The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant.
This is the same Dr. Phil Jones that shortly after went on record with this statement:
What matters is the underlying rate of warming - the period 2001-2007 with an average of 0.44 degree C above the 1961-90 average was 0.21 degree C warmer than corresponding values for the period 1991-2000 http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:CyEF9-04fOoJ:uk.reuters.com/article/idUKL0314515220080103+phil+jones+warmest+years&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
The real question is :
What evidence is there for the CO2 hypothesis vs the Natural Fluctuations hypothesis?
From Van Jones to Jeff Jones to Phil Jones , it’s hard to keep up with the Jonses.
1. that colder weather results in a lot more sickness and death than warmer weather,doesn't it follow that
2. that lack of air-conditioning results in heat deaths among the sick and elderly and a decreased quality of life for almost everyone else,
3. that people who are not living as drug addicts or alcoholics under a bridge live in a human environment that could not exist without a lot of easily obtainable, relatively inexpensive energy,
4. that EPA regulations on CO2 will necessarily result in a dramatic increase in the cost of anything that depends on a process that produces CO2,
5. and that EPA regulations on CO2 aren't based on anything more than a political agenda,
1. to the extent that people don't cut back on their energy use they will necessarily become poorer in other material ways and to the extent that they do they will necessarily endanger their health, safety, and comfort in cold weather,Because of this, Obama and the other global warmists/climate hysterics are preparing to do to the USA what Ruckelshaus did to Africa and other developing nations.
2. they will do the same in hot weather,
3. their human environment (including jobs) will be endangered,
4. the EPA, simply by making a ruling, is bringing demonstrable harm to hundreds of millions of people by attacking, through what amounts to a vast tax increase, the foundation of their human environment on the pretext that it will prevent them from suffering some unproven future danger from their physical environment,
5. and that the EPA's move in this regard is virtually identical in method (ignoring the science, making arbitrary decisions) and purpose (making decisions to remake American society for political purposes) to what it did in the person of William Ruckelshaus over DDT and to what others did through the big cancer scare to create the EPA to begin with (see The Apocalyptics: Cancer and the Big Lie, How Environmental Politics Controls What We Know About Cancer by Edith Efron, this included scientific fraud, scare tactics to increase federal money spent on trying to stave off what turned out to be a hoax, biased scientists and huckster politicians, such as Paul Ehrlich, Barry Commoner, Rene Dubos, and George Wald, using their positions to push their agenda)?
We just put to rest the silly notion that large scale conspiracy’s could never occur. The correct answer is they can occur, but they apparently have a shelf life of about 5 to 8 years. Thus, the conspiracy to hide the global cooling trend since 1998, has collapsed.
Hello.
I’ve been thinking about the global warming scam and I
figure the Vested Interests(not just govt)were looking to wash their hands of the misery they and their fore-bearers have wrought world wide and magically blame it all on us “commoners”, esp. us American peons.
Of course, they got caught, just like the big-brained people knew they would but whatevs.
Hopefully they all end up like Jim Jones.
Actually, I’d be happy to see them end up like JojoJones, an ex-poster here, c.2000, banned for life, I presume.
