Purloined Emails Show Trend

From the purloined emails of ClimateGate come revelations of cracks in the unity of thought of the various AGW (anthropogenic global warming)adherents from various fields of study.

Interesting rifts of concern between members who are attempting to coordinate a response for publication.
It seems some within the scientific community were not entirely convinced of the appropriateness of the findings or the studies truthfulness.

Each of the block quotes taken from the emails will contain a link to the email in question.

Regarding the usefulness of computer modeling to study long-term trends both forward and backward in time.

Nonetheless, the findings should serve as a warning, Barnett says, (email link)that “the current models cannot be used in rigorous tests for anthropogenic signals in the real world”. If they are they “might lead us to believe that an anthropogenic signal had been found when, in fact, that may not be the case.”

Barnett seems to have doubts about using the models being able to pinpoint any variability solely caused by human activity.

The quote below also shows the complicit nature of the New York Times in the methodolgy of how they report what is being “leaked” to them. Despite the warnings regarding the uncertainties of the data, the NYT went with a “We found Proof” lead in their article.

Barnett knows how easily this can happen. He was a lead author for a critical chapter in the last IPCC scientific assessment, which investigated “the detection of climate change and attribution of causes”. It formulated the IPCC case that the evidence points towards a human influence on climate, but it warned repeatedly that great uncertainties remained. “We wrote a long list of caveats in that chapter,” says Barnett. “We got a lot of static from within IPCC, from people who wanted to water down and delete some of those caveats. We had to work very hard to keep them all in.” Even so, when the findings were first leaked to the New York Times, it was under the headline “Scientists finally confirm human role in global warming“.

Variability is more than just year against year, variability appears to be century against century with no discernible human cause to be found, except a few campfires across the planet.

The temperature graphs produced at Tornetrask show “pronounced variability on all timescales, from year-on-year variations right up to century-on-century,” says Briffa. On the longer timescales, for instance, they show 20 major cooling periods during the past two millenia, including long spells between 500 and 850, between 1100 and 1350 and between 1580 and 1750, the little ice age. There were also long warm spells between 900 and 1100, known as the medieval warm period, and 1360 to 1560

.

It would appear that even before the advent of copius amounts of coal burning industrialization there were significant periods of both cooling and warming which are not being fully taken into account by some in the AGW community.

All of the preceding quotes were taken from an email dated Oct 13 1996

From Dewie Whetsell, a fisherman from Alaska.

By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman.

The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in
Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never understood national
politics well until this last year. Here’s the breaking point: Neither
side of the Palin controversy gets it. It’s not about persona, style,
rhetoric, it’s about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention
the things that I’m about to mention here.

1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because
as soon as Palin took the Governor’s office away from a fellow
Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the
Republican’s “Corrupt Bastards Club” (CBC) and sent them packing. Many
of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits
The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and
singing, “la la la la” (well, you know how they are). Name another
governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.

2. Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to
protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and
enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called “ACES.” Exxon
(the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them,
“don’t let the door hit you in the stern on your way out.” They stayed,
and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy
rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell
in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country
that has done anything similar.

3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor’s office is
she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects,
known as “pork.” She went through the list, took 85! % of the m and placed
them in the “when-hell-freezes-over” stack. She let locals know that if
we need something built, we’ll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured
she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor’s jet
because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by
dismissing the governor’s cook (remarking that she could cook for her
own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining
that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security
force (never mentioning – I imagine – that she’s packing heat herself).
I’m still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.

4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed “gosh and golly” mannerism, she
also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural
gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction
project in the history of North America. No one else could do it
although they tried. If that doesn’t impress you, then you’re trying too
hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while
baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.

5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a
place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they
couldn’t start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an
investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. Then,
she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They
protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them
that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.

6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for
electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her
plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We ar! e alread y at 25%.
I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and
persona Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that’s
just a cover-up. I’m still waiting to hear from liberals the names of
other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half
years. I won’t be holding my breath.

By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election
and go to work, but the haters wouldn’t let her. Now these adolescent
screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them
what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without
warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known
better.

You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media,
along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to
discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers,
dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter
ex-presidents’ wives.

So “You go, Girl.” I only wish the men in Washington had your guts,
determination, honesty, and morals.

I rest my case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.

“Attitude starts with a KICK”

H/T to Dean B for this.

