other, The Sydney Morning Herald’s David Marr, theatrically buried his head in a newspaper.
Not listening, la la la la la.
What has made the deliberate know-nothingness of such journalists so damaging is that in no other country has the media spruiked the warming creed so hysterically.
Warmist researchers from the Centre for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado in Boulder have counted how often 50 papers around the world mentioned “global warming” or “climate change” and found that in every year from 2006 to 2011 our own beat the rest.
But see how some of the most obsessed outlets—especially The Age and ABC—resist reporting evidence that the late 20th century warming blamed on man’s gases has halted, and few of the catastrophic consequences predicted have happened.
Man’s gases do affect the climate is some small way, but not necessarily for the worst and certainly not by as much as natural influences—some of which may have us heading for cooling.
Henrik Svensmark, director of the Centre for Sun-Climate Research at Denmark’s National Space Institute, investigates the effects of the sun and cosmic rays on our climate, and last week said a recent cut in the sun’s output could soon reverse any man-made warming: “World temperatures may end up a lot cooler than now for 50 years or more.”
Who knows if he’s right? Best keep an open mind on this and on man-made warming.
Or, as Harvard University physicist Mike Stopa warned last week: “It is possible that CO2 has effectively no influence on global climate.”
And he asked: “Suppose it turns out that CO2 has essentially nothing to do with the Earth’s climate.
“How will the history of this colossal mistake be written?”
