Climate change ‘scientists’ are just another pressure group

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Another compelling commonsense “climate-change” article from ‘The Telegraph’, By .  One of the important revelations here is the blatant departures from scientific and ethical principles used in concocting the latest released IPCC report.

Bold emphasis is my idea of highlighting the more potent arguments. Difficult, actually, to not highlight it all. It is damning evidence, impossible to refute, and needs to be read by the whole world.

The IPCC and its reports have been shaped by a close-knit group of scientists, all dedicated to the cause

Global temperatures have not risen in line with the IPCC’s predictions in recent years Global temperatures have not risen in line with the IPCC’s predictions in recent years

Last weekend, something very odd happened. On Friday we were told that in Stockholm the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC) had published a report saying that it was now “extremely likely” that the world faces disastrous man-made climate change. But this was merely a “summary” for politicians and the media of a scientific report that was not published until three days later.

We then learnt that this “Summary for Policymakers” had been argued over for days and sleepless nights by hundreds of politicians, officials and scientists, but, weirdly, that the scientific report it supposedly summarised had subsequently been amended to bring it into line with the summary. One obvious change from previous drafts was the marked downplaying of any reference to how, in recent years, global temperatures have so notably failed to rise as the IPCC’s computer models predicted.

James Dellingpole “The climate alarmists have lost the debate:”

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

This ‘The Telegraph” article says it all quite well.

Warming, heart-warming that is, to see this in the press.

The story so far: with the release of its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has proved beyond reasonable doubt that it cannot be taken seriously.

Here are a few reasons why: IPCC lead author Dr Richard Lindzen has accused it of having “sunk to a level of hilarious incoherence.” Nigel Lawson has called it “not science but mumbo jumbo”. The Global Warming Policy Foundation’s Dr David Whitehouse has described the IPCC’s panel as “evasive and inaccurate” in the way it tried dodge the key issue of the 15-year (at least) pause in global warming; Donna Laframboise notes that is either riddled with errors or horribly politically manipulated – or both; Paul Matthews has found a very silly graph; Steve McIntyre has exposed how the IPCC appears deliberately to have tried to obfuscate the unhelpful discrepancy between its models and the real world data; and at Bishop Hill the excellent Katabasis has unearthed another gem: that, in jarring contrast to the alarmist message being put out at IPCC press conferences and in the Summary For Policymakers, the body of the report tells a different story – that almost all the scary scenarios we’ve been warned about this last two decades (from permafrost melt to ice sheet collapse) are now been graded by scientists somewhere between “low confidence” to “exceptionally unlikely;” and this latest from the Mighty Booker.

And there’s plenty more where that came from.

Now, of course, I fully appreciate how the climate alarmists are going to respond to these criticisms: same way they always do – with a barrage of lies, ad homs, cover-ups, rank-closings, blustering threats, straw men, and delusion-bubble conferences like the one they’ve just staged at the Royal Society in which one warmist pseudo-scientist after another mounts the podium to reassure his amen corner that everything’s going just fine and that those evil denialists couldn’t be more wrong.

Well, if that’s how they want to play it – fighting to the bitter end for their lost cause like Werewolves in Northern Europe in ’45 or those fanatical Japanese hold outs on remote Pacific islands – I guess that’s their problem.

Activity at Yellowstone’s supervolcano is ramping-up

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Activity at Yellowstone’s supervolcano is ramping-up, causing some in-the-know to prepare for what could soon make two-thirds of the United States uninhabitable.

This ‘Intellihub’ article is really scary, not in any way authenticated by anyone, but worth reporting here as another example of the lack of important and truthful information being withheld from the public.

The outcome is, of course, not known, the degree of danger is only being speculated as serious. That there is no sign of any information in the mainstream media, is the criticism that this article presents and is the reason for it appearing here.

So far, mainline scientists and press have kept the cause of the
activity tight-lipped, but one thing is for sure, something is
definitely going on underground in the region. In fact it has been documented that the ground in and around Yellowstone has risen over 3 inches per year lately, which is scary data to receive for modern researchers.

Climate Science that will not Spin Genuine Scientists in their Graves.

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

From ‘NIPCC’ :

Read Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science for free online by using the following links:

Chapter 1. Global Climate Models
Chapter 2. Forcings and Feedbacks
Chapter 3. Solar Forcing of Climate
Chapter 4. Observations: Temperature
Chapter 5. Observations: The Cryosphere
Chapter 6. Observations: The Hydrosphere
Chapter 7. Observations: Extreme Weather

The Summary for Policymakers was written in collaboration with the lead authors and approved by them. Because it is aimed at a larger popular audience than the book, it adds a discussion of the scientific method and the precautionary principle, a brief summary and critical analysis of each of the IPCC’s main lines of argument, and a brief set of recommendations for policymakers. We also recommend you review the separate Executive Summary.

CCR II: Physical Science is an independent, comprehensive, and authoritative report on the current state of climate science. It is the fourth in a series of scholarly reports produced by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), an international network of climate scientists sponsored by three nonprofit organizations: the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, and The Heartland Institute.

Whereas the reports of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of a dangerous human effect on climate, NIPCC concludes the human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs.

