HARMFUL MAN INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE (GLOBAL WARMING) REFUTED

"Our Global Climate Is Now Actually Cooling"
Current Time:

Welcome to my not for profit web blog styled website. The information contained within is presented in layman's terms so that it can be more easily absorbed without one's eyes glazing over. There is an enormous amount of information contained within this site but it is worth the time invested to absorb. This site is permanently under construction as I add new data and research information continuously. If you see any spelling or sentence structure errors I've overlooked please feel free to advise me, thanks! If you find this website informative please tell your friends.

No matter what you have read recently in magazines, newspapers, on the internet, heard on the radio, seen on TV or on the big screen, there is absolutely no credible evidence that can be independently verified that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. Also the sea level in all of Earth's oceans has not risen even 1.00"/2.54 cm in the past 200 years.

The cover of the August 2007 issue of Newsweek magazine is titled Global Warming Hoax*. I'm one of those deniers described theirin!!! However I'm not part of the described well oiled and heeled global warming denial machine of Corporate America. I personally loathe that group, a group that has raped, pillaged and plundered the environment for obscene personal profit for a couple of centuries. Getting back to the magazine article, if you read it carefully you will find the usual would have, could have, should have evidence in it but absolutely no credible evidence that can be independently verified that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring.

By the way, to demonstrate (I'm a slightly left of center registered Democrat) that I'm not part of the well oiled and heeled global warming denial machine of Corporate America check out the photograph below. It's I and my wife's personal Attorney Erin Brockovich. Yes "the" Erin Brockovich, slayer of large corporations that pollute our environment. She is representing us in a lawsuit against a group of multinational corporations that polluted our local environment and caused a host of illnesses in the local population.

CORONET INDUSTRIES INC LAWSUIT

I would not on one hand sue a large group of multinational corporations for harming my wife and daughter's health through illegal polluting of the environment and then on the other hand side with the multinational corporations that are taking a stand against harmful man induced climate change (global warming) knowing that they pollute.

Make no mistake, the multinational corporation is the single biggest threat to our secure economic and environmental future. We should be expending maximum effort to reign in Corporate America but not via the lie that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. You can't get fresh water from a poisoned well.

I can state as fact that Earth's climate has been warming very slowly, a natural and normal progression (non Anthropogenic), as we are currently in an Interglacial period (between ice ages). To attempt to put things in perspective, at least twice in the history of the Earth the planet was totally covered in a sheet of ice and at the Equator the ice was at least five feet thick. Also at least twice the Earth has been totally ice free. The only consistent aspect about Earth's climate in the past four and one half billion years or so is endless change!!!

An Interglacial period is a geological interval of time with warmer global average temperature that separates glacials/ice ages. Our current Holocene interglacial has persisted since the Pleistocene, approximately 11,500 years ago. Superimposed on this very long climate change cycle is a number of smaller ones caused by small variations in the energy output of our Sun, wobbles of our Earth as it spins on its axis and the eccentricity of Earth's orbit around the Sun. If man's activities were actually warming Earth's climate which is not the case, in approximately 3500 years we will once again find ourselves in yet another ice age.

19000+ SCIENTISTS SIGN PETITION STATING THAT HARMFUL MAN
INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE (GLOBAL WARMING) IS NOT OCCURRING

However there is now growing evidence that the interglacial warming reversed itself beginning around 1940 but I'm not sure if the reversal signals a return to a long term Ice Age or another shorter Little Ice Age. Typically an interglacial period lasts approximately 11,500 years, so anecdotal evidence would point to a return of a long term ice age. However as the Sun is at an 8000 year high as far as activity it’s a tough call. Personally I lean towards another Little Ice Age.

TAKE THE 10 QUESTION GLOBAL WARMING TEST

However as an objective true scientist with no political ax to grind I stand firmly against the current junk science, media and pop culture craze that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) and ozone depletion is occurring. It's a total and utter fraud partially based on scientists within government and academia garnering a livelihood on earmarked global warming taxpayer funded research giveaways by federal and state governments. Basically they tell the government what it wants to hear to keep the $$$ rolling in. Long gone are the days of objectivity in science (see the link below). In the realm of science you cannot have a consensus, something either is or isn't. The use of the word points to how politics has entered the world of Science.