Ft Hood victim Randy Royer

I won’t normally cut and paste, it bugs me to do it. But this is worthy for a few reasons and I wanted to share it…so here it is.
Subject: Randy Royer from Dothan, shooting victim in Ft. Hood: A MUST TO OPEN

This is what we expect from them – good ole AMERICAN people. and TEXANS !!!

Naturally… THIS DIDN’T MAKE THE MAIN STREAM NEWS BUT IT SHOULD HAVE!!!!!

A man had a TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she got a text message from her husband saying, “I am okay.”

The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said , “I’m the one who just sent you a text, not your husband.”She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, “I am sorry but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery.”

The wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night.

Miraculously, here is the photo that was taken today in the hospital room. He is awake and will recover. His wife, who lives in Dothan , made it to Ft. Hood about the time he was waking up.

Thought I’d share this great outcome.

Randy Royer & W

At the hospital

You can rail against the policies of W, gripe about the excessive spendaholic ways of W (I did), and you can bitch about the way he handled the War on Jihad (I did that too).

But I just have to note that he has more class and compassion than the current regime of the arugula eating, Kobe beef munching dilettante Man-Child currently sitting in the office of the POTUS.

Iranian Justice Coming To a Country Near You…soon?

Mohammad Ali Abtahi is a former vice-president Muslim Pedophile Worshipper who served under Mohammad Khatami (head pedophile apologist of his era) from 1997 until 2005. The six year sentence for the alleged crimes was handed down on Monday Nov 23 as reported by AlJazeera online.

The charges against Abtahi who is also a senior Iranian cleric include insulting the president (I’ve done that too), propaganda against the regime (again, I;m onboard with that here), plotting against the security of the nation (depends on how Janet Napolitano feels about the right-wingers today) and attending an illegal demonstration.(Oh YEAH!, TEA Party time!!)

This is the most visible face so far, of those tens or hundreds of thousands who attended the demonstrations and of the unknown number of demonstrators who were slain for the crime of demonstrating against what many of the population considered a rigged election. (not sure how long it will take Barry to get up the gumption to start arresting TEA Party’ers and/or just having his ACORN goons shoot us)

Abtahi has 20 days to file an appeal of the sentence and is in the meantime still free on $700,000 bail. The only [url=http://www.inkdrop.net/dave/news.html t=_blank]Iranian English[/url] language newspapers reporting the sentencing appear to be those based outside the country, primarily in London. (Couod be what we need for the USofA, some foreign newspapers with bigger cojones and more honesty than the current crop of Barry Sychophants in the Old Press Media)

One quote from Al Jazeera ascribed to a London based Iranian newspaper editor states the obvious conclusion.

Nazanin Ansari, the editor of Kayhan newspaper, based in London, said: “They are playing a cat-and-mouse game with the opposition … it is not as if Abtahi has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in bail and is free to leave prison, he is not and will not be a free man.”

(Somehow, the Iranian courts and clerics have out-chicagoed Barry on this one. The Iranians got the $700,000 bail and the guy is still going to go to prison and lose his bail bond also. I’m willing to wager Barry will have alegal team in Iran ASAP to figure out how to manage that in this country)

Many in the Western World would also be under the threat of prison terms for some of the crimes which Abtahi was accused of and then sentenced for. If and when the laws are changed to allow the arrest of those who dislike the current D.C. regime and who actually say Barry is a fraud and charlatan plus a likely Moozlum Manchurian Candidate, I will be forced to move to Texas, which I’m hoping will be a separate country by then.

A highly edited version of this was also posted on Digital Journal .com

And don’t forget…

Next, there is a website at We’re Watching You which is targeting ten of the most vulnerable Democrats in the House of Representatives. The cost for combatting the Democrat Morons is ZERO (except for postage stamps) If you’re as interested in losing the Democrasocialist majority in CONgress as I am, hit the link and see if it works for you. If not, thats OK, just remember BOHICA.

Global Warming Hookers

No, not the AlGoracon. Actual hookers are now blaming the not yet realized onset of Global Warming (now Climate Change) for their entry to the seamier side of life in the Philippines.
Lets set aside for a moment the issue of whether or not Global Warming is occurring right now, which it isn’t, but let’s take a look at how the problem is being manipulated by some in the Philippines right now.

First, the reporter from GMA News issues a blanket statement that Global Warming is going to affect women in the Philippines more than anyone else in the country. A rather wide-ranging statement to make, since it covers a lot of territory, from the coastal areas to the mountainous regions.

