Cooling Down the Hysteria About Global Warming
Watts Up With That ^ | 4/20/2019 | Rich Enthoven

Posted on 04/21/2019 5:41:52 AM PDT by norwaypinesavage

Recently, NASA released its annual report on global temperatures and reported that 2018 was the fourth hottest year on record, surpassed only by three recent years. This claim was accompanied by dire predictions of climate change and for immediate action to dramatically curtail CO2 emissions around the globe.....But, a closer look at the data and methods used by NASA should make any reader skeptical of their results.....scientists around the world have been identifying (or constructing) ‘pristine’ weather monitoring stations to get a clearer look at temperature changes. These stations are located in areas where urban development has not occurred and is not expected. These locations do not show any meaningful change in reported land temperatures...and there are plenty of credible estimates that ocean temperatures are not changing rapidly or at anywhere near the rate that NASA is estimating.

This is one of the best, short, data driven essays on temperature manipulation by NASSA and the IPCC that I have seen.

Agree. The side does a superb job of showing the questionable practices of the climate change crowd - to include changes of past data, predictions that are almost laughably incorrect, and more.

Even if you’re not a STEM type, it’s well written and includes actual references.

Sooner or later the pretend science folks like Google will have to ban sites like his because - well - because.

There is a narrative that must be promoted, the control of the world is at stake.

It’s no longer “global warming”. It’s not even “climate change”.

Now, it’s “climate chaos”.

Try to keep up.

How much have sea levels risen on the Boston, New York, and Miami waterfronts?

I’m thinking close to zero, otherwise people would be screaming already, with CNN doing hysterical live reports from the scene ...

obviously that ain’t happening

But but but there is consensus there is warming! So it must be so. Consensus? Go to the race track. Bet “the consensus” favorite every race and note whether you end up with more money at the end of the week. So much for consensus.

Rich Liberals are still buying ocean-front property. They don’t actually seem concerned.

Jim Bridenstine was a rock solid conservative. I wonder what has gotten in to him?

There may be plenty of evidence on how “manmade climate change” is a scam, but that does not prevent some truly horrific ideas from being promoted.

Some “environmentalists” have suggested putting up shades above the earth, apparently completely unaware of the central role that sunlight has on the growth of vegetation. Another scheme involves pulling carbon dioxide out of the air (at a great energy cost), also promoted by those who apparently have no idea that carbon dioxide is quite literally the material of life.

I’ve seen other schemes, as well. What they all have in common is that they would be environmentally disastrous if implemented. Some schemes represent fundamental existential threats to continued life on earth.

I can’t help but wonder if the smart people promoting manmade global warming hysteria are only pushing it as a way to reduce resistance against socialism, or if their ultimate intent is to eliminate life from the planet. I can’t imagine that they are pushing these drastic life-threatening schemes in utter ignorance of the consequences.

I've run the numbers and at the current rate of increase of CO2 it reaches 1000 ppm in 2500. 1000 ppm is the point where plants stop getting any more boast from the CO2 level. They can tolerate it to 1500 ppm after that. By that time they would have likely evolved to be even more accommodating to CO2 levels. I figure by 2500 whatever fossil fuels remaining would be more expensive to use than alternative sources.

In conclusion all this hysteria is bunk , the problem fixes itself without any human efforts needed.

re: “Jim Bridenstine was a rock solid conservative. I wonder what has gotten in to him?”

Remember, this is NASA GISS in New York City.

GISS is Goddard Institute for Space Studies, James Hansen’s old group.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/07/03/the-hansen-forecasts-30-years-later/

“How accurate were James Hansen’s 1988 testimony and subsequent JGR article forecasts of global warming? According to a laudatory article by AP’s Seth Borenstein, they “pretty much” came true, with other scientists claiming their accuracy was “astounding” and “incredible.” Pat Michaels and Ryan Maue in the Wall Street Journal, and Calvin Beisner in the Daily Caller, disputed this.”

You and I both know the “success rate” of straight-line projections into the future ...

There is a weather / temperature station in Mulberry Florida which is been there for decades. When it was put there it was in the middle of an empty field.

Later on that field became a black asphalt parking lot surrounded by buildings and air conditioning units pumping out Heat. And that is considered proof of global temperature change. This temperature / weather station is not an anomaly.
