I
read the news today, oh boy. A bunch of global warming religionists
go on an Antarctic expedition to measure the “melting sea ice”
and become trapped in record thick sea ice, while ice cutters from
three nations fail to reach the stranded cruise ship because of thick
ice they cannot cut through. In the midst of their own peril, this
cult of Global Warming enthusiasts still blamed ‘climate change’
for their situation. Reminds me of
when Al Gore delivered a lecture in March 2014 during the First
Business Forum on Sustainability and Environment on the outskirts of
San Jose, Costa Rica, arguing that global warming meant the end of
snow and that there would soon be no more snowy areas to hold future
Winter Olympic games. Today I read that snow was just recorded in one
of the hottest places on Earth in the Sahara Desert near the town of
Ain Sefra, Algeria. Oh boy.
Very
hard to resist satire, especially when it comes to Al Gore. Also in
the headlines today was a report that 485 scientific papers were
published in 2017 that undermine the so-called consensus on climate
change. Apparently, the dangers of anthropogenic global warming is
not nearly as settled among climate scientists as people would like
to imagine. The papers are not written by uninformed climate deniers,
but by serious scientists who believe that the true nature of
scientific inquiry is not to bow to some proposed dogma—especially
where significant ideological, political and economic interests are
at play—but to see where the facts lead on their own.
Analysis
of these papers by Kenneth Richard delineated findings in one or more
substantiated
arguments:
”The
first position attributes greater weight to the role of natural
mechanisms in changes to the climate system than are acknowledged by
climate alarmists, while giving correspondingly less importance to
the influence of increased CO2 concentrations on climatic changes.
Over 100 of these papers, for instance, examine the substantial solar
influence on climate and weather, such as temperature variations and
precipitation patterns.
“The third position casts doubt upon the efficacy and reliability of computer climate models for projecting future climate states, suggesting that such predictions are “little more than speculation” given the enormous uncertainty and margins of error in a non-linear climate system with nearly infinite variables. Twenty-eight of the articles in question examined climate model unreliability, including factual errors and the influence of biases, while an additional 12 found no net global warming during the 20th/21st century.
“The fourth position questioned the effectiveness of current policies aimed at curbing emissions and pushing renewable energy, finding them both ineffective and even harmful to the environment. This position also offered a more sanguine evaluation of the projected effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer climate, questioning doomsday scenarios and proposing net benefits to the biosphere such as a greener planet and enhanced crop yields. In this category, 12 of the papers documented the failures of policies targeting renewable energy and climate, 8 contended that wind power is harming the environment and biosphere, 13 argued that elevated CO2 levels make for a greener planet with higher crop yields, and 5 proposed that warming is beneficial to both humans and wildlife.”
To summarize all of them into one explanation, let's just cut to the chase:
IT'S
THE SUN, Al
