In his movie, Inconvenient Truth, Gore predicted the foundations for the Twin Tower Memorial would be under 20 feet of ocean water by 2015. Sunday (Dec 13) was the 7th year anniversary, as we remember Gore's prediction that the North Pole would be ice free in five years. It is the end of another hapless hurricane season. Ten years ago, we remember Katrina (2005). What the Left wants us to forget is that the disaster opened the door for end of the world predictions of mammoth storms, larger and with higher winds than at any time in human history. Laughable and in total denial of anything we might call "scientific."
Gore said, "Some of the models suggest to Dr. Maslowski, there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during summer, during some of the summer months could be ice free within 5 to 7 years."
ReplyDelete1) He said, "Some of the models suggest to Dr. Maslowski"
2) 75% chance ... in 5 - 7 yrs.
And based on this, Smithson concludes, "Gore predicted...."
Disingenuous.
Turns out that Gore's 75% chance of an ice free North Pole was a zero percent chance. Smithson is right. You are wrong.
DeleteNOAA: Arctic air warmest in 115 years

Warmest in 115 years??? NOAA ???
ReplyDeleteFirst the obvious: " . . . . . and still, there is all that ice at the North Pole."
#2 : No one knows, with precision, the temp 115 yrs ago.
#3 : And, speaking of precision, the "warmest in 115 yrs" is something like a .003 degrees Celsius increase in temp averages.
#4 : There is no such thing as "global warming." If I deleted Eastern U.S.A., the two oceans north of the equator (el nino is a natural occurrence), and the industrialized sections of Europe, China and India, there would be no "global" warming. Indeed, there is warming, but it is regional (obviously() and not global and has been going on for billions of years. Understand that "global warming" is what happens to the earth between ice ages.
#5 : Finally, NOAA is a federal agency. The reader should know that it is a firing offense to question "global warming" at any federal agency. The reader should know that the Far Left, using the fear of "global warming" to redistribute American wealth to the rest of the world, and, are working feverishly (before the coming 2016 Democrat/GOP election) to criminalize opposition speech regarding the warming debate. Understand, they do not want debate (Gore has refused nearly 600 debate challenges, over the years) but compliance without (a) discussion or (b) the right to vote on the issue. Aggressive totalitarian autocratic rule is precisely the policy of the New Marxist/Democrat Party. And, that is what the coming election cycle is all about.
The data and fact just keep piling on, and the willfully ignorant ignore.
ReplyDeleteNovember 2015 was Earth’s warmest November on record by a huge margin, according to data released by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) on Thursday. November 2015 also had the second largest positive departure of temperature from average of any month among all 1631 months in the historical record that began in January 1880; only last month (October 2015) was more extreme.
NOAA's top ten warmest global monthly departures from the 20th Century average:
1) 0.99°C, Oct 2015
2) 0.97°C, Nov 2015
3) 0.91°C, Sep 2015
4) 0.89°C, Mar 2015
5) 0.88°C, Feb 2015
5) 0.88°C, Jan 2007
7) 0.87°C, Aug 2015
7) 0.87°C, Jun 2015
9) 0.86°C, Feb 1998
10) 0.85°C, May 2015
The table above, looks more like the temp increase in the US of approximately 1 degree (F) since 1997. That 1 degree above average, has remained consistent for 17 years . . . no significant change. And where did I get this information? From Central Controlled EPA (http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/indicators/weather-climate/temperature.html).
DeleteAnd, if greenhouse gases cause warming, we are in luck, because carbon emissions have been level (2000 - 2008) and on the decrease since 2008 to the present. See the EPA chart here, http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.html.
In other words, current law and practice has apparently solved the problem.
Also, keep in mind that "global warming" is nothing more than a mathematical averaging of a number of regions. To be precise, it is not global warming, but regional warming. There is no such thing as "global" warming. The fact that the United States has not contributed to "global" warming averages, over the last 17 years according to the EPA, is proof we are not talking about "global."

ReplyDeleteEverything from within several hundred mile south of the Arctic Circle is up 4 to 5 degrees
.....IF I get to choose where those 7 .regions are drawn...I pretty certain I can prove that the majority of the world is hotter .
ALL satellite systems with millions of data sets show a GLOBAL WARMING dating back decades....
...WE have tens of thousands of sites in every nation on earth taking temperatures and they reflect GLOBAL WARMING dating back decades....
...WE have hundreds of buoy temperature sites at many positions in EVERY ocean on EARTH.and they reflect GLOBAL WARMING....
....
The last 20 years have been the hottest 20 year period in recorded history.......
That was challenged by a number of teams that examined in detail ice bores from all over the world and both poles......CONFIRMED that the last 20 years were the hottest, not just in recorded history but in THOUSANDS OF YEARS..
A number of other science teams challenge those reports and examined TREE RINGS from around the world....and they , too, confirmed that the last 20 years were the hottest in thousands of year.
Smithson is an excellent study in how the data is ignored and parroted among the weak minded. They hang their hat on the fact that '98 was an unusually warm year and they deduce there has been no warming since then. They don't look at substantive data such as number of months on in the top 10 warmest departures from normal, they don't look at sea surface temp. They take a few cherry picked facts like 1998 and antarctic ice and make their flawed case ... exactly what the top 1% energy industry wants and has been pushing for through paid political (non scientific) influence ... they play right into their hands, willful idiots. It's the hallmark of the scientifically illiterate. Most of them are creationists as well. Pathetic really.
ReplyDeleteAnd still, Gore made his failed predictions and I have those pesky charts published by the EPA.
DeleteYou are jealous of the vast intellect of Vice President Gore.
DeleteCan;'t get the picture of his fat ass lying on a massage table, paying good money to have some little oriental gal give him some pleasure.
