Sounds like they’re lying with fake science like libs always do.
Since when is a photon a unit of heating? Did I miss a new scientific discovery (or an old high school class LOL)?
even if all the CO2 stuff is true (which many scientists i respect say it is not), the fact is, even the leaked emails from Hadley CRU, talk about “hiding the decline”. The world has gotten colder since 2003, not warmer!
Top astrophysicists (especially Russians), have been predicting a “mini- ice age” for years. The warming in the 90’s was because the Sun was the most active it’s been in 1000 years. Now, it is giving some of the lowest readings ever.
The best predictions i’ve seen, is that it will continue to get colder, for another 20-30 years.
...sadly, this is still being hidden, largly because the urban heat island effect is ignored. (the IPCC said it is “negligible”.) Yet links like this one, show it is an order of magnitude greater than the wimply 0.6 degree increase they reported. Meaning the net cooling, is even more pronounced.

“* Temperatures ranged from about 7°C in the countryside to 15°C in the heart of the city (CBD).”
(yet the IPCC considers 8.0 degrees of error negligible, while they report a 0.6 degree increase globably ?)
...and worse, people like Hansen at NASA, are removing rural sites, and northern sites, from the official temperature record. Which further skews the reality, in a desperate attempt to create warming that simply isn’t there.
...citris and wine industries already know the truth, because the frost lines, have been creeping north for a decade already. ...and the major cause of death in Florida manatees... is cold ! Many scientists, much smarter than me, have detailed how great a hoax this truly is, at a cost unprecedented in human history.
The only reason it seems warmer is that most of the temperature stations that they use which used to be on the outskirts of town in pastures are now surrounded by asphalt and cement roads, Houses and buildings which absorb more infrared radiation than grassy fields thus raising the local air temps slightly. This is known as the “Urban Micro-Climate Effect”. It is the asphalt’s fault not a minor increase in CO2.
What should we do, tear down all the roads and buildings?
I should stop giving them ideas.
This is a very well written blog. Just bookmarked it.
Thanks for posting the entire article!
In the comments section, #78 (by bananabender) seems to be the best response to this nonsense. In fact, he seems to be the most logical. Notice though, that no one addresses his points. They just ignore it. (at least they do until #150, which is were I am at right now in reading the comments)
I'm pretty sure that is just not possible.
For crying out loud! Whoever wrote that should go back to high school, sit down and shut up. I'm not even going to bother describing what is so stunningly wrong with that.
