World Heritage At Risk From Global Warming – UCS

In this instance – World Heritage sites.
More classic UNEP agitprop to attempt to scare, deceive and convert you.
Remember all these fears and scares are based on failed (overheated) UN/IPCC CMIP5 RCP8.5 climate *models*.
Predictive (UN IPCC) models are not science and do not observe reality. They are predictions based on perceived inputs in and desired results out. Then the CAGW complicit MSM media simply runs with the output because those same modelled outputs suit their agenda nicely too, objectivity denied absolute.

The Union of Socialist Concerned Scientists have teamed up with the UN for their latest scare story, how thousands of world heritage sites are at risk from climate change.
Their British offerings include the remarkable neolithic site of Skara Brae in the Orkneys.

The Republic of Science
Posted: May 31, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentExcellent read on how ‘groupthink’ and ‘confirmation bias’ pollutes the sciences.
Especially relevant in today’s – environmental “save the planet” scientific realm.
Important read.

Paul Douglas’ Claims Don’t Stand Up To Scrutiny
Posted: May 31, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentThis analysis, a great example of how easy it is for today’s “climate change” alarmists to reach for doom and gloom without comparing an historical perspective.
In this case, and with so many climate related issues, low CO2 records show the same ‘extremity’ as claimed in today’s climate/weather patterns.
More history, less TV, might be a good thing to understand how the climate around you actually works and behaves, over time.

I return to that piece in the Guardian last week, in which US meteorologist claims that he can see global warming’s effect on weather.
It is sometimes useful to look at things at the local level. Douglas, who lives in Minneapolis, claims that rainfall rates are increasing there and that flooding is worse.
If we look at the NOAA precipitation chart for Minnesota, we can see rainfall does appear to have increased in the last few decades.

Dying from heat and cold: which extreme is the more deadly?
Posted: May 31, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment“It would appear that current global warming is actually helping to reduce the yearly number of temperature-related deaths.
Yet, somehow, this good news never seems to get reported in the media.”Surprise, surprise.

Hot or cold[Image credit: BBC]
Climate catastrophists should be careful what they wish for, according to this review featured by CO2 Science.
In a review of the human health effects of temperature, Seltenrich (2015) writes that “while isolated heat waves pose a major health risk and grab headlines when they occur, recent research has uncovered a more complex and perhaps unexpected relationship between temperature and public health,” which is, as he continues, that “on the whole, far more deaths occur in cold weather than in hot.”

A Major Malaise of Climatology is Pervasive in Science

Guest Opinion; Dr. Tim Ball
Scientists lost the scientific script somewhere in the 20th century. The major loss involved the fact that correlation is not cause and effect. It was lost for several reasons:
- Failure to know or consistently apply scientific methods;
- Lack of ethics as the end justifies the means;
- Methods and process are not taught or emphasized;
- People are more willing to bypass or ignore everything for funding;
- Too many are willing to subjugate or exploit research for a political agenda;
- Achieving results to advance a career is more important;
- A person gets caught up in Groupthink as they go along to get along;
- and scientists are unwilling to look to themselves to stop the rot.
All of these reasons were on display in the leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU).
An example of the problem of correlation occurred recently on TV screen when a…

Wind Power May Be The Greatest Scam of Our Age.
Posted: May 30, 2016 Filed under: Alarmism uncovered, Climate Fraud, Environmentalism, Fact Check, Failed Green Schemes, Government Grants/Funding, Govt Climate Agenda, Green Agenda, Green Energy, Unreliables, Wind Farms | Tags: Fuel Poverty, Global Warming Scam, unreliables, Wind Energy, wind energy scam, Wind Farms Leave a commentBang on.
The wind power industry is in a panic. The deal to renew a tax credit failed on Thursday in Washington. This will have major ramifications where installations of wind projects are planned. Without the subsidy, wind goes out of business.
Christopher Booker points out the problems in Britain’s Daily Mail. Governmental obsession with wind is an enormous political blunder. Under an agreement with the European Union, Britain is committed within ten years — at enormous expense — to generate nearly a third of its electricity from renewable sources. He lists 3 major reasons why it is a gigantic fraud:
- Promoters speak entirely about “capacity” which means the energy a turbine could produce if all conditions were perfect all the time. Doesn’t happen. Wind is, by its very nature, intermittent, and requires backup from a conventional power plant whenever the wind is not blowing. The expense of putting up wind farms…

14,000 Abandoned Wind Turbines Litter the United States

James Lovelock, the Godfather of Geenism and creator of the ‘Gaia theory’ foretold the windmill disaster that will only escalate as millions more inevitably fail, laid rest to rot…
“We need to take care that the spinning windmills do not become like the statues on Easter Island, monuments of a failed civilisation.”

