Daniel Patrick Moynihan :-
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.”

This is going to appear to be the biggest ad hom ever. I am still going through with it because this gasbag needs deflating before there is a major accident involving the inflammatory vapors that ooze from his vicinity.

Due to belch more fiery green evangelical flatulence on “60 Minutes” this coming Saturday Albert Arnold Gore Jr, you know the guy – got Ds in science at college, dropped a “gimme” on becoming POTUS, has already earned over $100,000,000 with chicken little fear-mongering of Leviathan proportions about humans warming the planet somehow, has the Dynamite Prize for Peace 2007 (albeit shared with the politicians, and political servants, of the UN IPCC) and an Oscar for his sci-fi horror movie, “An Inconvenient Cold Period” has laid out his agenda using some choice words in the run up. I thought it would be amusing, or at least diverting, to revisit some of his more shall we say, fragrant, musings.

Let us pay, oh bored.

“I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” This has been the subject of much snorting and grunting. It is, however, exactly what he uttered. Al created the very medium that delivers this very message. Phew. Thanks Al. Lots of people have mis-spoken (rofl) about this statement juxtaposing “invented” for “created” but what the hey? It’s only one word.

“There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law.” seems to me like there is no limit, controlled or otherwise, to what Al will do for a dollar or how “economical with the truth” he is prepared to be to get some more – from anywhere. There being .3 of a billion available for “advertising” the “facts” of global warming may have something to do with the media scrambling after him in the face of the severe cold weather a lot of us have been suffering recently. Gotta love the facts. I was always taught that I would never see a sugar advert as they weren’t needed. I have still never seen an advert for sugar.

“I spent most of my time in the field” This would give the impression that he wasn’t cosseted from the start to the finish of his “tour” in “‘nam”. His guards and guides are on record as saying such eloquent things as “…we went into the field after the fact and that limited his exposure to any hazards.” (H. Alan Leo, photographer) and “It was the equivalent of being a school crossing guard. I know guys that didn’t even take their rifles with them.” (Michael O’Hara, close army buddy)

“I looked around the country for other sites like that. I found a little place in upstate New York called Love Canal.” Sure about that Al? Seems a little smelly to me. Again there is a lot of hot air blown out of both ends about this one – but it is what he said. Verbatim.

So forgive me for being underwhelmed when this Titan of truth mouths such quasi-scientific sound bites as:

“I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view…” I presume here that he means the many scientists (I wont go into the who and where as we are all adults, I hope, capable of investigation on our own and reaching conclusions based on our findings – oh darn) who vehemently oppose his views. The ones he ignores as well as attacks yet provides no platform for debate.

“…the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona…” and there was me thinking it was Nevada. I will just use your internets to check….. don’t wait up.

“…and those who believe the world is flat…” as opposed to those that believe the Sun has no influence on climate or weather or night or day or winter or summer? Al? Al? Oh sorry, I forgot you don’t take questions. So much for debate and settled science then. Little wonder that you have been described as having “a penchant for hyperbole”.

I have never written a piece containing so many euphemisms for the words lie, lies and lying.

I would rather put my faith in an AlGorithm and we know they can only predict the past.

George Orwell :-
“What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?”

Earth is more than capable of sustaining 12 billion humans, but only caring, sharing, responsible ones. Not greedy, uncaring rapists who think the world revolves around them and that they need two large portions of everything every hour of every day.

The stuff of life is attacked and the agents of death are promoted in this present darkness. CO2 and warmth = bad. Cellphones and their associated junk, fabric conditioners, air fresheners, shampoo, lipstick, face creams, cold = good. Tax our very lifeblood but let the poisons run freely. This is the agenda. The UN is being used to corral the herd and prepare it for slavery. The Bilderbergers, Carlisle Group, Rothschilds/Rockefellers/bankers, Club of Rome, Fabians/Tavistock NWO (there I have said it) do not care for anyone having fun while they work hard and diligently at mass control. Nothing pisses off the rich more than poor people smiling, laughing and being happy. They tolerate us while we build their pyramids but as soon as they have machines that can make machines and have codified DNA and mastered medicine, by their continuous experimentation with the plebiscite, they will cull us. Preparations are already underway. They do not wish to “cure” or “change” anything.

