PBS: "Discovery" of Global Warming Greatest Scientific Achievement

Posted by Brian
H/T to Real Science

The propaganda arm of the left is in full swing at PBS.  Saying the "discovery" of global warming may be science's greatest achievement, and that we start with the assumption it is real, our excited host spews the party line on man-made climate change.
Greater than the discovery of smallpox and polio vaccines? Greater than Einstein's Theory of Relativity?
Of course we all know that prior to the invention of the automobile global warming and climate change didn't exist.  The Little Ice Age never happened.  The Medieval Warming period was a right-wing conspiracy. And of course, CO2 levels have never been higher, in the entire history of the planet, than they are now.



For thinking people with the ability to think critically, global warming and cooling (also known as climate change) is constant.  It is a cyclical phenomenon that has occurred since Creation, and will continue long after we are gone, To pompous, liberal, bourgeois elites like this guy, history began the day he was born.  Arrogantly, they believe man has the capability to actually change the climate of an entire planet with wind turbines, capturing cow flatulence, installing solar panels, and using paper instead of plastic.
It sounds ridiculous because it is.

Think Global Warming Is Man-Made? Watch This!

Global Warming? Follow The Money!

The film, made by British television producer Martin Durkin, presents scientists, economists, politicians, writers, and others who dispute the scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic global warming.

The Great Global Warming Swindle (Full Movie)

The film's basic premise is that the current scientific opinion on the anthropogenic causes of global warming has numerous scientific flaws, and that vested monetary interests in the scientific establishment and the media discourage the public and the scientific community from acknowledging or even debating this. The film asserts that the publicised scientific consensus is the product of a "global warming activist industry" driven by a desire for research funding. Other culprits, according to the film, are Western environmentalists promoting expensive solar and wind power over cheap fossil fuels in Africa, resulting in African countries being held back from industrialising.

The film won best documentary at the 2007 Io Isabella International Film Week.

A number of academics, environmentalists, think-tank consultants and writers are interviewed in the film in support of its various assertions. They include the Canadian environmentalist Patrick Moore, former member of Greenpeace but for the past 21 years a critic of the organisation; Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Patrick Michaels, Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia; Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist from 1962 to 1966; John Christy, professor and director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama; Paul Reiter of the Pasteur Institute; former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson; and Piers Corbyn, a British weather forecaster.

Carl Wunsch, professor of oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was also interviewed but has since said that he strongly disagrees with the film's conclusions and the way his interview material was used.

NASA Says Computer Models Wrong About Climate Change
Allan Ramsay, Yahoo! Contributor Network

Computer software models running on super computers are the basis for estimates of humankind's contribution to global warming and climate change. This week NASA announced new evidence, with data gathered by the Terra Earth-orbiting satellite, that these models and the global warming forecasts they make are wrong. The projections vastly overestimate the impact of humanity's carbon footprint and its effect on climate. 


NASA's Terra satellite, which has been observing Earth since its launch in December 1999, monitors the heat transferred from our atmosphere into space, as well as the heat delivered into the atmosphere by the sun's energy. Dr. Roy Spencer, principal research scientist in the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and Dr. Danny Braswell studied how the atmosphere actually behaved over the last decade as various climate-warming episodes came and went. They published their findings this week in Remote Sensing, a peer-reviewed journal.

CNN Weather Babe Says Tornado Outbreak Caused By Global Warming

Posted by Brian
h/t to The Washington Free Beacon

April has historically been one of the worst months for tornado outbreaks around the U.S.  However that doesn't stop CNN's Alexandria Steele and Carol Costello from having the following exchange:



ALEXANDRA STEELE: The same area’s in place for severe weather in terms of maybe some hail and very gusty winds tomorrow. It’s just not progressive.  


CAROL COSTELLO: Such a strange spring.  


STEELE: It really is. That’s kind of the climate change we are seeing. Extremes are ruling the roost and what we are seeing, more become the norm.  


COSTELLO: It makes me afraid for what next spring will bring. It might be unnaturally cold.  


STEELE: Because that’s not it–this global warming is really kind of a misnomer. Global climate change—so the colds are colder and warms are warmer, and the severes more severe.


Pure sophistry. This is the type of irresponsible reporting that has public confidence in the media at an all-time low.  No historical perspective.  No facts to back up her claim. Just blind faith and even less intellectual curiosity causes her to regurgitate the false narrative. 

From 1959 to 2006, April has seen 5,376 tornadoes touchdown in 44 states, with 1,193 deaths recorded.

Below is a graphic of tornadoes that have touched down in just the first eleven days of April during that time frame.


Not exactly the slow season in the storm chasing business.

The climate system may be less sensitive to greenhouse-gas warming than many models have predicted.
