Just heard this from a friend: The VA Attorney General just filed suit against the EPA, contesting their assertion that that greenhouse gases are hazardous to your health. If not (hazardous), EPA cannot regulate them.
Anyone hear this??? If it has already been posted, please excuse.
Great! Kick Obama’s a$$ ‘till his nose bleeds!
This really is a biggy, and one that deserves ALL of our abilities in spreading the word about it.
This is a direct legal challenge to the Climate Change Fraud. Getting these Warmer Klowns in court, UNDER OATH, should be a real hoot, although it will take YEARS...
A key component of the scientific argument for anthropogenic global warming (AGW) has been disproven. The results are hiding in plain sight in peer-reviewed journals.
--snip--
The science behind the AGW hypothesis is that increased amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere (that humans produce by burning fossil fuels) will block more outgoing long-wave IR radiation (OLR) from exiting the atmosphere and thereby warm the surface.
--snip--
So the results of three different peer-reviewed papers show that over a period of 36 years, there is no reduction of OLR emissions in wavelengths that CO2 absorb. Therefore, the AGW hypothesis is disproven.
It should be noted that another paper written by Richard Lindzen and Yong-Sang Choi (both work at MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences -- Lindzen is a professor and Choi is a postdoctoral fellow) reveals the differences between the measured OLR and its impact on temperatures vs. climate models. In the paper, the data showed that OLR increased when sea surface temperatures increased, so this is in direct contradiction to the AGW hypothesis that less OLR should be emitted since more CO2 is absorbing it and warming the planet. Furthermore, in contradiction to the climate models, these results show that OLR is acting like a negative feedback (cooling the surface) instead of a positive feedback (radiative forcing). The Lindzen and Choi paper dealt in general with all OLR wavelengths and didn't show granularity with respect to specific wavelengths that were related to various GHG absorption, but the fact that the entire OLR emission spectrum didn't behave like the eleven climate models' predictions means that "the science isn't settled."
IMHO, the title should have been, "The Four Anti-AGW Smoking Guns."
climategate.com should suffice as the source. Repating the source URL isn't necessary.
This should be good.
Go Big Coal!
(Spoken like a proud Kentuckian)
Coal: The U.S. is sitting on a Sh$tload of it AND we don’t have to bow to the Saudis who may not “sponsor” terror, but who certainly heve birthed their share of Anti-American terrorists.
Clean coal technology for America, YES!
Thanks SO MUCH for posting! The USA is the Saudi Arabia of coal — just think! Clean cheap energy, jobs, prosperity! What the heck is the matter with the EPA? That’s one agency that needs to be defunded. They have done more to destroy free enterprise than any other agency in the country. Logging, mining, refining, drilling, all fall under the EPA thumb — why? Nobody elected those freaks, but they somehow regulate every business in the country.
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay,
I can't take you back my darling young daughter,
Mr. Peabody's coal trains have hauled it away."
Hate to say it, but this will probably get dismissed under soverign immunity.
This is starting to get good!
They should sue AlGore, too, while they’re at it.
GOOD JOB! Keep it up.
Whoohoo! Great news! Start praying now for their success!
Obama promised to put our coal industry out of business. I hope Peabody cleans the administration’s clock!
Glad someone is finally starting to fight back.
Good.
