Junk science is exciting !

Junk science is always,
stated with great confidence,
and can never be "falsified".

1977 junk science:
   A global COOLING catastrophe is coming!

1987 junk science:
   A global WARMING catastrophe is coming!

1997 junk science:
   A global warming catastrophe is coming!

2007 junk science:
   A global warming catastrophe is coming!

2017 junk science:
   A global warming catastrophe is coming!

2027 junk science:
   A global TBD catastrophe is coming!
Maybe warming?
Maybe cooling?
Maybe something even more exciting?

This article,
is formatted,
for easy reading,
on smart phones, 
and is my attempt, 
to make climate change,
more interesting.

Real Science is boring,
includes doubt,
and skepticism,
and theories can be falsified. 


Those smarmy leftists,
took all the pleasure,
out of mild night time warming,
by calling it "climate change",
because if they said,
"warmer nights in colder nations"
that wouldn't scare anyone.

Leftists want you excited,
and very scared,
of climate change,
so you will demand.
that your government,
do something now,
and that something,
will be more regulations,
and more control,
over the private sector, 
with a goal of new energy taxes,
to fund even more,
government spending.  


"Climate change",
is politics and junk science,
with only a small amount,
of real science,
which is:
-- Based on very simple,
laboratory experiments,
CO2 may cause,
mild, harmless warming,
in the real world,
mainly at night,
in cold climates,
adding up to,
only +1 degree C.,
of warming,
in the next 133* to 200** years!
 * = 2 ppm per year more CO2 in air
** = 3 ppm per year more CO2 in air


Climate change has become,
an indirect route to socialism,
without saying "socialism",  
by allowing bureaucrats,
and politicians,
to falsely claim,
they need to expand,
the government,
"to save the Earth". 

The problem with this scheme,
is our climate is wonderful now,
and has been getting better,
for at least 500 years,
so it would be counterproductive,
to to stop adding CO2,
to the atmosphere, 
because adding CO2 is good news: 
(1) greening our planet,
(2) enhancing food production, and
(3) probably making nights warmer,
in colder, dryer areas, 
so far measured,
mainly in the northern half, 
of the Northern Hemisphere.


After 40 years living in Michigan,
and 30 years in the same home,
the leftist global warming frenzy,
made me expect no more snow here,
but our climate has barely changed. 

My wife is outside now,
shoveling the first snow,
off our driveway,
and will later tell me,
she enjoyed the workout,
to make me feel,
like a lazy bum,

Long ago I had told her,
with great certainty,
that most Michigan men,
die from heart attacks,
from shoveling snow,
knowing they will be late,
to a job they don't like.

And that's why,
I prevented 'certain death'
by retiring at age 51,
at the end of 2004,
from a white collar job,
I didn't like,
and halted snow shoveling,
which 'allowed me',
to reach age 64 this year! 


I've been reading,
about climate change,
online since 1997, 
and I have to admit,
climate change reading,
sometimes gets tedious,
especially articles and papers, 
that are 100% climate science, 
and no climate politics.

In the past 20 years,
there were many times,
I struggled to reach my goal,
of reading at least one,
serious climate science article,
every week. 


The big picture is,
government bureaucrat,
"climate science",
is junk science,
and it is not a close call.  

Government bureaucrats,
make up "facts".

They make wild guess predictions,
of the future temperature,
that have been way off for 30 years,
making them look like fools,
so they repeatedly "adjust",
historical temperature data,
to create more global warming,
out of thin air,
desperate to make,
their prior predictions,
look less wrong!


The 'global warmunists',
top talking points,
are completely data-free,
or use manipulated data,
all endlessly repeated,
like propaganda, 
but also easily refuted.

Top Five examples 
of climate junk science: 
Note: This section was removed,
rewritten and reformatted,
greatly expanded,
sliced and diced, 
infilled and homogenized,
until it became a new article,
called "The 10 Big Whoppers,
of Fake Climate Science"
posted at this blog on December 17:
http://elonionbloggle.blogspot.com/2017/12/10-big-whoppers-of-fake-climate-science.html


The leftists have made up.
"Fake Facts",
for the past 30 years,
to support their fairy tale,
of a coming climate catastrophe!

Government "climate science" itself,
is actually a bad joke:
-- A collection of "Fake Facts",
defended with character attacks,
on every skeptic who speaks up.

"Climate change" is actually,
an indirect attack on capitalism,
through a direct attack on,
inexpensive fossil fuels,
that support economic growth.


I recently thought about,
the fake +2 degrees C. ,
global warming "Tipping Point",
that some leftist economist,
once pulled out of his hat,
or maybe from two feet lower.

The average temperature,
had already increased,
at least +2 degrees,
since the late 1600s,
when solar energy was very low,
called the Maunder Minimum,
an unusually cold period,
that caused famines in Europe.

Did that +2 degrees C. warming,
possibly up to +3 degrees C.,
since the late 1600s,
cause any problems?
No problems at all. 
People were thrilled,
by a warming climate,
based on anecdotal evidence. 



Here are some quotes,
that define leftism,
with few words,
and great wisdom:


Leftists tell everyone else 
how to live, with no debate allowed:

"The urge to save humanity 
       is almost always
  a false front for the urge to rule."
            -- H. L. Mencken




Reason why leftists invented the fake
'coming climate change catastrophe': 

"The whole aim of practical politics 
is to keep the populace alarmed 
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety) 
by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
           -- H. L. Mencken




Leftist "climate scientists",
on government payrolls, 
made wrong climate predictions, 
for the past 30 years -- 
-- the predictions are wrong, 
because to keep their jobs, 
they have to believe, 
CO2 controls the temperature,
 ... but it doesn't: 

“It is difficult to get a man 
to understand something 
when his salary depends upon 
his not understanding it.” 
-- Upton Sinclair

that define leftism,

My 10 Rules of Thumb,
for self-improvement:

        LIFE:
(1)  The Golden Rule

(2)  Who said life was fair?

(3)  Don't talk with a full mouth, 
        or empty head.

(4)  When in doubt, tell the truth.

(5)  If you wouldn't write it and sign it, 
        then don't say it.

(6)  Character is what you do,
        when no one is watching.

(7)  A wise man changes his mind; 
        a fool, never.

(8)  Don't believe predictions of the future. 


          WORK:
 (9)  Perfection is the enemy, 
         of getting a job done on time.

(10)  Think twice, act once --
         --  measure twice, cut once.

(11)  Without data, 
all you have is an opinion.

(12)  If it was fun, 
they wouldn't have to pay you.

The End
I hope this article,
was more interesting,
than most climate articles,
and I can say for sure,
that I did not fall asleep one time,
while writing it.

Bingham Farms, Michigan**

** current weather = damn cold,
where's that @#$%& global warming,
when we need it !

How cold was it this morning, 
you ask?
It was so cold,
when the wife,
opened the front door,
for the first time,
our cat Sneaky,
raced out the door,
rolled around on the cement,
as he usually does outside, 
for reasons we don't understand,
but the cement was so cold,
he went back in to sit on a heat vent. 
That's how cold it was!
