SolveClimateNews.com blessed us with an article telling how Google "has brought together a team of 21 climate researchers to improve the way the science of global warming is communicated using new media". This, no doubt in response to widespread reports of a Gallup poll showing ever-decreasing concern by the public about global warming, which must also explain why the GOP-controlled US House is moving forward with actions to thwart greenhouse gas regulations. Ignorance run amok, thus Google's experts are here to save the day.
If only that were the case. The enormous irony here is the very service Google itself provides: people can do their own fact checking on the so-called global warming crisis and all facets related to it.
...Why is Google and its hand-picked experts' seeking to re-educate us on global warming? Because we used Google to discover the mainstream media and far-left politicians and enviro-activist groups have orchestrated their narratives to exclude half the story. This is entirely the reason why I write these pieces, I read Ross Gelbspan's accusation against skeptic scientists for the upteenth time in 2009, but I didn't just move along, I stopped to Google search it.

A-men! And now, from the crowd for you: A-MEN!
I’ve got a strong thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermophysical properties of materials background. The idea that you can boil down a property measured at single points like temperature [ T = f(x,y,z,t)] into an average for a field as large as the planet, for a year, with the ridiculously small number of measuring stations we have, with the instrumentation and measurement inaccuracies we have, and have it be accurate to a tenth of a degree F, is just laughable to anyone with a clue.
Unsurprisingly, you can’t find a basic treatise from the Warmist Alarmists on how you go about calculating the earth’s average temperature to the requisite accuracy given all the measurement shortcomings.
To then think we can do the same thing with tree rings and such (TREE RINGS!) to go back in time is so absurd it is just absolute insanity. Except for all the $dollars involved. Once you understand that, it all starts to make sense.
Last fall a search on Gobble Gobble would tell you that it would never rain in Calif again and we would all die. Last week the Feds and State were releasing water from our reservoirs to make way for the latest rains and record snow melt to try to prevent flooding in the Sac Valley. I use Snippy and my First Wife uses Bing...
That be Yippy not Snippy Tork!
More proof Google has jumped the shark. It’s newest algorithm destroys small businesses, gives $1 billion in adsense revenue to the leftist MSM and returns search results that are targeted to little boys still using crayons.
Die, Google, die!
Any organization that lists the New York Times, Newsweek, the Huffington Post, the IRS and the LA Times as “authoritative” sites deserves a long, slow and painful market death.

U.S. and global Temperatures are cooling (it’s obvious that the Earth is now cooling but Americans are so brainwashed they let the idiots in the MSM prevent them from thinking independently. The idiots in the press simply print what they are told by their liberal Gods. The goal is to drive energy prices through the roof and to collect the money to further the radical leftist agendas).
*October 2009 U.S. temperatures according to NOAA were the third coldest in 115 years of record keeping, 4 degrees below the average temperature for this month. link October 2009 also had the most snow in the U.S. than has ever been recorded for that month.
*Germany recorded in 2009 its lowest October temperature in history link. New Zealand had record low October temperatures and record late snows link China had the worst October snowstorms in recorded history, 40 people died and over 9,000 buildings collapsed link
Siberia may have had its coldest winter in history in 2009-2010 link European and Asian temperatures in the winter 2009-2010 were well below normal link
*October 2008 to January 2009 temps were well below normal link According to the NCDC U.S. temperatures in October 2009 was on average the third coldest in 116 years, November was the 4th coldest, and February 2010 was the 29th coldest. U.S. temperatures December ‘09 - February ‘10 were well below normal link. UK experiences coldest May temps in 15 years link U.S. temps Nov ‘09 to May ‘10 remain mostly below normal link , October ‘09 through March ‘10 was the snowiest on record in the northern hemisphere link
*In the U.S. temperatures cooled in five of the last seven decades even though CO2 levels increased steadily throughout this period. link link
*In February 2010, the Northern Hemisphere had the second largest area of snow coverage ever recorded link and North America had the most snow cover ever recorded. Snow coverage in the Northern hemisphere has been growing since 1998 link. Snow in areas where it usually does not snow can only be because temperatures are colder, and not from global warming link The additional snow was not because of higher levels of humidity, according to NCDC February ‘10 was the 47th driest in 116 years.
July 2010, South America experiences historic cold weather link Argentina experiences coldest winter in 40 years link
Summer 2010, record cold in Australia link
Cold weather kills 600 rare Penguins in South Africa link
In spite of all the hot weather of late, according to NOAA 62% of the continental U.S. had below normal temperatures January-July 2010 link

So they want to impose regulation by lying and they have no burden of proof...we do.....
.....AND.....
.....Seeking the truth and requiring actual conclusive scientific proof is NOISE.
This is going to be unpopular as hell on FR, but I’m convinced that the general opposition to environmentalism by Conservatives is going to come back and bite us in the ass, both at the polling booth and in the wallet.
I see no reason why Conservatism can’t co-opt fiscally responsible environmentalism from liberals. While I am unconvinced about climate change, it’s stupid in the extreme to think that humans have no effect on the planet, or that this effect wont hurt the global economy.
Private enterprise is, of course, the best route to developing solutions to problems like pollution, deforestation and reduced bio-diversity, not Government regulation. So how do we, as conservatives, spur private enterprise to make the innovations that will produce jobs, improve productivity and reduce the impact we have on the environment?
At the moment we’re so obsessed with viewing anything that sounds even remotely like environmentalism as liberal ‘enviro-weenie’ stuff we’re missing out on a huge, huge opportunity that, if we don’t find a way to assimilate into our platform WILL cost us elections in the future. I’m sure of it.
