More Proof Of "Faked" Warming

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Saturday, December 05, 2009 11:00:16 AM
   It is beginning to look like the mortar is falling out of the brick wall that used to be global warming. Now the famed Kilimanjaro Ice cap that has become Al Gore's poster pic for global warming has just been assaulted; by a real scientist.
 
...Professor Jaap Sinninghe Damste — a leading molecular paleontologist at Utrecht University and winner of the prestigious Spinoza Prize — about the melting icecap of the Kilimanjaro, the African mountain that became a symbol of anthropogenic global warming.

Professor Sinninghe Damste’s research, as discussed on the site of the Dutch Organization of Scientific Research (DOSR) — a governmental body — shows that the icecap of Kilimanjaro was not the result of cold air but of large amounts of precipitation which fell at the beginning of the Holocene period, about 11,000 years ago.

The melting and freezing of moisture on top of Kilimanjaro appears to be part of  “a natural process of dry and wet periods.” The present melting is not the result of “environmental damage caused by man.”

Professor Damste studied organic biomarker molecules in the sediment record of Lake Challa, near Mount Kilimanjaro, and reconstructed the changes and intensity of precipitation in this part of Africa over the last 25,000 years. They observed an 11,500 year cycle of intense monsoon precipitation.

In the dry period between 12,800 and 11,500 years ago, Kilimanjaro was ice-free.

   What? Kilimanjaro was ice free at one point? Shock! Maybe the Neaderthals discovered coal and used it to cook food and stay warm in the area around Kilimanjaro, because we all know that burning coal is terrible.
 
   Obviously, his work will have to be proved out as well, because it is a theory based in real science. But if he had to submit his work to peer-review in climate journals, well, we would not be reading his study right now.

The Daily Show's Take On Climategate

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Friday, December 04, 2009 7:15:17 PM
   I am not a particular fan of the The Daily Show; actually I have never watched a whole episode because his humor is boring after about 10 minutes. But Since Jon Stewart's show is so popular, you have to include his take on things.
 
So here you go... (Via M4GW)

10 Craziest Ideas To Solve AGW

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Friday, December 04, 2009 6:57:50 PM
   Here is a list of the 10 craziest ideas to solve global warming submitted by Yahoo.news/Live Science.
I will have to do one of my own. There are a couple of good ones,  but I think I have heard some other solutions that were quite unusual.

New Viginia Tech Shooting Scandal

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Friday, December 04, 2009 11:39:02 AM
   No problem here...

The report indicates that students who were initially locked down at West Ambler Johnston residence hall, where the spree began, were later released from the building by the police and allowed to attend their 9 a.m. classes. Two of those students then went to class in Norris Hall, where they were killed by the shooter.
 
At least two members of the university’s Policy Group, which was assembled to manage the crisis, let their own families know of the first two shootings, in the residence hall, more than 90 minutes before the group warned the rest of the campus. The new report also says that the university president’s office was locked down about 30 minutes before a formal warning was issued to the rest of the campus.
 
    This is nothing short of criminal. Hopefully some heads will roll. My prayers go out the families who lost loved ones because of Virginia Tech's "policy groups" selfishness. Sadness...

Got to love Steyn's Take On Climategate

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Friday, December 04, 2009 11:14:58 AM
   Mark Steyn has a great way of putting things, and this column is no different.

   Yet perhaps the most important revelation is not the collusion, the bullying, the politicization and the evidence-planting, but the fact that, even if you wanted to do honest “climate research” at the Climatic Research Unit, the data and the models are now so diseased by the above that they’re all but useless. Let Ian “Harry” Harris, who works in “climate scenario development and data manipulation” at the CRU, sum it up. Mr. Harris was attempting to duplicate previous results - i.e., to duplicate all that science that’s supposedly settled, and the questioning of which consigns you to the Climate Branch of the Flat Earth Society. How hard should it be to confirm settled science? After much cyber-gnashing of teeth, Harry throws in the towel:

“ARGH. Just went back to check on synthetic production. Apparently - I have no memory of this at all - we’re not doing observed rain days! It’s all synthetic from 1990 onwards. So I’m going to need conditionals in the update program to handle that. And separate gridding before 1989. And what TF happens to station counts?

“OH F-K THIS. It’s Sunday evening, I’ve worked all weekend, and just when I thought it was done I’m hitting yet another problem that’s based on the hopeless state of our databases. There is no uniform data integrity, it’s just a catalogue of issues that continues to grow as they’re found.”

Thus spake the Settled Scientist: “OH F-K THIS.” And on the basis of “OH F-K THIS” the world’s enlightened progressives will assemble at Copenhagen for the single greatest advance in punitive liberalism ever perpetrated on the developed world.
 
   The truth in the emails is teriffying isn't it? I am beginning to wonder if the whole global warming thing should be postponed until all the science is in. Ha!

U.N. To Investigate Itself

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Friday, December 04, 2009 11:01:02 AM
 
 A top UN panel is to probe claims that British scientists sought to suppress data backing climate change sceptics' views, its head said on Friday ahead of the landmark Copenhagen summit.
Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the claims -- which led a top expert to leave his post temporarily this week -- were serious and needed to be investigated.
 
"We certainly don't want to brush anything under the carpet. This is a serious issue and we will look into it in detail," he added.
 
   Nothoing like internal investigations; they tend to lead no where.
 
   I would like to see an independent panel of scientists from varying fields, equally distributed between believers and skeptics to investigate this scandal. That will never happen of course. Instead, Jones was predicted to be the fall-guy and he was. And you can bet that the  investigating U.N. panel will most certainly sweep anything that might convict one of their own under rug without a second thought.
 
   As you can tell, I do not trust the U.N....period.