CCR-II consists of three parts: a Summary for Policy Makers (SPM), part one titled Physical Science, and part two titled Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerabilities. The SPM and part one was released on September 17-18, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois USA. Additional release events will take place the following week in the U.S. in Washington, DC, New York, Florida, and the following week in England, Germany, and Holland. See the calendar feature in the right sidebar of this site for more event information.

Believe what you will but the evidence supports this science.

On the other side of the coin, the evidence is strong that the science is invalidated and the agenda bias is strong.

Be careful in what you believe. I suppose in the long run it doesn’t matter much what you and I believe, but it matters that megadollars are wasted and that countries are subjected to outside controls and social destruction. This matters to me.

IPCC: Fixing the Facts

Posted on October 2, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

If a practical exercise at school, it would be called cheating.
In a responsible, honest science environment, it would be called surprising dishonesty.
In the warmist, agenda-driven, political fraternity it is still deemed to be settled science, peer -reviewed and meaningful.

The “Emperor” is now devoid of clothing, as is the IPCC statement of global warming due to CO2 increases, devoid of any credibility.

The rest of the world that accepts this IPCC garbage should be ashamed of their own gullibility, or collusion, whichever applies.

Climate Audit

Figure 1.4 of the Second Order Draft clearly showed the discrepancy between models and observations, though IPCC’s covering text reported otherwise. I discussed this in a post leading up to the IPCC Report, citing Ross McKitrick’s article in National Post and Reiner Grundmann’s post at Klimazweiberl. Needless to say, this diagram did not survive. Instead, IPCC replaced the damning (but accurate) diagram with a new diagram in which the inconsistency has been disappeared.

The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

The title is selective, but highlights the seriousness of the situation and the inadequacy of the Japanese to deal with it. Now that the situation is so bad, it may be too late for any actions to be significantly effective.

The situation is clearly catastrophic, and something needs to be done!

Something should have been done right from the start. With hindsight, something should have been done at the inception of this and other nuclear power plants. Truly fail-safe design and engineering. Certainly, being practical, nothing can be truly fail-safe, but safety has been compromised by human weaknesses and profit motives.

Unfortunately, the Fukushima disaster will be seen to be the pinnacle of mankind’s follies.

COTO Report

By Dr Mae Wan Ho
Institute of Science in Society

Massive leakages of heavily contaminated water, crumbling structures, and spent fuels that if exposed to air could release 85 times as much lethal caesium as was released at Chernobyl are obvious reasons why urgent help is needed from the world’s top experts.

Two households, full time job, bi-coastal, and more

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

A strange, in a way, addition to my blog. It requires some explanation – why choose it and what is achieved? My reasons are basically personal and I expect few readers will gain much insight from reading it through.

However, it does reflect closely my philosophy on life and civilization.
It supports my views, in general, it helps my confidence in what I believe. EM Smith stands out as an independent and very competent thinker.

His blog was my first reader experience of the type of intelligence (both senses of the word), available on the internet.
Mike was kind enough to accept my contributions to his topics and offered much wisdom.
We didn’t always agree, I am a little more adventurous in my thinking and often place reliance on gut-feeling. Room for error, but I rarely go out on a limb without considerable compelling evidence from somewhere.

Given the confidence to start my own blog, I am satisfied with the progress but feel the need to show gratitude where it is clearly due.

So readers may not want to follow this through, but Mike’s wisdom is outstanding and provides a basis for anybody to get a grasp on reality, if that is their desire.

Musings from the Chiefio

Sigh.

Despite my best intent, and a few dozen pages of notes on a dozen topics, I’ve not kept up with postings. What can I say. I’m maintaining 2 households, have a full time job, need to do all my own cooking, cleaning, washing, have a “bi-coastal” lifestyle as we figure out who is traveling to which coast ( I’m now a Floridian, so think the spouse needs to just come here 😉 and more.

Something has had to give, and it’s been a collection of things. First off, reading. I’ve not been able to keep up on things. A half dozen books sit unopened 3 months after buying them. WUWT has been visited as much as I can visit anything, and every time there is a backlog of postings that I haven’t read. More than I CAN read. Sigh. (again)…

A day in the life:

I get up, turn…

5 Lies Invented to Spin UN Report on Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Another important post from ‘nsnbc’ to balance the absurd rhetoric that flows from the Western leaders and is readily passed on to the public by the press, creating absolutely the incorrect impressions and intentions of the involved parties.

Another case of fabrication as was in the Iraqi “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, the story of which is now referred to as “Weapons of Mass Deception”.

Tony Cartalucci (LD) , –  As predicted days before the UN’s Syrian chemical weapons report was made public, the West has begun spinning the findings to bolster their faltering narrative regarding alleged chemical weapon attacks on August 21, 2013 in eastern Damascus, Syria. The goal of course, is to continue demonizing the Syrian government while simultaneously sabotaging a recent Syrian-Russian deal to have Syria’s chemical weapon stockpiles verified and disarmed by independent observers.