SCIENTIST GROUP'S FUNDING COMES WITH LIBERAL STRINGS ATTACHED

Ozone Hole Over The Arctic During Northern Hemisphere Winter

The ozone holes (actually not a hole but a thinning) in the atmosphere in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are naturally occurring due to meteorological effects, expanding and contracting with the change of season. The meteorological effects consist of high velocity stratospheric level winds that peak during local winter and act to destroy ozone. Also there is less ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun due to the inclination of Earth's axis during hemispheric Winter.

Another variability impacting ozone layer density is the +/- 11 year sunspot cycle. When solar activity is intense at a peak of a solar cycle the ozone layer density increases due to increased UV radiation, just the opposite occurs at the bottom of a solar cycle when the Sun is relatively quiet.

So while we run around like chickens with our heads cut off banning Freon R7 and other CFC's from everything we are simply wasting time and money as changes in ozone layer density is a normal occurrence. By the way the U.S. is not the number one producer of so called greenhouse gases. China ranks number one, India number two and the U.S. number three.


In 1998 17,000+ scientists signed a petition in Oregon concerning the Kyoto Protocol that states that there is no credible evidence that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. Their assertion still stands.

Once again I state that no matter what you have read recently in magazines, newspapers, on the internet, heard on the radio, seen on TV or on the big screen. There is absolutely no credible evidence that can be independently verified that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. The same goes for harmful man induced ozone depletion.

The record cold of the decades of the 1940's, 1970's, 1980's and most recently the bitter northern hemisphere winters of 2000-2001, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 argue against the occurrence of harmful man induced climate change (global warming). Also Winter 2000-2001 and 2004-2005 in Siberian Russia, as well as Winter 2004 in Antarctica were the coldest in recorded history. And let's not forget that January 2004 in Boston, MA was the coldest January in 111 years. Grand Forks, ND set its all time record low of -44 deg. below zero F, Fosston, MN also at -50 deg. below zero F and Saskatchewan, Canada saw minimum temperatures fall to -62 deg. below zero F, all in Winter 2003-2004.

But what is the point of the above paragraph? It is to demonstrate that for every short term global record warm weather event that is heralded in the media as an example of global warming, there is a counter balancing global record cold weather event, usually ignored by the media. 

The Warministas point to each and every regional short term warm event as proof positive that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. At the same time they conveniently ignore regional short and long term cold events or I should say that they used too. Their new tactic now is to conveniently blame every regional cooling event as also proof positive that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring. So they have a win-win situation.

As follows are old weather anomalies in 2008 that have gone under or not reported at all in the U.S. media, due to the global warming media bias.

.....During the period Tuesday-Thursday June 10-12, 2008 The Pacific NW and Northern/Central Rockies saw unusually late subfreezing cold and measurable snow.....

.....On Thursday May 15, 2008 it was reported that April 2008 was the coolest April in 11 years for the lower 48 United States and fell into the lowest twenty five percent of all Aprils based on records going back to 1895.....

.....On Monday May 12, 2008 it snow in State College, PA. This the latest snowfall on record and only the second snowfall in May in the past 105 years.....

.....On Tuesday May 6, 2008 the first 90 degree maximum temperature of the summer season occurred on the south side of Lakeland, FL. In 43 years of record keeping this is the latest date for the first 90 degree maximum temperature.....

.....On Sunday April 27, 2008 Anchorage AK experienced the heaviest snowfall after April 1st since records began in the early 20th century.....

.....On Thursday April 17, 2008 a minimum temperature of 31.0 degrees F with ground frost was observed at Nobleton East in Sumter County on the west central peninsula on the latitude of Orlando. This is the coldest minimum temperature for the month in 30 years of records, the previous record was 31.9 degrees. The mornings of Tuesday-Wednesday April 15-16, 2008 saw a minimum temperature of 32 degrees.....

.....On Saturday April 12, 2008 Crested Butte, CO has measured 422" of snow so far this season, breaking the old record of 415" measured in 1979-1980.....

.....On Friday April 11, 2008 Spokane, WA and the surrounding inland NW region is suffering through it's second snowiest winter on record. So far, 89.5 inches of snow has fallen on Spokane during the winter of 2007-08. Last weekend's snowfall pushed this winter past the 89 inches recorded in 1974-1975. It expected that the all time record will be reached before the season ends..... 

