Regarding the current severe winter across the Northern hemisphere - 'one swallow doesn't make a summer'



Yes I agree, but this is like the summer of 1976 only in reverse.May not be significant, but could be.We could have another 2 months of this and they are already saying it's the worse for 30 years. In 63 it didn't even get going until Feb.

It's not difficult to see that the oil companies are unhappy at the prospect of being targeted by taxation and have set measures in place to prevent it.
You can buy a lot of bs artists for the kind of money those people stand to lose unless they can kybosh Kyoto etc.
These people have been running the world for a century or more. Ask anyone from the MidEast. Check out that Iraq War. They have just looted the US Treasury on a fantastic scale and now they want to get rid of green taxes.
So they hire a few scunners to put some disinfo about. It's not very difficult. The Right-Wing press lap it up as it's what they want to believe, just like the ludicrous scam to smear George Galloway.

I haven't looked. I don't know why you can't find it.

One of the Eskimo interviews was broadcast a few weeks ago on a show about Stephen Fry in America. They were paddling about in their kayaks trying to catch a whale or somesuch. They said they were doing this earlier in the year than they used to, as the ice melted much earlier. I have seen several Eskimo interviews now, and have trouble telling them apart. There was also one with Ray Mears in Canada, and a few others.
Apparently the North-West Passage may soon be navigable for the first time since the Ice Age.
Enjoy.

Moon Light, I know you mean well but please try to check out some facts for yourself, rather than believing what you see on the TV. Believe me you are being conned, and you have bought it hook line and sinker. That's understandable, as the propaganda is very strong, thus those that don't seek the true facts themselves could perhaps be forgiven for their naivety.

"An advertising campaign touting the depth and quality of the Times newspapers environment coverage has been slapped by an industry watchdog for inaccuracy. The paper has agreed to modify the advertisements, which are based on a false climate change claim.

The Times ads claimed that global warming had caused the North East shipping passage, the icy Arctic route which in summer links Russias European ports to the Bering Strait, to be opened for the first time. In fact, the North East Passage opened in 1934, and was opened to overseas traffic after the fall of the Soviet Union. Modern technology, specifically radar, has permitted a safer passage in recent years."

True science values scepticism, whilst political faith based science hates it and punishes it as heresy with the rack and the Inquisition.

Personally, after much studying of the facts, I am convinced that anthropogenic CO2 emissions have a negligible affect on climate. The tide of independent scientific opinion is turning that way too, and I'm confident it will not be too long before the whole CO2 political scare story is proven to be nonsense.

We have to be thankful to the anthropogenic global warming proponents for one thing. If it werent for them and their voodoo science, climate science wouldnt have attracted the attention of physicists, chemists, astro physicists and other non-climate scientists, and we would be sleepwalking into the rather disruptive cooling that is coming next decade. We have a few years to prepare for that in terms of agricultural production.

Did you know that total global anthropogenic CO2 accounts for just 0.0015% of our atmosphere. The UK is responsible for 2% of that figure i.e. if the UK halted all fossil fuel consumption over night, that would lower atmospheric CO2 by 0.00003%. The effects would be economically and humanly devastating, whilst of course having absolutely zero influence on climate. That's apart from the fact that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant at all and our atmosphere is actually rather diminished, present concentration being 385ppmv (0.0385%). Levels have been much higher in the past, naturally of course, resulting in great benefits to plant life, forestry, farming and humans.

Like most people, I suspect you misunderstand the Greenhouse Effect. Warmists will usually state that CO2 is a greenhouse gas so adding more and more must result in more and more heat reflected back to Earth. This is false. It is no more than a logical fallacy.

As a simplistic demonstration of the effects of CO2, perhaps we could ask them to imagine greenhouse gases in the atmosphere representing 10 duvets on their bed (9 for water vapour 1 for CO2/Methane/Nitrous oxide) (water vapour accounts for 90% of green house gases) whilst they're snug as a bug inside. Adding another duvet will make no difference, adding another 10,20,30 or more duvets will make no difference. So it is with CO2.