A barrage of suspiciously worded headlines attempt to link in the mind of unobservant readers the UN’s “confirmation” of chemical weapons use in Syria and Western claims that it was the Syrian government who used them. Additionally, the US, British, and French governments have quickly assembled a list of fabrications designed to spin the UN report to bolster their still-unsubstantiated accusations against the Syrian government.

Image: 107mm rocket shells frequently used by terrorists operating within and along Syria's borders. They are similar in configuration and function to those identified by the UN at sites investigated after the alleged August 21, 2013 Damascus, Syria chemical weapons attack, only smaller.

Image: 107mm rocket shells frequently used by terrorists operating within and along Syria’s borders. They are similar in configuration and function to those identified by the UN at sites investigated after the alleged August 21, 2013 Damascus, Syria chemical weapons attack, only smaller.

The BBC’s article, “US and UK insist UN chemicals report ‘blames Syria’,” again states unequivocally, [emphasis added]:

The UN report did not attribute blame for the attack, as that was not part of its remit.

However, that did not stop UK Foreign Secretary William Hague who claimed:  “From the wealth of technical detail in the report – including on the scale of the attack, the consistency of sample test results from separate laboratories, witness statements, and information on the munitions used and their trajectories – it is abundantly clear that the Syrian regime is the only party that could have been responsible.”

And US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power who stated:  “The technical details of the UN report make clear that only the regime could have carried out this large-scale chemical weapons attack.”

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is also quoted as saying:   “When you look at the findings carefully, the quantities of toxic gas used, the complexity of the mixes, the nature, and the trajectory of the carriers, it leaves absolutely no doubt as to the origin of the attack.”

The Washington Post went one step further, and perhaps foolishly, laid out a detailed explanation of each fabrication the West is using to spin the latest UN report. In an article titled, “The U.N. chemical weapons report is pretty damning for Assad,” 5 points are made and explained as to why the UN report “points” to the Syrian government.

The Dark Side of Gardasil

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

I am moved to return to the vaccine debate after giving it a bit of rest. There are previous posts here on this very topic but nothing as moving as this article from  SaneVax, Inc., by Ashley Adair, a serious sufferer of Gardasil side-effects.

Reading the associated comments is recommended because there the debate rages about, “one example, what about the saved traumas?” and includes a lot about “there are many examples”, “it is not necessary”, etc.

It doesn’t touch on my own suspicions of there being an agenda to mass inoculate with the ulterior motive to reduce fertility rates, but that is another story, not substantiated, just a suspicion as I said.

By Ashley Adair

Ashley lives Gardasil's dark side

Ashley lives on Gardasil’s dark side

My name is Ashley Adair. I live in Georgia. I have suffered for five years from the side effects of something I thought would help me. I received the Gardasil vaccine because the people and doctors all around me kept telling me “OH! This vaccine is the best thing to happen to the medical industry!” Of course my mom and I fell for it like many others. I want to let people know about the dark side of this vaccine.

Before the HPV Vaccine, I was the most energetic child. I went to school for 8 hours, then went to 3 hours of gymnastics practice, finishing with homework at night. My weekends were filled with gymnastics meets. After gymnastics I went straight into competition cheerleading, which were the same hours. I basically lived in the gym and loved every second of it, I was blessed. Overall I was a healthy child.

I received my first injection in April, 2008. My injection did hurt more than a normal injection. I had mild soreness and redness after. At the time I didn’t realize the symptoms I was having. I had slight fatigue, and I would occasionally have a very sore throat. I couldn’t stick my tongue out and I just threw it off as an allergic reaction to chlorine because I was swimming a lot.

The nightmare began on June, 2008. I received the second shot and I noticed it hurt a bit more than the first. I almost cried a bit which is very much unlike me. I got a little lightheaded at the checkout line. After 30 minutes I was fine.

The very next night I told my mom I was very sick. I was crying in pain with my pelvic and legs absolutely killing me. I was running a fever and I was very nauseous. So like a parent would, she took me to the emergency room. Of course, doctors only listen to one symptom and told me I had a stomach virus that they couldn’t do anything and sent me home.

The next day I was so exhausted and slept till about 3 o’clock. My mom came home from work and I went outside and noticed I had some kind of rash all over my body. It looked like someone took a fine point purple permanent marker and dotted it all over me. My mom immediately took me to my regular pediatrician and he could not figure out what was on me. He ran a lot of blood work on me and we went home until we could receive the blood work news. My mom received a phone call around 9 O’clock. One of the scariest phone calls she has ever received.

My doctor told her I needed to get back to the ER ASAP. He told her that my blood work was CRITICAL, and the rash on me was called a petechial rash. My red blood cells and white blood cells were completely wiped out. They told me if I were to do a handstand my gums would start bleeding and I would bleed to death. If I caught a common cold my body would not be able to fight it off and I would die. Over the next 6 weeks I went through so many different rashes, EXTREME fatigue, joint pains, leg pains, shoulder pains, dizziness, and low blood pressure.

I finally went to an infectious disease specialist and he told me not to get the third shot or I wouldn’t be here.

Read the complete story here. (Note its following comments).

Also carefully follow up the ‘Related Articles’ below. There are some horrific claims with a great deal of apparent validity. In particular, the admission by one of the vaccine creators.