.....On Sunday April 6, 2008 Caribou, ME broke it's all time seasonal snowfall record with 193" measured, normal is 110". The previous record was 160" measured in 1940.....

.....On Tuesday March 18, 2008 average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during climatological winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coldest since 2001. In the contiguous United States, the average winter temperature was 33.2°F (0.6°C), which was 0.2°F (0.1°C) above the 20th century average, yet still ranks as the coldest since 2001. It was the 54th coldest winter since national records began in 1895.....

.....On Monday March 12, 2008 in Canada, which is one of the snowiest countries in the world, a series of violent "snow rage" incidents reveal that even the locals have their limits. Police in the French speaking province of Quebec said on Wednesday that people were fighting over snow clearing and even parking spaces. Recent Canadian winters have been mild but this one looks set to break all time records for snow. One storm last weekend dumped 23 inches on the capital Ottawa and 19 inches on Quebec City, which has already received 210" this year. Quebec City police said they had been called to a dozen violent disputes about snow from one property ending up on someone else's. The drifts outside some houses are 12 feet and higher.....

.....On Sunday March 2, 2008 it was reported that the world has seen some extraordinary winter conditions in both hemispheres over the past year: measurable snow in Johannesburg last June and 6" in Baghdad in January, the first ever observed in 100 years of records, Arctic sea ice returning with a vengeance reaching record coverage after a record retreat last summer, paralyzing blizzards in China and a sharp drop in the globe’s average temperature.....

.....On Tuesday February 26, 2008 snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966. The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average.....

.....On Thursday February 8, 2008 the minimum temperature dipped to -83 deg. F, at Chicken, AK, a new all time record low for Alaska and North America. The minimum temperature dipped to -102 deg. F at Ojmjakon in Siberia, a new all time record low for Russia, Asia and globally outside of Antarctica.....

.....Subfreezing minimum temperatures occurred and snow showers fell on Thursday morning January 3, 2008 in central Florida.

MORE COLD WEATHER ANOMALIES UNDER OR UNREPORTED IN THE BIASED MEDIA

A recently completed long term global climate study has discovered that the Medieval period of 1000-1300 AD was warmer than our present climate and it occurred well in advance of the industrial revolution!!! Also after that warm period there was a bitterly cold period between 1350-1900 AD dubbed The Little Ice Age, where the Thames River froze solid virtually every winter and snow regularly visited the Florida peninsula. There is evidence that The Little Ice Age was caused by reduced energy output from the Sun and the slowing of or failure of the Atlantic Ocean Basin Thermohaline Circulation. The warm surface Gulf Stream current is part of this circulation.

During The Little Ice Age period global temperature fell approximately 4 deg. F. By the way superimposed on this period was the smaller period of time between 1645-1715 when the Sun produced virtually no observable sunspots! This shorter period is called the Maunder Minimum, a time when global temperature fell another 3 deg. F. Check out the link on the subject below.

                                                                                  THE LITTLE ICE AGE AND MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD

To truly measure long term climate change whether it be warmer or colder, takes much more time to accurately measure than the time that we have even possessed the technological means to do so. Natural long term climate change is related to variations in energy output of the Sun and wobbles of our Earth as it spins on its axis and changes in Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun, not our puny but arrogant human existence.

Ground based weather observations have shown a small increase in surface temperature between 1895-2004 of approximately +0.1 deg. F. This is due to the encroaching urban heat island effect around weather observing equipment locations, the shift to less accurate automated weather observing equipment, lack of routine maintenance of automated and manual and electronic manual weather observing equipment and lack of maintenance of weather observing equipment exposure. There is also the human factor where weather observation data is manipulated to produce the desired warming. It's disingenuous at the least and an outrage at the most.

Check out the following two website links. These sites document some of the U.S. Historical Climate Network (USHCN) weather stations that are in a physical shambles. The USHCN consists of 1221 weather stations out of the 8000 COOP weather stations with at least 50 years of continuous weather observations. Weather observation data from these official sites go into the climate models. Data from these models is used to shove the lie of harmful man induced climate change (global warming) down our throats. There is an old saying B.S. in B.S. out.