The towering symbols of a fading religion, over 14,000 wind turbines, abandoned, rusting, slowly decaying. When it is time to clean up after a failed idea, no green environmentalists are to be found. Wind was free, natural, harnessing Earth’s bounty for the benefit of all mankind, sounded like a good idea. Wind turbines, like solar panels, break down. They produce less energy before they break down than the energy it took to make them. The wind does not blow all the time, or even most of the time. When it is not blowing, they require full-time backup from conventional power plants.
Without government subsidy, they are unaffordable. With governments facing financial troubles, the subsidies are unaffordable. It was a nice dream, a very expensive dream, but it didn’t work.
California had the “big three” of wind farm locations — Altamont Pass, Tehachapi, and San Gorgonio, considered the world’s best wind…

South Australia: Proving Wind Power a Recipe for Social & Economic Disaster
Posted: May 29, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentWhen the wind don’t blow, South Australia don’t glow.
However, if the visual of a windmill relieves those of their climate sins, then they are worth every cent. That is until they run out of them…in the dark.

The image above is taken from the Collins Picture Dictionary under the definition of ‘chaos‘: complete confusion and disorder : a state in which behavior and events are not controlled by anything.
To be fair, South Australia’s power supply is ‘controlled’ …… ‘controlled’ by the vagaries of the weather, that is.
Renewables alone a recipe for blackouts
Australian Financial Review

Australia faces potential blackouts and poor jobs and environmental outcomes if it relies solely on the Renewable Energy Target, a new report says.
South Australia’s energy security problems show the risks for the nation of promoting wind and solar energy in a surplus electricity market without a firm plan for an orderly phase-out of coal-fired stations, it says.
The report is a challenge to federal Labor, which has an aggressive 50 per cent Renewable Energy Target (RET) for 2030 with an undefined carbon…

2015 Updated NOAA Tide Gauge Data Shows No Coastal Sea Level Rise Acceleration
Posted: May 29, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentDespite record CO2 (plant food) emissions over the past 50 years of (evil) industrialisation, “None of these updated NOAA tide gauge measurement data records show coastal location sea level rise acceleration occurring anywhere on the U.S. coasts or Pacific or Atlantic island groups.”
What the? CO2? But?
Guest essay by Larry Hamblin
NOAA has updated its extensive U.S. coastal tide gauge data measurement records (http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_us.htm) to include data through year 2015. These measurements include tide gauge data coastal locations for 25 West Coast, Gulf Coast and East Coast states along the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. In addition 7 Pacific island groups and 6 Atlantic island groups also have coastal location tide gauge data measurements updated as well.
In all more than 200 coastal locations are included in these measurements with more than 100 of these coastal locations with recorded data periods in excess of 50 years in duration. None of these updated NOAA tide gauge measurement data records show coastal location sea level rise acceleration occurring anywhere on the U.S. coasts or Pacific or Atlantic island groups.
In June of 1988 testimony was provided before Congress by various scientists, including NASA’s…

The Guardian have dredged up a US meteorologist, Paul Douglas, to come up with a list of “extreme” weather events, which he then uses to claim that climate change is making worse.
Whatever happened to normal weather? Earth has always experienced epic storms, debilitating drought, and biblical floods. But lately it seems the treadmill of disruptive weather has been set to fast-forward. God’s grandiose Symphony of the Seasons, the natural ebb and flow of the atmosphere, is playing out of tune, sounding more like a talent-free second grade orchestra, with shrill horns, violins screeching off-key, cymbal crashes coming in at the wrong time. Something has changed.
Let’s start by looking at some of his claims:
A warmer atmosphere is increasing water vapor levels overhead, juicing storms, fueling an increase in flash floods in the summer, and heavier winter snows along the East Coast of the USA…
