Global Warming is Crap XVIII

First, something that proves nothing, but is just funny.

Green groups rally in the cold

Made all the more laughable by the next bit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from Newsmax, which you may not like. No matter, it references real people and articles.
I added links to other articles or info on the scientists mentioned.

Arctic Ice Hasn’t Disappeared as Predicted
A leading climate scientist predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free in five years — five years ago.
An article in The Guardian published in August 2008 reported the Professor Wieslaw Maslowski of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey Calif., and his team produced a forecast “which indicated that by 2013 there will be no ice in the Arctic, other than a few outcrops on islands near Greenland and Canada, between mid-July and mid-September.”
Maslowski said: “The crucial point is that ice is clearly not building up enough over winter to restore cover and that when you combine current estimates of ice thickness with the extent of the ice cap, you get a very clear indication that the Arctic is going to be ice-free in summer in five years.”
The article also quoted Professor Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University in Britain: “Now the most detailed computer models suggest the Arctic’s summer ice is going to last for only a few more years.”
Arctic ice did not disappear last summer, however. And the National Snow and Ice Data Center has reported that the “average sea ice extent for January 2013 was 5.32 million square miles.”
President Obama showed that he has bought into the global warming hysteria when he declared in his State of the Union address on Tuesday: “For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change.”
Respected climate scientist Richard Lindzen, who is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in remarks quoted by the Climate Depot website: “Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.”
Calculations & predictions of doom a wee bit off there eh?

It never ends though. The warmies will not be happy until we all live in caves. And no fire! That pollutes you know.

Global Warming is Crap XVII

I'm doing something I should have long ago, clearly separating sections that go with each link.

Right off, this is one of the most damning bits of evidence that the warmies have been lying and playing with numbers.

Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago

So it looks like the warmies may have been right back then. Maybe. But they never updated their info.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This has been gone over before, but it bears repeating. Warmies like to say "follow the money." Well, yes, by all means, let's follow the money.

Al Gore Has Thrived

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, even though I don't think global warming (or climate change, if you're into repackaging) is caused primarily by man. I don't believe it is as bad or dangerous as made out to be.
Nonetheless, I do think we should make every reasonable effort to lower pollution. I do feel that it is better to strive for cleaner technologies. But that must be balanced with costs, and the UN has never been one to consider costs when trying to mandate.

UN Frustrated With US

--------------------------------------------------------------

Note that this fellow claimed that "there has been no global warming for 16 years." That did not go over well. Of course, you have only to read the article in the first link of this post to see that he spoke truth.

Lord Monckton Evicted From UN Climate Summit

Warmies do not care about truth. They only want to hear the voices that agree with them.
Disagreement will not be tolerated.

---------------------------------------------

Until next time, stay warm!
