New Climate Report Repackages Al Gore-ism With a Government Label

The Climate Scam issues another convenient report filled with inconvenient untruths. – The new big trick of the Climate Scammers is to take the rising dollar costs of major disasters in the U.S. and elsewhere and pretend that means the disasters are getting worse and more frequent through time. Hurricane Harvey cost 10 or 20 times – whatever the number is – more than 1961’s Hurricane Carla cost, so that means it was a much worse storm.

Nevermind that, due to the time value of money, a 1961 dollar had ten times the purchasing power than a 2017 dollar. Nevermind that the population and infrastructure buildout along the Texas Gulf Coast has multiplied several times in the intervening 56 years, Harvey cost ten times more so it was a much worse storm. Oh, and we’re getting many more such costly storms these days, so it must be due to global warming caused by your SUVs.

It’s a neat trick, and a new report sponsored by multiple federal agencies – though mysteriously authored by well-known non-government Climate alarmists like Texas Tech’s Katherine Hayhoe – issued on Friday uses it to great effect. It’s Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” redux, a veritable climate alarmism tour de force, only without Al Gore.

It makes all the same predictions Gore’s 2006 screed predicted, only without the frightening film: Sea levels rising, bigger and more frequent hurricanes, melting polar ice caps, bigger and more frequent forest fires, lower crop yields, reduced economic output, and on and on and on.

The problem is, literally nothing Gore predicted has come true. In the 12 years since Gore’s film was released, here is what has actually taken place:

Global temperatures have fallen slightly; The frequency of hurricanes and cyclonic events in the Western Hemisphere has fallen; The frequency and magnitude of U.S. forest fires has declined dramatically; The arctic polar ice cap has remained essentially unchanged while Antarctic ice has risen substantially; Crop yields in the U.S. and globally have risen dramatically; Sea levels have continued to rise at the same pace at which they have risen since the end of the last ice age, and there is not a damn thing Al Gore or the rest of the human race can do to stop it; U.S. economic output is dramatically higher today, in real dollars, than it was in 2006. Gore’s projections in 2006 were based on the predictions of climate models and the climate alarmists who invent and use them. The report issued yesterday, in the midst of the coldest Thanksgiving weekend in modern times, is similarly based on the predictions of climate models and climate alarmists who invent and use them.

It’s the exact same scam in a different package with a different face. Ms. Hayhoe is the same climate alarmist who half a decade ago was assuring us that Texas was in the midst of a “permanent drought”. Texas has experienced half a dozen 500-year flood events since that time.

The Climate Scam was invented and still exists as a tool for the promotion of global socialism. If you believe the projections of climate models rather than actual climate observations, then you believed Al Gore (and still believe him despite the fact that he was wrong about literally everything) and you will believe this latest report.

The rest of us will keep living our lives and await the issuance of the next alarmist tour de force, once the one released yesterday, like Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”, has outlived its usefulness to the global socialist crowd.

Oh, sure, what could possibly go wrong? – The newsfakers at CNN report that climate “scientists” at Harvard and Yale are proposing “an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere.” I swear I don’t make this stuff up.

The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half. The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns. Mind you, these very same people remain utterly incapable of telling you what your weather is going to be 12 hours from now, but now you are supposed to just meekly sit back and smile and eat your Honey Nut Cheerios while they go about engineering the entire planet to prevent disaster projected by climate models that have unfailingly proven to be wrong.

We took a trillion dollar hit to the economy in order to put scrubbers on smokestacks, cut vehicle emissions, and ban super efficient freon from cooling systems in order to remove aerosols from the atmosphere, and now the envirotards want to put them back in?

Criminy, this is worse than going car shopping with the little woman. Just keeps changing her mind.

Al Gore is yesterday’s news. The media is now revving up the ‘climate change’ propaganda engines to lay cover smoke for Jerry Brown and California’s disastrous mismanagement which has been laid bare for all to see due to the wildfires. The weather is Trump’s fault and Russian collusion is but a distant memory. You’d think after enslaving negros, starting a war over it, murdering no fewer than two sitting presidents, and lining their pockets on the misery of others for almost two centuries, people would catch on that the message the democrat party sells and what they actually are, are... well, quite different things.

Breaking news: Global Warming will cause an ice age..oh wait..I have to go feed my unicorn.

The report also says that the poor people in the swing states will be hardest hit... what a coincidence... what will the Repubs do to counter this nonsense... of course nothing.

a winning message would be: let’s let Democrats prove they can run a state before we let them run the country again... and then provide facts about how bankrupt and tax laden the five most democratic states are. what are the crime rates?

Yet there are still those out there,who though in some cases do seem to be highly educated, who keep voting Democrat. Hard to figure, but they are there making the same stupid mistakes & drawing the same stupid conclusions as ever. If they are in public office,they have taken an oath to protect & defend the Constitution of the United States...not the United Nations. If they fail to do so & they ARE FAILING,then they need to swept out of office NOW;not waiting for the next election because they have broken their oath.

Maybe we ought to start a go fund me page to pay for Republicans to have some balls grafted on.

use...large naval-style guns.

I thought they were not too fond of guns at Harvard and Yale.
