Global Warming The Anthropocentric Crisis

The global climate warming fuss is not principally an environmental issue but, rather, it is a manufactured crisis supported by copious amounts of manipulated science, reinforced by opinion leaders and promulgated by the cheerleading of the mass media. Global warming has become the mother of all politically correct issues.

Various components of the warming cause, which are only tangentially related to the environment, have been outlined at some length

in Part 1 (Global Warming: The Man-Made Crisis), Part 2 (U.S. and Canada Are Global Warming Scapegoats) and Part 3 (Why Should WE Make Sacrifices to Offset Global Warming?) of this series. However, it is important to comment on what has been regularly presented as scientific justification for sounding alarm bells over climate change, if for no other reason than to set the record straight.

Simply put, climate change – originally an emerging new ice age, then global warming and now climate change – is not a proven fact. To sarcastically mimic the affected gravitas of certain warming experts, we might call it an “anthropocentrically manufactured” issue.

As mentioned in Part 2, in the late 1960’s the United Nations assigned Canadian Maurice Strong, a man possessed of a strong belief in the merits of global governance and the need to establish transnational governmental institutions, to head up what subsequently came to be known as the global climate change initiative.

Mr. Strong, aptly named in spite of possessing the forgettable demeanour of a faceless bureaucrat, has had a successful career as an entrepreneur, businessman and government executive building impressive business and political connections throughout the world. His skills and contacts have made him personally wealthy. He has been able to knit together an extremely effective network of the world’s decision makers in both government and business. While ideologically anchored, he is a master pragmatist in the pursuit of his objectives.

Because of his attributes he was the perfect person to place in charge of an issue designed to further advance his goals and those of other believers in global governance. He moves with ease between and within the world’s governments and business sectors. He isn’t threatening...merely effective. In fact, he is so effective that few people even know his name. People in the know such as Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, published an open letter carried on Mr. Strong’s personal website lauding the man’s Homeric attributes. Not least is that he says Mr. Strong is among the world’s leading environmentalists. Google goes even further to designate him “the world’s leading environmentalist.”

Among Mr. Strong’s first tasks was to obtain and distribute funding to the scientific community for climate change research. Credibility provided by science experts, coupled with their academic credentials and computer models, was critical to the success of presenting and portraying global warming as a factual crisis. He made himself its champion. In other words, global warming was presented as a certitude casting about for the scientific imprint to endorse it as fact.

Needless to say, scientific process is corrupted if it isn’t free to explore where the data takes it. Moreover, the data and processes must be freely available and fully open to challenge if its results and conclusions are to be validated. Because scientific research into global warming became a veritable gusher of ever more and larger government and UN funding, the process became corrupted at record speed.

Individual scientists exhibiting normal human frailties frequently tilted their findings to what was expected. Many succumbed to the lure of ever more research funding and professional status. Those at the climate research apex became celebrities whose status and research findings were cited as unassailable proof for the urgent claims of global warming doomsayers. Scientists who wouldn’t pitch to the predetermined conclusions of the warming playbook were elbowed to the fringe only to witness their research funding evaporate as quickly rain water in a desert.

Climate change as an issue was well managed and effectively lubricated with ample funding. Its central operatives were able to turn it into a crisis of truly global scope and proportions publicized by opinion elites everywhere. Anyone exhibiting the temerity to challenge its received wisdom was cut from the climate warming corral. No debate of consequence was welcomed or countenanced regarding the scientific merits of global warming. Everyone was repeatedly assured that the “science proves” that global warming is indeed a fact.

If or when pushed, questioners were informed that “peer review” by scientists had confirmed the conclusions and settled the issue. There was no debate because there was no need for one. Case closed.

Carbon emissions targets had to be set and assigned, and trading in carbon credits needed to begin immediately if the globe’s population was to avert pending climate calamity. The recent Copenhagen, Denmark UN climate conference held in December 2009 was intended to have national governments sign off on their assigned CO2 emissions targets as presented and endorsed in the Kyoto, Japan Protocol of 1997. Full implementation would begin virtually immediately.

It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...

The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

You were saying ...

There is no such thing as global warming. What you are seeing is a small blip in the up and down cycles of all things on earth. Seems like they are saying that it started down again in 1995.

These are not mere blips on a graph. There is real "Global Warming" and real "Global Cooling". This part of the issue is not fake science. What is fake science is the "Anthropogenic Global Warming"... :-)

See the video documentary up above for the best presentation of the issue, in those terms for the average Joe on the street.

This chart came from these guys... :-)

Global Temperature Trends From 2500 B.C. To 2040 A.D.