Don’t believe me or consider me a ranting paranoiac, fine, but consider just this one of many grand ironies:

We have had the lungs of the world ripped out to gain the privilege of reading propaganda, downright lies and advertising for more of the same on paper made from trees, yet the people who brought you the first “newspapers” fought, successfully, to destroy a plant that produces vastly superior paper far more cheaply and easily than killing trees ever could and at 4x the amount per acre (over 20 years) using zero dioxins and it can be recycled 2.5x more than wood-pulp derivatives. This plant produces more biomass per acre than any other almost anywhere on the planet with zero maintenance and no fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides. Just plant it and sit back.

Its wonderfully wholesome seeds have an oil content of 34% (more than any other seed) and, after that oil is extracted, to make fuel (at a mind boggling 95% ratio) or foodstuffs, the remaining cake is only beaten by the perilous soy bean in protein content. It provides the world’s strongest natural fiber that when made into fabric, lasts the longest of all the soft fibers, is warmer than cotton, more absorbent and produces over 3x as much per acre.

It is massively efficient as a rotated crop, with corn and legumes for instance. It has a 3 to 4 month growing season even at altitude or in high latitudes. When dried in the field it returns over 50% of the nutrients it took from the soil during growth and this, coupled with the deep nutrients it draws upon with its root system and then sheds in its leaves, makes it easier on the soil and of more benefit to subsequent crops than any other.

Makes one wonder what else this plant is capable of that strikes so much fear into the black hearts of the chemical company owners et al that they continue to suppress it and any investigation into it.

Oh yeah, for those of you who believe we should limit our production of plant food (CO2), this marvel of nature can sequester over 20 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare per crop and if its mass, after extracting all the good stuff, is then made into its own extremely viable version of concrete you have the perfect double whammy – carbon sequestering par excellence and carbon reduction through concrete reduction. But that is the last thing that is going to happen because of point one above.
If you haven’t guessed, or don’t know of it. The plant is hemp. (cannabis does slightly better at most of the above but let’s not rock more than one boat at a time ‘eh.)

“War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.”

Friedrich Nietzsche :-
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you”

Bio-fuel (bio fuels or biofuel) may yet do the opposite of that which it is deemed to do. It will neither prevent the price of fossil fuels from rising or reduce emmissions. It could be vastly worse than sticking with coal, gas, diesel or petroleum distillates.

The UK Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation. Announced in 2005, the RTFO is the result of a European directive requiring British fuel suppliers to ensure that 5.75% of vehicle fuels are derived from renewables before the year 2010. Primarily this will start to be achieved in the UK by adding 2.5% biofuel to all petrol and diesel at the pumps from April 2008.

Professor Robert Watson, chief scientific adviser to the United Kingdom’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, questions the environmental sustainability of biofuels. “I think it is now indeed clear that while some sources of biofuels do appear to be potentially sustainable from an environmental point of view, others certainly are not”. He calls for a moratorium on the issue. I call for everyone to wake up. Using arable land to make fuel is as nuts as claiming that plant food is polluting our air and raising global temperatures. We have untold billions of barrels of crude oil in known reserves. OK so some of it will cost more than some portions to extract or refine. So what? The price of a barrel is already 10 times what it was 9 years ago. This just makes a lot of the reserves economically viable. Now.

As there are no pipelines for the delivery and dispersion of bio-fuel, made from what was previously food and raised usually in rural locations, their transportation causes environmental problems. Their use ensures a loss of land for crops, increased deforestation and damage to the biosphere. This will lead to price rises and even famine.

This is madness in so many ways. CO2 has no increased effect on climate above the 20ppmv level. Oil is neither fossil based or running out anytime soon. We have centuries worth of coal even if consumption increases continuously. Don’t even get me started on how large the Earth’s supply of oil shale and sands are.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) :-
“…when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

Is it at all improbable that a combination of circumstance can produce climate, volcanic eruptions, solar events and earthquakes? Is it impossible that the relative positions of the planets produce these phenomena? Could scientists set aside their obvious dislike of anything smelling of astrology (there, I have said it) and actually study these possibilities? You have the resources in both time (your own or your students’) and equipment far superior to that which is available to us. The clues are all around. You are paid to investigate, if not driven to do so. This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.