The effect of carbon dioxide on temperature is logarithmic and thus climate sensitivity decreases with increasing concentration. The first 20 ppm of carbon dioxide has a greater temperature effect than the next 400 ppm. Remember, atmospheric CO2 concentration is just 385 ppmv (0.0385%) and of that amount less than 4% is of human origin. Reducing that 4% to 3% or even zero would have no effect whatsoever on global climate. Meanwhile, the oceans de-gas and re-sink CO2 at varying rates naturally, always following temperature never preceding it.

For the last 2 years the Sun has been very quiet, sunspot activity has been at its lowest recorded level for more than 100 years, solar cycle 23 was extra long (normally 11 years) with a long solar minimum, and cycle 24 is predicted to be weak. There's a high probability that we are now entering a period of climate similar to the Dalton minimum circa 1800 (end of the little ice age) when solar activity was similarly quiet.

The solar/climate relationship is like this :

Lower magnetic field strength = fewer sunspots = reduced solar wind = increased high energy cosmic rays = increased low level cloud formation = increased albedo = cooler Earth.

You are seeing the effects of weak total solar irradiance right now. The effects of solar eruptivity (increased cosmic ray flux) are seperate to this, and are the main reason we will see a cooling climate for years to come.

The northern hemisphere is experiencing record breaking low temperatures. Global warming does not cause global cooling! Please question your logic!

Anyone who's interested can browse a few of the climategate scandal email exchanges at the link below. You shoud keep in mind that the exchanges are between the supposed top government funded climate scientists of the world, whose decisions form the basis of goverment policy.

Not if you like betting on the horses.

I experienced the last time polar air came seriously south, below the Highland Line.
Just about every pipe in the West of Scotland burst. Our whole built environment isn't designed for this.
I got on the train to the South, and arrived at Glasgow Central. As I got off the train, it felt like stepping under a cold shower. I was wearing warm winter clothes, but was instantly chilled in a way I had never been before, not even in childhood. I stepped outside the Station, and found the shops closed and the streets deserted. This was the day the post-Christmas sales should have started, when normally you can't walk down the pavements for people. It was like a ghost-town, a city huddling round their fires in fear.
I soon realised that I couldn't stay outside till my train to England was due, as I was unendurably cold. I went back to the station and hid in the cafe.
The cold did not reach South of the Border, so the English media paid no heed.
It's often pointed out that we live at the same latitude as Newfoundland and Moscow. I don't think many people realise what a fine line we walk.

(Moon Light : All the melting ice at the Poles gives their claims a certain credibility.)

Moonlight you still haven't shown any credible evidence for this. you Say you saw it on a the News, but Wikipedia disagrees and you say the scientists have since admitted they got it wrong. You have provided no evidence for this.


SC, be wary of anything on Wikipedia as it's been taken over by a True Believer... a UK Government funded scientist and Green Party activist named William Connolley, who has turned Wikipedia into a global warming movement!

"All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity.

clue No. 2

Conflict of interest or insider trading?

The saga of Tamiflu is just the tip of a big iceberg. As we noted in an earlier article, the real point of interest is the company in California who developed Tamiflu, Gilead Sciences, listed on the NASDAQ as (GILD). As we also noted, US Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld, was Chairman of the Board of Gilead Sciences from 1997 until early 2001 when he became Defense Secretary. Rumsfeld had been on the board of Gilead since 1988, some thirteen years.

A as-yet-unconfirmed report is that Rumsfeld recently purchased additional stock in his former company, Gilead Sciences, worth $18 million, making him one of its largest if not the largest stock owners today. Whether that is true or not, earlier this year, when the Bird Flu scare was just heating up, according to a report in the November 14 Fortune magazine, the Defense Secretary decided not to sell his many shares in Gilead so as to

And for anyone interested, here's an open letter to PM Rudd of Australia, explaining the utter futility of attempting to control the climate via taxes.


"One-fiftieth of a Celsius degree of warming forestalled is all that complete, global compliance with the Copenhagen Accord for an entire decade would achieve. Yet the cost of achieving this result an outcome so small that our instruments would not be able to measure it would run into trillions of dollars. Do your Treasury models demonstrate that this calculation is in any way erroneous? If they do, junk them".
