That’ll Work

A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

“I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet,” Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.

Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper.

Such alien technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said, pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico—which has become a shrine for UFO believers—as an example of alien contact.

“We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough,” he said.

Yep

“Environmentalism has largely superseded Christianity as the religion of the upper classes in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United States,” Mr Evans says in the publication.

“It is a form of religious belief which fosters a sense of moral superiority in the believer, but which places no importance on telling the truth,” he says.

“The global warming scam has been, arguably, the most extraordinary example of scientific fraud in the postwar period.”

The Age

I still think we should pursue other forms of energy besides fossil fuels. Pollution aside, fossil fuels fund terrorism and wars.

UPDATE: And this is why the UN is making such a big deal out of GW.

Carbon Clown of the Day

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

Drudge Report

None of this is a surprise to me. The GW movement is run by some of biggest hypocrites on earth. They know it’s a scam. Which is why they don’t practice what they preach. But they want all the rest of us to cut our energy use.  In 10 years we may have power rationing because of these zealots. Like they made smoking all but illegal and are trying to demonize food companies now. Energy will be the next bete noir of the scolds. We really need to fight back against this nonsense.

UPDATE: Now the MSM is pouncing on Gore.

“And the facts are this. Four and a half years ago Al Gore bought a large home and made it larger, but did very little to reduce his own energy consumption. Instead, he spent the same time telling you how to reduce yours.”

Indeed.

Must Read Global Warming Piece of the Day

Here’s another climatologist setting the record straight on Al Gore’s film, which even the studies Gore cites fail to back up his claims.

The UN’s IPCC group has dropped their estimates significantly from their previous report. Many other studies simply do not agree with the GW claims.

Al Gore may win a best documentary Oscar tomorrow for his film, but it would be another win for a piece of polemical fiction, like Michael Moore’s much discredited Fahrenheit 911. Hollywood’s concept of reality seems to be as real as the CGI found in a low budget movie.

Global Warming Needed Here

If I was this guy, I would have an Al Gore dartboard.

UPDATE: Paging Al Gore.

The Big Chill

Oops. GW takes yet another body blow. This time from Antarctica scientists.

A new report on climate over the world’s southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models.

This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth’s climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity.

It also follows a similar finding from last summer by the same research group that showed no increase in precipitation over Antarctica in the last 50 years. Most models predict that both precipitation and temperature will increase over Antarctica with a warming of the planet.

...

“The best we can say right now is that the climate models are somewhat inconsistent with the evidence that we have for the last 50 years from continental Antarctica .

“We’re looking for a small signal that represents the impact of human activity and it is hard to find it at the moment,” he said.

By the way, these findings have been known for awhile but the IPCC keeps ignoring them. I wonder why...?

Here Comes the Sun

I’ve been saying it all along and no some European scientists back me up. Ha! Take that GW people. Your much vaunted Europeans back me up. [Bjorn Lomberg is also European. What was that about a consensus?)

Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research.

A study by Swiss and German scientists suggests that increasing radiation from the sun is responsible for recent global climate changes.

Dr Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research, said: “The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.

“The Sun is in a changed state. It is brighter than it was a few hundred years ago and this brightening started relatively recently - in the last 100 to 150 years.”

Those hacks at the IPCC are just typical UN money grubbing bureaucrats looking for a hand out from tax payers in rich nations. But the actual, unvarnished, non-ideological science studies show that climate change is a natural and cyclical thing. Just as the seasons change, so does the climate during solar cycles. Scientists have more or less known this for a long time, whcih is why the GW crowds alarmist claims are so specious.

Quote of the Day

“It’s ironic that a field based on challenging unproven theories attacks skeptics in a very unhealthy way.”

The Man Made Global Warming is not scientific. It is ideology. And the people pushing this idea down our throat act like religious zealots.

But I’ll bet some people in New York wishes there were Global Warming right now.

Just don’t send them flowers.

UPDATE: A good article on Climate fanatics

Cosmic Global Warming

Man-made climate change may be happening at a far slower rate than has been claimed, according to controversial new research.

Scientists say that cosmic rays from outer space play a far greater role in changing the Earth’s climate than global warming experts previously thought.

In a book, to be published this week, they claim that fluctuations in the number of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere directly alter the amount of cloud covering the planet.

How cosmic rays could seed clouds diagram

High levels of cloud cover blankets the Earth and reflects radiated heat from the Sun back out into space, causing the planet to cool.

Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Centre who led the team behind the research, believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.

This, he says, is responsible for much of the global warming we are experiencing.

He claims carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity are having a smaller impact on climate change than scientists think. If he is correct, it could mean that mankind has more time to reduce our effect on the climate.

Watch this guy get crucified by all the GW proponents. Even though his theory makes more sense.

Polar Bears on Ice

If you saw that picture of the polar bears stranded on a tiny iceberg, which glbal warming people are claiming is some kind of proof. Guess what...? There’s more to the story.