The Sun is a lens. It focuses the tidal and gravitic effects of the planets, (yes all of them, contrary to current belief) the barycentric effects of the system as a whole, the eccentricities of the orbits, not only of one cycle but also the precessional differences that change as the solar system presents itself in an altered state to the galactic plane and also as we pass through the arms of the Milky Way. What about Muller and Rohde’s study to show a 62 ± 3 million-year cycle in the fossil record echoes the Mayan temporal system and this by Mikhail Medvedev and Adrian Melott? Earth’s magnetic field has a 100,000-year periodicity in inclination and intensity with which the climate dances. Are these clues or blind alleys? Do the other planets have similar eccentricities that could affect Sol? There may also be an (albeit subtle) electrical causation. The permutations are manifold but not beyond human ingenuity to decipher I would hazard to guess.

The Sun passes these influences on to us by way of sunspots, coronal mass ejections and flares and the ejected material, coronal holes and the solar wind, magnetism and plages and faculae, gravity and tides, precession, the full electromagnetic spectrum including IR, UV, radio, electricity, x-ray and gamma emissions, and plasma bubbles and last but not least the Interplanetary Magnetic Field. It does so over short, long and very long time scales. Are we missing something simple? Something profound? If so then paleontology, paleoclimatology, astronomy, astrophysics, climatology, seismology, heliology and maybe even helioseismology will benefit from any discoveries made. Well worth the effort even if only to eliminate lines of inquiry from further, or future, investigation.

In all humility these are the questions we should be asking. Not whether we can afford to turn grain into fuel or plant food into a new type of currency. To my mind “far out” questions trump decisions based upon false conclusions every time. Get your magnifying glasses out. Myopia, in this instance, kills.

Paul Valery :-
“The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.”

Enough already. People are going to get hurt.

One could quote the figures, and the pollution created, for maize as biofuel. People may soon starve because pen-pushers have persuaded politicians and farmers that food should be turned into fuel on the twin pretexts that oil is bad and running out. Pushing for legislation, or practice, to send the industrialized nations in completely the wrong direction is what is immoral. For example, if anything could warm the world we would be very grateful soon as we are entering a cold phase of the natural, cyclical system called climate and cold kills many more people than the supposed “heat” we have been “suffering” from during the recent benign period of “global warming” yet we are told we must curb progress, industry and wealth creation so we may make it even colder.

Earlier this year SCIENCE published “Use of U.S. Croplands for Biofuels Increases Greenhouse Gases Through Emissions from Land Use Change”, which found that using any current biofuel was far worse for the environment than using petroleum and adds to global warming. Biofuel production is depleting our food supply, causing topsoil erosion and water shortages, and accelerating desertification of the planet. The only biofuels that hold promise are those made from algae or garbage. Unfortunately, those two technologies are still experimental and unproven.

“….biofuel production has amplified an expected moderate food price rise by shrinking food supplies, thus turning a manageable cost problem into a global humanitarian disaster.”

Their gigantic lie must be exposed before any more damage is caused.

George Bernard Shaw :-
“When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.”

Bet you didn’t see that one coming. Tarry a moment though and you will see what I mean.

There has been so much effort put into the current “humans caused warming” and “SUV warms planet” and “coal and oil are bad, mkay” that, when the scales are lifted from Mr and Mrs average citizen’s eyes, there will occur nothing less than a shift of power. The main stream media will be dealt it’s long awaited and most deserved death blow. People will remember this vicious scam for a long time. A paradigm shift will happen and alternative media will be the big winner. Never again will the general public blindly follow the dictates of supposed authority. This is a good thing.

The truth always emerges. When it becomes obvious that there were very few instigators of this assault on modern man then mankind, as a whole, will see through the veil of AGW to the Malthusian agenda that these few fascists were really aiming for. When, thankfully now and not in another cycle’s time, the Earth cools and it becomes obvious to all of us that we rely on the Sun for our climate / weather people will ask questions. Questions that can only be answered with revelations.

