Prison Planet again wrong on Global Warming

[Swamp Gas]

Yawn.......Yet another attempt by PP to say that the consensus on Global Warming is contradicted by a few Oil industry hacks. Watson, Jones, and the other Stealth Right Wingers really look like asses when they try to be climatologists.

Global warming consensus takes another battering

Paul Joseph Watson

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Three top scientists have once again contradicted the claim that a “consensus” exists about man-made global warming with research that indicates CO2 emissions actually cool the atmosphere, in addition to another peer-reviewed paper that documents how the IPCC overstated CO2’s effect on temperature by as much as 2000 per cent.

Professor George Chilingar and Leonid Khilyuk of the University of Southern California, and Oleg Sorokhtin of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have released a study that they claim completely contradicts the link between CO2 and global temperature increases.

“The writers investigated the effect of CO2 emission on the temperature of atmosphere. Computations based on the adiabatic theory of greenhouse effect show that increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere results in cooling rather than warming of the Earth’s atmosphere,” states the preamble to the paper.


The full study, which appears in the Energy Sources journal, is sure to cause ire amongst climate cult adherants.

No global warming has been observed for the past 10 years as temperatures have gradually declined and studies indicate that there will be no further warming for the next 10 years.

In a related development, the peer-reviewed Physics and Society journal has published evidence proving that the UN IPCC’s 2007 climate summary “overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%.”

According to the paper, “Computer models used by the UN’s climate panel (IPCC) were pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is “climate sensitivity” (temperature increase in response to greenhouse-gas increase), resulting in a 500-2000% overstatement of CO2’s effect on temperature in the IPCC’s latest climate assessment report, published in 2007.”

The paper also outlines evidence to confirm that Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed, a factor attributed to the Sun having been more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.

The paper concludes, “CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100.”

Man, Watson, Alex Jones, Rivero, and the other Right Wingers are really looking like idiots.

Stick with 9/11 and Police State. You are fools when it comes to Global Warming and social issues.

Top Rocket Scientist: No Evidence CO2 Causes Global Warming


Another major man-made climate change advocate recants

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

The campaign to force people to accept that “the debate is over” and that man-made CO2 emissions are driving climate change is in deep trouble, with another top global warming advocate - rocket scientist and carbon accounting expert Dr. Richard Evans - completely reversing his position.

Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005 and he wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia’s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.

In an article for The Australian newspaper, Evans highlights why he was so keen to jump on board the man-made explanation without there being any clear conclusion as to what was driving temperature increases in the period from the end of the 70’s to 1998.


“The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly?” writes Evans. “Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.”

“But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming,” he concludes.

Evans points out that the “greenhouse signature” that would indicate CO2 emissions are driving temperature increases - “a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics” - which would be evident if climate change was man-made, is simply non-existent.

“If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming,” he writes.

Evans highlights data collected from satellites positioned around the globe that indicates temperatures have dropped about 0.6C in the past year - back to 1980 levels. Such figures are complimented by anecdotal evidence of a cooling pattern - China recently experienced its coldest winter in 100 years while northeast America was hit by record snow levels and Britain suffered its coldest April in decades as late-blooming daffodils were pounded with hail and snow on an almost daily basis.

Evans also cites historical climate change and the fact that CO2 does not cause, but in fact lags behind temperature increase by as much as 800 years.

“The new ice cores show that in the past six global warmings over the past half a million years, the temperature rises occurred on average 800 years before the accompanying rise in atmospheric carbon. Which says something important about which was cause and which was effect,” he writes.

“The last point was known and past dispute by 2003, yet Al Gore made his movie in 2005 and presented the ice cores as the sole reason for believing that carbon emissions cause global warming. In any other political context our cynical and experienced press corps would surely have called this dishonest and widely questioned the politician’s assertion,” writes Evans.

Evans warns that the insistence on behalf of the man-made advocate establishment that “the debate is over,” despite the fact that a CO2 link to climate change “was merely asserted, not proved,” and the glee with which governments have adopted measures to fight global warming under this false assumption, will cause economies to be wrecked and as temperatures cool further, authorities will have to face charges of “criminal negligence” for deliberately lying to the public about climate change.

Evans’ public reversal of his position arrives on the back of two peer reviewed scientific papers, one of which documents how C02 emissions in fact cool the planet’s temperature and another that shows how the IPCC overstated CO2’s effect on temperature by as much as 2000 per cent.

