Why is it that every time the Global Warming fanatics get together to try and scare the world into economic ruin it happens to be freezing outside with a chance of snow?  Why is it that when emails surface about “leading climate scientists” fudging data and results nobody really cares enough to do anything about it.  Lately I heard some idiot try and tell me that its getting colder because of Global Warming.  What?  How stupid do these people really think we are?  Well, honestly they think we are all morons that can’t tell hot from cold.  In a recent article, David Rose, columnist for the Daily Mail in London lays this entire debate out for all to see.  But did you see it on NBC or hear about it on NPR?  Of course not.  They think that if Al Gore doesn’t spew it then its not worth repeating.  Below I have reprinted some of the highlights and at the bottom is a link to the entire, brilliant article.

The Mini Ice Age Starts Here

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.

Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in summer by 2013.

According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.

Comment:  Of course they don’t dispute it, they just lie to us and tell us that it is caused because the damn planet is getting hotter.  Honestly, I don’t think they know what the hell they are talking about.  Also, then rarely give us a time-frame for thier impending doom scenario.

They say that their research shows that much of the warming was caused by oceanic cycles when they were in a ‘warm mode’ as opposed to the present ‘cold mode’.  This challenge to the widespread view that the planet is on the brink of an irreversible catastrophe is all the greater because the scientists could never be described as global warming ‘deniers’ or skeptics.  However, both main British political parties continue to insist that the world is facing imminent disaster without drastic cuts in CO2.

Comment: In America only the power-hungry leftists assuage the catastrophe theory of global warming.  But “Global Warming” doesn’t poll well, so they have started using the term “Global Climate Change.”  This gives them the ability to claim victory no matter which way the climate goes.

Last week, as Britain froze, Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband maintained in a parliamentary answer that the science of global warming was ‘settled’.  Among the most prominent of the scientists is Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has been pushing the issue of man-made global warming on to the international political agenda since it was formed 22 years ago.  Prof Latif, who leads a research team at the renowned Leibniz  Institute at Germany’s Kiel University, has developed new methods for measuring ocean temperatures 3,000ft beneath the surface, where the cooling and warming cycles start.  He and his colleagues predicted the new cooling trend in a paper published in 2008 and warned of it again at an IPCC conference in Geneva last September.  He told The Mail on Sunday:  ”A significant share of the warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at earlier periods in the 20th Century was due to these cycles – perhaps as much as 50 per cent.  They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer.  The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.”

Comment:  So let me get this right.  The warming that we have been so drastically warned about was caused by cycles in ocean temperatures NOT man-made green house gas emissions?  And now these same cycles have shown a trend toward cooler winters for the next 30 years?  Thank God I installed twisty lightbulbs and low-flow toilets in my house!

According to Prof Latif and his colleagues, this in turn relates to much longer-term shifts – what are known as the Pacific and Atlantic ‘multi-decadal oscillations’ (MDOs).  Prof Anastasios Tsonis, head of the University of Wisconsin Atmospheric Sciences Group, has recently shown that these MDOs move together in a synchronised way across the globe, abruptly flipping the world’s climate from a ‘warm mode’ to a ‘cold mode’ and back again in 20 to 30-year cycles.  ”They amount to massive rearrangements in the dominant patterns of the weather,” he said yesterday, “and their shifts explain all the major changes in world temperatures during the 20th and 21st Centuries.

‘We have such a change now and can therefore expect 20 or 30 years of cooler temperatures.”  Prof Tsonis said, “The period from 1915 to 1940 saw a strong warm mode, reflected in rising temperatures.  But from 1940 until the late Seventies, the last MDO cold-mode era, the world cooled, despite the fact that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continued to rise.  Many of the consequences of the recent warm mode were also observed 90 years ago.  For example, in 1922, the Washington Post reported that Greenland’s glaciers were fast disappearing, while Arctic seals were ‘finding the water too hot.”  In contrast, Prof Tsonis said, last week 56 per cent of the surface of the United States was covered by snow.  ”That hasn’t happened for several decades,’ he pointed out. ‘It just isn’t true to say this is a blip. We can expect colder winters for quite a while.”

Like Prof Latif, Prof Tsonis is not a climate change ‘denier’. There is, he said, a measure of additional ‘background’ warming due to human activity and greenhouse gases that runs across the MDO cycles.

But he added:  ”I do not believe in catastrophe theories. Man-made warming is balanced by the natural cycles, and I do not trust the computer models which state that if CO2 reaches a particular level then temperatures and sea levels will rise by a given amount.  These models cannot be trusted to predict the weather for a week, yet they are running them to give readings for 100 years.”

Comment:  This is the only climate scientist that I will believe from now on.  He seems to be honest in his statements.  Have humans changed the climate of this planet?  Sure, but I don’t think we can make such a difference as to alter the natural processes of this planet.  We are like fleas on the back of a dog, annoying but not life threatening.

William Gray, emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University, said that while he believed there had been some background rise caused by greenhouse gases, the computer models used by advocates of man-made warming had hugely exaggerated their effect.

According to Prof Gray, these distort the way the atmosphere works. “Most of the rise in temperature from the Seventies to the Nineties was natural,” he said. “Very little was down to CO2 – in my view, as little as five to ten per cent.”

Comment: Wait, another scientist that says climate change is a natural process?  Why are these guys not on CNN or MSNBC?  Oh that’s right, they will never get on your TV because they don’t follow the global warming crowd.  They have those pesky facts and stuff.

But last week, die-hard warming advocates were refusing to admit that MDOs were having any impact.

In March 2000, Dr David Viner, then a member of the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, the body now being investigated over the notorious ‘Warmergate’ leaked emails, said that within a few years snowfall would become ‘a very rare and exciting event’ in Britain, and that ‘children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”  Dr Viner last week said he still stood by that prediction, “We’ve had three weeks of relatively cold weather, and that doesn’t change anything.  This winter is just a little cooler than average, and I still think that snow will become an increasingly rare event.”

So what we take away from this article?  1) weather has nothing to do with climate; 2) the term ‘leading scientist’ doesn’t mean they don’t lie; and 3) go find out the truth for yourself!