Until recently, global temperatures were more than a degree Fahrenheit warmer when compared to the overall 20th Century mean. From August of 2007 through February of 2008, the Earth’s mean reading dropped to near the 200-year average temperature of 57 degrees. Since that time, the mean reading has been fluctuating.

We, Cliff Harris and Randy Mann, believe that the warming and even the cooling of global temperatures are the result of long-term climatic cycles, solar activity, sea-surface temperature patterns and more. However, Mankind’s activities of the burning of fossil fuels, massive deforestations, the replacing of grassy surfaces with asphalt and concrete, the ‘Urban Heat Island Effect,’ are making conditions ‘worse’ and this will ultimately enhance the Earth’s warming process down the meteorological roadway in the next several decades.

From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, a climate research organization called the Weather Science Foundation of Crystal Lake, Illinois, determined that the planet’s warm, cold, wet and dry periods were the result of alternating short-term and long-term climatic cycles. These researchers and scientists also concluded that the Earth’s ever-changing climate likewise has influenced global and regional economies, human and animal migrations, science, religion and the arts as well as shifting forms of government and strength of leadership.

Much of this data was based upon thousands of hours of research done by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler and his associates during the 1930s and 1940s at the University of Kansas. Dr. Wheeler was well-known for his discovery of various climate cycles, including his highly-regarded ‘510-Year Drought Clock’ that he detailed at the end of the ‘Dust Bowl’ era in the late 1930s.

During the early 1970s, our planet was in the midst of a colder and drier weather cycle. Inflationary recessions and oil shortages led to rationing and long gas lines at service stations worldwide. The situation at that time was far worse than it is now, at least for the time being.

The Weather Science Foundation also predicted, based on these various climate cycles, that our planet would turn much warmer and wetter by the early 2000s, resulting in general global prosperity. They also said that we would be seeing at this time widespread weather ‘extremes.’ There’s little doubt that most of their early predictions came true.

Our recent decline in the Earth’s temperature may be a combination of both long-term and short-term climate cycles, decreased solar activity and the development of a strong long-lasting La Nina, the current cooler than normal sea-surface temperature event in the south-central Pacific Ocean. Sunspot activity in the past 18 months has decreased to the lowest levels since ‘The Little Ice Age’ ended in the mid-to late 1800s. This "cool spell," though, may only be a brief interruption to the Earth’s overall warming trend. Only time will tell.

Based on these predictions, it appears that much warmer readings may be expected for Planet Earth, especially by the 2030s, that will eventually top 1998's global highest reading of 58.3 degrees. It’s quite possible we could see an average temperature in the low 60s. Until then, this ‘cooling period’ may last from just a few months to as long as several years, especially if sunspot activity remains very low.

We at Harris-Mann Climatology, www.LongRangeWeather.com, believe that our prolonged cycle of wide weather ‘extremes,’ the worst in at least 1,000 years, will continue and perhaps become even more severe, especially by the mid 2010s. We should see more powerful storms, including major hurricanes and increasing deadly tornadoes. There will likewise be widespread flooding, crop-destroying droughts and freezes and violent weather of all types including ice storms, large-sized hail and torrential downpours.

We are already seeing on virtually every continent an almost Biblical weather scenario of increasing droughts and floods. In both the southwestern and southeastern corners of the U.S, there are severe water shortage problems associated with chronic long-term dryness. In some cases, the water deficits are the worst in at least 400 years.

Dr. Wheeler also discovered that approximately every 102 years, a much warmer and drier climatic cycle affects our planet. The last such ‘warm and dry’ peak occurred in 1936, at the end of the infamous ‘Dust Bowl’ period. During that time, extreme heat and dryness, combined with a multitude of problems during the ‘Great Depression,’ made living conditions practically intolerable.

The next ‘warm and dry’ climatic phase is scheduled to arrive in the early 2030s, probably peaking around 2038. It is expected to produce even hotter and drier weather patterns than we saw during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

But, we should remember, that the Earth’s coldest periods have usually followed excessive warmth. Such was the case when our planet moved from the Medieval Warm Period between 900 and 1300 A.D. to the sudden ‘Little Ice Age,’ which peaked in the 17th Century.

By the end of this 21st Century, a big cool down may occur that could ultimately lead to expanding glaciers worldwide, even in the mid-latitudes. We could possibly see even a new Great Ice Age. Based on long-term climatic data, these major ice ages have recurred about every 11,500 years. Well, you guessed it. The last extensive ice age was approximately 11,500 years ago, so we may be due. Again, only time will tell.