The hysterical, vociferous, unrelenting, counter-intuitive fear mongering to which we are currently subject will be held up as the perfect example of attempted control through the use of repeated lies and propaganda. In future all citizens will become harder to fool with fake scientific proclamations. The talking head propaganda machine will be exposed for the meat grinder that it is. The uncovering of the vast effort that has been so obviously employed in this case will lead to the awareness that we are continually bombarded by lies and that the truth is very often the opposite of what we are force fed by the real enemies of freedom, the press, television and radio.

The “scientists” who claim that any person, and by inference their interviews, documents and websites, who stands up to the wall of noise or exposes some aspect of this attack on humanity is, or was, in the employ of big oil/coal/tobacco therefore anything they utter becomes instantly invalidated as a result of their prior connections or employers will be exposed as unthinking drones or manipulative scoundrels. They are so bereft of inner vision, instinct and integrity that they cannot see how strange and biased they appear to the rest of us. They revere science and “peer review” as their God but the Sun has come to rescue us from their “old boys network”and we should be eternally thankful.

Rarely will we link out to others but here are two important ones:

Green Agenda and Maurice Strong

Frank Lloyd Wright :-
The truth is more important than the facts.

I have a few hypothetical questions for alarmists. Hypothetical in so far as they may as well be un-uttered as no satisfying answers will be forthcoming from the quarter they are aimed at. In open forum these inquiries will either be shouted down or, as in private, skipped over as quickly as a hot manhole cover. In neither locale will their true nature or their intrinsic value be addressed. Purely for the sake of being able to look my children in the eye when they inquire of me, down the road, “did you pose the right questions dad?” I ask:

You do realize how bizarre it appears to outsiders when your focus regarding every person with whom you disagree is that they are, or have been, in the employ of the tobacco, oil, coal, or mobile phone companies etc. Anyone who has ever pocketed a shilling from a multi-national is magically and instantly rendered incapable of insightful commentary or reasoned deduction from here on in. Their prior associations preclude them from even inquisitive analysis of, let alone any deductive investigation into, further subjects and the publication or dissemination of either, for all eternity. That seems fair.

Your insistence that particular scientists, or non-scientists for that matter, are unqualified to pass judgement on climate, and indeed climatology and climatologists, and the supporters of the fairytale that mankind has more influence over it than the Sun is very close minded isn’t it? I would suggest that this shows you in a bad light. Sorry, I forget that most members of the “consensus” on the “settled science” of AGW are non-climate-scientists. This attitude precludes anyone from espousing their views, insights on and understanding of disciplines other than their own. That’s equitable, not to mention magnanimous, of you.

Do you have zero intuition? A vital part of being human is listening to our instincts. Ignore them at your peril.

Do you believe humans deserve the draconian measures being taken against them and their children and their children? Is your agenda Malthusian in everything but name? Being here now does not give you, or anyone, the right to rule on what future generations may. or may not do. You make no allowances for progress and the basic inventiveness of humans and certainly have zero faith in our ability to cure problems.

Have religion and science swapped hats? The rabid hysterical bile unleashed on anyone bold enough to stand up to the fanatics who claim there is a warming and we are guilty of it should answer this particular question.

You are joking aren’t you? C’mon, come clean. Actually you’re a denialist aren’t you. You do in fact believe that the alarmist warmers are the ones totally bereft of scientific prowess, common sense or intuition. Your training is working oh master. Grasshopper is beginning to see the light. Oceana has always been at war with Erasia.

Niels Bohr :-
“The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”

Peer review is very badly flawed. Peer review is only as good as the peers it uses as referees. If nearly everyone who reviews for an entity is in the thrall of the same mistake then they will not find it in papers they review, and the entity, and its papers, will propagate it.

“Peer review is an inherently conservative process, that encourages the emergence of self-serving cliques of reviewers, who are more likely to review each others’ grant proposals and publications favourably than those submitted by researchers from outside the group.”

“The problem with peer review is that we have good evidence on its deficiencies and poor evidence on its benefits. We know that it is expensive, slow, prone to bias, open to abuse, possibly anti-innovatory, and unable to detect fraud. We also know that the published papers that emerge from the process are often grossly deficient.”

