Global warming: When science meets science fiction
washington times ^ | June 6, 2015 | Tim Constantine

That’s right, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is turning science into science fiction — literally.

The federal agency “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record.

New climate data by NOAA “scientists and researchers doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.

You read me right. These “scientists and researchers” have determined they know better than the actual weather records what the temperatures around the globe were and are. It’s not fact. It’s not science. It’s their best guess, which by no small coincidence, supports the theory of global warming.

Let’s call it what it is. The science fiction of global warming.

The Left lies.

That’s a defining characteristic.

I do believe the climate is changing, however I fail to believe it is man created, yes we have had an impact, but in such a minuscule way that can’t be measured. On a grand scale the planet has seen much higher and lower temperatures throughout its history. The way I look at it is, if the earth has seasons, then the sun must as well. It doesn’t end there, our solor system might have seasons, the star cluster we are part of, expand out to the galaxy and further out to our galaxy cluster, then our universe, etc etc. Flat out these idiots have a hard enough time understanding the daily weather, I would put more trust in a drunken chimpanzee with a handgun than those fools.

Global or not, I pray for rain daily. Here in Eastern Washington and North Idaho, it looks like it’s going to be a very dry summer. My loved ones could lose everything if fires start in their area.

When oil will reach its plateau of $200, the world will slow down carbon consumtpion by itself and keep it at $200 because no one buys it for more than that.

Global Warming is a hoax because the world will stop having carbon resources long before it gets warmed by them.

It is all redistribution politics, making artificial winners and losers, and then making everyone a loser.

Dude, although the climate is always fluctuating, I agree that man has little to do with it. It most certainly is NOT getting warmer as the last several winters and the last several summers have been freezing. At least in Northern Ohio.

Perhaps. Then, again, the market will decide that American dollars are no longer needed, for standardization. Perhaps.

Well in Washington state my house usually gets 4-8 feet of snowpack, this year I had one snowfall of 6” that lasted for a couple days. Again it goes back to cycles, I just get mad at those idiots that think because of a couple of odd weather years they cry the sky is falling. How hard is it for them to accept things that cannot be explained, too much school indoctrination, eago, and almost no logical reasoning.

I vote Conservative. Or at least as Conservative as possible. We also have little to do with picking who would be a standard bearer for either party as our primary is usually held after the nominee is all but decided.

That is the absolute truth of the matter. They are taking readings, reliable for little more than a century and drawing conclusions on climate over thousands of years.

It is not science any more than Astrology is science. Astrology may be more legitimate since they at least use measurable patterns of movements of celestial bodies to make hypothesis. Global Warmists just make up numbers up of whole cloth and claim they measured them.

Yep, exactly. What really gets my blood boiling are the morons that think we can control it. Heck the majority of these “experts” have a hard enough time controlling their bi-cycles commuting to work let alone the weather. I hear about a lot of them getting wrapped up under cement trucks, garbage trucks and other vehicles almost every day in Portland. I can’t help but chuckle whenever I hear about one of the spandex mafia ending up as a speed bump.

I know. Our votes are dust. May we keep Faith.

That brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. We are presently experiencing a remodeling of many of the city streets while they are being resurfaced here in Cleveland. We now have an abundance of bike lanes making traffic on surface roads a nightmare by eliminating two out of five lanes on most main arteries. Instead of four lanes and a turning lane we have a turning lane and two vehicle lanes and two dedicated bike lanes.

This is because they are using some Federal money on these roads and bike lanes are mandated. Yet, I never see a bike in the lanes and the weather in my area is too unpredictable or too cold to peddle a bike more than half the year anyway. The bike enthusiasts must have some powerful lobbyists.

BTW: I don’t ever remember seeing an actual bike rider in any of the new bike lanes.

Well, most importantly in my area is keeping the spread in the votes between the Democrat and Republican candidates at a minimum. If a Democrat can’t get a large margin of victory in Cuyahoga county, they can not take Ohio. In every Democrat victory in Ohio the margin of the victory has been lower than the vote difference in Cuyahoga County. For example in 2012 Obama won Cuyahoga County by more than 236,000 votes, but won all of Ohio by less than 167,000 votes.

In a way all votes do count. Especially those of the long dead residents of Cleveland who vote all over the city, often more than once.

Same in Portland, what I would like to see is, mandatory licensing and liability insurence for bi-cyclists, they pay nothing for those streets yet demand improvements. But if you mention those two things they scream discrimination. Honestly if I ran over one of the spandex mafia and it was completely their fault, I would put it in reverse, just to make sure their stupidity was rewarded. If it was my fault, of course I would stick around and make sure they got the emergency services I pay for.

Flipping liberals, sometimes I wish I could be so oblivious to reality as them.