But the women are going to be affected because they are women and they can’t do the jobs men do. OK, that’s not unreasonable. Could be that most women aren’t suited physiologically to run a 120 lb. jackhammer in downtown Manilla.
From there though it starts going downhill fast.

“Climate change could reduce income from farming and fishing possibly driving some women into sex work and thereby increase HIV infection,” Mukherjee said Suneeta Mukherjee, country representative of the United Nations Food Population Fund (UNFPA),

Then moving directly into the issue of how the Philippines have already exceeded the capacity of the nation to feed itself from the marine environment.
That statement by the way is from former Environment secretary Dr. Angel Alcala, who now heads Angelo King Center for Research and Environmental Management in Siliman University.

The obvious inclination I have to mention in that, is the conflict of interest of having the wolf guarding the sheep and then crying wolf. Not that any “scientist” would fudge a bit of data to secure more funding for more ‘necessary’ studies of whatever they happen to be an expert at studying, but then of course that really is the case isn’t it?

From there, the report goes to the women having to find jobs away from the sea, such as working for affluent families as domestic helpers (and probably cooks or nannies or whatever.)

Well, hello to the real world. Can’t keep on fishing and living a subsistence lifestyle? Dang, it was good for the last few thousand years, but just maybe it’s time to move into something like an era from RECORDED HISTORY!

People the world over have lived subsistence lives on land, at sea or near the sea. Then one day a guy wandered in from the field and found a gazelle trapped in vine laying on the ground and the gazelles two kids hanging out with her.
A Light Bulb (invented a few hundreds of thousands of years later) went off over his head he realized he could eat the gazelle today and be fed for a week or keep the gazelle and the two young ones and maybe never have to go running one of those little critters down for dinner ever again!
OK, now it’s time for the Philippines to join in on this merry adventure we call progress.
That does not mean that the women will need to take up a life of Hookerdom to support the family, it does mean that the government of the Philippines will need to take a look at how it does the business of educating its population though.

It also though, does not mean the Philippine government needs to let the United Nations start playing the victim card to leech finances from the rest of the world to support the process.
Maybe it just happens to be that the women who turn to prostitution are too stupid to do anything except lay down for a living. But that fly’s in the face of reason and logic. Intelligence is not determined by ethnicity, but by genetics and random chance of the mix of genetics.
That would seem to indicate the problem to be one of a cultural response to the place of women in the society. Not a problem connected to the farce of Global Warming/ Climate Change/ Global Cooling.

And so then I wonder if the fault for this insidious assault on an entire culture can or will ever be laid at the feet of the Global Moron who made it such an issue and ‘hot topic’?
Will AlGoracon ever get the recognition for his monomaniacal crusade to inflict the greatest amount of damage possible on the planet as a whole?

And all of this for nothing more than being enriched by promulgating a con game on the planet, instead of being willing to actually work for a living or being capable of using the family fortune from tobacco to do something which might create wealth.

I for one sincerely hope and pray that he gets everything coming to him, I hope he gets all he deserves for the grief, misery, and despair he has foisted off on the public with his goofball theory of Global Warming.

And don’t forget…

Williams & Zabel Video

 

Williams & Zabel ream the Barack Ubama WhiteHouse over Cap and Trade in a video now clarified to include they are not speaking for the EPA.  The same EPA which demanded they shut the hell up and stop making UnAmerican (anti-Ubama) noises regarding Cap and Trade.
 
The issue of these two lawyers having worked for the EPA for twenty years and who know more about Cap and Trade than the folks who wrote the bill seems to be irrelelvant to both the EPA and CONgress.
 
As always, if there was an honest press corps to do the footwork, the real solution to Cap and Trade would be to follow the money trail. Who is going to get the profit (other than AlGoracle) from the Cap and Trade?
 
 

 
I  guess for the EPA and the Ubama WhiteHouse, it must be a real bummer to have a pair of attorneys smarter than the people who run the EPA telling the truth about a profit scheme created to enrich some small elite group no one knows about yet.?
 
And don’t forget…

Hagel the RepubliKrat is Gone

Damn! It’s about time, for sure. Hagel was a RINO of the worst sort.

Not just on the War on Jihad, but in every respect. Immigration, economy, second amendment – name a problem and Hagel would take the wrong side for anyone considered to be a conservative.
