Here's a baffling headline: Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out.
Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.So why are they baffled? The question answers itself. Their predictive models are inadequate. Instead of simply admitting it, they are saying that nature doesn't play fair because the world is not conforming to their computer predictions.
[M]eteorologist Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern German city of Kiel. Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument about that," he says. "We have to face that fact."Because climate science is a financial racket more than a scientific discipline (more about that in a moment) the wonder is not that the warming predictions were wrong, but that scientists like Latif are finally admitting that they basically don't know what they're doing. Fact is, they have been doing science hardly at all. They've been running computer programs that confirm their own biases, the main one of which is to publish papers that please politicians who are ever-thirsty for more power. Climate alarmism is the hottest thing going for statist ideology today across the globe and politicians reliably keep the gravy train running for scientists who buttress it.
In fact, none of the modeling used to predict the end of the world as we know it accounts for:
- The effect of water vapor, which accounts for 95 percent of atmospheric temperature effects,
- The influence of clouds,
- The influence of cosmic radiation of cloud formation,
- An atmosphere that does in fact end in space - models mathematically assume the atmosphere extends to infinity,
- The effect of deep-ocean, cold water flows,
- The effect of sunspots,
- The intensity of sunlight.
Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today. ...The emails had been stored on servers of the University of East Anglia (England) Climate Research Unit. Their volume (63 MB), plus documents also released, mitigates against fraud by anyone except the warmist scientists, and that extending over many years. In fact, CRU's director has said the emails are genuine. Lots is email excerpts at that link. Charlie Martin advises caution of swallowing the emails as a smoking gun just yet since they seem just too perfect for warming skeptics' case,
Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind. ...
In one email, dated November 1999, one scientist wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
But then, the whole package is very large — 63 megabytes — and seems to be very internally consistent. Several people have already corroborated a number of the emails as being ones they wrote or received. The package also includes substantial data and computer programs, which are being explored as this is being written.It gets worse for warmism advocates. Proof that global "warming" is not happening came from an unlikely but unimpeachable source. Oprah Winfrey "Wants Biz In LA Not Chicago; 'Why Would Anybody Stay?
