The coming global warming
catastrophe is a leftist fairy tale,
first told in the late 1950s.
It is used to scare
the general public,
and create a ( false ) excuse
for more government
regulations and power
( "to save the Earth" ).
Leftists always want
more government power.
They hire bureaucrats
with science degrees
who will make
scary predictions
of the future climate.
The mainstream media
publishes every scary
climate article and "study",
without any skepticism.
Meanwhile, the climate
keeps getting better,
and no bad news shows up !
The mainstream media
won't tell the general public
the average global temperature
has only increased +0.15 degree C.
since the peak in 1980, per
weather satellite measurements.
They won't even tell the public
that weather satellites exist !
The media also won't tell the public
there was no warming at all from
the 2003 peak, to the end of 2018.
.

.
.
An amazing quantity of
climate facts and data
are ignored by anti-science
climate change cult members,
simply because they weaken
or contradict, their
near-religious belief
in a coming global warming
catastrophe, that we've been
waiting for since the late 1950s !
But no climate bad news
ever shows up !

Here is what the
"global warmunists"
deliberately ignore:
.
.
(1)
They ignore climate history,
(1)
They ignore climate history,
which includes hundreds of
long term cooling / warming
cycles over the past 800,000 years,
as determined by ice cores and
other climate proxy studies,
so they can falsely claim
the warming trend since 1850
is unique.
.
.
.
(2)
They ignore the natural
.
(2)
They ignore the natural
warming trend that has
caused glaciers over
Chicago and Detroit to melt,
helping raise the sea level
by over 400 feet after the
last peak glaciation,
about 20,000 years ago
because natural warming
can't be blamed on humans!
.
.
.
.
(3)
They ignore the fact
(3)
They ignore the fact
that compilations of local
temperature measurements,
used to estimate a global average,
began DURING a long-term
warming trend (after 1850),
and then get hysterical
every time a new temperature
record is reached, even though
that's been happening since 1850,
and will continue to happen,
until the next cooling trend starts !
.
.
.
.

They ignore the fact that thermometers
(4)
They ignore the fact that thermometers
have a poor global distribution,
with very few Southern Hemisphere
thermometers before 1900,
and too few until after World War II.
.
.
.
(5)
They ignore the fact
that a majority of
"temperatures" included
in the average temperature
of Earth's surface,
are only wild guesses,
officially called "infilling",
done because there are
no weather stations, or
missing data, in a majority
of the surface area grids
(5 degree longitude by 5 degree latitude).
.
.
.
(6)
They ignore the fact that 1800's
thermometers tended to read low,
when checked against accurate
modern thermometers, so the
starting point for most global
warming claims, in 1880,
has most likely exaggerated
the warming since then.
.
.
.
.
(7)
They ignore an early 1900’s
(7)
They ignore an early 1900’s
change in sea temperature
measurement methodology,
from wood to canvas buckets
-- a methodology change
that coincided with a lot of
“global warming” at the time.
.
The sea temperature measurement
The sea temperature measurement
methodology was later changed
two more times !

They ignore the abandonment
.
(8)
They ignore the abandonment
of most rural USSR weather
stations in the late 1980’s,
after the USSR collapsed ...
The rural measurements
had been biased
by government officlals,
who routinely claimed the
temperatures were colder
than reality, done to get
larger allocations of heating oil
and coal, during the cold winters.
.
The total number of surface
measurements included in
the average global temperature
has changed a lot over time,
peaking in the 1960’s.
.
After the USSR collapsed
.
After the USSR collapsed
in the late 1980's,
the number of weather stations
in operation fell by about half,
in just four years.
.
.
.
(9)
They ignore the fact
(9)
They ignore the fact
that a majority of land
weather stations in the US,
the nation claimed to have the
best weather station network
in the world, are improperly sited
by US standards, with thermometers
too close to buildings, roads, runways
and parking lots, which absorb
heat during the day, and create
“global warming” at night,
when the bricks, concrete
and asphalt release heat
( completely unlike what is
measured at properly sited
weather stations, surrounded
by grass, shrubs, trees, etc. )
.
.
.
(10)
They ignore all weather satellite
.
(10)
They ignore all weather satellite
global temperature compilations,
since 1979, even though satellites
provide near-global data,
with far less infilling (wild guesses),
which for satellites are only required
for small areas around both poles.
Weather satellite data,
show LESS warming than
the surface measurements
... Scientists say the
satellite measurements of the
troposphere should reflect
MORE warming than measured
by the surface thermometers,
because greenhouse warming
takes place in the troposphere,
and the troposphere heats the
surface with less than 100%
efficiency !
.

.
(11)
They ignore a missing
“signature” of greenhouse gas
warming in the tropics,
which would be an increasing
temperature, moving up
in altitude from Earth’s surface,
to roughly six miles up.
.
Weather balloons and
Weather balloons and
weather satellites
consistently measure
NO temperature increase
correlating with altitude,
which is good evidence
that greenhouse gases are
NOT the primary cause of
of the minor increase
of the average temperature
since the late-1800’s.

There is no proof that an average

considering the data are from
weather stations whose count,
locations and instruments
changed radically over time
... and a majority of "grids"
in the surface global average
still have wild guess "infilling",
because there are no thermometers !

The not very smart global warmunists
ignore the very important fact
that no human can predict the future,
whether the future climate,
or future anything else!