Satellite based systems that measure the complete land, ocean, atmosphere interface show a definite cooling trend between 1979-2004 of -0.5 deg, F. Radiosonde balloon launches show no temperature change between 1960-2004. Antarctica has been cooling at the rate of 1.4 deg. F per every ten years for the past 20 years. Also between 1895 and 2004 January average temperature in Florida has fallen approximately 1 deg. F.

Also though some glaciers in Greenland and Europe are receding, others in Alaska and Antarctica are rapidly expanding. Also temperature on the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland is falling. How can that possibly be if harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring??? In the panhandle region of Alaska the Hubbard Glacier is growing at the rate of 80 feet per year and is threatening the town of Yakutat.

ALASKAN GLACIERS ADVANCE ONE THIRD OF A MILE IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR

GLOBAL COOLING IN ANTARCTICA

There is also anecdotal evidence that the number of cold core tropical upper tropospheric trough's (TUTT's) are increasing. TUTT's are caused by cooling in the upper troposphere, a process that would not be occurring if harmful man induced climate change (global warming) was occurring.

Here is some more very interesting data. NOAA weather and ocean observation data and webcam images from the North Pole showed that in 2002, 2003 and 2004 the ice melt began later than normal and the refreeze began earlier than normal. What the heck??? That means that the Summer season was shorter than normal. Here is a link to the data:

RECENT SHORTER THAN NORMAL SUMMERS AT THE NORTH POLE

 

Let's shift gears for a moment and talk about warmth. For years now 1998 has been championed by the Warministas as the warmest year of the 20th century and proof of harmful man induced climate change (global warming). However four of the ten hottest years on record (including the hottest year) was in the 1930s, according to NASA data that was overlooked until a Canadian kid pointed it out, another glaring error in the false propaganda machine of the pro global warming religious cult.

In recent years abnormally cold water has been occurring along the east coast of Florida between the coast and Gulf Stream. Is this cold ocean water anomaly just a natural oscillation such as the cold coastal Arctic Labrador Current making it down to the east coast of Florida temporarily? Or is something else beginning, like a global cooling disruption of the Thermohaline circulation? For those of you unfamiliar with the global ocean Thermohaline circulation check out the link below.

Briefly it is a global circulation that consists of shallow warm salty water moving northward from the tropics that cools, becomes more dense (related to temperature and salinity) and sinks in the polar regions, only to head back south very deep within the ocean and resurface again in the tropics. Once complete cycle takes approximately 1600 years. A disruption or shut down of this circulatory system would trigger a new "Little Ice Age" within 5-10 years and a devastating shift back into a global ice age in only 20-30 years.

By the way though it can be found posted as fact all over the Internet right now, the Gulf Stream has not actually started slowing down yet. And if it eventually does it means a renewed ice age not global warming!!!          

THE THERMOHALINE CIRCULATION

More evidence of global cooling is the recent decision by the NOAA NHC/TPC to start naming subtropical storms. We are seeing more early season hybrid storms like TS Anna in April 2003 and late season hybrid storms like TS Peter in December 2003. Also there was the rare un-named Hurricane that struck Brazil near 28 deg. south latitude at the end of March 2003.

Global cooling is translating into more cold core winter type storms penetrating deeper into the tropics during the Fall and Spring periods. These cold core systems then take on a hybrid mix of warm and cold core storm characteristics and at times even translate into a warm core tropical systems. Another way to look at it is that the ITCZ pushed south of the Equator by intense jet stream flow associated with the very cold winter of 2003-2004. This is exactly what spawned Hurricane "No Name" in Brazil.

Recent climate issues in the news such as retreating glaciation is another example of global cooling. Why? Simply as the global temperature falls the atmosphere retains less moisture and less precipitation falls. Also claims of permanent reductions in sea ice coverage are grossly exaggerated or simply untrue. Temporary fluctuations in sea ice coverage can be explained by the natural oscillation of the numerous interacting regional, hemispheric and global atmosphere and ocean patterns.

