Note to Democrats, Progressive, Marxists and other Big Government lovers: Do yourself a big favor and stop reading this blog now.
Your coming climate change catastrophe prediction is nonsense, just like George Bush's claim of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.
You treat Al Gore as your climate "Pope" -- I consider him a scientific illiterate, who took two elementary science courses in college, and couldn't manage to get an A or B in either of them.
You treat the UN's IPCC Summary Report as your climate "Bible" -- I consider it a non-scientific summary of leftist opinions, supported only by nearly worthless climate computer games that have made wrong climate predictions for the past 30 years.
.
I consider your beloved climate modelers to be computer gamers on the public dole, scaring people to get continued funding, and undermining real climate science.
And if any leftist has read this far, stop demonizing the harmless airborne plant food called CO2, while acting like political zealots -- taking billions of dollars of government grants, refusing to debate your scary predictions, and making idiotic statements such as "the science is settled".
Science is never settled.
And good scientists should always be skeptical.
Start demonizing REAL pollution of the land, water and air -- in China, for one good example -- and then you will be real environmentalists, addressing real pollution.
There has been no global warming trend so far in the 21st century, based on EVERY temperature measurement methodology in use.
.
There were two periods of global warming during the 20th century, one from about 1910 to 1940, and the other from about 1975 to 2000.
No one blames the 1910 to 1940 warming on manmade CO2.
Many people blame the similar 1975 to 2000 warming on manmade CO2.
Claiming two different causes, for two similar climate changes in the same century, makes no sense.
.
Based on weather satellite data from 1979 to 2000, most of the warming from 1975 to 2000 was local warming in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere, mainly at night.
.
There has not been the widespread decade after decade global warming, that we would see if the cause of the warming was manmade carbon dioxide (CO2).
.
The claim that climate computer games can predict Earth's average temperature many decades in the future is a hoax.
The claim that a climate crisis of some sort is coming, that can ONLY be prevented by following the commands of people making that claim, is nothing more than a centuries-old strategy used to gain power over gullible people (originally used by religious leaders).
.
"Environmentalists": Leftists who used to care about real, visible pollution, which was justified, but then changed to promoting imaginary environmental boogeymen to scare people, get attention, and get government jobs and grants.
Climate change attracts people who used to call themselves Marxists, because every environmental "crisis" seems to require the same "solution":
A bigger more powerful central government.
.
"Climate Cult": A subset of "environmentalists" who only care about fossil fuels and global warming.
With no warming trend since the early 2000's, they have cleverly changed their boogeyman's name from "global warming" to "climate change".
Since everything that has ever happened on Earth for the past 4.5 billion years has been accompanied by climate change, this cult will blame every extreme local weather event on "climate change", even unusually cold weather!
.
"Environmental Boogeyman": Any environmental issue, real or imaginary, claimed to be a "crisis" which will end life on Earth as we know it … unless everyone follows "environmentalist" orders without question.
When a boogeyman stops scaring people, it is replaced by a new boogeyman, and the old boogeyman silently "disappears".
Nothing bad actually happens -- the primary goal is just to scare people.
“Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early twenty-first century’s developed world went into a hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.”

Who are you going to believe, me, or this New York Times headline: "America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776"?
Sorry if I tricked you -- that "Longest Warm Spell" headline was from the March 27, 1933 New York Times!
In the US It was so hot in the 1930s that in recent decades climate "scientists" have quietly and repeatedly revised average temperature data from the 1930s, gradually making the decade cooler and cooler!
In modern "climate science" there's no need to let unpleasant raw data interfere with oh so precious global warming beliefs -- just keep "adjusting" until the data eventually matches the computer games (climate models).
Environmentalists clearly exhibit cult-like behavior:
- They ridicule and character attack skeptics.
- They refuse to debate.
- They refuse to admit they could be wrong.
- They have a "Pope" (Al Gore) and a "Bible" (UN's IPCC Summary Report).
- They reject science and real data in favor of climate astrology (computer game simulations of the climate 100 years into the future, that have been grossly overestimating actual warming for three decades ... so far).