As we reported last week, the world is cooling, sea levels are falling, ice is spreading, there are fewer extreme weather events, and it was hotter 1000 years ago, yet the myth of global warming is providing governments the excuse to micromanage every aspect of our lives, with Al Gore now openly calling for a carbon tax on the energy we use.

Andrew Bolt of the Australian Sun-Herald has put together a series of graphs based on numbers from a plethora of scientific bodies to prove that the most alarmist claims about climate change are not only unproven, but in fact the complete opposite of what man-made global warming advocates proclaim is now being observed.

The requisite debunking of these flat earthers.

No peer-reviewed articles on climate change

According to his own resume, Evans has not published a single peer-reviewed research paper on the subject of climate change. Evans published only a single paper in 1987 in his career and it is unrelated to climate change.

Evans has published an article for the Alabama-based Ludwig von Mises Instutute, a right-wing free-market think tank.

Evans also published a "background briefing" (pdf) document for the Australian chapter of the Lavoisier Group, a global warming "skeptic" organization with close ties to the mining industry.

"I am not a climate modeler"

From 1999 to 2006 Evans worked for the Australian Greenhouse Office designing a carbon accounting system that is used by the Australian Government to calculate its land-use carbon accounts for the Kyoto Protocol. While Evans says (pdf) that "[he] know a heck of a lot about modeling and computers," he states clearly that he is "not a climate modeler."

Background

David Evans lives in Australia and gained media attention after an article he wrote titled, No Smoking Hot Spot was published in The Australian in June, 2008.The article claims that climate change is not caused by C02 emissions because there is no evidence of "a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics." Evan's claim has been thoroughly debunked by Tim Lambert, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales.

According to his bio, Evans claims to be a 'Rocket Scientist' and one article claims that he is a 'Top Rocket Scientist.' While Evans background does show that he has a PhD in electrical engineering, there is no evidence that he was ever employed as a rocket scientist.

Evans also claims to be "building a word processor for Windows." DeSmogBlog contacted Microsoft Corp. and they have confirmed that he does not work for Microsoft Corporation.

Prison Planet has totally fallen in bed with the Astroturf movement as well in terms of healthcare reform. I have a personal story to share about this matter later. Not to go off subject....

Anyway, please help to get Beck off the air. At least twelve advertisers have dumped his ass so far. This isn't about defending Obama. This about defending common decency.

Beck is like ALex Jones in certain ways. I agree with them on various issues, but essentially my hippy/beatnik roots do not jive with them on a personal basis. I mean, The Beatles and Tim Leary as CIA, or there is no global warming. That's just plain silly. On Hillary and Police State, of course I agree with them.

That is the nice thing about being non-partisan...You don't have to take sides, just take the most logical and compassionate point of view.

[KNOWTHIS]

Jones had Alan Keyes on just the other day. Are you F'-ing kidding me? What's worse was when he had these two clowns on.

I get douche chills when I see this.

Jones with.... I can't even say it.

This really opened my eyes. Jones pretends not to know about these two but he gushed like a school girl when they showered him with praise.

[Swamp Gas]

Jones is still a right winger at heart, and sometimes I wonder about Cointel connections. The confusion comes in when these guys are correct on issues. But then again, only a fool would say there is no police state in the USA. To me the fulcrum is 9/11. Jones got it correct. However, he is strangely silent on Zionists, who I feel are the core of the New World Order and had a big hand in 9/11.

You remember a certain poster here who worshiped Alex. He used to be amazed at hippies, the culture, and the music. Then Alex, Makow, Mike Rivero, etc started with this "Hippies, Leary, Beatles are CIA" crap, and this certain poster now is hating vegetarians, hippies, and environmentalists. Now mind you, this person was no dummy, so you can imagine people who read these authors like Christians read the bible.

[KNOWTHIS]

Alex Jones always says that Hitler called himself a vegetarian and environmentalist therefore those things are evil. Yet Hitler also called himself a Christian. Jones would of course say that he was lying about being a Christian. So why then wouldn't we also assume that he was lying about being a vegetarian and environmentalist? The difference is simple. He picks and chooses. He agrees with the religious right so he makes excuses for them. He sees the other two areas as being liberal so he doesn't excuse them. Then he tries to claim that he doesn't believe in a false left/right paradigm when he only supports Republican candidiates.

[Swamp Gas]

That "Hitler was a vegetarian" has been debunked so many times that Alex sounds like a fool.

michaelbluejay.com/veg/hitler.html

You're correct. Alex chooses what is "evil" and what is "good". You have to wonder whether Alex is Cointel. After all, it is like Rense...tie in craziness with legit theories like 9/11, and then logical people will ignore EVERYTHING you say.