How about (ENSO) El Nino/La Nina, (PDO) Pacific Decadal Oscillation (recently the PDO shifted to a negative configuration which will produce colder than normal weather for North America for the next 20-30 years), (IPO) Inter-decadal Oscillation, (EPO) East Pacific Oscillation, (NAO) North Atlantic Oscillation, (AO) Arctic Oscillation, (AAO) Antarctic Oscillation, (MJO) Madden-Julian Oscillation, (QDO) Quasi-decadal Oscillation, (QBO) Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, (TAV) Tropical Atlantic Variability, (EA) East Atlantic, (EAWR) East Atlantic/Western Russia, (SCAND) Scandinavia, (PE) Polar/Eurasia, (WP) West Pacific, (EP-NP) East Pacific-North Pacific, (TNH) Tropical/Northern Hemisphere, (PT) Pacific Transition, Global Atmospheric Angular Momentum (GLAAM) and others. Never heard of some or all of them? Of course not because they are not junk science concepts!

Small variations in the energy output of our Sun directly impacts our global climate. As I already mentioned but will again, a period of time between 1645-1715 the Sun produced virtually no observable sunspots! This time period is called the Maunder Minimum, a time when global temperature fell another 3 deg. F.

We are currently at the minimum of solar cycle 23. Evidence continues to mount that solar cycle 24 may be the smallest in the last 100 years. I predict a solar cycle 24 peak at a Smoothed Sunspot Number (SSN) of 105 in October 2012. If correct solar cycle 24 will be smaller than the previous three.

I base my prediction of a smaller and later peak of solar cycle 24 peak (smoothed sunspot number of 105 in 2012) on the slowing of the internal meridional circulation of the Sun and related weaker than normal magnetic field line packing at the poles of the Sun.
 
Normally the internal meridional circulation (kind of like a conveyor belt) moves at approximately 1 meter per second. In the past ten years the circulation has slowed to approximately .75 meters per second in the north and .35 meters per second in the south, the slowest since the 1800s.
 
The current state of these processes are precursors of a smaller and later solar cycle 24 peak. BTW as of March 1, 2008 solar cycle 23 became the longest in recorded history, which is the anecdotal evidence of a smaller and later solar cycle 24 peak.

The 1700/2000/2300 UTC solar flux index readings for July 16, 2008 were as follows; 64.2 64.6 64.6. The 64.2 reading is the lowest of solar cycle 23 and the lowest since the 62.8 which occurred on November 3, 1954 at the bottom of solar cycle 22.

On July 11, 2008 NASA solar physicist David Hathaway published an article  http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/11jul_solarcycleupdate.htm stating that the length of the current lull between solar cycle 23 and 24 is within the realm of normalcy. With all due respect I think that he missing the
forest for the trees. The real issue is that the length of solar cycle 23, from it's first visible spot in May 1996 through the most recent one now is
12.4 years, which is the longest recorded solar cycle in recorded history. The current lull may last into winter 2009
which would make the current lull the longest on record also.

By the way check out my solar, space weather and geomagnetic data archive site at:

KN4LF SOLAR SPACE WEATHER AND GEOMAGNETIC DATA ARCHIVE

The NOAA Space Weather Forecast Center (SWPC) currently has two forecasts out for solar cycle 24. Forecast #1 calls for a sunspot number peak of 140 in October 2011. Forecast #2 calls for a sunspot number peak of 90 in August 2012. See the graphic below. The SWPC also has a very long range forecast out for solar cycle 25 that would be smaller still than the previous four.

Are we headed for another Dalton Minimum? Only time will tell! Anecdotal evidence is pointing towards another Dalton Minimum. A Dalton Minimum is a miniature version of the infamous Maunder Minimum, where the number of sunspot groups drop to a below normal level and corresponding total energy output of the Sun also drops. This would bring on a mini mini ice age for a period of 30-50 years.

This does not bode well for our global climate as far as a cooling effect. During the next solar cycle we may return to a period with much longer and colder winters similar to the 1970's and 1980's. You can read about it at:

SUNSPOT ACTIVITY AT 8,000 YEAR HIGH

THE NEXT SOLAR MAXIMUM THE SMALLEST IN 100 YEARS?

THE SUN IS MORE ACTIVE NOW THAN OVER THE LAST 8,000 YEARS

By the way the D layer of the Ionosphere which is at Mesosphere altitude cools approximately 2 deg C and contracts in thickness near and at the bottom of a +/- 11 year solar cycle. However monitoring of temperature in the Mesosphere during the past thirty years has detected a 10 deg. C temperature drop independent of sunspot cycle phase, yet another sign that we are seeing global cooling not warming.