“In the June 12, 1996 Wall Street Journal, Dr. Fred Seitz stated, “In my more than 60 years as a member of the American scientific community, including service as president of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society, I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report”. Yet in the eyes of the media, Hollywood, and the alarmists, the IPCC gets an unexamined free pass.”Peer review must die like the old boys network that it is. It is a closed loop.

Dr. Joanne Simpson :-
“We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system. We only need to watch the weather forecasts.”

Plant respiration and photosynthesis is a refrigeration process and causes overall cooling. The single experimentally proven result of an increase in CO2 levels is increased plant growth – both in speed and size. The current 383ppvm CO2 is considered to be “dangerously low for plants on earth” and the world would be a more lush one if we could somehow get levels up to three times that(1200-1500 ppmv would be wonderful) The greatest gift the developed nations can give to the third world is free fertilizer in the form of higher CO2 levels.

The UN IPCC and all those scientists and politicians who claim to support the “computer models” is in the business of creating a new world currency, and policy, that they alone control. They use this power to prevent third world countries from ever becoming developed, they will tax the living daylights out of anyone who can afford it – and most of them won’t even notice and they definitely won’t stop using airplanes and SUVs – and leave unchecked India and China who are now the largest producers of plant food, sorry CO2 that vital ingredient for life on Earth NOT a pollutant.

As with so much in this brave new world black has become white and CO2 will be blamed for the coming cold century yet carbon is the most miraculous of elements and it being put in such a bad light should show us all which way  the wind blows. There is an insidious dark agenda at play and when the proof arrives, in the form of a solar cycle that freezes all our assets, that agenda will be revealed for all to see. The Sun is coming to our rescue but, unfortunately, those of us living north of the tropics will feel it’s bite. I only hope that those people who have been suckered by this veil of lies will put their righteous fury, upon realizing the truth, into a campaign to expose the inherent inequity of “peer review” and “consensus” and hold the IPCC and Al Gore accountable for the, already, massive damage they have done to economies and lives. It would be nice if Al gave his Nobel and Oscar back – along with using the 100,000,000 dollars he has “accumulated” in the last 8 (eight) years to undo some of the harm. He could dissolve the carbon credit companies he co-owns with the bankers also.
Hey if they can try to give me nightmares I can dream can’t I?

Edith Sitwell :-
“The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.”

Rene Descartes :- If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

CO2 is a vital component of our atmosphere as all life depends on the carbon cycle and plant food should not be taxed. CO2 should be increased if anything – upward from the 380ppmv of today (considered a dangerously low level) to at least 1500ppmv so that plant life will accelerate its growth and increase in size. This is the greatest gift the developed countries can give to the third world – Free fertilizer! Punishing humanity for producing CO2 is a moral, fiscal and unpardonable attack on progress and advancement of the human condition. Al Gore has made over 100 million dollars in the last 8 years, gained an Oscar for his rockumentary cartoon, been given the Nobel Peace Prize for (to be polite) proclaiming a false premise AND he has partnered with bankers to form the main carbon credit trading companies. This has to stop. The spite and scorn poured on anyone who dares deny the warmer’s mantra must stop. The science is far from settled. El Bore should immediately return his trophies and spend his new found fortune undoing the inestimable harm that has already been triggered as a result of his pompous posturing. The IPCC should immediately stop spending taxpayer money on junkets in far-away places (mostly warm with great nightlife) for the tens of thousands of “delegates” and hangers-on who have the audacity to fly there only to “decide” where their next party will be. This must stop. The lies must be revealed. There is a bright future if we can undo this carp. The world needs to see that manipulation on a global scale can and does exist. The benefits of overthrowing this charade are manifold. Including the exposure of “peer review” for what it is – a mandate for friends to back up each other and their theories to the detriment of truth, society and persons with opposite views. To my mind the most deserving casualty of the exposure of the UN IPCC confection is going to be “peer review” and it’s mantra of “settled science” through “consensus”. Crock of shirts. The old boys network laid bare. We need to take a different tack. Humanity is not best served by allowing “peers” to “review” anything, let alone science that may drive policy. As time passes this need becomes more relevant – we don’t want the IPCC to actually decide anything do we? They would be basing their decision on flawed science so the outcome would only be bad for the majority in this author’s opinion. The IPCC must disband forthwith.
