aving observed that global temperatures since the turn of the millennium have not gone up in the way computer-based climate models predicted, Lovelock acknowledged, “the problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago.” Now, Lovelock has given a follow-up interview to the UK’s Guardian newspaper in which he delivers more bombshells sure to anger the global green movement, which for years worshipped his Gaia theory and apocalyptic predictions that billions would die from man-made climate change by the end of this century.
http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/father-of-global-warming-changes-his-mind-...Just as some dismiss sources because they don't trust their motives, believing that they are entrenched in the greedy, right wing criminal element so clearly running things, I don't trust this bunch of scientists who have signed onto the idea that the human race is responsible for a Significant Amount of the change. Really? What percentage IS a Significant Amount?
Why have the computer models so utterly failed? Just exactly HOW does one take the temperature on a rooftop and then Adjust it to compensate for the location? Why stop using weather stations in remote locations? Why place them where they can't possibly report useful data? Unless you Want to see increase.
We were told that hurricanes would increase in number and severity. Not only did that Not Happen, they decreased.
Ice would be gone from the Arctic by 2012. And yet, I am aware of two rescue missions sent to save researchers trapped by ice.
Is there change? Yep, and we are responsible for some of it. But, if CO2 is the bad guy, then we need to plug volcanoes.
CO2 is pumped into hothouses because if they don't, the plants can't thrive.
NAFTA and all the other deals that shipped jobs away? They got shipped to places where regulations that force manufacturers to clean up the discharges don't exist, so, we crapped on America And the world, all in one swell foop.
This issue is just being used as a political football. Al Gore got his movie banned in some places, because the claims are so clearly bogus.
If they honestly want to be taken seriously they need to gather Honest Data, and this time, don't destroy the raw data used to create the basis for a conclusion. While I can See data collection from locations that are nonsensical, I can not be convinced that WE are such a threat.
This truly is a Global Issue, or it is Not. If it is true, then Americans paying a Carbon Tax will not make a dent in it. Yet, that is all I really see the politicians wanting.
Why am I not hearing Fat Al praising the science of Rossi and the hope for the world that That technology is?
Blood and Gore, check it out. A scheme to buy and sell Carbon Offset privileges. Imagine buying a license to throw out the trash on the side of the road.
When I start seeing money making schemes tied to legislation I become skeptical. Couple that with the lack of warnings about how many bad things would come coming true? Pardon my skepticism.
The notion that the right wing is somehow more greedy and willing to engage in corruption to get ahead is ridiculous.
