Fallen Angels

Posted on May 24, 2009 | Comments Off on Fallen Angels

A rollicking bit of anti-warmist fiction that is more science than sci-fi, despite the sci-fi fan characters and events. Course it was published in ’91 (republished in ’02), so it is a little dated in its Global Warming criticism. Still, the thesis is interesting: The Northern Hemisphere has been in an ice age for decades but the ice has been restrained by the pollution and carbon dioxide we’ve been pumping into the atmosphere. So when we stop…

In the novel by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Michael Flynn (I do wonder why it took three guys to write it), the pollution has been cleaned up, we are no longer a carbon economy, and the U.S. is becoming a Third World country. Meanwhile, the glaciers have returned, three hundred feet high at their leading edge, and are sliding ever farther south. Blizzards in September are common north of Missouri. If that’s not likely (I hope), the Green Police of the story certainly are. As one character says: "We’re the land of the fee, and the home of the slave." The GP are the Gorebot with a badge. Yipes.

Algorean science debunked

Think Barry’s & The Dem’s deficit spending is high? Just wait until they double your electricity bill thanks to the corrupt and anti-Semitic U.N.’s climate change malarky. But, hey, ACORN will be happy, and all the new welfare queens and kings the Dems are intent on creating. They’ll get the money from the taxes you pay to run your refrigerator while, ahem, saving the planet.

UPDATE:  EPA is getting the taxing powers ready now. Won’t be long, before the scam tax begins.

MORE:  I’m sure this isn’t definitive–they even teach global warming in Mr. B.’s elementary school–but support seems to be declining for Algorean theories.

Dispelling the AGW myth

Posted on March 24, 2009 | Comments Off on Dispelling the AGW myth

Well, trying to, anyhow, before Barry & Co. further ruin the economy with cap and trade.

I have meteorologist friends whose opinions I respect on most things weather subjects who solemnly believe the global warming stuff. But, try as I may, I just can’t accept the idea that puny man could be damaging the whole planet — especially not with a gas which trees and plants need to grow. I do not trust the UN, and the so-called climate models, backed by shrill alarmists like Al Gore and James Hansen, have just never impressed me. There’s too much evidence against them.

Reprieve from brrr

Finally, it’s warming up again at the rancho after a seemingly endless period of thrity-degree days and nights. But meteorologist Bob Rose says we’re due for more blasts of arctic cold this weekend and next week. How long, as AGW’s critics like to say, does the climate have to cool before the warmists recognize that Al Gore’s warnings are lies? Not to mention the hitherto unremarked but probable climatic effects of the solar wind’s surprise assault.

Just when you thought government couldn’t get more ridiculous. So far, the proposed EPA rule only affects cows and hogs, not people. Gotta save the environment, you know. Can’t make PETA mad, either. Wouldn’t be progressive, no no. Get ready for the price of meat to soar. Hope you like tofu.

I’d bet the recently discovered magnetic portals linking us to the sun every eight minutes have a much bigger effect on our climate than AGW or cow farts. But they wouldn’t give the Left a "crisis" to combat.

Global warming not human fault

Posted on July 17, 2008 | Comments Off on Global warming not human fault

Oops, another dissenter. This time the dean of hurricane forecasters, Colorado State University storm prognosticator William Gray, who says not only are we unlikely to be causing global warming, but what there is of it is unlikely to foster stronger hurricanes or destroy the earth.

Quick, Al, find someone to shut him up before he imperils your scheme. Unless you’re already too busy answering other dissenters. Maybe Barbara Boxer can handle this one.

Via Fresh Bilge, which led me to this lengthy, but readable, scientific argument against Anthropogenic (human-caused) Global Warming, which led to the link above on Gray.

UPDATE:  Oops is right. Now many of the American Physical Society’s almost 50,000 physicists also are out of Al’s and Barbara’s box. Oh, where will it end?

MORE:  Then, mirabile dictu, the physicists changed their minds, again, sort of. So the scheme is still, sort of, safe for now, Gorebot. But watch the gas guzzling, okay? It’s bad for your image, oh sainted one.