What is sad but at the same time humorous concerning some global layman environmentalists is that they are extremely ignorant of the natural laws of physics and also the obvious fact that all sophisticated operational and experimental numerical weather forecasting models become questionable in accuracy at 3-15 days out. But at the same time they expect us to believe that these same forecasting models can accurately forecast global temperature trends years into the future, a classic junk science mentality, preying on a science ignorant American and global populace. It's also hard to delineate at times between their general ignorance of science and the fact that they also simply ignore the evidence against them.

What's even more shocking is the high level of hypocrisy amongst global academia and also many government scientists who are simply ignoring the truth. Even worse are global scientists within government, academia and even the private sector enjoying permanent gainful employment chasing and catching multiple billions of research $$$ every year at taxpayer expense, then conducting questionable or even fraudulent research on global warming, ozone depletion, etc.!!! It's a self perpetuating cycle.

Whether a government scientist or one within academia, when your lively hood depends on earmarked global warming taxpayer funded giveaways by federal and state governments you tell the government what it wants to hear to keep the multiple billions of research $$$ rolling in. Long gone are the days of objectivity in science. In the realm of science you cannot have a consensus. Something either is or isn't. The use of the word points to how politics has entered the world of Science.

Politics must be discussed as unfortunately it has become an integral part of climate science. As George Harrison (of The Beatles fame) said shortly before his death, "Crazy people are running the world".

Here is my personal position on the issue. I'm a registered member of the Democratic Party and I consider myself a moderate overall but it really depends on the issue. I'm a military veteran and disabled due to serving, I believe in God and attend a small church, I'm a social conservative, i.e., I oppose abortion as a means of birth control for the irresponsible and involuntary euthanasia of the elderly.

It's sad but we have a growing cult of death in our society where we don't respect life and don't protect the weak and have therefore separated ourselves from God. Economically I'm just to the left of center and labor also just to the left of center. I also oppose "all" illegal immigration. Within my party I would be considered an old fashioned southern Democrat. I also fully support the concept of the Representative Republic form of government that our founding fathers designed and the Capitalist economic system but not the greedy, ruthless, out of control, virtually unregulated, global style currently rampaging in the U.S. However I do not want to see our economic and political system destroyed and replaced by European or Soviet style Socialism either.

As an objective Scientist I abhor the politicizing of climate science and science in general. Though I'm a registered Democrat I dislike the recent conduct of both major political party's and all politicians. Therefore I personally do not allow political dogma to enter my realm of science. However the opposition have no qualms about mixing political dogma with science. When that occurs you get movies like ex V.P. Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. The movie is total B.S. and should have been named a Convenient Lie. Check out the link below.

UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS-POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN FEDERAL CLIMATE SCIENCE

In Spring 2008 the Senate is expected to vote on a Global Warming bill (Lieberman-Warner) that will impose a $1.2 Trillion tax on the American people, all in the name of Al Gore’s unfounded Climate Alarmist agenda.

President G.W. Bush (he makes me long for a return of President's Carter and Clinton) and the three presidential candidates are all pushing the CO2 Climate Crisis thesis and Climate Alarmists are pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into this massive effort to create the largest expansion of government power in our nation’s history. All this while a growing body of scientific evidence is showing that man-made global warming is not a crisis at all!

Fortunately the above mentioned legislation was defeated in the U.S. Congress in June 2008 but the sponsors will certainly put it forth once again at some future date.

Understand that often when you hear of a scientist or group of scientists that support the lie that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring, he/she is usually a Marxist Political Scientist, a.k.a. teaches political science at the college level. Marxists long ago subverted the education system at every level in the U.S. and they have used it as a tool for recruitment into their political system of Marxism. Check out the link below. The majority of the 45 declared goals have already been attained in the U.S.

THE MARXIST TAKEOVER OF AMERICA THE 45 DECLARED GOALS

Beginning in the early 1980's the old Marxist movement in the U.S. was in increasing disarray. After the fall of Marxism in Russia in 1991 they were left reeling. They began looking for a new place to hide and continue to do their subversive dirty work. That place was the otherwise legitimate Environmentalist movement in the U.S. and the rest is history.

