World set to heat up despite clean-energy efforts: IEA
AFP News ^ | November 12, 2013

Posted on 11/12/2013 9:03:40 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Global warming is set to heat up with temperatures rising to nearly twice targets set by the United Nations, the International Energy Agency warned on Tuesday.

This is despite pushes towards energy efficiency and a raft of international pledges to curb global warming, the IEA said.

The talks and the IEA's gloomy forecast come just as the world comes to grips with the aftermath of the devastating typhoon in the Philippines with over 10,000 people feared dead.

Scientists say the frequency storms of such murderous power will only increase with the rise in the earth's temperature.

Perhaps fire and brimstone will fall on the ungodly once again. Now that would truly be anthropomorphic warming, caused by the actions of man.

The answer is simple: more global taxes, more regulation, lower standard of living.

Except for those perpetrating the lie of course.

Once again, the UN climate committee fails to check the weather....

Wanna bet that the global climate cools n the next 25 years to record lows and everyone want to know why? Solar cycles, solar minimums and the next mini-ice age.

NASA’s Long Range Solar Forecast from 2006 indicated that the upcoming solar cycle (cycle 24) will be at best, similar to the cycle in effect at press time (cycle 23). More importantly, cycle 25 which will cover the time period 2020-231, is projected to be well below the current cycles.
Solar cycles are approximately 11 years in duration, and are measured in terms of the amount and intensity of sun spot activity. Sun spots are eruptions of highly energetic magnetic fields that originate deep within the core of the sun. Scientists tract the sun spot over time and compute a rate of occurrence and that rate of occurrence is then measured by movement of the sun spots along the surface of the sun. The normal rate of movement has been observed since the late nineteenth century at about one meter per second,; however, according to this 2006 article, the “conveyor belt, the areas of the sun that show most sun spot activity, has slowed to .75 mps in the northern area, and .35 mps in the southern area, indicative of a significant decrease in sun spot activity over time.
The significance of this rather dated report is that the energy released by the sun, which directly affects the earth’s climate, is lessening and the result of that would logically be the cooling of the earth over time as heat is lost and not replaced by lower solar radiation concentrations reaching the earth. Conversely, during solar maximums, the earth is heated to a greater extent (laws of thermodynamics- conservation of energy).
My assessment of this report agrees with the plethora of other reports available through open-sources that are indicative of global cooling due to the decrease of solar activity, not due to some illicit result of man’s industriousness and activity.
I offer up the concept that man indeed has little to no intentional or planned control over the earth’s climate, except perhaps in the case of micro-climate phenomenon around large metropolitan areas, but then only to the extent that the atmospheric currents allow those conditions to exists.
I found several graphs which depict the solar cycles from antiqity through present and we can clearly see that the suns activity and consequently the earth’s exposure to solar energy varies quite a bit. Not coincidently, the weather patterns of the earth reflect those changes with some lag and the surges and ebbs of the solar activity directly affect our weather.

“...Scientists say the frequency storms of such murderous power will only increase with the rise in the earth's temperature....”

Interesting - here at the actual words from the latest IPPC report. The word WILL does not seem to appear...:^)

Based on process understanding and agreement in 21st century projections, it is likely that the global frequency of occurrence of tropical cyclones will either decrease or remain essentially unchanged, concurrent with a likely increase in both global mean tropical cyclone maximum wind speed and precipitation rates. The future influence of climate change on tropical cyclones is likely to vary by region, but the specific characteristics of the changes are not yet well quantified and there is low confidence in region-specific projections of frequency and intensity. However, better process understanding and model agreement in specific regions indicate that precipitation will likely be more extreme near the centres of tropical cyclones making landfall in North and Central America, East Africa, West, East, South and Southeast Asia as well as in Australia and many Pacific islands.

Do you think the newspaper is scare mongering? /S

I like heat-—I don’t live in Texas to be cold—LOL!

If it gets too hot, I go into an air conditioned place.

I think we would be better off to leave the climate in God’s hands.

Sounds like the elite need to scam more money from the public.

The fruitcakes are panicked, not because warming is occurring, but because it isn’t, and the scam is going to be up. We are witnessing a mad and desperate attempt to tie up the long con while there are still suckers who believe it.

Yeah and let’s not forget those good ol ice ages every so often

Oh and how many hurricanes did we have this year? 0

yep. Only way to prevent typhoons and hurricanes is to send AlGore money. LOL!

Trouble is, there are millions who actually think this.

Well, we’ll see how that works out for you when your electric rate “necessarily skyrocket” under the lyin’ kings plan. Especially if the temps are supposed to double. HUH? Don’t think my ac can handle 180 degree heat.

The warmer the planet is projected to heat is adversely affected by how desperate the leftists are to cling to the scam before it flows down the sewer with the rest of the socialist democratic agenda.

Yup. “Father” knows best and he’ll decide what to do with us.