 (Marcus Tullius Cicero)-42-BC once said:

A nation can survive it's fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the allies, heard even in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies within the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."

In any event there is evidence of a sinister political and socio-economic motive driving some of the harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring crowd. Check out this very interesting article in Adobe .pdf form courtesy of Dr. Clarke Mankin.

WARM EARTH FANATICISM & ECONOMIC THEORY

Here is a showcase for how Climate Science has become politically corrupted and how any scientist that dissents from the prevailing opinion that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring, will suffer a similar fate as Galileo did with the Roman Catholic Church.

Dr. Heidi Cullen a Climatologist with The Weather Channel (TWC) recently allegedly advocated in her blog that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) should revoke their Seal of Approval for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe. This latest call to silence skeptics follows the year of 2006 in which skeptics were compared to Holocaust Deniers and Nuremberg style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.

DR. HEIDI CULLEN TWC CLIMATOLOGIST THREAD ON EASTERN U.S. WEATHER FORUMS

You also have to discount the recent report from the morally and ethically corrupted United Nations (U.N.), World Meteorological Organization (W.M.O.) Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (I.P.C.C.). Why? Because they have withheld their research sources. Without research sources you can't trust that their findings have been independently verified.

Recently government scientists at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) released research findings showing that Arctic Ocean sea ice was at its lowest end of summer level coverage in recorded history in 2003. It's simply unproven that the reductions are long term and related to harmful man induced climate change (global warming), versus some other short or medium term atmospheric/ocean interface pattern oscillation such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) or normal minor oscillations in the global ocean Thermohaline circulation. Ironically while bringing forth their Arctic region research data they failed to mention evidence of a cooling trend on the Greenland Ice Cap, surely a simple oversight, NOT!!!

Also while some glaciers are in retreat as the atmosphere is cooling and therefore can hold less moisture and produce less snowfall, other glaciers are advancing. The number of glaciers that are advancing far outnumber the glaciers that are retreating.

Ironically though no matter what the cause for alleged less end of summer Arctic sea ice coverage, if it's true and a long term pattern then this means more cold fresh water in the worlds oceans, which translates into disruption of the global ocean Thermohaline circulation between deep colder water and warmer surface water. End result will be a devastating shift back into a global ice age in only 20-30 years.

Recently an inside contact of mine at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) with a PhD in Meteorology emailed me with the following:

.....I noticed your note about the Goddard research misinformation on ice thicknesses etc. You are correct about their loose use of numbers. I worked for a short while with ------ when she directed Goddard and they really were more emotional than logical. Good to see someone is still reporting their misjudgments about global issues.....

It has also been discovered very recently that NASA has been changing old weather observation data in their published listings of temperature readings from around the world. There were 120+ different lists saved on their site, all with different numbers for the same places and dates, etc. It also appears that all these changes were designed to slowly make the old data be more cool and the newer data to be more warm, giving a boost to the curve or trend line towards warming.

No matter what you call this, when you change recorded data over long periods of time, many years after the original data was gathered/recorded it really invalidates the entire process. It really seems that NASA is trying to cash in on this madness of Global Warming for funding, which as we all know is the real game being played up in Congress anyway, eh?

It's really a sad state of affairs but we cannot trust elements of the U.S. Government, academia and certainly not the media, as they insist that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring, when it's not. The National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration  (NOAA) just declared that 2006 was the warmest year on record in the U.S. Here is their supporting graphic:

2006 was allegedly the warmest on record in the U.S. and by looking at their graphic that was the case for the whole country

However if you dig a little you will find this graphic. Only in New Jersey was 2006 the warmest on record.

This bold faced distortion should outrage anyone and everyone, especially American taxpayers. By the way, tentatively 2006 was the 6th warmest year on record.

Then there is the issue of more and stronger land falling tropical cyclones in recent years in the tropical Atlantic Ocean Basin. The upswing is of course being blamed on harmful man induced climate change (global warming). However in reality we are in a normal cyclical upturn in tropical cyclone formation due to warming of the Atlantic Ocean that follows an approximate 20 year cycle. The cycle is named the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO). The last upturn was in the 1950-1970 time period. If you look at the following graph it's plain to see that it is cyclical in nature.
